800Beloved

Everything Purple
  
1. Everything Purple
2. 1992

4. Surf's Up
5. Empire
6. Slasher Flick
8. No More Unicorns
9. Malva


Hailing from Michigan, 800beloved is Sean Lynch (vocals/songwriting), Anastasiya “Stacy” Metesheva (bass) and Scott Masson (drums). And contrary to what some may expect when they hear of Sean’s day job working at the family funeral home, the band’s second release Everything Purple bears no kinship to goth or more macabre sounds. Rather, 800beloved’s sound is a bright and dreamy homage to love, obsession and watery landscapes, borne out of dreams of purple. The title track from Everything Purple is unmixed and features Sean’s measured baritone over jangly and melodious guitars and lo-fi drums. A sound which, along with that of the other tracks on the album, remains organic and retains a characteristic richness.

HIGHLY RECOMMENDED

Polock is band from Valenica, Spain, and with only one  single (Fireworks) out now for the world to listen to. Polock will officially make their debut in May, with their album Getting Down from Trees, but until then there’s the instantly likeable “Fireworks.”
