New Music Friday brings some contemplative yet delightful tracks to listeners this week. See what’s new:
1. Fish in a Birdcage: “Rule #44 – Badger”
Fish in a Birdcage deliver the epitome of quirky grunge with “Rule #44 – Badger.” Through a theatrical narrative vocal style and a surreal music video, they deliver a message about the tough reality of life: “A choice to make a fist / Or lay down on the side lines.”
2. Alice Phoebe Lou: “Better”
Alice Phoebe Lou releases “Better,” a charming, sparkling indie track. The toy-like piano timbre adds a distinct dreamy feel that enhances the bright lyrical content. On these gloomy fall days, this track serves as a reminder to find happiness in small things.
3. Griff: “last night’s mascara”
Griff tells a metaphorical story with her latest single with “last night’s mascara.” Her rich vocals reverb beautifully over a thick, synthy bass, resulting in a satisfying sonic depth. The chorus bursts into a colorful, 80s-inspired symphony; what’s not to love?
4. Ruelle: “Little Drummer Boy”
Ruelle came back with her rendition of “Little Drummer Boy” just in time for the holiday season (for those who skip Thanksgiving). The instrumentals are minimalistic at first, driven solely by a staccato choral sample. As the track goes on, a vibrant orchestra joins in.
5. philine: “matter”
Dutch artist philine releases her new single “matter,” which outlines feelings of love and the unpredictability of life. Her light and youthful vocals seamlessly blend with the indie soft rock elements, creating a track that is easy to remember and sing along to.
