chelsealankes4

The Motley Crue cover “Too Young To Fall In Love” is the b-side to Chelsea Lankes’ “Down For Whatever” single out today (3/2). About the song and its choice as a cover, Chelsea says “she’s always been a fan of the 80s and particularly hair metal”, and “There are so many great lyrics and melodies from that era and dressed up a little differently, they can still be a really great pop song.”.

Aero Flynn – Crisp

The forward-thinking dark pop of “Crisp” is excerpted here from Twin Cities act Aero Flynn’s upcoming self-titled debut. Taught layered percussion, fuzzed-out guitar lead-driven rhythm structures and an astral sort of sonic backdrop all point to “Crisp”‘s standout sound. Aero Flynn is out March 15.

A.Chal – Gazi

The slow-mo mod-R&B of “Gazi” is the first new track in two years for NY/LA-based A.Chal. On the track, a steadying kick drum and on-the-downbeats piano stabs provide the frame for “Gazi”‘s hypnotic and potent melodic flow.

Wolf Alice – Giant Peach

wolfalice2

“Giant Peach” is the lead track from Wolf Alice’s forthcoming major label debut My Love Is Cool. “Giant Peach” possesses a “big rock sound” but in achieving it, the track sacrifices nothing in melody and immediacy resulting in a top class indie rock track, one of the genre’s best songs of the year so far.
