Now Listening: This Week's Tracks
Wet Wilson - “3rd Wheeled”
With an introduction of memories and a melancholic guitar tune, “3rd Wheeled” is meant to be played over and over as you process all the feelings after listening. The track starts off with a slow and gutting feel to it before jumping into a more uptempo sound with a slight groove to it.
“3rd Wheeler” filters through the feeling of being a third wheel — all the odd notes of it and the feeling of being a part of something while not being a part of something. Wet Wilson is a master of conveying specific feelings through sound and that’s something you experience with this track. There is so much going on with smoothness all around that you don’t even realize it’s the same song.
If you haven’t heard of Wet Wilson, now is the time to get on that train because everything about this track is perfect for those who feel too much and say too little.
Wash Park - “Why Do I?”
In this indie pop gem of a song, Wash Park deliver their new single “Why Do I?”. Wash Park , which consists of individual member Keaton Dean, brings forth this animated, cute, and charming new track that you can put on constant loop and never get tired of. This song was written, produced, and recorded by Dean himself who was also the mastermind behind the lively music video which draws inspiration from Wes Anderson’s beloved film Moonrise Kingdom. The visuals follow the lyrics perfectly, telling the story of not understanding why one must keep trying with love, but it all makes sense once they meet that special someone, too engrossed to care about the outside world because they are your world!
adam brian paul - “Already Know”
Adam Brian Paul is back with a brand new track, “Already Know”! Indie pop artist Paul’s new song is an almost 4 minute experience. With the calming guitar, soft drums, and dreamlike vocals, Paul takes the listener into a journey of emotions. The likes of his tracks speak upon realizing the truth behind yourself. In life there is no reason to rush, and with this song Paul makes it evident that when it comes to figuring out who you want to be in life or the individuals you want in your life comes in waves. One day you know everything and the next you don't, but his honest lyricism comforts the listener into understanding that it's okay.
Soft Powder - “Close Your Eyes”
Soft Powder’s new track, “Close Your Eyes,” is the perfect track for late nights in the Spring while getting reintroduced to the feeling of warmth and hopefulness.
With elements from genres like shoegaze, dream pop and melancholic pop — “Close Your Eyes” glitters around you while listening. It’s a track you can feel in your fingers and in your chest.
The track is meant to draw you into its atmosphere, where your mind can wander and experience feelings like euphoria and release. “Close Your Eyes” focuses on tension and uncertainty — wrapping it all into a song that lets all of it out in a stream of relief.
Battle Ave - “I Saw The Egg”
Handling the sonic waves “I Saw The Egg” is the centerpiece for the anticipated album by Battle Ave. The ingenuity of this song was inspired by the pivotal song “Hoodwink’d” by LVL UP which propelled frontman Jesse Doherty to write this eccentric song. When recording the self titled EP they decided to arrange it remotely, with this gave the sense of uncertainty of not knowing what each member will bring to the table. However, against the challenges of remote recording the band made it look like they weren’t phased by it at all. For their first release in six years, a lot has changed but they are still keeping true to their sound as they manuvered through parenting, graduate school, new members, and the cancer diagnosis of their drummer Samantha Niss. Battle Ave is ready for their long awaited return with a ear pleasing album that picks up right where they left off.
Keegan Powell - “In Kincardine”
“In Kincardine” is a dreamy track that flows through you like a smooth breeze. Toronto-based artist, Keegan Powell, releases his new track, “In Kincardine,” named after a beach town in Toronto. He says, ““I wanted to capture the mood I was in when the song came to me, guitar in hand: a quiet summer night with all the stars to see, sitting around a fire, nowhere to go, nowhere to be. To just be.”
And that’s exactly how you feel when you listen to this song. It’s meant for a warm night with memories lingering all around you. The instrumentals dance around and the vocal tone is airy with hints of hope and nostalgia.
“In Kincardine” will be a staple track for your warmer months playlists.
Matilda Cole - “Bite Down”
Matilda Cole, “Bite Down” is a track you’ll be singing over and over again. The tracks instrumentals are grabbing — full of sweetness and hope with an energetic feel that still feels like a come down. Cole’s vocals only add into the sweetness and hope by having a tone that you can tell what she’s singing about means a lot in her heart.
The Brighton-based singer songwriter is releasing her EP The High Dive saying, “The High Dive is the culmination of the things I’ve learnt in my last year of teenage hood. It’s the jumping off point for the rest of my life, and each song sort of represents a lesson I’ve learnt from, that I want to leave behind. I feel like a different person now, and this EP details that transition.”
With a taste of the EP with her track “Bite Down,” we’re excited to hear what she has in store for us.
