L.A.'s Death Valley Girls have shared their latest track 'The Universe', taken from their forthcoming album 'Under the Spell of Joy', out October 2nd via Suicide Squeeze Records. A glorious blend of trippy psychedelic, glam and desert rock, the hazy cut also includes loads of multi-vocals that give it a sort of mystical and enchanting feel.
L.A. Witch have unveiled their latest single 'Gen-Z', taking from their forthcoming album 'Play With Fire', out August 21st on Suicide Squeeze Records. Pure, unadulterated rock & roll built on menacing guitar riffs, a sinister bass line and the sassy vocals of Sade Sanchez. The content of the tune deals with the current generation's reliance on social media and the lacking of ways and other outlets to deal with the added pressures of it. 'Gen-Z' is the follow-up to L.A. Witch's song 'I Wanna Lose', which was released last month.
L.A.-based band All Things Blue are scheduled to release their new album 'Get Bit' on October 2nd. One of the songs taken from the upcoming LP is their new single appropriately titled 'Dicking Around', the follow-up to their previous cut 'Chad'. An eargasmic and utterly dreamy soundscape, the tune touches on dealing with that mental triggering that spawns one to act on impulses.
Los Angeles trio L.A. Witch will release their new album 'Play With Fire' on August 21st via the Suicide Squeeze label. The record follows their 2018 EP 'Octubre', as well as their 2017 self-titled debut album. L.A. Witch have also unveiled their new single 'I Wanna Lose'. A brilliant handing of rock & roll alchemy, the tune bridges punk, grunge, psychedelic and elements of garage in one sitting.
Los Angeles band Death Valley Girls will release their forthcoming EP 'Breakthrough' on June 12th via Suicide Squeeze Records. The group have also shared the title track to the new record. Inspired by Damien Echols of the West Memphis 3, the song is a stampeding mix of metal, psychedelic and garage rock that is packed with anthemic vocals and raw, effective instrumentation.
Los Angeles siblings Ryan and Joey Sela follow their sultry track 'Wanna Know Something' with a new single titled 'Something Good'. The song is a breezy offering of mellow indie that is peppered with gentle guitar strums underneath tender vocals. There is even saxophone play throughout the tune.
Hanni El Khatib is gearing up for the release of his new album 'FLIGHT', out May 15th on Innovative Leisure. From what we can tell so far, the record is a reflection of all the multiple styles of music that Hanni grew up with in San Francisco, ranging from garage rock and punk to Hip-Hop and soul. Tapping producer Leon Michels to work on the LP, this is listed as Hanni El Khatib's most well-rounded work.
L.A. producer Pat Lok steps up with a soulful house offering dubbed 'Salvation'. The song is taken from his forthcoming EP 'Gone is Yesterday', which will get released via Kitsune Musique. Tapping into more of a 90s styling, the tune is stacked with ethereal synths, lush vocals and grooving 4x4 kicks. Definitely a feel-good and uplifting record, 'Salvation' is that needed ray of sunshine at the moment.
Making his return with the track and video 'STRESSY' last month, Hanni El Khatib now unveils another vid, this time for the second single titled 'ALIVE'. What you have here is Hanni dressed up in a Sylvester the Cat costume whilst taking a fall down a very long set of outside steps. While you can pretty much place the metaphorical nature of the visuals to the track itself, we're just hoping that it only took Hanni one take to do that fall! 'ALIVE' is taken from his forthcoming album 'Flight', which is out May 15th on Innovative Leisure.
L.A.-based Helene Alexandra Jaeger, known to the world as Holy Boy, makes her return with a cover of The Doors' classic song 'Riders on the Storm', which was originally featured on their 1971 album 'L.A. Woman' and released as the second single of the LP. Slowing down the tempo on her reworked version, Holy Boy gives the song a darker feel as nightly drum programming accompanies haunting keys.
