Now Listening: This Week's Tracks
honeywhip - โlike iceโ
Comforting and cheery, honeywhip's latest single โLike Iceโ is a song to remember. The message of the song is beautifully optimistic and hopeful, revolving around the process of moving through pain and past trauma through community and ritual, and finding new reasons to live. The message is undoubtedly one that resonates with most, especially in a time like this, riddled with fear and uncertainty.
honeywhip first started making music in Tokyo, and are now based in Los Angeles. Their stunning new track โLike Iceโ follows the release of other tunes such as โFeels Good To Laughโ and โso obvious.โ
JAWNY - โSabotageโ
Rising star JAWNY releases new single, โSabotage,โ a funk rock indie song that youโll immediately add to your playlists. The Los Angeles based singer/songwriter has an upcoming project, For Abby, thatโll be released later this year and if we observe the previous hits heโs made like โHoneypie,โ this project will be one to be excited for. โSabotageโ showcases the unique personality that's projected into JAWNYโs music, full of life and energy. The song starts off with a phone call like voice recording and a small piano melody before transitioning into guitar tunes and JAWNYโs hyper vocals singing about romantic destruction in a self aware humorous way that he made a song about it. JAWNYโs music is like a treat on a special day and thatโs why each song he releases gets mass love.
I DONโT KNOW HOW BUT THEY FOUND ME - โLeave Me Aloneโ
Dallon Weekesโ new project I DONโT KNOW HOW BUT THEY FOUND ME (iDKHOW) releases their new single, โLeave Me Alone,โ a song that makes us feel like heโs teasing us on his new debut album, Razzmatazz, coming out on October 16. Giving us funk and David-Bowie-like bass lines, โLeave Me Aloneโ combines chaotic goodness with swift and happy rhythm. Weekes spirited vocals sing, โNow I want you to leave me alone,โ something that's found to be said a lot in toxic situations, Weekes mentions. Youโll either want to dance your heart out to this song or scream it into the void, thereโs no in between but youโll feel a lot better after listening and a lot more excited to see what iDKHOW has for us.
Denuo - โHelen, Noโ
A dreamy indie-pop single from Denuo aka Welsh multi-instrumentalist Tom Mason, โHelen, Noโ conjures up a vivid imagery through its beautiful lyrics and heavenly vocals. Inspired by synth-heavy bands such as Phoenix and Mew, in addition to the sound of the indie scene in Japan, โHelen, Noโ manages to be playful and striking at the same time. The track's lyrics focus on the bittersweet feeling of infatuation and denial within a relationship that is ultimately doomed to fail.
Produced by Russ Hayes and with featuring vocals from โSophie Ballamy of fellow North Wales band Kidsmoke, the track undoubtedly expands the boundaries of Mason's music. With a new album coming up soon, it is certain that Mason is only growing bigger every day.
