Alex Cameron returns with “Red Hook Rain,” a preview for the forthcoming album Late to Set, delivering meta world-building through wildly catchy synth rock with sleaze, cheese, and an earworm hook. Babehoven releases “Blue Around You,” moving into full-on Americana with honky tonk guitar lines and a crying fiddle, resulting in a beautiful mid-tempo ditty. Body Type announces their third album, Tally, with “Mulberry,” shifting from riotous rage and sun-soaked energy toward understated intimacy, rendering the sound cloudy and opaque while still offering compelling momentum.
"Alex Cameron - "Red Hook Rain" Eccentric Australian songwriter Alex Cameron - known for his character-driven releases and vaguely conceptual persona - is back with his latest offering of meta world-building via wildly catchy synth rock. "Red Hook Rain," which serves as a preview for his forthcoming album Late to Set, has a little bit of sleaze, a little bit of cheese, and an earworm of a hook. It's a fun listen that proves Cameron never forgot the cardinal rule of getting weird with your work - make sure the tunes are solid too."
"Babehoven - "Blue Around You" In 2024, Babehoven dropped the lovely Water's Here In You. Since then, they've shared just a handful of new singles, including the recent "Wheels," a collaboration with Squirrel Flower and Billie Marten. This week, they returned with "Blue Around You," a number that finds the act going full-on Americana, with honky tonk guitar lines and a crying fiddle. To nobody familiar with the duo's work surprise, it's a mode Babehoven excel within, ultimately resulting in a truly beautiful, mid-tempo ditty."
"Body Type - "Mulberry" After releasing two great albums back-to-back (2022's Everything Is Dangerous But Nothing's Surprising and 2023's Expired Candy), Australian rockers Body Type have returned to announce their third album, Tally. The first single, "Mulberry," leaves some of the riotous rage and sun-soaked energy of their recent work and hearkens back to the understated intimacy of their first releases. It's a surprising turn from the group as they shift inward and render their sound cloudy and opaque; still, even with a more subtle presentation, there's plenty to be compelled by in "Mulberry.""
