The thing I like about this song is its quirkiness, the intro makes you think it’s a soulful slow jam, but when the beat drops, it’s anything but. What do I mean? Well at around 0:10 a trumpet comes in, and then we get treated to a scratch, straight into the drums, bass, and guitar …

Single Review: “Fly” – Artesan
Well let me start this by saying this is a well written song. This starts off with a bit of finger picking on an acoustic guitar, a simple enough start and then vocals, bass and drums come in. It’s very steady, no little tricks to deflect away from the main body of the song… but …
Single Review: “Gaze” – Alpha Twin
Well! This exploded out of my main speakers nicely! The guitar riff at the beginning comes in distorted and put through an EQ to make it sound like it’s coming out of a little radio. At 0:10 the bass comes in with kick and hi hat playing around two notes… Then… BOOM! 0:19 the whole …

It really catches the ear. The harmonies in …
