"Streetlights Are Lonely" by Frend

"Streetlights Are Lonely" by Frend A wonderful breeze of alternative pop blows in from Liverpool and lands in our blog, so to speak, where it runs riot in synthwave style and occasionally exudes a touch of 80s charm. The musician calls himself Frend and impresses with fresh, nostalgic sounds. The soulful tale of a romantic encounter is the theme of his latest release, "Streetlights Are Lonely."   From snow-covered bridges to lonely streetlights that only wake up at night, he brings the narrative to life. The loneliness of the streetlights and the automatic holding of the other person suggest a fusion of loneliness and newly discovered intimacy, showing how fleeting and precious such moments are - humanly complex emotions between hope and melancholy. Musically, as mentioned at the beginning, we move in the New Synthwave genre of the 2020s and get our money's worth.

"The Beautiful" by The Banquets

The Banquets

The Banquets

Roaring onto the music scene in 2019 with their rambunctious energy and unique blend of country, indie and rock, The Banquets have gone from strength to strength. From humble beginnings, supporting artists such as the South (formerly The Beautiful South) and Toyah Wilcox, as well as winning a place on the Introducing Stage at The Great British Folk Festival, they’ve recently gained the opportunity to play the famous Leeds Brudenell Social Club on a Saturday night and are rapidly building a name around the city.



The Beautiful

Inspiriert von einer Zeile eines Gedichtes von Emily Dickinson, in der es heißt: "Our summer made her light escape into the beautiful" und Gems, ihres Zeichens Leadsängerin der Band, andauerndem Kampf gegen Depressionen zeichnet die Story ein düsteres und nachdenkliches Bild, verbindet zugleich Melancholie und Enthusiasmus. Eine Sinuskurve des Lebens, mit erhöhter Frequenz.
Musikalisch wird experimentiert, String Arrangements und Effekte erzeugen Tiefe, die Bass Line, als Puls der Zeit, führt geschickt die Rhythmussektion, wo die Drums stets bereit sind zu pushen.
Wer glaubt dass hier schon Schluss ist, wird eines besseren belehrt, ein musikalisch gelungenes Experiment wird durch die Vocals in neue Sphären katapultiert um dort die Perfektion zu erlangen. Gems Performance im Zusammenspiel mit Leon, Tom Wallace und Francis Watson ein Schritt in eine andere Dimension. "The Beautiful" by The Banquets or the sound of an other Dimension.
