Chris J Clarke – Day to Night: Hypnotically Melodic Indie Jangle Pop

Posted on 19 January 2019

Hearing how much the young up and coming artist Chris J Clarke has matured and grown into his signature Indie Alt Pop style is probably one of the most rewarding aural journey you can take.

His new EP “Day to Night” contains some potently melodic works of upbeat aural alchemy, and there’s no better introduction to his sound than the title track from the EP which any fans of the 1975 are sure to appreciate. Yet, if any artist could make the 1975 sound raucous, it is Chris J Clarke with his ability to cook up soundscapes which are so smooth they’re bordering on hypnotic. While you can still hear the ring of the Jangle Pop guitars faintly in the background, electronic effect takes over the mix and laces it in a sound so fluid you may as well be listening to the waves crash.

You can check out Chris J Clarke’s latest single Day to Night along with the rest of the EP for yourselves by heading over to Spotify now.

SHYER – Alcohol & Arguments: Female Fronted Indie Jangle Pop

Posted on 12 July 2018

SHYER cracked it. The key to creating an ultimately resonant track is to allow the audience to resonate with the track before they even hit play. I mean, there aren’t many people out there that can’t pair alcohol with arguments in some way or another. Anyway; It would seem as though SHYER found their signature sound with Alcohol & Arguments by using a Garage Rock style intro before the track slips into progression where you’re treated to the upbeat riffs of the Jangle Pop guitar which lifts the track around the female fronted vocals which sit poignantly over the top of the track. There’s a tinge of Country Blues to vocalist’s style, however I couldn’t quite get the reminiscence between SHYER & Paramore out of my mind for the entire duration of the track. That could never be a bad thing though, right?

Keep your eyes & ears peeled for SHYER’s release of Alcohol & Arguments in June 2018 which will be available to download and stream across all platform including SoundCloud, you can also head on over to Facebook & give the Indie Pop Rock powerhouse a like
