Gross Magic - "Sweetest Touch"

Now here's a song that for some reason reminds me of the 90's with it's raw and unpolished sound. It's like Beck meets Nirvana both in their prime years."Sweetest Touch" is actually very good lo-fi indie-pop song with some obvious grunge influences and haunting poppy vocals that is rather catchy. Other noticeable thing is the decision to go for a Ariel Pink kind of production which is to say cheap otherwise known as lo-fi. Well there's charm in that. This Brighton chap sure knows how to get noticed with his music which by the way is good.

Ето една песен, която по някаква причина ми напомня за '90-те с нейният суров и неподправен звук. Чисто музикално тя ми напомня на нещо средно между Бек и Нирвана в ранните им години. Иначе "Sweetest Touch" е доста добра lo-fi инди-поп песен с очевидни гръндж влияния и натрапчиви поп вокали, която е дори приятна. Друго не по-малко интересно нещо е начина, по който песента е реализирана, а именно издадена е в един доста първичен вид, без допълнителна обработка и мастериране, в което също има чар. Определено този младеж от Брайтън знае как да бъде забелязан чрез музиката си, която според мен е добра.

We are young, we are free
Keep our teeth nice and clean
See our friends, see the sights
Feel alright

Well today I accidentally stumbled upon a song which reminded me of the above few lines from Supergrass' "Alright". The song in question is "Days Of Youth" and it brought memories of summer and careless days. To be honest the whole demo which you can hear below is filled with the essence if youth and the feeling of freedom. These lads from England make music that fuses catchy pop tunes with some surf vibes and all that is complemented with some really good lo-fi post-rock noises. This is the kind of music that will make your summer experience well worth it.

Днес случайно попаднах на песен, която ми напомни за горните редове от песента на Supergrass "Alright". Въпросната песен е "Days Of Youth" и докато я слушах, в главата ми изплуваха спомени за лятото и безгрижните дни. Честно казано, струва ми се, че цялото демо, което можеш да чуеш по-долу, е пропито от духа на младостта и от чувство за свобода. Тези момчета от Англия правят доста приятна смесица от поп музика със сърф настроение и всичко това допълнено с доста добри lo-fi пост-рок звуци. Това е вида музика, който ще направи лятото ви незабравимо.

Wolf Feet

Here's one interesting English indie-pop/folk band that willingly or not sound kinda like The Drums minus the whole surf thing plus some synth elements. It sounds joyful and moments later it gets melancholy. There's like a very faint trace of The Smiths or The Pixies in Wolf Feet's music. Either way the band carved a very unique sound that one can hardly hear nowadays. And somehow I like it.

Ето еднa доста интересна инди-поп/фолк банда, която звучи доста като The Drums, но без сърфистките настроения, но със синт елементи. Звучи едновременно жизнерадостно и меланхолично и като че ли има едвам доловима следа от The Smiths или The Pixies в музиката на Wolf Feet. Бандата си е изградила един доста уникален звук, който трудно ще чуеш в днешно време. И някак си този звук ми харесва.

Assassins 88

Assassins 88 are a two-piece lo-fi indie noise punk band from Canberra, Australia. Please do not let this "88" confuse you as it has nothing to do with the nazi "88". I have to admit that it's been awhile since I've heard something similar. It's like No Age meets Lightning Bolt but in a very twisted way. Or maybe it's The Locust sonically infesting The Mae Shi. The truth is that these two aussies produce pure sonic chaos that it's in a way appealing with it's raw and dirty sound and screaming vocals. Add to that some really energetic performances and you get an idea what to expect from this two. The drummer literally kicks-ass. The first time I heard their music I felt like my ears were raped by this weird cacophony of various different sounds. But very quickly I realized that it takes time to appreciate such music. I can recommend "Girls Girls Girls" off their debut album with it's simple no-brain lyrics and distorted melodic sound. I can imagine this being played at a house party. Definitely not a music for everyone but might surprise many. Sonic mayhem!
