It’s so refreshing to hear something new, something creative. Glass Animals packs high intensity, high emotion, and broad dynamic range into records which transport the listener to another state of mind. I hope you have a good sub-woofer. Strap in. This one’s dark and powerful.
[new] Alfie Templeman – “Things I Thought Were Mine” (100bpm C♯min)
According to his bio, Alfie Templeman seems to know a thing or two about producing music. At only 17 years old, he’s managed to crank out an impressive, catchy ear-worm called “Things I Thought Were Mine.” It’s got a nice funky beat and a catchy melody. Promising product from this fella; looking forward to hearing more.
[new] OTR, Au/Ra – “Broken” (113bpm C♯min)
If you’d have told me this was a Calvin Harris record, I’d have believed you. The melancholy lyrics remind me a bit of his track “Sweet Nothing.”
[new] Sonny Fodera & King Henry ft. AlunaGeorge – “Before U” (125 bpm C♯min)
[fav] Brika – “Distracted” (136bpm A♯min) & “Gold” (135bpm C♯min)
[fav] Ásgeir – “King and Cross” (100bpm C♯min)
Ásgeir Trausti is from Iceland which means don’t bother trying to pronounce his name. In 2017, I visited France with my family. I heard this at a café in Maussane-les-Alpilles. Good stuff. The music video has ballerinas dancing with SWAT police officers in a metal fabrication plant. What more could you want?
