MUNA – Loudspeaker

February 17, 2017 adamsturrock2014

Every good pop song has a light and dark side. Upbeat synths and dark lyrics. Sweet and sour. Sneak complex subjects in with a spoonful of sugar and you are hooked. MUNA’s song, Loudspeaker is a perfect example of this. … Continue reading MUNA – Loudspeaker

February 11, 2015February 11, 2015 adamsturrock2014

  Sometimes it sucks when you’ve missed out on listening to a new band, and a good one at that. While not exactly hot off the press – their debut EP was released back in mid-January – the LA five piece have … Continue reading Mount Saint – Excuses

The Night VI – Heroine

October 28, 2014October 29, 2014 adamsturrock2014

The one word that can describe The Night VI is consistency. Eight or so months ago, I came across a cover of “Thinking Bout You” by Frank Ocean and was blown away by their de-cluttered take, with Sophie-Rose’s voice front … Continue reading The Night VI – Heroine

CATHEDRALS – In The Dark

September 7, 2014December 9, 2014 adamsturrock2014

It seems between their first couple of singles Unbound and Harlem and their new single, they’ve taken a massive leap forward in terms of cultivating a unique sound. Not that their previous efforts weren’t very good – the opposite – but this … Continue reading CATHEDRALS – In The Dark

Shura – Just Once

August 8, 2014December 10, 2014 adamsturrock2014

Second of my music double-bill (see here for HONNE), we have the second single from London-based Shura, “Just Once”. It is quite clear that Shura is heartbreakingly frank in her song-writing. Over soft, 90s-style synths she croons, “If you get … Continue reading Shura – Just Once

April 20, 2014April 21, 2014 adamsturrock2014

After announcing the release of her new album, I Never Learn, Lykke Li has reminded us once again of her staying power within the upper echelons of pop music. Well, it is actually very hard to categorize her specifically into … Continue reading Lykke Li – Gunshot

SIREN – I Think I Like You

April 10, 2014April 13, 2014 adamsturrock2014

    WOW. Out of nowhere the LA duo, SIREN, have shot to the top of the Hype Machine charts and it is no fluke on their part. An unashamedly poppy track that incorporates open textures and thumping drums to … Continue reading SIREN – I Think I Like You

Illyin Pipes – Still

April 7, 2014April 7, 2014 adamsturrock2014

Canadian band, Illyin Pipes almost fooled us with their new song, Still. It starts off as a downtempo, electronic-tinged, love song – typical fare so far and I’m not sure where it is going. The real gem is revealed when … Continue reading Illyin Pipes – Still
