If It's Too Loud...

Photo by Eleanor Petry Telehealth have one of those sounds that's both retro and familiar. Their latest single, "Donor Country (A gOoD cAuSe)," is an amped up and modern version of New Wave and post-punk. It's jerky, and danceable in the way that only that style of music can be. With this one, I'm hearing a mixture of DEVO and Snapped Ankles. It's a fun and high energy synth fest, and it will be impossible to listen without a smile on your face.

Photo by Collin Bunting Chicago's Doom Flower have released a single that is both anti-folk and dream pop. "Telehealth" is a beautiful song that isn't always pleasant to listen to.

The song has an almost jazzy/hip hop beat to it, with an acoustic guitar slide being used for sound as much, if not more, than actual guitar chords.

Limestone Ritual is due out January 6 on Record Label. The album can be pre-ordered here . For more on Doom Flower, check out the band's website .
