Song of The Day – FLOATING ME “Sugar”

Rock / Progressive / Alternative Rock

If you haven’t come across or heard about Floating Me yet, it is about time you do! Their debut self-titled album appeared on shelves on the 15th of April and “Sugar” the lead single from it, has also been out a while. Making up the five members of Floating Me are: From Scarymother Andrew Gillespie – Vox, Antony Brown – Guitars & Tobias Messiter – Keys, from COG there is  Lucius Borich on Drums and finally from Karnivool we have Jon Stockman playing bass. The potential and experience that this band have between them is huge.

Any fan of the band members original musical projects won’t be disappointed and will enjoy the result of this bold combination. Containing many different influences from the various band members previous work, to a small resemblance of tool and all in between, Floating Me have produced some unique music that can also be enjoyed by those new to the style. It is experimental and is constantly changing direction, whilst keeping the same tense atmosphere throughout. Heavy when it needs to be without having an overbearing  massive chorus. The voice of Andrew Gillespie is imposing with its strong low range.

All the band members possess amazing talent and worlds of experience that allows them to write creative music that flows so well it is as if they have been playing together for years. There is a great film clip to go with the song and if you don’t know what to expect, the first listen can seem wearisome, but it will warm to you, or you to it, then you can really enjoy Floating Me.

Song of The Day – The Trouble With Templeton “Bleeders”

Alternative/Folk

“Bleeders” is a sensational song full of emotion, every single piece of the song lends itself perfectly to delivering the story within. Thomas Calder is the voice and wonder that is otherwise known as “The Trouble With Templeton” and his song “Bleeders” is bursting with passion, agony and intensity. The strings give it a deep depth and Thomas’ voice is smooth and gentle but he can fill a line with a cold ruthlessness if need be, that is what makes this song stand out from other singer songwriter productions. As well, the mood of the song shifts throughout and the quicker tempo lifts the song into a new found ferocity letting off all the rage and scorn that the song relates to.
