Black Country, New Road – “Concorde”
What I could—and will—say about the new record, Ants From Up There, by Black Country, New Road is the exact same as what I said after viewing the “Concorde” video for the first time: not at ALL what I expected, but not mad about it.

BICEP – “APRICOTS”
The pale palette imbues “APRICOTS” with a dark energy; contrary to the video, the song reminds me of the vibrant fruit at its ripest, waiting to be bitten. BICEP | SnG coverage | website | Facebook | Twitter | Instagram | YouTube | Spotify | Soundcloud | Bandcamp Continue reading BICEP – “APRICOTS”
