Color Palette Reveal New Single "Rear View"

Washington, DC indie rock/dream pop/indie-psych band Color Palette (led by Jay Nemeye) have revealed their new single "Rear View".

The song is is the first single off of a new full-length album, which will be released later this year/early next year. Get it here.

From the band: "Rear View" is an upbeat + dancy indie rock jam. It's a breakup song - the kind of breakup song that evokes independence and positivity, aptly summarized by the chorus lyric "press restart and I'm on my way". Musically, it falls somewhere in between Yeah Yeah Yeahs x Metric (lots of synths, hard hitting drums, big guitars).

New Entry: Color Palette Unleash Double Single "River / Lazy Lovers"

Washington, DC indie rock/dream pop/indie-psych band Color Palette (led by Jay Nemeye) have unleashed their new double single "River" / "Lazy Lovers".

Nemeye words: "Me + Kyle (and Joanna + Kate) went to a cabin in a remote ass part of Michigan last summer. We brought a few guitars + other small pieces of gear with us - and we ended up writing and recording demos for 8 songs. “River” and “Lazy Lovers” were part of that batch. After we fleshed them out back in DC, Abby laid down some killer backing vocals / harmonies. Nico did an awesome job mastering, and Navid absolutely slayed the cover art. We think these songs have a super summery / dreamy vibe to them - and it felt appropriate to release them together, the summer after they were originally written. Whenever I listen to these songs, I’m always transported back to that old cozy cabin on the bank of the Michigamme river."

Watch: Junk Drawer Reveal New Single/Video "Railroad King"

Irish indie-psych/art rock/lo-fi band Junk Drawer have revealed the video for their new single "Railroad King".

The song is taken from their forthcoming EP 'The Dust Has Come To Stay', which will be available on March 11 through Art For Blind Records. Pre-order your copy here.

Recorded with Chris Ryan (Just Mustard, NewDad, Robocobra Quartet), "Railroad King" signposts another exciting release from Junk Drawer who are made up of four multi-instrumentalists: brothers, Stevie Lennox and Jake Lennox, Brian Coney and Rory Dee. The new single really turns the dial on the 60s-inspired garage-rock tones of the quartet who frequently turn to their crate-digging sensibilities for inspiration: Deerhoof, The Cleaners From Venus, Spacemen 3, Ween, Richard Dawson and Television.

Speaking about it, Jake says: "I’d written the lyrics to this song before I’d realised I was on the autistic spectrum, but the lyrics made total sense once the realisation hit. It’s about not wanting to be away from the public world, adventuring happily with my imagination; walking by myself and making up songs etc. It also references the autistic feeling of feeling like my body is just a vessel that I want to ‘zip off’ to be my true self. 

Lyrically, as I noodled through the main melody, the primary influence was Bob Dylan’s “I Shall Be Free”. During the writing sessions for the song as I was improvising, one of the repeated verses became “I just walk along and stroll and sing. I see better days and I do better things.” Folk music has always been my favourite genre and I always subconsciously bring in those kinds of songwriting elements rather than more modern rock formats. For example, this song has no chorus as such, but it has a refrain at the end of each verse that performs that function. I much prefer that style, it means I can play with the rhyming a bit more and I can add more words."
