If It's Too Loud...

We just wrote about Matilde Heckler last week when they opened for Razor Braids, but considering they just released a brand new single last Friday, you get to hear about them again. "Pretty" is the last from the Berklee graduate and electric violin player. It's a stunning song that leans into the world of alt-pop. It's a song about a rather unhealthy relationship, so as beautiful as it can be, it's a difficult listen. "Pretty" is just pure, raw emotion in the form of a violin heavy pop-rock song. Heckler has released a truly powerful song that a lot of people should hear. You can listen to "Pretty" below. For more on Matilde Heckler, check out the artist's website .

Razor Braids have been one of those bands I've enjoyed and have wanted to see them live since discovering their music last year. When I saw the Brooklyn quartet were playing The Rockwell, I wanted to go but was kind of on the fence. Once they announced Mint Green was opening, I immediately bought a ticket. Despite them being local and playing around a lot, seeing them just hadn't worked out yet. Turns out I made the right decision since I also got to discover the fantastic Matilde Heckler, too! Recent Berklee graduate Matilde Heckler opened the show with a short set. They played an electric violin shaped like a flying "v," and with their band played a great set of violin based indie rock/alt pop songs. I believe they only have two songs out to date (with a third due on Friday), so they're in the very early stages of a music career. But sometimes even this early on, you can just tell someone is going to be great someday. They also busted out a cover of Olivia Rodri...
