If It's Too Loud...

Photo by Rowan Allen Hailing from Dorset, England, Leeches have an upcoming singles collection. The latest from that collection, "Money," is a huge psychedelic rocker. The new song is huge guitars and riffs that just keep growing and growing in this grunge-laden swirl. It's an intense but fun song that hearkens back to the days when you could have songs that mix noise rock and pop hooks. The band explains the meaning of the song:  " It feels like half way through every month, without fail, we look in our bank accounts and there's nothing in it.  We have no idea where our money has gone and have absolutely nothing to show for it. Every month we tell ourselves that next month will be better, we'll start planning and saving but then in exactly 4 weeks time we're back in the exact same position. The circle of life ."

An ode to recycling doesn't sound like the basis of a great song, but it's 2019, so who even knows how the world works anymore, right? Hailing from Bristol, Gork's new song "That's Plastic Mate" is simply weird. It has the backbeat groove of post punk, but it's a noisy psychedelic song, that's also some form of pop. Imagine Frank Zappa partying with Ween and Gang of Four, and you might end up with "That's Plastic Mate." Guitarist/vocalist Ed Soles says of the song:  "Little Bruce lived a normal life, unaware of our plastic oceans. Some say he ate too much fish, who knows maybe he did. Either way, he is an Evian bottle now. 'Plastic' warns parents everywhere of the dangers of this translucent lifestyle. If you don’t want baby Sarah or chubby Paul to wake up as a bottle then you best praise the bins and praise the recycling. That's plastic mate."

If you're writing a press release trying to get our attention, it helps to state " Benjamin Spike Saunders  wants to do standup, but he’s too much of a coward. Instead, Benjamin decided to stick to what he knows: button collecting, making creepy dolls, and writing music in his room" and " ‘Tonsil Wife’ is his first ill-fated shot at stardom."  Now that our attention has been gotten, let's focus on the song "Delicate." Saunders nails the self-recorded bedroom genre perfectly. "Delicate" sounds like exactly what the title suggests. It's a quiet, heartfelt indie rock gem. While you're listening you feel like you're invading Saunders's privacy by how intimate it feels. What's great about modern recording is that it still sounds well produced. This is hardly the cassette recordings of our youth.  You can watch the video for "Delicate" below. Tonsil Wife , the upcoming release from Benjamin Spike Saunders, wi...
