Animals From Nick de la Hoyde Will Give You The Inner Strength You Need For 2019

22 May

Just in time for Summer, Sydney based Nick de la Hoyde released his latest song entitled Animals. Within the song, he has collaborated with ZU/ZU in producing his latest hit. The base tone of the song will make you think of traditional hymns as piano keys strike. Hoyde’s voice is strong and enchants listeners. With lyrics like “blue eyes like the open water”,”love cries, but it never forgets”, his writing spins visual metaphors that are out of this world. The song does have an undertone appreciation for Animals both in the wild and in our lives as well. Animals will come before his full tracked album A Beautiful Mess, set to release in June/July. Listeners will connect with his anthemic tone of singing as it is reminiscent of Foster The People, The 1975, and dashes of Shawn Mendes. While you cannot pin down exactly what his sound consists of, being exposed to a multi-cultural household with numerous global influences definitely showcases the textured mixture of the sound he has crafted that gives him instant identity.

Following Voyce Memos’s first single Division and latest release of Indifferent, Catching Me In Stride showcases the musical talents of Richard Borger, lead producer/audio engineer, drummer, Stephen Mokulis, and multi-instrumentalist/producer, Akash Gupta. Hailing from Houston, TX, what started off as a casual side project soon evolved into a strong cohesive band with an intentional sound. With different musical traits evolving from track to track on the album, one can get a sense of evolution on the album itself. The beginning of Catching Me In Stride starts off slow with reflective tracks and very organic in musical structure. As you get towards the middle of the album, a variety of riffs, vocal styles, and tone shifts into a different tone. When pulling references to draw similarities to in the music sphere, the bands that come to mind    include The 1975, Radiohead, and Phoenix. With a strong album that highlights the different sides to their sound throughout, listeners should mark down Voyce Memos as a band to watch for 2019.

Gideon King & City Blog Takes Listeners Through The Path of Their Musical Genius In Upscale Madhouse

24 Oct

Gideon King & City Blog’s newest album Upscale Madhouse has a wide variety of emotions through the songs that take listeners through different musical tones and scenarios. Their overall sounds will remind those who listen the mixture of artists Rufus Wainwright, Turin Brakes, Athlete, and The 1975. The band overall sets the musical standards high with a varied mix of arrangements from track to track. The beginning of the album starts off slow and constant and has a different tone to it than other parts. Jazz influences and the sounds of keyboard keys add a unique variance that seems lost in some music today. For Our Own Sake has a serene and easy listening vibe to it with strong vocals from Grace Weber that complement effortlessly. For those who are eager to listen, you’ll have to wait until March 2018. Their sound doesn’t disappoint and further continues the trend of the musical greatness that premiered in their album in 2015, entitled City Blog.
