Track Of The Day: Rhye – ‘Song For You’

A beautiful, modest offering from this talented musical outfit, ‘Song for You’ is the latest single from RHYE. The track is lifted from their highly anticipated second album BLOOD, which is set for release on 2nd February via Caroline Records.

Speaking about the track, RHYE frontman Milosh explains: “‘Song for You’ was written for her. Listen to it in a way where it becomes your own. It holds a lot of emotion and occupies a special place both in my heart, and as the heart of this new album.”

March sees RHYE commence the European leg of their worldwide tour, starting in Paris on the 23rd and concluding at Denmark’s Northside Festival, including two dates at London’s KOKO and Heaven on the 3rd and 4th of April. Tickets for all dates are available now.

Track Of The Day: Talking Violet – ‘Aspen’

Having only formed early last year as an acoustic project, Canadian band Talking Violet are now ready to share their debut single.

Filled with an ethereal, scuzzy haze, ‘Aspen’ is an utterly dreamy slice of ambient shoegaze. As a gentle, swirling whirr soon builds to a raw, frenzied cacophony, it’s an effervescent treat for the ears; like a wonderful sonic fusion between Best Coast and Deftones.

Of the track, singer/guitarist Jill Goyeau comments:

” (it’s) a song that emcompasses who we are as a band, becaude it has a blend of both softness and heavyness to it. The song sums up how we tend to use sonic juxtaposition in our songwriting.”

Round Dreams, the debut EP from Talking Violet, is released 2nd February.

Track Of The Day: EMA – ‘Dark Shadows’

EMA – aka Erika M. Anderson – returns to Europe next week to tour with Depeche Mode, but before she shares the stage with the iconic 80s band, she’s found time to share her new single from her upcoming EP, Outtakes From Exile, set for release on 2nd February via City Slang.

‘Dark Shadows’ is a blend of hazy vocals, sharply produced beats and opulent electronics, inspired by the film 20th Century Women. “I wrote ‘Dark Shadows’ for the film,” EMA explains. “I was intrigued by the premise — badass women living in 1970s Santa Barbara getting into punk. That’s all I knew! I wrote the song with that in mind. I think of it as a survivor song, someone leaving a dark past behind, emerging again into the world. Whoever it is, they’re definitely wearing sunglasses.”

Sitting comfortably in what she calls “The Outer Ring” of society – the zone between the country and the city, both literally and figuratively – EMA’s sound oozes an unease and intensity inspired by “material that speaks truth to power.” Rather than agonise, she organises synths and vocals to express her resistance against poverty and inequality – all whilst wearing those super cool shades she mentions.

Listen to ‘Dark Shadows’ below and follow EMA on Facebook for more updates.

Track Of The Day: Shopping – ‘Wild Child’

Here at Get In Her Ears, we’re big fans of all Rachel Aggs does. Trash Kit wowed us with their unique charisma and charm when they played for us at The Finsbury last year, and Sacred Paws’ Strike A Match made our list of ‘Albums Of The Year 2017‘. And so it’s with excitement that we welcome the return of Shopping; following 2013’s Consumer Complaints, they’re back with a brand new LP later this month.

Taken from the album is latest single ‘Wild Child’. Propelled by Billy Easter’s buoyant bass lines and a joyous, colourful groove, the track is filled with ’80s inspired funk-fuelled synth hooks and a sparkly, uptempo spirit. An utterly infectious slice of dance-punk, ‘Wild Child’ provides the vibrant energy you need to see you through the long, dark haul of January.

Of the track, Rachel Aggs explains:

“It’s about projecting the persona of someone who is always free, always partying and you can’t imagine them ever worrying about their work rota or buying cereal… It’s important to see through it, to know it’s fake but at the same time, it’s so intriguing and seductive. I think this anarchic, flamboyant spirit is really important to queer culture.”

The Official Body, the Edwyn Collins-produced upcoming album from Shopping, is out 19th January.
