If It's Too Loud...

"Venus In Heat" dives even deeper into the 70's AM radio sound of her previous release. It's not quite a full on 70's throwback, though. This one keeps plenty of modern pop and dream pop intact. It's a modern take on a vintage torch song with just the slightest hints of country, making it a gorgeous melding of genres into something that sounds fresh and familiar at the same time. That's kind of Jennah Barry's entire thing, and what we're coming to adore about her music. Jennah Barry says of the new song: " This song is about the first few days of falling in love, when you feel great and terrible all at the same time." You can listen to "Venus In Heat" below. The song is available as a single via Bandcamp . For more on Jennah Barry, check out the artist's...

The end of the world is bringing its A game for new music right now. Artist : Nine Inch Nails Album : Ghosts V: Together / Ghosts VI: Locusts Quick Description : Two new surprise entries in the Nine Inch Nails Ghosts canon. Why You Should Listen : It's ambient industrial done right. Overall Thoughts : I was thinking today that if you told me back in high school that the guy behind The Downward Spiral would be one of the best movie scorers in his era and that his more ambient efforts would be the things I'd love the most, I don't know how I would react. But here we are, in 2020, and Nine Inch Nails has quietly become one of the most essential artists of our time and the two surprises this week really show what makes Trent Reznor so important. There's no reason to miss this one anyway, but it's definitely one of the great listens of the week. Recommendation : A must-listen in any week, never mind this one. Artist : The No Ones Album : The Great L...

Hailing from Nova Scotia, Jennah Barry's latest single is a dream-like genre mixing experiment. "The Real Moon" has elements of dream pop, 80's pop, jazz, and folk all mixed into one cohesive sound. It's both retro and modern sounding at the same time. All the pieces of the song seemlessly transition into each other and create a familiar and unique sound. "I was spending most of my time alone when I wrote ‘The Real Moon,'” says Barry. “The song is about the very modern problem of seeing too much of the world without actually leaving your house. It’s about experiencing the fragility of reality.” You can listen to "The Real Moon" below. The single is currently available via Bandcamp . Jennah Barry will be releasing a new album sometime in 2020. To make sure you know when that will be expected, check out her website . The Real Moon by Jennah Barry
