New Music From The Inbox: J. Roddy Walston & The Business, The Oyster Murders, London Grammar, Sivu & Grey Reverend
Artist: J. Roddy Walston & The Business “Black Light”
Album: Essential Tremors
This one from J. Roddy Walston & The Business is all dirty southern rock and roll – Bottom heavy bass and vocals that are as sweet as any Prince song.
Sounds like: Ew wee.

Artist: The Oyster Murders “Disaster Flower Bloom”
Album: Mourning Birds
Made fragile and moody by a very quiet back and forth chemistry between husband and wife duo Grant and Wendy Redgen, “Disaster Flower Bloom” is ambient guitars, analogue synths and longing to be alright.
Sounds like: “This is not your day…”

Artist: London Grammar “Interlude”
Album: If You Wait
“Interlude” from London Grammar is one of those songs that just stalls you. The tone in Hannah Reid’s voice is so lush and heavy it hurts.
Sounds like: “I will dream of you, you’ll be dreaming of me too.”

Artist: Sivu “Over & Over”
Album: The Bodies EP
There’s something almost tense and poignant about this song; like the words are coming through grinding teeth and yet it’s like a lullaby at the very same time.
Sounds like: You can catch Sivu on tour as direct support for London Grammar this fall.

Artist: Grey Reverend “Everlasting”
Album: A Hero’s Lie
“Everlasting” plucks along emotionally raw and yearning for just a little something more.
Sounds like: “Everlasting, everything is on the other side.”
