New Music This Week

It has been sooo long since we have posted. This week I was inspired by some great albums that came in.

The one I want to gush over is the Limited Release EP by Bear Cub.

This band consists of pop-punk vocals and folk-y instrumentation. If someone were to say that to me, I would ask “How does that work?” but it does. The lyrics are full of emotion, and every song tells a story. I have never heard such a strong fulfillment of every musical criterion. I tend to look for melodic vocals/instrumentation and interesting lyrics, and Bear Cub goes above and beyond. I can’t describe how well the songs penetrate an audience’s awareness. You immediately feel the lyrics. I’ve seriously listened to this album three entire times. I enjoy the song “Central Time,” track 6 on this EP.

Another CD that caught my ear is It’s a Corporate World by Dale Earnhardt Jr. Jr.

They sound kind of old school indie. I liked the first track, “Morning Thought.” The music is kinda slow, but the entire album is pretty good.

Cults - Cults.

Another nostalgic sound, but more than with Dale Earnhardt Jr. Jr. The female vocalist is versatile in her singing style throughout the different tracks. I love the upbeat and diverse nature of this album. I would suggest “Never Heal Myself.”

I think that’s all I have in me for now. I hope that you get a lot out of these albums.

Until next time!
