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.

Song of the Day: Cusp – Forebear

 

Today’s song is Cusp by Los Angeles-based indie rock band, FOREBEAR. The single is coming from their debut self-titled EP.

The band came to life in early 2014, when frontman Scott Goldbaum and Molly Rogers (viola, vocals) join forces with Mike Mussleman (drums) and Nick Chadian (bass). Each member have worked with various artists/bands including Feist, Randy Jackson, Keith Urban and Bastille.

After a few months into their existence, the four-piece rockers caught the attention of famed producer/engineer Scott Gordon (Alanis Morissette, Ringo Star) and the result was their debut  EP.  Cusp made it to today’s hot spot as it features Goldbaum’s stream of conscious lyrics, Molly’s  brooding viola solos and a velvety  rock drive that’s rarely found today.

FORBEAR EP is available right here.
