With Lost four months old and a handful of dates together with Pile kicking off early next month, Life In Vacuum are set to release “Lately,” the first in a string of Lost b-sides. “Lately” touches on the band’s most caustic side, the heavy riff and the skronky density of the rhythm balance between a pop sheen and bouncy sludge.
On Wicked Jaw , Christina Schneider’s most recent bundle of pop songs under the moniker Locate S,1, the artist tows the line between blissed-out bubblegum and biting, lightly psychedelic social commentary in delightfully subtle ways. The record ultimately excels at surveying genre on its own terms.
Moving with a syrupy and laconic grace, Helenor careen through pop hooks and captivating melodies to blown out fuzz and lush arrangements. There’s a lot to take in, but never at the expense of Dave DiAngelis' poetic songwriting at the core. Their latest single “Warm Ways” gets a great new video, animated by Jack Quinn.
