Cleverly letting each song speak for itself, the band marches through a variety of genres (e.g. synth-rock, hard rock and shoegaze, just to name a few) but are held together through Brandsness and Warren’s virtuosic riffs and fiery back-and-forth vocals. Leading off with single ‘Make Me Sick,’ the album recalls the more driving and melodic Queens of the Stone Age cuts, like if Josh Homme worshiped Robert Smith instead of Iggy Pop.
Hearing that laugh can be fatal, but there is madness and sanity inside all of us, and sometimes one speaks louder than the other, but strangely, they walk in theatrical sync, some more comical, some more wicked… dictates the rules of the world, it’s madness you let on.
This music video will capture your attention, with its well-structured beat and thought-provoking vocals, so be careful not to lose sight of the danger, as he has fun everywhere, with the same smile plastered on his face.
Listening to the rustic, acoustic beauty of ‘Handsome Woman’ by Los Angeles singer-songwriter Lauren Scott-Phillips I am struck by the sheer stripped down beauty of it all. Lauren embodies the track with a seemingly natural ability to structure melodies that make you hear things that aren’t there. Yeah, really. I have listened to this song dozen’s of times and when the chorus sweeps in I hear added layers of orchestrations wrap around Lauren’s voice. Lauren’s down to earth elegant folk vocal aesthetic, like a cross generational amalgam of artists like Judy Collins and Gillian Welch, slips easily around you no matter what kind of music you are into.
“Sonically, ‘Omniscient Cloud Cover’ runs the gamut from festival-ready indie-pop earworms to big band jazz-tinged psychedelic rock and hazy bedroom-pop, constantly shifting in a way that feels simultaneously meticulous and unpredictable. Though the band plays jump rope with genre-lines, their masterful arrangements and pop finesse keep the songs from ever feeling disjointed. New single ‘Golden Blues’ finds the band at their most danceable, with prog-inspired guitar riffs and steady backbeat drums punctuated by stings of brass and woodwinds as multiple vocalists explore the paradox of isolation in a hyper-connected world.”
“A Night in the Woods” is a perfect pick for the spooky season as the protagonists of the song, The Bridgewater Astral League, were written about like the graverobbing punks of the ’80s by Terricloth, and brought to life by vocalist Brittany Luna”
“Richmond, Virginia psych-rockers Piranha Rama are slick and celebratory in equal turns on “Golden Blues,” the song off their recently released album Omniscient Cloud Cover. With the album created as a means of addressing the pandemic and the isolation that followed for all of us around the world, “Golden Blues” invokes an always-connected globe.”
