Successfully balancing hard-rocking passion and hook-ready approachability, Newborn Fossil is a stirring new EP from Marcus: the Apex Predator!. The Detroit-based indie/post-hardcore act was formed in 2015, and is led by guitarist/vocalist/songwriter Kevin Watts. Joining him on the EP are drummer Nick Marko (also his bandmate in Float Here Forever) and bassist Sean Bondareff (Kind Beast). The EP’s title track opens with invigorating immersion, building from fuzzy guitar briskness into an infectious fervency. “Yes, in the springtime air,” a fierce vocal prowess lets out, traversing enjoyably into the central hook: “I’m standing beside myself, sizing up / This newborn fossil,
“The Girls in the Movies” is an affecting new track from Seattle-based singer/songwriter Laura Dawn. “I’m in hell when I’m without you,” an emotive vocal yearning exudes, set amidst moody acoustic strums, steady percussion, and lush piano interweaving. The initial portrayals of isolation combine with depictions of self-destruction, inspired by the media’s tendency to romanticize reckless lifestyles. “I wrote this for all my dead friends and how the lifestyle we use to idolize ended up killing some of us,” Laura Dawn explains. — This and other tracks featured this month can be streamed on the updating Obscure Sound’s ‘Emerging Singles’
A dynamic, atmospheric electronic success from Uncanny Valet, “Nonlin” navigates through both neon-lit dreaminess and effervescent passion. The track marks another success from the New York-based music project of writer, publisher, and musician David Byron Queen. Last year’s debut album Silo firmly caught our ears with its gripping soundscapes and quality songwriting/production, and “Nonlin” continues the quality. The second single from Uncanny Valet’s upcoming album Almost Island, out on March 14th, “Nonlin” builds with a climactic artfulness. Concise synth stabs, spacey tones, and wordless vocal effects build beautifully across a patiently unfolding first half. Spritzy synth swells excite thereafter, settling
“Electric Fratboy” is a stirring track from Psych-O-Positive, who caught our ears last year with the gripping “Lipstick.” The band once again strut an artful rock charisma, intertwining debonair vocal dreaminess and ardent shout-y invigoration. The “daddy’s got…” softness and “fratboy!” exultation interchange cohesively during the catching central hook, traversed to enjoyably by a range of twangy guitar tones and thumping rhythmic hypnotics. The production excels in its critiques of nepotism, wealth, and consequences — warning of privilege and self-destruction through snarling punk energy. — This and other tracks featured this month can be streamed on the updating Obscure Sound’s
