Red is the New Black track review

Year : 2016
Genre : Psychedelic Rock with a Doom tint
Origin : United States

"Red is the New Black" is a particularly strong, invasive psychedelic track with a definitive doom tint to it. A somber, massive declaration that has come to me through a review order placed with no additional information attached. "Red is the New Black", and that is that, no band name, no nothing, review it please.

The music itself is situated at the middle of an optimum intersection where the timeless rules - hah - of psychedelia and current production standards meet. The hefty, supra-old school intro guitar jumps you from the speakers like Magilla Gorilla on an otherwisely desolated island, and the ensuing sonic anatomy quickly reveals a type of devotion rendered directly unto the monolithic altars of ironically sly and sinister moods and sentiments, revolving primarily around money. Oh well, money does not make you happy, but it won't make you unhappy, either.

The track bravely explores brisk avenues along bluesy building blocks, while its constant focus/intention remains to ritually kamikaze into the bowels of good old fashioned blight, a dark, dangerous and deliberately heartless territory, which is revealed with picture perfect accuracy through exquisite chord choices and tempo alterations. During these segments, the incomprehensibly uplifting-, nihillistic indifference of Dark Souls - yes, the video game - emerges, symbolic of the somber-, yet imperturbably unfuckwithable attitude that lurks beneath the music as a fueling force.

One can tell that a whole lot of love has been given during the making of this track, as the whole structure is an excellently varied expression of a well-placed curiosity cultivated towards the most delicious components of its very own anatomy. The song eloquently showcases the timeless nature of doom-tinted psychedelia, and you want it.

Astronauts of Antiquity - Future Back track review

Year : 2016
Genre : Dance / Melodic Pop
Origin : United States
Official site: > - here - <

"Future Back" is a fresh single by upcoming dance/melodic pop wizards "Astronauts of Antiquity". Composed by three key individuals, the ensemble's premiere focus is to sculpt out intoxicating, yet easily approachable soundbeds, flattered even further by a brand of lead vocals that are openly playful and tender, yet pack a punch friendly enough as to prevent the end result from falling to the other side of the horse in the expression process.

The song chooses to unfold rather super-efficiently, revealing a pleasant disco-pulsation with a whole lot of spots to park inventive-, yet not too obtruse ornaments in. The main attraction emerges as the optimum combo formed out of the imaginatively sentimentalist lyrics, supported by a type of vocal delivery that opens up quite comfortable interpretational fields to regard said/sung sentiments with both musical gratitude, and a poker face kept intact. Lead singer India does not mind releasing the timeless inner child, and the result is quite interesting, because his rigor at staying in tune is super-relentless, and even the relatively rampant pitch correction does a superb service to the track. Yes, such precedent is possible.

The music - minus vocals - is good in its own right, too, as it does not commit the mistake of reeking rigid remnants of over-production, managing to greet receptors as something that feels almost casual, while maintaining an almost exploitatve urge to progress invasively within the boundaries of the selected framework. The single is a definite success as a stimulator of interest in the trio's full lenght delivery, due to be unleashed on consensus in October.
