Electronic artists Eve Maret and Dream Chambers kick off tour at The Cobra on 01.25

Posted on:

Electronic artists Eve Maret and Jess Chambers (aka Dream Chambers) are taking their latest synth-crafted tunes on the road, kicking things off with a show at The Cobra on January 25th. Maret and Chambers recently co-founded Hyasynth House, the Nashville-based electronic music collective for femme, trans, and non-binary artists. Their efforts have provided a place for musicians around the city to connect, share their work, and collaborate. And while their good work has taken up quite a bit of time, Maret and Chambers are taking a week to travel around the southeastern states, share their newest music, and spread word about their work. At their kickoff show at The Cobra, Maret and Chambers will share the bill with EDM artist and recent expat from the Bay Area, Stacian, as well as the funk-tinged songs of Soft Bodies. As always, Hyasynth House won’t tolerate any harrassment of any kind at the show, so if you go on Friday night and feel unsafe, let them know. Take a listen to Eve’s latest album No More Running, as well as Dream Chambers’ latest album White Roses, below. – Will Sisskind

New Music Video: “Tempted By The Void” – Cousin Brian

Posted on:

With the caveat of "still dead just keeping you updated on the new demos," former snotty punks Cousin Brian recently shared another new sampling of their latest sound. With an accompanying, bathed-in-neon-cosmic glow, "Tempted By The Void" floats into a psych- jangle headspace. Consumed by the combination of soft strums, synth, and reverberating vocals, one is set adrift into the ethereal. Let’s find these guys a drummer, and make this transformation complete.

Brower’s glam rock is both classic and contemporary, plays The Gutter 1.24

Posted on:

Buzzsaws, the latest release by Brooklyn-based glam rock multi-instrumentalist Nat Brower, is an album soaked in acid and brimming with classic panache. From record opener “Real Girl” and its syncopated, raucous guitar work interwoven with tight percussive builds, Brower cultivates soundscapes reminiscent of The Kinks and The Stooges, channeling them through a DIY framework in terms of production. This gives the entirety of Buzzsaws a feeling that is both vintage and contemporary, an album built upon polished instrumentalism that is still raw, rock and roll to its core – a perfect blend of the genre’s old and new characteristics that is instantly jammable.

Brower will bring his classic-yet-contemporary soundscapes to The Gutter on January 24th, alongside The Glitch, Huh, and HARMS. Stream 2018’s Buzzsaws below. -Connor Beckett McInerney (@b_ck_tt)

A Deli Premiere: new electro-pop single from Sunspeaker, plays Gold Sounds 2.2

Posted on:

After his intriguing debut two months ago, Brooklyn-based songwriter/producer Sunspeaker has quickly returned with his second electro-pop single, “Under the Gun,” premiering right here. The track evokes dreamy, disco-like vibes, conjuring up images of a pulsating slo-mo dance-floor. Each facet of this song is packed with slow-burning heat; from the beat’s smooth, sensual feel to the impassioned lyrics, Sunspeaker was able to balance lyrical intensity with groove. Unlike the vocal flexibility heard debut single “I Will Not Love You,” the vocals in this new track tread steadily over a clean yet busy blend of sounds, allowing the production skills of this solo artist to shine. Sunspeaker will be headlining a show at Gold Sounds on Feb 2, catch him playing “Under the Gun” (below) live and stream his debut singles on Soundcloud or Spotify. – Rebecca Carroll

Scissormen front man Ted Drozdowski releases new LP “Coyote Motel” on 01.25

Posted on:

For those Nashville music aficionados who know Scissormen, you will love knowing that the touring band’s front man Ted Drozdowski has ten new songs in the form of the crowdfunded record Coyote Motel, his latest solo work unleashed for your ears as of January 25th. The album marks Drozdowski’s embracing of a musical style he calls "cosmic roots", which he says come from eclectic influences such as Muddy Waters, Pink Floyd, and and Daniel Lanois. You hear elements of those artists in songs like "Still Among The Living", where a slow beat churning with wandering guitars and rumbling bass arpeggios carries Drozdowski’s haunting lyrics toward your memory. Drozdowski will perform tracks like "Still Among The Living" from Coyote Motel at The 5 Spot during the album’s release party on February 16th; you can watch the music video for the song — which features aerial dancing from Nashville’s own Suspended Gravity Circus — below. – Will Sisskind
