Featuring songs of revolution to songs that talk about emotional clutter, this edition of LITM Rock Picks show you fields music can cover. The list features artists Citizens of YEAH!, Mukka & the Wizard Sleeves, and Belling The Tiger.
Citizens of YEAH! - Rectangle
Presenting to you a rich sound texture, with its indie rock and folk elements, ‘Rectangle’ by Citizens of YEAH! Is a song steeped in melodious gentleness. The guitars are smooth and aren’t overpowering, which is the case with the drums too, which power the track in a gentle manner. The song is balanced equally between the vocals and the instrumentation, both beautifully complementing each other. The pace in the song maintains itself throughout. The song weaves political commentaries into its musicality, as it talks about Brazilian revolutionaries, and this makes the song universally sound considering the political climate in the world at present.
Mukka & the Wizard Sleeves - Charlie
Starting off with a solid punk rock sound, ‘Charlie’ by Mukka & the Wizard Sleeves pays reverence to the classics in the genre. The riffs are sharp and edgy and bring a unique energy to the track. The vocals in the song provide considerable character to the song, blending fun and swagger. They are sung dynamically and don’t stick to just one type. The song is rhythmically extremely catchy, as it moves through segments within itself, making the song that keeps you excited for what’s to come next. Give this one a listen if you’re looking for something fresh in the punk rock scene.
Belling The Tiger - Let the Rain
Keeping in accordance with the name and starting off with gentle rain sounds in the background, ‘Let the Rain’ by Belling The Tiger is poetry in musical notes. Gentle guitar plucking carrying the track, the song has a cozyness about it as it delivers a poignant message. The vocals in the song are attention demanding, with the way it flows and soars throughout the song. Later on, vocal harmonies come in, creating a lush soundscape as the song moves towards an end. Introspective, reflective, and deeply emotive, this song is one for the quiet evenings indoors, as you sit with a cup of tea looking out the window at the falling rain.
