Song of The Day – Echo and The Empress “Balloon”
Pop/Indie
Coming out of Adelaide, South Australia are Echo and The Empress. A cute, poppy, sing along, feel good and let your worries fall away sister act, combining the talents of Beth on piano & vocals, Skye on guitar & vocals, along with the band featuring Sam on the drums and Elise on bass. Their self titled debut album was released on the 31st of March containing 12 tacks that are full of meaningful, dynamic and sincere music.
The opening song from the album “Balloon” (have a listen here) is bursting with great vocals helped along with some creative and intelligent use of delay. Sweet, harmonious, carefree, distinctive and confronting the song is driven along with a steady drum beat while the harmonies captivate you and pull you along.
They are playing two upcoming supporting shows in Adelaide
Song Of The Day – The Little Stevies “The Day We Went Away”
Pop/Indie
The Little Stevies are a wonderful traveling storybook from Melbourne that is gaining more and more readers with every show they perform. Their second Album “Attention shoppers” recorded in LA with Ethan Allan as Producer, brings a harder edge to their songs with more of a pop influence and slick strong rhythms. This tune “The Day We Went Away” has all of that and shows us some of the laid back folk that they are best know for as well. Though not as catchy as their previous song “Feel It” this offering still provides some great musical listening with beautiful 3 part harmonies singing honest, heart felt lyrics. I want to listen to this song as I drive along the coast road with a few of my best friends with no real destination in mind on a sunny, windy day. It is impossible to be unhappy whilst listening to the Little Stevies!!
On the up and up, The little stevies will go far with already two American tours under their belt, the international chapter to their story has begun. On their last tour abroad they performed at New York’s CMJ and Ottawa’s OCFF music conferences stealing the show, creating massive industry buzz and making heaps of friends and fans.
