EP Review: When It Rains – Kyle Lettman

Kyle Lettman When it Rains EP

Following the explosive, multi-genre EP Under Construction, KYLE LETTMAN takes it back a couple of tempos (and back to the 90s) with his latest offerings, When It Rains, released earlier this month.

The sweetest old school R&B slow jams take centre stage in the six-track production, where the London-based songster gives the between-the-sheets treatment to Adele’s hit, Hello.

LADIES (or guys!): if you go weak at the knees as soon as you hear a ballad, well  it’s definitely worth investing your time in this little treasure.

Must Listens: Hello, Love language, When It Rains.

EP Review: DreamVacation

DreamVacation

Gerry Matthews (bass/backing vocals), Morgan Terrinoni (guitar), and Noah Alexander (drums) -aka LA  indie rock band DREAMVACATION – have released their self-titled EP this month.

Produced by John Rausch (Taylor Swift, Pink, Florence and the Machine), the three-track set display the opposite ends of  the rock music spectrum. The result is a delicate presence of  panoramic soundscapes with the almost aggressive guitar gently ripping through the arrangements.

These rockers are definitely worth their weight in gold because they sure know how to effortlessly create a perfect balance of bitter and sweet. It’s worth a trial; have a listen right here.

 

EP Review: Do You Feel Electric? – Miss

miss

Fresh blood to the music scene, electronic rock duo MISS have released their entirely self-produced EP, Do You Feel Electric? last month.

Their four-track collection displays an avant-garde (and I have to say) a very dark approach to the aforementioned genres,  creating bitter-sweet volcanic bursts of excitement, well executed by the guitar and the piano (in Shelter).

Based in London and Sussex, these alternative rockers took a big gamble with their debut offering…and it could pay off quite handsomely. Show your support and take time out and listen to the EP.

Must Listens: Smokescreen (watch the video here), Shelter.

EP Review: A Light Echo – Rainbow Shark

Rainbow Sharks

Following the debut release of the critically acclaimed self-titled EP in 2013, Jack Levy (vocals, keys, laptop) and Bill Wright (guitars)- aka  London-based duo RAINBOW SHARK – return, fully refreshed, and are more than ready to unleash their second EP A Light Echo.

A feather light pop rock is featured in the four-track set, pulled together by melodic electronic overtones, which is (sort of) a cross between Depeche Mode and New Order. Have a listen and see if you agree.

Must Listens: Make Me Heavy, Falling For You 

EP Review: Omni – Philo B

Omni EP

After a two-year hiatus, North Miami upfront emcee PHILO B makes his return to the music scene with a brand new EP titled  Omni.

Once you get past the cheeky intro, the seven-track set is sure to be a delight for fans who await for his return as it features silky-smooth and after hours bangers where PHILO B‘s awkwardly vibrant flow rips through each arrangements and takes centre stage.

This out-of-sight EP is the perfect warmup to his forthcoming album, Black Caesar. It’s definitely worth your time; check it out!

Must Listens: Aqua, Get Down, Look Like.
