As much as we love vintage sounding soul in the current neo-soul movement, sometimes it's refreshing to hear a band put a new spin on the classic sound. Enter Brainstory with their psych-soul sound. The Los Angeles trio have released a new single, "Hanging On." It has that laid back and smooth sound that all the best soul does, but Brainstory adds this odd little psychedelic element along with just a little grit to the song to make it sound truly unique. There is also an interesting level of distortion in "Hanging On," which I don't think I've ever heard in soul before. This is still classic sounding soul, just with an interesting twist.
You can watch the video for "Hanging On" below. Sounds Good is due out April 19 on Big Crown Records, and is available for pre-order here. For more on Brainstory, check out the band's website. Upcoming tour dates are below the video.
