Get Lost In The Serenity of Mingaw From Optacure

2 Feb

Close your eyes and listen to the song Mingaw and be prepared for your heart to be full. With the enchanting acoustic guitar and the vocals of Edmund Gemelo Jr and Debb, its a beautiful combination. When thinking of bands that carry similar vibes, listeners can pick up on similarities with RF & Lili De La Mora and The Fruit Bats. The overtures are so grand that the song initially takes you to that of a small scale orchestra, and then it brings you back to a serene and tranquil place. Staying true to the name of Optacure, which means Optical Cure the sense of journeying for meaning and truth carries over in the music he creates as well. To comment on the remarkable origins of this piece not only honing in on the song being created across three countries, but that Edmund moved to Queensland Australia without having any connections. In addition to the original. sound and content, this is a true statement that its creation story started organically as well.

Thru The Vines By Jane In Space Gives You The Electro-Synth Track You’ve Been Waiting For

15 Jun

Thru The Vines By Jane In Space gives you all the electro-synth you could ever want from a band. With the mix of grunge and the electro-synths of guitars and reverbs, with a dash of a dinging triangle, this band creates their own musical atmosphere. Their sound is textured, and carries the elements of classic rock and heavy metal. When thinking of bands that have a similar sound, one will think of Mastodon, Aerosmith, and Kiss. Lyrics from their video touch on the grunge tones of heavy metal with dashes of melancholy greatness. Leading the way on bands that use the industrial sound in their music tones and moods, Jane in Space continues to pave their own way in a genre that is dominated by the greats like Nine Inch Nails and Ministry.

The Sparkling Black By Aura Blaze Channels The Feel Good Music of Space Rock

8 Jun

Aura Blaze’s album The Sparkling Black carries all the elements of space rock into 2019 with a cadence that is unreal. Set to release June 21 in the intentional timing around the beginning of the Summer Solstice, the brainchild of this operation Rhode Rachel has thought of everything. From the beginning of the album setting the foundation of their out of world sound and the story of their music space, it makes listeners think they are in an observatory museum with those audio headphones prepared to consume the facts and nuances of a world unknown. The middle of the album shifts around with the musical varieties and the heavy rock influence as well. It forces listeners to shift what they were listening to earlier in the album to adapt to the heavy, but almost orchestra  sort of rock. The perfect blend of new age and futuristic rock and the influences of classic rock make The Sparkling Black more than a masterpiece.
