Pop essentials and a little bit more

Truxton Mile – ‘California In My Mind’

July 1, 2019

Bakersfield California holds a special place in the hearts of country music fans. It was in Bakersfield that country music first collided with rock and roll – the city of Merle Haggard and the outlaw sound of Dwight Yoakam, among so many others. Bakersfield’s country music is raw, hard, and passionate; it’s country played with an electric guitar, with lovelorn lyrics and the sound of a swinging saloon door. Epitomising this sound comes Truxton Mile, who keep the Bakersfield flame alive with their new single, ‘California In My Mind’.

Carol C – ‘All My Love’

July 1, 2019

New York City artist Carol C’s music is a paradoxical mix of conflict, empowerment, and optimism. ‘All My Love’ is her first single from her debut solo album, ‘Seven’, co-written with producer Justin Filmer, of Liquid Agents.

Howlin’ Whale – ‘Rat’

July 1, 2019

When you hear a name like Howlin’ Whale you conjure up a mind picture of someone very distinctive; perhaps an old sea captain who sings about their life on the briny wave.

We touched on AV Super Sunshine’s latest release ‘Are You Happy?’ the other day, so this will be more about the video for the single.

We Premiere Jaco’s ‘Shoe’ – Taking Us Back To A Gentler Time

June 19, 2019

With a sound reminding us of the likes of Syd Barrett’s Pink Floyd, The Who, and even Jethro Tull, the psych folk/rock vibe of Birmingham Alabama artist Jaco’s song ‘Shoe’ takes us back to a time when things were a lot simpler, if in reality not too different politically. The song is from Jaco’s album, ‘You Know’, released today June 19 on Cornelius Chapel Records.

Zāna – ‘Nah’

June 17, 2019

The video for Zāna’s single, ‘Nah’ opens as it means to go on. A woman wearing high heeled shoes, emblazoned with a big cat on one, and the word ‘Nah’ in diamonds on the other, strides into a party – the heels sparking electricity as she goes. It’s the perfect representation of the sass, sultriness, and strength which come to mind when we think of Zāna.
