If It's Too Loud...

Photo by Ebru Yildiz "Acid Rain" is the latest single from A Place to Bury Strangers' upcoming rarities album. The noise rock veterans wrote and recorded this one back during the current President's first term, and it captures the chaos of that time (and the current one). The noise behind "Acid Rain" is almost too much at times, with a drum beat that fuzzes as much as it thuds.

Philadelphia DJ GorgoPap has a new single out before the release of her album next month, and this one might end up being our favorite on the album. "Acid Rain" is a fast paced and minimalist dance track. It's fast, but without the pounding beat you typically get with electronic dance music. You don't typically hear dance music this fast without an overwhelming beat, but GorgoPap is doing something truly unique and special with this upcoming album. This genre of music is usually either pounding music designed to make you move or chill music designed to make you think. "Acid Rain" is both. You can listen to "Acid Rain" below. Reach 4 the Stars is due out February 4, and is available for pre-order here . For more on GorgoPap, check out the artist on Bandcamp . Reach 4 The Stars by GorpoPap
