If It's Too Loud...

Photo by CG We've been pretty crazy about Odie Leigh's music, and the New Orleans singer-songwriter has fully blown us away with her latest. "Corner Store" is such a mash up of different styles that it should be a trainwreck, but Leigh pulls it off. The song is primarily an indie pop song, but with plenty of rock edge to it to keep it from being fully pop. There's also just the slightest hints of country twang along with anthemic 80's rock. And then Leigh's vocals are basically full on pop, making "Corner Store" an entirely engaging song. This kind of song is best when you can drop all expectations and ignore trying to define it. Just crank it up and enjoy the latest from Odie Leigh. Odie Leigh says of her latest single: “ If love is extending oneself for another, then buying a bag of chips can be a declaration. A plea for an ex lover to give up and give in, 'Corner Store' speaks the unspoken thoughts behind casual bids for connection.  T...

Photo by Kate Spansel It feels like it's been forever since we had new music from Odie Leigh, but the singer-songwriter is back with a new single. "Miss Leave Me Alone" is simply a killer alt-rock song. It's high energy with fuzzy guitars and catchy lyrics. It leans towards punk but is more punk adjacent (even though it's only two minutes long). It's an absurdly fun song that is geared towards bouncing around at a live show, and we're in luck since Leigh has live dates next month. "Miss Leave Me Alone" is very 90's influenced without sounding like a throwback. This is modern bubblegrunge at its finest. Odie Leigh says of her latest single: “ I’ve been having a horrible time. Forced into a hiatus, I found myself constantly face to face with every mistake I’ve ever made. ‘Miss Leave Me Alone’ is a reflection on the ego nursery that is the music industry, and how the qualities we praise can turn into problems we resent.” You can watch the video ...

Artist : The Bridge City Sinners Album : In the Age of Doubt Quick Thoughts : If the Squirrel Nut Zippers and Trampled By Turtles had a baby that fell in love with Murderfolk, they might turn out as The Bridge City Sinners. It's an angsty, catchy, rootsy listen with a lot of fun bits to go along with it on the whole. "Spears and Blades" is what truly won me over, but the whole thing feels like a new and fresh sound despite the common instrumentation and influences. Really great listen, especially in a relatively quiet week.

Hailing from New Orleans, Odie Leigh just signed with Mom+Pop and released her first song on the label. "No Doubt" is reminiscent of 90's era alt-rock meets singer-songwriter fare. It's an upbeat song that is undeniably catchy. It leans a little bit into folk territory, but just by a little bit. Leigh has an irresistible charm that just draws you in and refuses to let you go. And then the horn section comes in. If you haven't been fully won over by "No Doubt" at that point, you certainly will be. We're looking forward to hearing more from Odie Leigh sooner than later. You can watch the video for "No Doubt" below. The single is available now via Mom+Pop Music. For more on Odie Leigh, check out the artist's website .
