Top Tracks of the Week #314 – God Is In The TV Magazine
This past weekend was a festive and relaxing time for many, with the long weekend providing a welcome break. Jesus certainly knew how to pick a good time for a holiday, even if he borrowed the idea from the Pagans. Although, in hindsight, his choice of disciples may not have been the best, as they did not always make the wisest decisions. One can only hope that his father had a word with him about it when he returned home. But enough about that, let’s move on to some great tunes that are sure to lift your spirits and brighten your day.
Vicki Peterson and John Cowsill have joined forces to create magic with their latest release, “Is Anybody Here.” With Vicki’s background as the lead guitarist of The Bangles and John’s extensive experience with The Beach Boys and The Cowsills, it’s no surprise that their collaboration is a hit. Their duo album, “Long After the Fire,” features Americana songs written by John’s late brothers, Barry and Bill Cowsill. The single “Is Anybody Here” captures the essence of their family history, making it a truly heartfelt and meaningful track.
On a different note, TV Death’s latest single, “Propaganda,” is a powerful and thought-provoking commentary on how misinformation can distort truth and fuel fear and division. With its raw and relentless psych punk sound, the track serves as a wake-up call about the narratives we are fed and the impact they have on society. The band’s debut album, “Neon Dreamland,” is set to be released soon, so be sure to keep an eye out for it.
Despite their name, The Sick Man Of Europe is far from being unwell. Fresh off a successful tour with Snapped Ankles, the band is gearing up to release their debut self-titled album, featuring the lead single and video “Obsolete.” The track delves into the human fear of obsolescence in a world where progress moves at a rapid pace. Set against a backdrop inspired by German electronic pioneers Neu!, “Obsolete” is a dark and haunting track that challenges listeners to ponder the consequences of constant growth and innovation.
Lastly, Black Honey is set to release their fourth album, “Soak,” in August, with the tantalizing new single “Dead” offering a glimpse of what’s to come. Described as an “anthem of dissociation,” the track is filled with scuzzy riffs and powerful chants delivered by Izzy B. Phillips. Emphasizing emotional depth over technical perfection, Black Honey’s storytelling prowess shines through in “Dead,” promising an album that is sure to captivate and inspire listeners.
With a diverse range of music to explore, these tracks offer a taste of the creativity and talent present in the music industry today. So sit back, relax, and enjoy the sounds that are sure to make your day a little brighter.
