Indie Pop / Rock Playlist | BIRP! November 2024

I Love The Rain, I Feel New

Chaki Queen

Combining a passion for melodic psych and darkwave, Red Telephone’s 2023 debut album ‘Hollowing Out’ was described by Clash Music as “Gritty, brilliantly dark and expansive. A deliciously dark, mesmerising and a dystopian-tinged sonic palette that could have been heard in Bowie’s Berlin in the late 1970’s. An impressive and masterful debut.” 

Hailing from Cardiff, the multi-instrumentalists with two sets of brothers in their ranks released their first two singles as a double A-side vinyl on Welsh cult label Popty-Ping and have been championed by Huw Stephens & Steve Lamacq. The five-piece recently finished recording their second album, which is due for release in October 2024.

“Gritty, brilliantly dark and expansive. A deliciously dark, mesmerising and a dystopian-tinged sonic palette that could have been heard in Bowie’s Berlin in the late 1970’s. An impressive and masterful debut.” - Clash Music

“Very nicely layered. Has a bit of early 80s melodrama; a sort of Pet Shop Boys croon and a Krautrock halo.” – Steve Lamacq, BBC 6 Music

“They have the potential to soundtrack a generation.” – Drowned in Sound

“Something brilliantly dark about this, with their synth psych noir with a pulse. Real potential to go big.” - Chris Hawkins, BBC 6 Music

“With music as smart as their aesthetic, Cardiff’s Red Telephone are making neo-noir sounds that could have made it onto the ‘Drive’ soundtrack.” – Gigwise

Again vocals from looperman.com, this time by Katrina Barr (katrinabarr04). A song about someone who doesn't receive or recognize the whole truth. The message is particularly relevant to our current times.

Lyrics

Take a step back
look at the whole thing
see the whole view
Dont you loose track
Look at the whole scene
Its not about you

Dont fall by the way side
Can you hear the word
Dont fall by the way side
Can you hear the word

And it feels so right

The Way Side - Katrina Barr & OMCB

You can't miss it. First thing you see in Yukon, Oklahoma is the water tower that proudly reads "YUKON: HOME OF GARTH BROOKS." Danny grew up in this smallish town, cruising Garth Brooks Boulevard, aka, Main Street, USA. This song's about living in the shadow of greatness, transcending the small-town mindset, and the sensation of cruising the main drag and feeling mixed emotions of nostalgia, joy, ennui. Roll down the windows: here's "Garth," your sweetly melancholy homecoming late-summer jam.

Garth
