“Vampires” Abound with The Autumn Stone Music Video

The Autumn Stone duo is sharing with us their latest music video for their single “Vampires”. This single definitely has that psycodelic feel to it. However, if you can call a psycodelic song tame this one would be in that category. “Vampires” has that slow feel to it, but not to far out there in it’s musicality. The music video is probably more out there than the single. Because the single isn’t to far out there I think it will appeal more to a general audience, but you definitely know they where going for a specific genre when they recorded the single. Check out the “Vampire” music video from James Cassidy’s YouTube channel – Richard:

Patternist Releases the Lyric Video for “Gone”

The Patternist comes to us by way of Portland and gives everyone a taste of his ElectoPop music with his lyric video for “Gone”. The beat to the single is catchy and keeps the listener interested in the single, however the vocals, to me, blend in to much with the instruments and at times is even over powered by the instruments. Gabe has a singing voice I want to hear more of. So for me tone down the instruments and give us those vocals for everyone to hear and appreciate. Check out the lyric video for “Gone” from Patternist’s YouTube channel – Richard:

Autumn In June Single “HEROin KIDZ”

Autumn in June is hitting the scene with the single “HEROin KIDZ”. The single’s lyric might not appeal to some, but it is a legit topic to cover. The single’s vocals tend to get lost at times within the powerful instrumentals. The rhythm is good and catchy, but it isn’t a fast single or a slow one, it hits that in between stage. I also love hearing the trumpets. Some like the vocals to blend in with the instruments, I tend to lean more to nice clean and clear vocals, because the voice is an instrument in and of itself and needs to be in the spot light. Check out Autumn In June’s single “HEROin KIDZ” through Soundcloud – Richard:

“Walk Away” Music Video from Hy Brasil

In “Walk Away” Hy Brasil gives the listeners a Techno Sound. This makes the single have an other worldly feel. This might be intentional on the bands part, but their voices do tend to get lost in the instruments. This is a style that several enjoy, but I like to have the voices to be as much of the song as the instruments. When you add the music video to this single it adds to the single. The video was shot in black and white film and has a young woman that has a unicorn mask on her face. These visuals compliment “Walk Away” in achieving that other worldly feel. Check out “Walk Away” from Hy Brasil’s YouTube channel – Richard:

Listeners will enjoy the vocal treatment and steady beat throughout the single. Here is the link to New Noise Magazine if you would like to listen to American Pinup’s “The Radio.” – Richard: http://newnoisemagazine.com/exclusive-stream-american-pinup-the-radio/

“Where Memories Live” Music Video

Light Out There delivers to music fans the single “Where Memories Live”. This single is a very clean and simple song which is reminiscent of country music from the 1980’s and 1990’s. The video adds to the lyrics that convey a life message. This song isn’t about getting up and dancing, but what many in our world are experiencing with loved ones, dementia. The general audience will appreciate the single but those that have or are experiencing dementia with loved ones, it will resonate even more. A had subject to express, but Light Out There does an admiral job. Check out “Where Memories Live” through Light Out There’s YouTube channel – Richard:
