Galactic Twin – “Just Another Day Behind the Sun”
-I can’t help but smile when I click play on this song. It has a joyfulness to it that resonates on each listen. The beat moves along nicely with a staccato element that makes it really pop. The lush quality in the background and the lead vocal connects well. The combination of the pointed rhythm and the melodic production style makes for an intriguing, even inviting soundscape. I don’t have a good comp band for this one; I enjoy the unexpected turns that keep it interesting from start to finish.
The Barker Brothers – “Awake in the Forest”
-I love a good syncopated beat at the heart of a pop rock tune. The way the Barker Brothers bring in those great fraternal harmonies with an excellent groove really makes this song stand out. When I covered them recently, I discussed how much they sound like the Avett Brothers. Here, though, they have a bit more of a style akin to Michael McDonald and 70s poppy rock stylings. There’s a vibe to this song that feels fun and free, all while having some rather serious reflective lyrics. Give it a spin and I bet you’ll get moving right where you are.
Greenhouse Hum – “Wholly Grounded”
-With a bassline that would make Adam Neely proud, Greenhouse Hum bring a fantastic timeless sound on “Wholly Grounded.” There are elements of 70s, 80s, and 90s pop in this one, so it feels like a genuine sonic adventure. The bass wins the show, but the vocals are solid as well. The lyrical theme has a spiritual element to it, with a focus on being grounded. “This life isn’t long enough to stress.” If you’ve experienced any of the new age healing and energy work that is prevalent in the 21st century, this music will resonate. I definitely feel the vibes from the melodic structure and mood of this engaging new track.
