Track Of The Day: Projector – ‘Superstar’

“Don’t wanna be a woman with a smile like flat champagne” sings Projector vocalist & bassist Lucy Sheehan on the band’s latest single ‘Superstar’ – and we couldn’t agree more. Filled with crashing drums, powerful vocals and strung out guitar riffs, ‘Superstar’ is an immersive, raw exploration of the uncertainties that come with trying to make it big.

Based in Brighton, Lucy, Demelza (drums) and Ed (vocals and guitar) formed Projector in 2017, and began creating music together, creating sounds that were influenced by the 90s grunge era. Their blend of cathartic lyrics and abrasive, catchy sounds caught the attention of PRS and Festival Republic’s ‘Rebalance’ initiative this year, and since then the trio have been busy recording and gigging across the country.

Listen to the track below and follow Projector on Facebook for more updates.

LISTEN: GRAE – ‘Woman’s World’

Turning frustration in to fighting spirit: Toronto’s GRAE has shared her new single ‘Woman’s World’. The track is accompanied by a self-directed set of visuals that GRAE worked on with collaborator and friend, Lizzie O’Donnell.

Though GRAE’s vocals are soft, her defiant lyrics reflect the despair she feels at the demoralizing street harassment women receive whilst trying to go about their ordinary lives. Her mix of catchy electronics and marching beats provide a strong soundscape to protest to.

Speaking about the track, GRAE explains:
“’Woman’s World’ was written from a place of disappointment and anger after a night out with my best friend. After having experienced my first real encounter with street harassment. It’s infuriating that women continue to get harassed, yelled at, even grabbed and touched by men in public places. What’s even more upsetting is how often it happens and how it’s almost deemed as this regular thing that we need to just “deal with” as women. It’s a topic that upsets me and one that needs to be talked about more. I have many friends who have experienced sexual harassment, and I myself have too. After having heard stories from many who are close to me, and then having experienced it myself, it was clear that I needed to say something.

Fueled by her desire to empower women and right the wrongs she’s experienced, ‘Woman’s World’ is a promising start from this exciting new musician. Watch the video for the single below, and follow GRAE on Facebook for more updates.

WATCH: I SEE RIVERS – ‘Collide’

Impassioned vocals and delightful melodies combine on Nordic trio I SEE RIVERS‘ latest single, ‘Collide’. The track is accompanied by a set of beautifully choreographed visuals, featuring two dancers clashing before finally resolving their differences and coming together again.

The trio, formed of Eline (Keys, vocals, percussion), Gøril (guitar, vocals, drum pad) and Lill (drums, vocals) met whilst studying in Liverpool, despite originally coming from Norway. The band have since relocated to Pembrokeshire in Wales, and are recording their debut album in the newly renovated Carmel Chapel with the aid of Owain Jenkins.

Speaking about their new single, the band explain: “The themes of ‘Collide’ are of conflict and reconciliation, turbulence and transparency. In contrast to the familiar voices and relatable lyrics, the production of the song is both more contemporary and more adventurous than our previous releases, focusing more on creating space using a combination of gritty, acoustic sounds and sweeping, synthesized elements.”

We welcome this new direction in sound from I SEE RIVERS’, and embrace their pitch perfect voices and developed “float pop” sounds here at Get In Her Ears. Watch the video for ‘Collide’ below, and follow I SEE RIVERS on Facebook for more updates.

Listen back to our radio show with the trio here.

LISTEN: Kraków Loves Adana – ‘Follow The Voice’

Sharp percussion, hazy guitar sounds and longing vocals mesh together in moody style on ‘Follow The Voice’, the latest single from Hamburg-based duo Kraków Loves Adana. Formed of Deniz Çiçek and her partner Robert Heitmann, the pair have recently signed to iconic label Italians Do It Better (Chromatics, Desire, Glass Candy).

With a sound that would sit comfortably on the soundtrack for Drive, ‘Follow The Voice’ brims with hypnotizing synth textures and melancholic lyrics. The track is accompanied by a self-directed video which the duo filmed in Hamburg. The visuals show Deniz falling under the spell of her own voice, draped in colourful veils and flashing lights.

Kraków Loves Adana formed in 2006 after eyeing each other for months at the same nightclubs in Germany. Now, with the production skills of Johnny Jewel, the duo are set to share their debut album in early 2020, as well as supporting Chromatics & Desire on stage for the European leg of their “Double Exposure” world tour.

Listen to ‘Follow The Voice’ below and follow Kraków Loves Adana on Facebook for more updates.
