Listen: Royal Blush - "Butterflies on the Grave" + "Cherry Cola"
Two recent singles from New Jersey-based band Royal Blush compel with melodic, heartfelt appeal — swelling from dreamy intrigue into a rousing alt-rock expanse on “Butterflies on the Grave,” while “Cherry Cola” a more glistening pop and rock synergy. They both come from the upcoming EP, A Ways Away. “Butterflies on the Grave” ventures from sporadic, lush guitars and haunting vocals. “In love with the sun, in love with the moon,” the magnetic vocals let out, sending chills upon the “looking back,” reflections.

Chicago-based artist Justin Sconza impresses on “Broken Glass,” amongst many highlights on his new album, Standards. Alongside a memorable production that melds a hazy psych-touched jangly rock appeal within a folk-ready disposition — shades of Elliott Smith crossed with Blur — the track succeeds in its introspective thematic allure. Sconza describes the release as “a meditation on resisting the pull of nostalgia and looking forward instead.” “Look over your shoulders,” Sconza’s vocals let out amidst pulsing guitar tones, building thereafter into a delightful title-touting hook where various vocal layers immerse with a lushly hypnotic daze. “Broken Glass” is exemplary of

“All I Wanted” is a wonderfully soaring track from Ruben Dumars, who melds glistening synth-pop and funky rhythmic pulses amidst contagious vocal hooks — one in particular yearning to get “higher and higher.” Flourishes of brass bolster the colorful, inviting sound — concluding with dazzling guitar work that lingers seamlessly alongside twinkling synths. From the initial rush of arp-y synths into a funky vigor to the concluding emotion, “All I Wanted” is a thorough success from Ruben Dumars, who recorded the release in Utah with Clint Holgate and Andrew Tolman (Imagine Dragons). — This and other tracks featured this month
Listen: Candytuft - "Wasp" -- Obscure Sound
A colorful, psychedelic rock success from Candytuft, “Wasp” represents a standout debut track from Asheville, NC-based project. A jumpy intrigue sets off the track, where wailing guitars hazy shimmers traverse into a wordless vocal daze. The harmonious “again,” vocal refrain is especially magnetic thereafter, injecting an organ-laden warmness amidst melodic guitar swipes. Elsewhere, a psych-folk guitar glistening rides past the two-minute mark, and into another segment with gorgeous backing vocal impacts. The track’s second half — with its “reap what you sow,” lush smoothness — plays with a more reflective calmness, enjoyably. “Wasp” is a fantastic output from Candytuft. —
New Album: Le Days - 'Are You Here?' -- Obscure Sound
Propelled by affecting piano and heartfelt strings, Are You Here? is a stirring new album from Swedish project Le Days, who also caught our ears in 2022 with the full-length Stuck In My Head. Continuing to tout the gripping songwriting of Daniel Hedin, his new album succeeds in its explorations of “the transformative feelings of identity, self-perception, shame and grief.” “Life” opens the release with a haunting chill, as delicate piano moves into a somber string-laden feeling.

A delightfully soulful vocal presence persists throughout, both through the initially understated verses and more expansive multi-vocal layering. The lyrical perspectives contemplate on a failed relationship, a theme that continues throughout much of Santos’ upcoming album. Tender guitar twangs and answer-seeking lyricism intertwine with compelling immersion. In the context of an unsuccessful relationship, the track’s lyrics reflect the emotional residue left behind — grappling with memories, unanswered questions, and the pain of
