Barefoot on the Seine with Blue Violet
Barefoot on the Seine the new track from Blue Violet, was inspired by witnessing protests in Chicago and Europe – is a schizophrenic dispatch from the edges of a Parisian riot: its verses lost in graceful Gallic romance; its choruses all grunge rock eruptions; its whole a righteous call to arms in support of essential personal freedoms.
Northern Gentleman - Blitz Vega
Blitz Vega release album Northern Gentleman, a fitting tribute to band member Andy Rourke who sadly passed last year as the record neared completion. "A celebration of life and legacy, blending rock, electronic, and sci-fi twists into an album that feels both reflective and forward-looking. Though Rourke’s passing in May 2023 was a significant loss, this album serves as a testament to his enduring talent and creative partnership with Kav Sandhu".
"A monumental album; this is a remarkably special listen, and a perfect homage to both Andy Rourke and Kav Sandhu. With notes of both established artists’ signature sounds beaming throughout,...anthemic, raw, and emotion-filled"
Native Harrow - Divided Kind
Divided Kind is another powerfully engaging offering from Native Harrow, a folk-soul-rock sound that still explores their love of RnB, jazz, country, and farther-flung inspirations.
In the words of Bernard Zuel "Divided Kind is Native Harrow finding new ways for familiar routes in "country/soul & moody rootsiness, groove-based rhythms & church-based ballads, laidback pop with a Pacific view & the faint shimmer of something psychedelic". You know, the good stuff.
