Song Premiere: "Why So Serious" by Taylor Barefoot

NYC's Big Takeover Magazine has debuted "Why So Serious," the new single from shoegaze / post-rock artist Taylor Barefoot, from his forthcoming debut album Distressed Signals, out April 6.

"The self-effacing, cinematic escape anthem lifts off, fueled by cautious optimism, before expending all its triumphant energy in a highly combustible bridge section that coasts on anxious fumes to a static-drenched landing."

Shoe-gazing singer/songwriter Taylor Barefoot is priming a new album for release on April 8 — but the Big Takeover has an early peek at the record with the self-effacing, cinematic escape anthem “Why So Serious.”

Genre-fluid alt-proggers Flummox premiere epic The Unibirth Suite - check it out now!

Prog magazine has debuted Flummox deep cut "The Unibirth Suite," calling it a "prog metal epic." The 14-minute multi-part song comes from the band's forthcoming album, Rephlummoxed, out April 1 on Needlejuice Records.

The suite's middle section, which predates the band, was originally inspired by a poem written by singer-bassist Alyson Blake Dellinger's godfather, Bill, a big supporter of young Dellinger's musical aspirations, who has since passed away. "Unibirth" is the first ever song written by Dellinger and Flummox co-founder / guitarist Drew Jones. They were 14 at the time.

Get the full story behind the song, and listen to the full track here...

Alligator Proof

Atlanta bedroom-pop artist Nadia Marie released new single "Alligator Proof" today.

An alternate acoustic take from the sessions for Nadia Marie's forthcoming LP, Seven, it's a sparse, haunting and emotionally arresting track. The song finds her reflecting back on the last seven years of her life—in particular, marrying a complete stranger for a performance-art piece, unexpectedly falling in love, surviving a near-fatal crash that left her body shattered while also revealing cracks in the bond with her partner, from whom she would ultimately split, wounded by petty jealousy and a general lack of support and compassion.

AN NCS VIDEO PREMIERE: FLUMMOX - "FLUMMOXING ACT I: GARBANZO'S LEAP" - NO CLEAN SINGING

Many thanks to Islander at NO CLEAN SINGING, who has been on the Flummox train from the jump. This week, NCS premiered the new video for “Flummoxing Act I: Garbanzo’s Leap,” the band’s second video to emerge this week. Here’s what they had to say:

“The song’s beefy bass lines and neck-snapping drum beats will get your head moving, and the sweeping and swirling synths might send your mind’s eye into space, but the music goes other places too, with abruptly changing tempos, creepy haunted-house melodies, extravagantly soaring vocals that turn to screams, demented spoken words, electrifying spasms of instrumental chaos, bits of darting electronica, episodes that sound like a mad carnival in progress, and more. ...

“A completely wild video for a completely wild song. ... Tempting as it is to provide some commentary about the video, it’s probably best to let you experience all of its head-spinning absurdity without any spoilers.”

Check it out here...

We have two premieres at our site today. The first of them was a new song by the legendary Wisconsin death metal band Viogression. The contrast between that one and the one we’re presenting now could hardly be more stark. I suspect that will be pleasing to the band who’s the focus of this [......

It's Psychedelic Baby Magazine has debuted "Pan's Daughter," the latest song to surface from Flummox's forthcoming LP Rephlummoxed (out April 1 from Needlejuice Records).

Inspired by Welsh writer Arthur Machen’s late-1800s horror/fantasy novella The Great God Pan, "Pan's Daughter" is "a sprawling epic in several movements, with Flummox exploring a proggy, mindbending fusion of monolithic doom, symphonic thrash & synth-laden blackened death metal," It's Psychedelic Baby writes.
