Track Of The Day: Aisha Badru – ‘Bridges’

As the new year dawns bright, New York singer-songwriter Aisha Badru’s first UK single ‘Bridges’, and its accompanying video, are a great start.

‘Bridges’ has a lush, enveloping sound; featuring Aisha’s soft, soothing vocals like sparkling ripples on water. It is a positive song, offering hope in a powerfully subtle way, as it explores the persistence required in relationships. It’s a song about not giving in, despite differences – “There’ll be oceans for us to tread, There’ll be bridges for us to mend, But I’ll stick to it”.

The delicate voice and lyrics blend folk and electronica with violins and piano keys in a beautiful orchestration of feeling, making the listener stop and absorb the lyrics and message: a universal one of unwavering love despite the obstacles – “We were worlds apart, so I fell from the stars, I travelled long and I travelled far.” A song that begins with lyrics as beautiful as these will capture your heart, and start a quiet revolution. Often the greatest obstacle that we face is ourselves, and this song offers transcendence of limitations. 

‘Bridges’ is the lead single on Aisha Badru’s forthcoming debut album due this year, via Nettwerk Music Group.

Track Of The Day: Moon Palace – ‘Shapeshifter’

Seattle rockers Moon Palace have a sound inspired by “vast landscapes and invisible forces,” and their latest track ‘Shapeshifter’ is an atmospheric, ambient reflection on these influences. The song displays the band’s ability to blend traditional and electronic instruments alongside their measured, beautiful vocal harmonies.

Formed in 2016, Moon Palace consists of Cat Biell (guitar/vocals), Carrie Biell (bass/vocals), Alina Santillan (guitar/vocals/trumpet), Darcey Zoller (cello) and Jude Miqueli (drums). The band members are all active in queer, political and feminist causes, and all cut their teeth performing in other groups before coming together to form Moon Palace.

This single ‘Shapeshifter’ is taken from Moon Palace’s debut LP which was released in late 2017. You can stream the LP in full on the band’s bandcamp page, or simply listen to the glory of ‘Shapeshifter’ below.

Track Of The Day: Night Shades – ‘Caveman Crawl’

Formed back in 2014 when Shaun Blackwell and Clare McNamara arrived in London from New Zealand and met drummer Niall Kavanagh, Night Shades released their Evil Dreams EP in October last year, and have now treated us to an epically eerie live video.

Filmed at the EP’s Halloween launch party at The Shacklewell Arms, ‘Caveman Crawl’ is a raw, explosive blast of grunge-inspired rock ‘n’ roll. Fuelled by an angst-driven, seething energy and raging ferocity, it oozes an infectious, gritty power as slick riffs race alongside urgent, thrashing beats. A hauntingly alluring offering that leaves us excited for what this promising band have to offer in 2018.

If you too are seduced by the alluring darkness of Night Shades, check out their Evil Dreams EP at their Soundcloud page now.
