Folk Pop Duo Next Stop Horizon is Sharing Two of Their Music Videos with Us

musenext stop horizon

Next Stop Horizon is a Sweish indie folk/pop duo.  The are sharing with the ComicPop listeners, not one but two of their music videos.  The first one fits our site to a “T” with “Rain on Me”.  The single is very upbeat and catchy, but it’s the music video that hits my sweet spot.  It has spots throughout it of a couple of children dressed up in superhero outfits with capes and all.  You gotta love that!  With their second music video for their single “We’ll Whistle So” slows it down.  With this single they want to draw the listener in through the lyrics and music, plus the variety of instruments in this single is great.  If you live in or plan to attend SXSW the duo is a confirmed performance so check when and where they will be playing and enjoy their music.  Also I have to say I love their picture that we use above.  So thank you to Next Stop Horizon for sharing the music videos for “Rain on Me” and “We’ll Whistle So” through the “tapeterecords” YouTube channel – Richard:

Clavvs Newest Single “Leviathan”

city bird publicityClavvs

Amber Renee and Graham Marsh are re-introducing themselves as the duo Clavvs.  For this Clavvs is sharing with the ComicPop listeners their latest single “Leviathan”.  The single’s beginning has an other worldly feel and then the vocals come in nice and clear.  Even with the music being a little louder than the vocals Amber’s voice is crisp enough that she isn’t lost.  With her voice I wish it would be over the music to really get her the spotlight.  The single itself has an artistic electro/pop feel to it with a twinge of psychedelic mixed in.  Take a listen to Clavvs, through SoundCloud, to experience the “Leviathan” – Richard:

S21 Single “Rapper Life”

s21

S21 is sharing with the listeners of ComicPop Library with another single entitled “Rapper Life”.  With this single you can tell that this is from a freshman album.  S21 still needs to work on mixing the tracks, you can hear that the separate tracks are either laid on top of each other or the music is pre- packaged or recorded and then he is doing the lyrics.  The rhythm is good and even the voice is nice and clear.  You can hear the lyrics clearly which is sometimes tough to do with this music genre.  S21 has a good starting point.  He just needs to work on his mixing with a professional mixing software or find a professional sound studio.  You can check out “Rapper Life” here that S21 has provided through SoundCloud – Richard:
