SINGLE REVIEWS, MAY AND JUNE 2019

Palace - Running Wild
Beneath the signature guitar leads and dusty vocals rumbles a gentle yet prominent bass-line, and Palace once again has us running with them. An incredibly exciting and promising track to tease the trio’s third album, “Life After”, due mid-July.

Metronomy - Salted Caramel Ice Cream
I scream, you scream, we all scream for Metronomy. The kind of track that’ll have you too busy bopping along to catch the drips running down the cone. Pass my shades.

​Crumb - Fall Down
In a gooey trip of psychedelic bliss, Crumb returns with ‘Fall Down’. But we don’t so much ‘fall’ as we do ‘sink’ into this new release, easing into a dreamy haze led by the title track. A mellow start that eventually uncovers a short, sweet glimpse into the bands more up-tempo potential.

Wives - The 20 Teens
Diving into a deep rolling guitar from the offset, the track heads for a slightly more power-ballad feel than the usual hard rock. In saying that, while simpler in premise than their previous singles, ‘The 20 Teens’ could well be a new entry for those late night sing-alongs among the indie crowds. WIVES are off on a tangent with this one, but we’re intrigued to see where it’s going

Swim Deep - To Feel Good
With choirs, keys and spoken verse, this is not the Swim Deep we thought we knew. Dreamy and direct, this new track will hit you hard.

Featured across The Rodeo's Weekly Roundups, from end of May to late June 2019. Find them here.
