Week in Review: New Songs / Music Videos You Need To Check Out (December 2-8, 2018)


Another week has come to a close and with it came a slew of new music for our enjoyment. Unfortunately, it can be difficult to catch all of it when it comes out. But with the weekend here, now is a great chance to catch up on all the new songs and music videos you may have missed.

Vinyl Bay 777, Long Island’s music outlet, loves new music. That’s why we’ve once again compiled a list of some of our favorite new songs and music videos from the past week. Here are six tracks you need to check out.


1.       Keuning, “Boat Accident”: The third single from The Killers guitarist Dave Keuning upcoming debut solo album, ‘Prismism,’ “Boat Accident” is a heavily 80s-inspired track pulling from the pop-ier reaches of the new wave sound. The grittiness of the recording and the Cars-like melody will transport you back in time. (video)

2.       Broken Bells, “Shelter”: Broken Bells, the duo of The Shins frontman James Mercer and producer Danger Mouse, are back with their first new song in three years, “Shelter.” The song is the perfect mix of electronic groove and indie dreaminess, making it both airy and grounded at the same time. It’s a nice track to just kick back and relax to. (video)

3.       Mike Shinoda, “Can’t Hear You Now”: I love the message of “Can’t Hear You Now.” The song talks about ignoring the voices that try to bring you down and being positive to yourself. Those powerful lyrics are supported by a thumping beat and simple but catchy melody that grow in intensity that will have you grooving along and having fun, presumably like Shinoda is in the video.

4.       Guided By Voices, “My Future In Barcelona”: “My Future In Barcelona” is a pretty straight-forwardly indie-rock track. The song brings together clean guitars and consistent drum beat into a slowly swirling melody that will have you grooving along. (video)

5.       Tullycraft, “Passing Observations”: After six years, Tullycraft announced they will be releasing a new album next year, as well as gave fans a taste with its first single, “Passing Observations.” The song is a fun, upbeat track that combines the wit of They Might Be Giants with a sound reminiscent of Guster. It’s also has a very catchy melody and hook, so it will be tough to get out of your head after listening. (video)

6.       J.S. Ondara, “Saying Goodbye”: J.S. Ondara’s latest single “Saying Goodbye” shows off the up-and-coming blues/R&B singer’s smooth voice. The slow cadence and harmonious vocals together build a sort of sincerity for the story-like lyrics of the song. It’s more bluesy than soulful, highlighting it’s sad and contemplative nature.
