Last month we featured “I Think You’re Alright” the opposite side track from Jay Som a/k/a SF’s Melina Duarte’s new 7″ for Fat Possum. We dig the reverb-set “Rush” and it’s strong chorus hook. Listen to “Rush” below.

[B3SCI Records] Trudy and the Romance – He Sings / Wild

Out today on B3SCI Records is “He Sings / Wild” the new AA-side single from Liverpool mutant lot Trudy and the Romance. Consequence of Sound calls the band’s ramshackle modernizing of 50’s/60’s pop aesthetics & harmony as “oddly dreamy” and “stylish”.

Alexandra Savior – Shades

The Alex Turner co-produced “Shades” is new from Portland songwriter Alexandra Savior. Led by a cool syncopated rhythm track and a deep in the mix lead vocal, the song (for reference) aesthetically hits a bit of the “R&B architecture” of the latter days Arctics style. “Shades” is out now on Columbia.

Nascent Antwerp BE band Felix Pallas captures an artful anthemic sound (that little insturmental hook/break that first enters the track at 0:45 is very impressive) on potential breakout/crossover new track “Curse”.
