Another week has come and gone, and with it came a slew of
new music for our listening pleasure. That was especially true with rock and
pop, as new tracks from the likes of Ellie Goulding, King Gizzard & the
Lizard Wizard, Silversun Pickups, The Chainsmokes, Mark Ronson and more hit the
internet this week.
Vinyl Bay 777, Long Island’s music outlet, loves new music.
That’s why we’ve once again scoured the internet for the week’s hottest new
songs and music videos. Here are 10 (and a few more) that we think will make a
great addition to your weekend listening.
1.
Foster
The People, “Style”: “Style’s” pounding beat sets the tone for this dark,
heavy synth-rock track. The beginning is very anthemic and confident with a
stride you can strut to. It sounds a bit like a Muse track with less
distortion. (video)
2.
King Gizzard & The Lizard Wizard, “Planet B”:
King Gizzard try their hand at metal with “Planet B,” a rock track with heavy
guitars and growly vocals. It’s a very different sound from “Fishing For
Fishies,” which means this album is sure to be one eclectic, interesting piece.

3.
Otoboke Beaver, “Datsu, Hikage No Onna”: Though
the song is in Japanese, the intensity of the band’s delivery on “Datsu, HIkage
No Onna” breaks the language barrier. It’s short, fast and loud; exactly what
you want from a punk track. (video)
4.
Matt Kivel, “Two Braids”: Ordinarily, I would
say that “Two Braids” was too low key for me. However, there is something about
the beat and the soft instrumentals that are entrancing. (video)
5.
Silversun Pickups, “It Doesn’t Matter Why”: With
a rumbling bass line and hurried pacing, “It Doesn’t Matter Why” is a quick,
heart-pounding track. It’s a solid, upbeat melody that at times evokes a bit of
fear, but mostly just fast-paced toe-tapping. (video)
6.
Claud, “If I Were You”: “If I Were You” is an
upbeat, catchy acoustic pop track that will have you humming along on first
listen. The melody is a bit 90s girl power singer-songwriter, which is a great
vibe. (video)
7.
Pure Bathing Culture, “All Night”: “All Night” is
a synth-y track that sounds directly out of the 1980s. The buzzy guitar adds a
nice flair to this dreamy, semi-upbeat track. (video)
8.
Jeanines, “Either Way”: Right out of the gate, “Either
Way” grabs your attention with a burst of guitar energy that will leave you bopping
your head for the entire minute and a half. The vocals are a bit more muted
than the instrumental, sounding almost atmospheric among them. (bandcamp)
9.
Ellie Goulding, “Sixteen”: “Sixteen” is a
nostalgic pop track that’s a bit more down to earth than some of her previous
singles. It’s still heavily produced, but the electronic elements don’t
overshadow the point of the song. (video)
10.
Craig’s Brother, “Follow Your Heart”: “Follow
Your Heart” sends a heartfelt message telling listeners to listen to their
hearts and find their happiness as they rip through a quick-paced pop-punk
melody. The song will bring a tear to your eye and a smile to your face as you
rock out. (video)
