[Weekly Mix] 2022.01 (3)

Upbeat sunshine dancing-in-your-living-room vibe. It's a song about living in the moment, letting your happy hormones do their work instead of worrying about how you come across. Musical inspiration from Zouk La Sé Sel Médikaman Nou Ni by Kassav'.

“Now's the only time to be”

Fun facts: Willem plays the kazoo while drumming. The lyrics are partly inspired by Cinderella.

Jason Quever has been releasing timeless dream pop as Papercuts since 2004; his new album "Past Life Regression" is a journey into the dreamier reaches of psychedelic folk-pop that digs deep into influences as wide-ranging as The West Coast Pop Art Experimental Band, Spiritualized, Echo & The Bunnymen, Leonard Cohen and late 60s pop of various flavors. Jason's songcraft, arranging and production are immaculate as always, reflecting his broad experience and enlivened by his move back home to the San Francsico Bay Area. It's remarkable that after more than 15 years he's writing his best songs and in "Past Life Regression" has made his finest record. Gorgeous, perfectly constructed chamber pop for the very unusual times we're living through.

Kindsight - Hi Life

Following the release of their debut EP ‘Scene Change’, Sydney-based duo Salarymen have dropped a new single ‘All in Vain’ and accompanying video via Scenic Drive Records, as premiered on Triple J Home & Hosed. 

‘All in Vain’ represents a new era for Salarymen, transitioning into a more sophisticated sound, while maintaining their signature harmonies and synth-driven rhythms. The song makes an instant impact with undeniably catchy melodies and bright, summery riffs, which build up to an emphatic ending and leave the listener wanting more. Placing Renee’s songwriting abilities front and centre, ‘All in Vain’ rounds out with a set of powerful, climbing vocal lines, which reach dizzying heights.

Co-vocalist and bassist Renee de la Motte explains the meaning behind the song:

“All in vain is a frank reflection on how much social media has crept into our lives, and placed pressure on us to look better and be present, all of the time. As a society, it has increased our narcissistic tendencies and driven us to compete with other people. What someone puts out on Instagram might look amazing, but in many cases they can be deeply insecure and unhappy with themselves. These platforms have become a constant force reminding people of what they lack, and this track is an uplifting reminder not to worry about what people think of you on the internet. You’re cool the way you are!”

Hey Little Girl is the byproduct of one afternoon practicing the Number System. Curiosity and experimentation with seventh chords led to its unique development. Much like the instrumentation, Hey Little Girl is about contrast and learning to authentically smile through life’s gritty up’s and downs- even when you don’t quite get it right.
