Beverly – Honey Do (Stream)

Honey Do

Frankie Rose has been making music that makes people pay attention for a while now and her latest project, a duo group with Drew Citron called Beverly, is no exception. In fact, Rose hasn’t sounded this impassioned since Interstellar. Riding a dark-hued noir-scape for all its worth, “Honey Do” effortlessly evokes decades worth of genre evolution. Lately, there’s been a growing number of acts who are able to articulately pinpoint the exact center of the triangular pillar points made up of new wave, no wave, and shoegaze. Add Beverly to that list. Immediately. “Honey Do” floats by for a sublime three minutes, landing virtually all of its punches for a knockout performance. Every element that Beverly introduces in “Honey Do” is used to its fullest potential, from the twinkling riffs that offer a moment of reprieve from the atmospheric darkness to the surging distortion that restores it. Chekhov would be proud.

“Honey Do” will be on both Beverly’s upcoming debut, projected for a summer release, and on Kanine Records’ RSD Comp, out April 19th. Hear “Honey Do” below.

Bleeding Rainbow – Tell Me (Stream)

Bleeding Rainbow have slowly been leaking songs out from their forthcoming Kanine Records full-length, Interrupt. With each successive track they’ve revealed, the anticipation for Interrupt has risen in incremental accordance. “Tell Me” is the best of the lot thus far, which is actually saying quite a bit considering “Images” and “So You Know” have been two of 2014’s strongest tracks in its early goings. “Tell Me” plays up the bands sugary powerpop bombast to the fullest effect imaginable, letting razor sharp riffing cut the melody to shreds. For an exhilarating three-and-a-half minutes, Bleeding Rainbow conjure up a battle ground where every musical aspect seems to be fighting for an upper hand but held together for the sake of creating a scorched whole. If all of 2014 winds up being as good as Bleeding Rainbow make it seem like it might, then it’s going to be a hell of a year. Listen to “Tell Me” below.
