Track Of The Day: NADINE – ‘Not My Kinda Movie’

Minneapolis/New York trio NADINE have now shared the second single from their forthcoming debut album.

‘Not My Kinda Movie’ has a dream-like, jazzy sound, the voice and instrumentation exploring all possibilities. However, the song is no lounge lizard – it seeks the meaning behind the nature of desire in a social-media obsessed world. “What comes to you twice as strong? What seeks you out and makes you feel? Tell me there is more to you than what you like.”

The song explores a lack of ‘real’ communication between people, demanding honesty (“Bring me the bad news”), before leaving us with a sense of the unknown as it drifts out in psychedelic tones. Nadia Hulett’s powerful vocals offer a strong perspective, while the instruments add another layer of interest and wonder to the listener, taking surprising twists and turns. If this song is a movie, it is artful, inspiring, and unaffected (no spoilers!). Expect the unexpected, with some warm colours on the palette.  

 

oh my, the debut album from NADINE, is due 26th January 2018 on Memphis Industries and Father/Daughter.

Track Of The Day: Breakfast Muff – ‘Clam’

If you’re looking for “a cacophony of anxiety, celebration and creativity” look no further than Glasgow’s Breakfast Muff. The band have shared their latest single ‘Clam’, accompanied by a Super-8-style new video that you can watch below.

Breakfast Muff consists of Eilidh McMillan (Rapid Tan, Joanna Gruesome), Simone Wilson (Hairband, Mary Column) and Cal Donnelly (Spinning Coin, Rapid Tan), who all switch between guitar, bass and drums to create their songs about “sexuality, feminism and feelings.”

“‘Clam’ is about someone who lashes out at other people because they are scared of being themselves or being exposed in some way,” explains McMillan. The track is featured on the band’s recent album Eurgh! (available now via Amour Foo) which was nominated for The Skinny’s Albums of the Year and was included in the Rough Trade Album Club.

Listen to ‘Clam’ below.

You can order a copy of Eurgh! here. Follow Breakfast Muff on Facebook for more updates.

Track Of The Day: H.Grimace – ‘Lipsyncer’

Having wowed us with their impeccable live performances at Green Man Festival and at our very own Finsbury night a couple of months back, and with the release of their innovative debut album Self Architect, H.Grimace have proved themselves to be one of the most exciting bands of 2017.

Taken from the album is new single ‘Lipsyncer’. Filled with the band’s raw post-punk sound and scuzzy, seething power, it builds to an intense, whirring climax as the deep, gritty vocals of Hannah Gledhill soar amid a dreamy, Sonic Youth-reminiscent haze.

Of the track’s meaning and reflection on contemporary issues such as social media, Gledhill explains:

” (it’s) about young men or women attempting to replicate something they aspire to be…”

Watch the brand new video for ‘Lipsyncer’ here:

Self Architect, the debut album from H.Grimace, is out now.

Track Of The Day: Worriers – ‘The Possibility’

Having been an accomplished musician for over a decade, Lauren Denitzio has recently relocated to Philadelphia and released the sophomore album from her band Worriers, Survival Pop – a rallying cry and celebration of overcoming “in the face of illness and loss, misogyny, homophobia and the patriarchy…”

Taken from the album is latest single ‘The Possibility’. A jangly, uplifting surf-pop offering, it oozes an empowering, buoyant energy and twinkling, sweeping harmonies. Reflecting on life’s hardships and surviving in the face of adversity, it juxtaposes catchy, sunny melodies with Denitzio’s raw vocals.

Filled with a vibrant punk-pop spirit and driving hooks, ‘The Possibility’ is the perfect enlivening anthem to get you through the dark days of winter –  a truly infectious slice of ‘survival pop’ if ever there was one.

Survival Pop, the latest album from Worriers, is out now.
