Hot Shot Kixxx – ‘Tadpoles’

April 24, 2020

Desert blues and left of centre experimental stuff, not to mention hints of regional Mexican, and dirty roots music underlay the sound of Hot Shot Kixxx, a rock band from El Paso, Texas. Their latest single, ‘Tadpoles’, from their album, ‘Devils At It Again’, will take the listener for a roller coaster ride of brilliance, and is a fine example of what else to expect on the record.

Lauren Calve – ‘Better Angels’ (Lyric Video)

April 24, 2020

Making a name for herself in the world of blues and Americana, Lauren Calve has a voice that at once will remind you of Patty Griffin, Bonnie Raitt, and even Ben Harper.

Howlin’ Whale – ‘Many Lives’

April 24, 2020

Harmonica player and vocalist Howlin’ Whale is not some briny sea captain, creating evocative shanties while enduring long and hard nights at sea. She is however one of the classiest players of the harp you’ll ever likely to come across, and with her instrument evokes the sounds of the wild: bird calls, frogs, insects, waves crashing – and trains. In her latest single, ‘Many Lives’, Howlin’ Whale takes us back to where she grew up, and brings to life the memory of the train echoing through the woods.

His latest single, ‘Whole Zaddy’ breaks down in its music video how “zaddy” differentiates from “dad” and “daddy”- taking the hypersexualisation of the term right up to 11. You’ve been warned!

Antherius- ‘Midnight Cowboy’

April 24, 2020

‘Midnight Cowboy’, by Antherius – the project of Texas based artist Tom Reynal – is an homage to the beautiful city which is right now hurting about as hard as it possibly could hurt because of the continuing COVID-19 crisis. Although not a New Yorker, Antherius nonetheless understands the New York story, and the video for his version of the theme song from the classic film of the same name features nothing but shots of the magnificent city. Not just a tribute, but a celebration of the central place New York City holds in the consciousness of not just the United States, but the whole world.

IHI – ‘Celebre’

April 24, 2020

It feels like recently we’ve written a lot about songs which talk about the current situation with the COVID-19 crisis. And fair enough, as musical artists write about their experiences, and this is one we are all experiencing. We are going to now cover another medically related song, but this time, it’s not about the present pandemic, but rather a crisis that affects all of us, cancer.
