The New York band's new album,
Moon Mirror, "represents a step forward for the band, with lush layered vocals and more melodic arrangements than on previous efforts,"
writes No Depression. "Lyrically, it’s familiar, with frontman Matthew Caws delivering the same literate musical poetry that has made the band popular for three decades."
Danielle and Drew McTaggart and their band call this song "probably the most important track to us" on their just-released album,
Lonesome High. It was inspired by the couple's struggle with infertility and the eventual birth of their son. But the lyric is more universal, about not giving up in the face of adversity: "I believe nothing is a waste / Don't go and throw it all away."
Valley: Let It Rain
On their latest album,
Water the Flowers, Pray for a Garden, the Toronto group seems to be coming to grips with the fleeting nature of youth. Frontman Rob Laska says this song deals with "acceptance of growing old and learning to be ok with that." But he adds: "The whole album but specifically ‘Let It Rain,’ feels like us just playing a song in a room together like we did when we were teenagers."
The Los Angeles electro-pop duo that Rolling Stone calls "wonderfully strange" recently released its sophomore album,
Imaginal Disk. Stereogum writes that this track "feels both futuristic and nostalgic. It begins as a mellower, vaporwave-meets-pop diva jam, until a delightfully blown-out bass crashes into the final chorus." The accompanying video has singer Mica Tenenbaum about to get a "brand-new image" installed via a disk drive in her forehead.
The band from Bristol, UK, says this song is about risky and addictive behavior - "about dancing with danger. There are times in life when you give into temptation. You know you shouldn’t do it, but you do it anyway.”
