Marrius - Easy Fix [Review]

December 07, 2019 by Travis Erwin in Music, Commercial, Indie Electronic

Rating: 4 out of 5

“Marrius drops ‘Easy Fix,’ a track that feels dark and alluring in a modern Noir sort of way.

The track basically asks ... How far are you willing to go, for what you’re not even supposed to have? ”

    jaye - TOMORROW [Music Video Review]

    December 02, 2019 by Travis Erwin in Music Videos, Indie Electronic, Electro Pop

    Rating: 4 out of 5

    “A track that plays with the emotions. Dark sarcastic lyrics, and disturbing imagery, go along with an upbeat almost childlike melody and beat. A good metaphor for life and how we say we are fine when underneath there is often looming turmoil. ”

      “I love the soft pleading quality to the vocals on this track. The beat and melody add to the anxious hopeful tone which sort of whispers to the soul.”

        Daughters of Noise! - 2023 [Review]

        November 05, 2019 by Travis Erwin in Music, Indie Electronic

        Rating: 3.5 out of 5

        “If I am honest ... I nearly dismissed this track early on. The initial sound did not hook me, but the longer I listened, that old school 90s synth vibe snaked its way into my soul, and the retro girl band vocals soon caught my ear.

        I was a reluctant fan for sure, but there is something to be said for a track that can surprise you and turn your head and I came away a fan despite that initial reaction.”

            “A strong debut from Elly J Devon. I thought I knew where the vocals were taking me, but I was wrong and pleasantly surprised to be so. A soulful ode to staying strong in the face of a deteriorating relationship.”

              iEzra - Trigger Finger [Review]

              October 05, 2019 by Travis Erwin in Music, Reggae, Indie Electronic

              Rating: 4 out of 5

              “An interesting blend of reggae sounds and electro pop production gives this single a unique sound. Beyond the well-produced single is a sentiment of frustration over violence and the politics that swirl because of and in spite of the onslaught of tragedies.

              This track offers a perspective that is not often at play and this only adds to the difference in sound and vibe. But make no mistake, this is entertaining music as well! ”

                Rating: 4 out of 5

                “In contradiction to the fun pop vibe that bubbles on the surface, this track brings an underlying darkness in both the message and video. a darkness that taps into a truth, because unfortunately, what you see isn’t what you truly get in this world — not with people, products, or the motivations behind them. This single and video do a great job of exposing that fact in a fun entertaining way.”

                  Rating: 4 out of 5

                  “This single is sang soft and tender, which stands in contrast to the hard-edged sarcasm of the lyrics. ‘thnk u’ rolls out like a pop version of a church hymnal, and it does so with a deliverance and declaration that oh-so-many will relate to.

                  The track is a smooth fuck you to all those we cross paths with — that leave us worse off for the experience.”

                    “A racing mind tends to make leaps from one fear to another until it finds that one inescapable paranoia. ‘Paranoid’ captures that sensation and the construct of the song has that same kind of feel.

                    My first listen through I was slightly uncomfortable, yet hooked and that is how I knew this song had captured it’s emotional intent.”

                      “An interesting timber to the vocals catches your attention right away. Lyrically the writing is strong and the melody fits well with the performance. The backing chant is a bit overdone in much of the music that toes that Indie Rock/Americana/Folk vibe and here too, it did feel a bit extraneous , but overall ‘Sideways’ moves forward in a positive manner.”
