Song We Like: Thunderstorms and Wildfire by Lo Wray

Song We Like: Thunderstorms and Wildfire by Lo Wray

Lo Wray of BROTHRS writes, sings, harmonizes, plays all the instruments, engineers and mixes this pretty pretty song. Lo knows how to write songs. This is gorgeous in its simplicity. A single guitar and a Beatles-like melody floats over the top. The chorus is such a hook – I don’t want to lose you, I don’t want to lose you now.Wanna hear us talk about this song? – Featured on our #85 podcast at www.hlycrp.com.

Song We Like: Rotten Mind by Suicide Generation

Song We Like: Rotten Mind by Suicide Generation

Beautiful 1977 punk. The song is an out of control race car that is shaking and billowing smoke and will probably blow apart. This thing is perfect garage punk – the drumming is amazing and the singer kills it. They hate everything – but we love them so much.Wanna hear us talk about this song? – Featured on our #85 podcast at www.hlycrp.com.

Song We Like: Wooden Heart by Mink’s Miracle Medicine

Song We Like: Wooden Heart by Mink’s Miracle Medicine

The song rolls out slow, soft and mysterious, like a winter fog rolling into a valley at dusk. This a poet searching for a vocabulary that captures all the emotional truths of falling in love with someone and then cutting them open to build them a new wooden heart. This is a poet walking into a land that has never been explored before.Wanna hear us talk about this song? – Featured on our #85 podcast at www.hlycrp.com.

Song We Like: I Don’t Think She Cares by White Reaper

Song We Like: I Don’t Think She Cares by White Reaper

Hard rocking and snarling punk – plus an 80s video game inspired synth. You’ve stolen my heart. This is the perfect example of the global underground. This straight hit could have emerged from the Melbourne underground or from the outer-boroughs of London. This is clearly the most excellent pop-song plus amazing bass and drums and attitude.

Song We Like: Who Puked In My Cup by Steve Hill

Song We Like: Who Puked In My Cup by Steve Hill

One of my favorite songs from the Godless America Records Vol. 6. This is a wonderful basement home recording with a massive acoustic guitar and distorted blown-out voice. It’s a shaggy dog story of sitting and staring at a cup of puke between your feet and wondering who is starting all this bullshit now? Epic and cool. Wanna hear us talk about this song? – Featured on our #83 podcast at www.hlycrp.com.

Song We Like: The Siren’s Song by Dangerous Goods

Song We Like: The Siren’s Song by Dangerous Goods

Dangerous Goods is one of the many music ventures of our friend Quinn Powers. Here he is all catchy pop and delicious beats and synth. The understated vocal line is so hooky and dreamy. Wonderful play with dynamics – not loud and soft – but simplicity and complexity. This is so good I was dumb enough to ask if it was a cover – I’m dumb.
