Pretty Moi caught our attention with their new single Richard Parker.  An exciting energetic arrangement combines an array of stylistic realms and blends them elegantly.  Flashes of vintage psychedelic soul collide with new melodic inclinations known to indie rock. 

The retro blues guitar flash recalls The Black Keys while the exotic appeal bears a semblance to Khruangbhin.  The rhythm design and flute arrangement pulls more from experimental soul psychedelia, harkening back to founders like Hendrix and the intense arrangements heard on Electric Ladyland.  It’s a comparison we don’t get to make often, and we assure you it lives up to the hype.  Dig in! 

Richard Parker is featured on our Best New Indie Playlist.  

We got tangled in the catchy call and response rhythm design of Papier-Mâché, the new single from Close Talker.  This indie rock infused pop recalls the infectious appeal known to Spoon and Phoenix.  It’s absolutely danceable within a new indie rock framework.  Like the Footloose style soundtrack of our lives Close Talker challenges you to resist their urban pump and cool kid attitude.  We can’t imagine staying in our seat when this one hits the setlist. 

These Canadian rockers have real buzz potential and a vintage rock aesthetic, pushing their sound through the States via DIY tours with old school intentions.  Papier-Mâché should add some more Internet discoveries to the mix, it’s simply a great record for Close Talker to hang their hat on.

Kenny Sharp is classic catchy with his new single The Louvre.  The vibe adapts the nostalgia known to Motown and vintage soul and updates it with new sonic reverence. It’s an edgier response to the works of Silk Sonic. It blends a dirtier modern influence into that design, recalling the expansive works of Leon Bridgers, Frank Ocean, and The Alabama Shakes.  For us Kenny Sharp is a sure thing for fans of those projects.  That offers Sharp a broad scope of influence, one that can attract fans from the both the mainstream and the underground. 

You can’t deny the magnetic flash heard in the singles infectious chorus. The Louvre is a hit.  We’ve never heard a trip to an iconic art museum sound so exotic, and it amplifies Sharp’s unique insight.  A trip to The Louvre is absolutely romantic.

 We were drawn into the imaginative design of Dreamy Eyes, the new single from Imaginary Tricks.  An array of sparkling chimes and soft synths dance around the atmosphere as an eruptive beat breaks you out of your trance.  That initial drop is both energizing and captivating, bolstered by the crisp punchy tonal presence of the both the bass and drums.  From there the intrigue and surprise never lags. 

Dreamy Eyes delivers from start to finish.  From the guitar work to the production, every contribution adds to the collective creative shine.  This is the evolution we hoped to hear out of the influence of projects like Tame Impala and Kevin Morby.  Imaginary Tricks offer a new musicality that blends traits of Afrobeat and fusion.  We can dig it.

Hasta en la portada de este poderoso sencillo notamos la dimensión que tiene sobre cada una de sus notas y es que con la sofisticación de cada ritmo se vuelve una melodía y una obra de arte en toda la extensión de la palabra ya que a través de melódicos sonidos o voces masculinas pareciera que así suena el canto de los ángeles.

It’s been over a year since we’ve shared new music from American singer-songwriter Kenny Sharp, so it’s great to share more of his stuff here.

The Louvre is a poppy song, but it also has some retro elements, harking back to the classic days of the soul genre. Kenny’s vocals are very strong, crooning through the music with a great deal of soul and passion, stirring up emotions within the listener. The backing vocals add a cool gospel tinge to the song, creating more atmosphere on the chorus. The main instrumentation comes from a pretty piano melody in the background, bouncing along with the rhythm section perfectly. Find it here:

Washington-based singer-songwriter, Kenny Sharp, can’t wait to show us the museum-worthy being that he's lucky to call his. 

In “The Louvre”, Sharp shares places of awe from all corners of the world. But- nothing compares to the brown-eyed beauty that caught his eye.  As warm, echoed guitar intervals lead us into a steady drum beat, Sharp introduces the love that is best described by him as a “starry, starry night”. Still in disbelief, he is not afraid of the vulnerability that comes with a gladly captured heart.

In the pre-chorus, we are graced with a short moment of admiration. Sharp embodies the feeling you get when you witness something unquestionably breathtaking. Oh, to have someone see your beauty right up there next to The Mona Lisa … “Picture you up in the louvre,” Sharp recognizes classic elegance and is more than happy to admire it all. 

It is the kind of radiance that knows no bounds. Or as he describes it, “It don’t matter what you’re wearing / Check the mirror, you're the fairest one of all.” Out of all the wonders of the world, Sharp sees his girl in her own league of magnificence. 

After an intimate run of the chorus featuring Sharp’s soft vocals and comforting piano keys, the track ends on light notes of “ooh la la’s.” In a world of shallow messages, Sharp’s unique blend of soul, pop, blues, hip-hop & Americana is one to be welcomed, cherished and valued.
