WATCH: Complicated Animals – ‘Show Me’

A lush, dreamy set of visuals that’ll have you swaying under the nearest mirror ball, Brazilian/American duo Complicated Animals have shared a video for latest single ‘Show Me’. Formed of Monica da Silva and Chad Alger, the track encompasses a more electronic, synth-based feel and explores the complexities of pure human connection.

“’Show Me’ really struck me as an intense idea for a song,” explains vocalist da Silva. “It’s scary how detached we humans have become. Technology is great, but we’ve got to remember how important human interaction is, and not just go through the motions like zombies. For this song, Chad dug an old synthesizer we had out of the closet. We started stacking sounds and layering vocals. The production came together quickly, and virtually all of the sounds in the track were created using the same synth.”

Watch the video for ‘Show Me’ below, and follow the band on Facebook for more updates.

P.S. Monica da Silva’s song ‘Back To His Girl’ is now featured in the Oscar-nominated movie Lady Bird. Go and see it!

Track Of The Day: Cozy Slippers – ‘Not Hard To Say Goodbye’

Having started when Barbara Barrilleaux and Sarah Engel met at ‘Ladies Rock Camp’, a weekend event that brings women together to learn to play instruments and form bands, Seattle based Cozy Slippers have since recruited guitarist Steven Skelton and are now set to release their second EP.

Taken from the EP, new single ‘Not Hard To Say Goodbye’ is a perfect slice of jangly indie-pop. Filled with sweeping luscious harmonies and twinkling hooks, it oozes a gentle romanticism and sunny, heartfelt joy. A musically layered and lyrically rich offering, it’s guaranteed to brighten even the darkest of days.

 

Postcards, the new EP from Cozy Slippers, was mixed by Dylan Wall (Hibou, Tangerine, Craft Spells, High Sunn), and is out 20th April on Jigsaw Records.

WATCH: Valeska Rautenberg – ‘Midnight Children’

Born in East Berlin to artistic parents, independent musician Valeska Rautenberg felt destined to tread a creative path. After studying at Universities and pursuing musical collaborations, she began creating her own music, and now Valeska has shared her new single ‘Midnight Children’.

Released on 5th March, it’s the first single to be shared from her upcoming EP, Aerial Minds. “It’s a song for all the night addicts and over-thinkers, the brooders, introverts, and the melancholy lovers,” Valeska explains about ‘Midnight Children’. “It’s for the sensitive ones, moon howlers, the seekers and believers. This is both for the beauty and the ugliness we all carry inside. Cherish it!” Inspired by the elements and the emotions that coincide with them, we’re excited to hear Valeska’s Aerial Minds EP and more of her future releases.

Watch the video for ‘Midnight Children’ below, and follow Valeska on Facebook for more updates.

Get In Her Ears Live @ The Finsbury w/ Ghum, 09.03.18

Following a host of super amazing bands playing for us over the last year – including LIINES, Witch Fever, The Magnettes, H.Grimace, REWS, Trash Kit and Deux Furieuses – we were back at The Finsbury on Friday night for another jam-packed night of the best new music.

Kicking off the night was our special secret opener, Indian Queens, treating our ears to their totally dreamy sounds.

Next up, London collective Best Praxis draw us in with their immense passion.

Penultimate band of the night, Gravey, blow us all away with their unique seething power and punk-driven energy.

Finally, headliners Ghum end the night by captivating the packed-out venue with the sweeping splendour of their atmospheric dark pop.

HUGE thanks to the four fantastic bands who made Friday night so awesome, and to everyone who made it down to help us celebrate International Women’s Day!  Join us next month on 13th April when GIHE faves Dream Nails will be headlining, along with The Franklys, Madame So and Gold Baby.
