The intricately constructed style of The Beach Boys baroque pop of “Winter Snow” succeeds on its inventive, nearly cinema-like, use of melodic tension and dynamic mood. Part of a Double A-side release (w/ “Elephant”), Beard to Beast’s “Winter Snow” will see a release on January 13th via MUK Records.

The instrumentally spare but melodically quite accomplished “Petrified”, a new demo from London-based Misty Miller, is a track with its actual genesis in the songwriter’s early teens. Miller recalled recently re-discovering the song, “”I wrote this song when I was 15, but never recorded it and rarely played it live. In the past year I found it became relevant to my life again. So I worked on it, and what was once simply a song about a 15 year old girl afraid to meet up with a guy has now matured into complexity.” Misty Miller’s currently at work on an album which will be out sometime next year.
