New Music From The Inbox: J. Roddy Walston & The Business, The Oyster Murders, London Grammar, Sivu & Grey Reverend

By Juliette Jagger

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.

Link/Listen/Watch: 

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…”

Link/Listen/Watch:

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.

Link/Listen/Watch:


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.”
