Dream Generation
“She’s So Wild”
2015
Simplicity and repetition can be powerful in the right hands. They can make a moment feel bigger. A melody more memorable. A song more endearing. “She’s So Wild” is the latest from Chris Keene’s Dream Generation solo project. It is bigger, more memorable and more endearing than it ought to be. It’s exactly what it needs to be.
Where to get it:
Ruby Rose Fox
“Blue Angel”
2015
Team up Ruby Rose Fox’s vocals with a ripper of a tune and you’ve got a song worthy of the repeat button. “Blue Angel” layers hand claps, big backing vocals, ample amounts of reverb and a touch of fuzz on top of a pocket groove. The whole thing is dipped in the most soulful vocals found on either side of the Charles for a number that melts into your ears and fills your heads with a snappy sound. You’ll be humming it for days.

The Static Dynamic
“Spotlight”
2015
If “Relentless” served as my pre-Rumble introduction to The Static Dynamic, “Spotlight” puts an exclamation point on the whole experience. This song, like the band, is arena ready and made for the big stages. A wistful intro leads into a driving, fist-pumping anthem. The sound is huge. The execution is precise. The Static Dynamic aren’t messing around. Go ahead and sing along.

Gracie
“Jesse”
2014
Self described “bummer jam” artist Gracie delivers on that stylistic promise. “Jesse” is a dissonant, down-tempo number. At the risk of being cheekily alliterative, I could have thrown desperate, droning, dreary or dirge-like into that mix. It’s depressing stuff, for sure, but darkness can be therapeutic. Sometimes being in a funk is good for the soul. Misery loves company. Darkest before dawn. All that jazz. Here’s your soundtrack. Besides, the fuzzed out guitar melodies and angelic backing vocals sound good enough to crack at least a bit of a smile, no matter your mood.
