Top Pick: Hector Plimmer ‘Sunshine’

If we are to discuss the music of South London native Hector Plimmer, it is best to stay away from the idea of genre. Sure one could possibly sort out various elements in terms of the type of music he creates, but to even dwell that far into dissection is almost to miss the beauty and craftsmanship of his art. If a description just had to be placed on his new LP 'Sunshine', possibly sonic voodoo could come close. Perhaps dream state music is appropriate. No matter what description one chooses to attribute to Plimmer's sound, one thing is certain, 'Sunshine' is truly a gorgeous ray of light, lifting and point blank beautiful.

Stream Silent Pictures’ New LP ‘Let it Begin’

San Francisco band Silent Pictures have released their new album 'Let it Begin'. Stirring together psych, shoe gaze and garage, the 12-song LP is raw in delivery and spunky in instrumentation. Whilst the beauty of the album does explode through its gritty sonics, there is also flex and stretching moments that comes from the experience of playing for many years. In a way, Silent Pictures are letting loose with ease, as tracks effortlessly shift from raging guitar shredding and distortion on tunes like 'Time Has Broken' to delicate melodies on songs such as 'Far From Reach'. 'Let it Begin' is rock & roll uncut, unfiltered and utterly addicting. You can preview the album below.

Stream Silent Pictures’ ‘Twisted Smiles’

If Northern California-based band Silent Pictures' track 'Twisted Smiles' has an air of 90s alternative rock nostalgia, it's probably because that was the time that Alexander Mann wrote the song. This is actually part of the magic of the song which fuses alt with a psych-garage overtone, coupled with traces of grunge. Although 'Twisted Smiles' harks back to a sound that was prominent a couple decades back, it couldn't have come out at a better time. The track is featured on Silent Pictures' forthcoming album 'Let It Begin' which lands July 15th.
