New Music Fridays – 14th May 2021

May 14, 2021 by Jamie Parmenter

The Slim Kings

We’ve got five fantastic tracks for you on this week’s New Music Fridays to see you through the weekend and beyond! From bluesy rock to alt-pop to warm and flowing soul, each one has a different vibe for you to wrap your ears around. Click the pics for a listen.

The Slim Kings – Raw

The Slim Kings

Brooklyn-based ‘rock n soul’ outfit The Slim Kings hit home in a warm and delightful way with the bluesy flow of Raw. Singer and guitarist Michael Sackler-Berner’s vocals slide lovingly over the subtle flows and settled drums that erupt into a chorus of trumpets, layered vocals, and good times. An addictively brilliant track that should be on your playlist for a long time.

Sweethearts – never liked you anyway (little olive)

sweethearts

At the forefront of the 90s revival sound, Sweethearts track never liked you anyway has been re-recorded here as a dreamy slow-burner against an ethereal organ-scape and addictive flows. Reminding of bands such as Semisonic but with a lighter touch, the chorus really hits home when the male and female harmonies warm the soul and release a hypnotising energy that is impossible to resist. 

Ida Mae – Little Liars

Ida Mae

Delving into elegant, blues-tinged melodies, guitar and drums saunter forward as the seductive vocals take their time to build towards a subtle yet addictive chorus. With an essence of The Kills but a more enticing flow, the track doesn’t need to do anything special to pull you in, instead content to just take its time to plant a seed in your mind. A well-written track that never gets old.

Dark Dazey – Blue

Dark Dazey

LA-based psyche rock band Dark Dazey really show you what they’re all about with track, Blue. About staying centered in life and love, the track takes you on a melancholy journey of sonically pastoral rhythms and psychedelic textures. Reminding of warm summer days and heavy feelings, the track builds toward a tantalising chorus that comes out of its shell in the most wonderful way. A beautiful reminder of just how inviting music can be.

Madeline Rosene – Blew

Madeline Rosene

Alt-pop singer Madeline Rosene impressed us immensely with track Blew, combining subtle flows, RnB infusions and sultry vocals to create a track that feels heavy yet raw. Dante Juhkel features later on for a perfectly situated rap section, bringing in bright yet settled flows that fit over the lofi-pop sound well. It’s a mesmerising track that will raise a smile on your face without you knowing.
