The Dublin quartet that released its sophomore album
Dream Big in 2023 has popped out a couple of singles since, and just dropped this one with the promise of more to come this year. Vocalist and songwriter Faye O'Rourke says the song is "an anthem for people who love too easily, lose themselves too often, and mistake validation for love."
Horsegirl: Well I Know You're Shy
Three years after their debut album,
Versions of Modern Performance, and following a move from Chicago to New York, this group is out with its second LP,
Phonetics On and On. AllMusic writes that they've moved away from noise-rock, opted for "crisp, clean production helmed by Cate Le Bon." brought the vocals to the front of the mix and slowed their pace on many of the songs. Our pick for the New Music Bin is one of the peppier tracks on the album.
The duo's new album,
Plus One, opens with this "strutting, horns-punctuated country-soul" number (as
AllMusic calls it), cowritten by Miranda Lambert. The lyric describe a couple in a break-up-make-up cycle - or would that be a cycle of war-and-treaty?
From the new album
Forever comes this track that
Americana Highways calls "a mesmerizing, hypnotic, cigarette-dangling, fast-car-driving, blurry-warm-summer-night, convertible anthem." The album as a whole combines personal, self-reflective lyrics with a rough-edged alt-rock sound (including distorted vocals that get to be too much on some of its other tracks).
We picked up this Bristol, UK, trio's "Ember Mile" single a couple of months ago, and this latest track comes with word of a "longer body of material" (album? EP?) in the works. Vocalist/lyricist Oli Rainsford says the song is about "the technological age we found ourselves in today" and our addiction to screen time. (If you say so; frankly we can't make much sense of the lyrics.)
