Song of the Day: Delroy Lindo – Forebear

forebear Delroy

One of NEW LEASE MUSIC’s hot favourites FOREBEAR makes an appearance for the first time this year, but a tad more broody and darker than usual.

Their latest single, Delroy Lindo ( in the words of  frontman Scott Goldbaum) tells a story of two people moving to the West Coast to be together only to have the illusion of what they thought waited for them be eaten alive by their false romanticism.

Delroy Lindo is the lead single from their highly anticipated album, Good God, set for release on 26th August. For now, have a listen.

New Music Video: Carousel – Nick Valentini Collective

nick valentini collective video visual

 

NICK VALENTINI COLLECTIVE started out only six months ago and  the eight-piece Californian alternative rock outfit have already received praise in their hometown for fusing indie rock, jazz and experimental psychedelic soul.

The video to single, Carousel gives an insight to their much appreciated talent. Featuring Valentini’s soulful vocals, layered over smooth piano riffs and experimental clashing  guitars, the five-minute production boasts stunning animated visuals, which perfectly works in unison with the captivating composition.

Dubbed as “jazz fusion Radiohead”, the collective’s debut album is set for release later in the year and will be touring extensively this summer.

It’s not often I say this – the video and the song are truly BREATHTAKING…take a few minutes out of your busy schedule see for yourself.

Song of the Day: Trust – Major Minus

After listening to today’s track, I’ve mistaken the four-piece band MAJOR MINUS for well seasoned musicians with a string of acclaimed albums in circulation. In fact the Californian-based rockers (who are aged between  16-18!) just released their debut self-titled EP.

The band’s experimental sound with clashing guitar riffs and powerful vocals caught the attention of  prominent figures in the music industry, including Grammy-nominated producer Ghian Wright (Paul McCartney, Oasis, John Legend), who worked with the teenagers on  their EP.

With live performances at  The House of Blues and Club Nokia, this young rock band is definitely the one to watch…go and see what all the fuss is about and listen to Trust.
