“Colors” is the follow-up to Mexico City Blondes’ break-out track “Fade”. Extracted from a varied DNA of 90’s indie (Mazzy Star, UNKLE are a few sounds we hear) to 60’s girl pop (think Dusty Springfield just found herself in a biker gang), the cinematic and vast “Colors” is another potential hit for the Santa Barbara CA band.

“I Feel Everything” is the excellent new single from San Francisco rock band WATERS. Power riffs and immediate hooks without sounding goofy or cliched, “I Feel Everything” is an effective jolt of rock and roll music that your preferred music playing device is likely missing. PLUS WATERS are playing our San Diego Music Thing kick-off show on Thursday with Zella Day. You can find more info on the SD show here. WATERS’ “It Might Be All OK” EP for Vagrant Records is out October 14th.

The outsized UK talent TĀLĀ verifies that she’s got more in her artistic bag of tricks than just alt-R&B on the stylistically diverse “Black Scorpio”. Chaotic, melodic, inventive, infectious; “Black Scorpio” is evocative of many diffuse yet complementary adjectives; that and it’s very very good. “Black Scorpio” will appear on a brand new TĀLĀ EP due soon on Aesop.

Down to Earth is out October 28th on Glassnote.

Those who are partial to a little sample spotting (like train spotting without the creepy anorak jackets) will have a field day with Semi Precious’ self-titled EP. South London’s Guy Baron deals with the torsion of several familiar sounds in a unique way, before gluing them together with his laid-back, melancholic vocals. Each mini-track in the 6-piece collection is like a course of a tasting menu, and will have you revisiting the stand out tracks “When It’s Hard” and “Shaky Skies” numerous times before feeling anywhere near satisfied.
Released through Squareglass and streaming below, ‘Semi Precious’ deserves to be cherished to the fullest extent. Reviewed By Nathan Hetherington
