The freshest music to hit the airwaves on Impact 89FM is shared with you each week!
Hi. Welcome back to the new music dispatch. I'm your host, Becky, the program director.
Speaker 2:I am your other host, Sydney, the music director.
Speaker 3:And we have a lot of music coming out for you guys. You know, we took that break last week. It was MSU's fall break, so we we we took a step back, didn't add anything new, but Sid came in with, like, 40,000,000,000.
Speaker 2:With the hot hitter, you know, the home run right there.
Speaker 3:There's a really I feel like there's a total, Electro elect pop theme Lots going on of synths, not a lot of like normal
Speaker 2:songs.
Speaker 3:Yeah, you brought me a lot of weird stuff since.
Speaker 2:I did, but I mean, it's just kind of to awaken the senses and then to get back to where we were.
Speaker 3:Yeah, we're getting through that mid semester slump.
Speaker 2:No. Exactly. We're trying to pick everybody up, not bring them down.
Speaker 3:Yes. Oh, so beautiful. Well, starting off, we have we have water on your nose by Not For Radio off the album Melt. Oh, it was so dreamy. I really loved it.
Speaker 3:It reminded me of Men I Trust and, like, with, like, there was, like, this distant bass line that was cool. And the string layering was great. There was, like, a piano. Like, they really they they hit you hard with the reverb with they hit you hard with the reverb here, so I was eating it up. I I literally wrote, oh my god.
Speaker 3:I think I said it out loud. Like, I was just in awe. And who is this, Syd?
Speaker 2:This is the Maria's. Her name is Maria, last name that I don't know. I should know that. Yeah. But this is her debut solo release that she did.
Speaker 2:And like, I was completely blindsided by it. I didn't know if anybody else was. I don't know if she was like, hey, guys, like, this was a thing that I'm gonna do or if she was just like, bam, it's released. Hey, this is something that I'm doing now. Yeah.
Speaker 2:But yeah, I also was a thousand percent here for it and into it. I remember the first time that I saw the Maria's live and she's definitely gotten better as like a live performer I think since I last saw her because when I saw her all she did was like sway back and forth and you know. But I also do really like like her sound is like that wispy vocals and then like heavier bass instrumentals like the like you really bring the bass forward in that. So I like that as Bring the bass. Bring action.
Speaker 2:Yeah.
Speaker 3:That song was good. Next, we have a couple tracks from They're Gutting a Body of Water. We have Sour Diesel and Violence Eye because we listened to both we're gonna add both off their new album Lotto what did you think about these tracks Sid?
Speaker 2:I thought that okay so is it Violence I I I or Violence three?
Speaker 3:Violence violence three, but, like, they spelled it I I I. So, like, what am I what what if it's this crazy stylistic choice that I don't simply know anything about?
Speaker 2:Like, me when I'm trying to talk about myself, but I get a little nervous. Hi. Hi. Hi. Wow.
Speaker 2:That was beautiful. Sorry about that you all. Anyway, so I like Violins three a little bit more than I like Sour Diesel. I think that I just genuinely like this body of work though, like the album itself. It had a lot of like, I don't know, I guess weirder stuff in there but I think these songs are like the most like tame ones I guess.
Speaker 2:But it's super like noisy and like, you know, stuff like that which I really like. And I just I don't know. I like the art direction of it as well with just like not only the songs, but also just like the artists and stuff Mhmm. And how they kind of like portray themselves. So Yeah.
Speaker 2:Yeah. Just cool stuff.
Speaker 3:I I liked it. We have a couple of their songs on Fuzz. I'm not really
Speaker 2:Oh, really?
Speaker 3:Mhmm. I had no idea.
Speaker 2:I'm not
Speaker 3:really a huge fan, but
Speaker 2:This kinda sounds like this song kinda sounds like Crave by Paramore. Oh. It's if you haven't listened to that song, it's so good. Wow. Crave by Paramore.
Speaker 2:It's like it's like honestly that's how I feel about graduating is that song.
Speaker 3:Yeah. Every day I'm learning more and more that you're a big Paramore fan.
Speaker 2:Oh my goodness, dude. I literally, I had like an iPad mini back in the day, way back in the in the way back. And I would solely like watch Parabore music videos on And there, like all the it would be like the lyric
Speaker 3:music videos as well where it's like, so I can sing along.
Speaker 1:That's awesome.
Speaker 3:Was my childhood. Actually in my bedroom. That's so sweet. Yeah, what were your thoughts? Yeah, on this song, really like the lead guitar lick.
Speaker 3:Like, there's some high guitars that are, like, kind of only in my right ear, which is cool. And then I just like the production. The vocals were nice, like how they layered.
Speaker 2:Yeah. And all that. Nice. So up next, have Good Flying Birds. Their song, Pulling Hair off of the album, Tallulah's tape, which is Love A Good Alliteration.
Speaker 2:So with that song, I was, I, when we were listening to it just briefly, I could not put my finger on who they sounded Oh, yeah, was actually debate. Yeah. The great debate genuinely. It started to like actually get to me mentally, but I kind of found out that I felt like they sounded a little like Beach Bunny, little Beach Bunny dupe. I think the vocalists kind of sound very similar, but still different at the same time.
Speaker 2:So I think that's cool. And the beginning is a little bit different. Do you wanna speak on
Speaker 3:what your thoughts are? The beginning, like, I thought my heart stopped. Like, I was like, did I hear that right? So basically the tempo, like, just increases over the span of, like, ten seconds and it increases like crazy. Like, I could not believe my ears.
Speaker 3:I have never heard anything like that in my life. So I was in shock. It definitely caught my attention.
Speaker 2:Right.
Speaker 3:But the vocals, I mean, yeah, I felt like it was something that I heard before. So it didn't really impress me from there. But wow, that drummer's good. That drummer's really
Speaker 2:yeah. Props to you, drummer. So up next, we have Alex Ferns. Is that how you say it? Alex?
Speaker 2:A l I x?
Speaker 3:He's French. Yeah. Alex. Alex.
Speaker 2:Alex. Yes. Up next we have Alex Ferns track with an exclamation point off of who knows French influence.
Speaker 3:That was great.
Speaker 2:Was not even
Speaker 3:Oh my god, I believed it.
Speaker 2:Imagine I just cracked out that I was super French. That's awesome. I actually was born in France, believe it or not. Wow. In my imagination.
Speaker 2:Anyway, so this is so up my alley personally. I love things that are a little weird. It literally made me say he he he, but the name of the track is which is crazy. And it makes me want to do the Macarena.
Speaker 3:I don't know. I don't know.
Speaker 2:Not often do songs make me want to do the Macarena, but that
Speaker 3:one really can't believe it was this one. What about this song is like, I gotta do the synchronized dance.
Speaker 2:I gotta do the Macarena. Everybody get in, get in line, get in line.
Speaker 1:But what about the song made you watch?
Speaker 2:It's just the way that it was just bumping. Like, I don't know, like, anytime I hear something that just bumps on a track, it makes you wanna bust a move. It makes you wanna dance.
Speaker 3:Get up. Okay, Pierce.
Speaker 2:Love it.
Speaker 3:I can't wait to see those dances tonight. I hope you bust out the marcarena.
Speaker 2:I will, but I I would need a I would need a a friend to help out.
Speaker 3:Okay. I'll be there for you. Yes. Liked it. It was very Sid.
Speaker 3:It's super. It's so new. It's so new with I liked it. And like it once I realized that he was French, it all like clicked in my head. Was like, no, like only someone from Europe could make something like this.
Speaker 3:No. Really, truly. They don't got this in America. That's why that's why it was a bit strange to me. But it's it was cool.
Speaker 3:It was fun. Yeah. Up next, we have oh. I like this. Up next, have inferno from last dinner party of their album from the pyre.
Speaker 3:I just love their theatrics. Like, I can hear their performance. Like, I can just feel their emotion. And their performance is always so in sync with, like, the chord progressions and the instrumentation they choose. Like, it's so their creative vision is just, like, so in line with everything they do.
Speaker 3:And I really appreciate that. And I feel like I'm in choir class. Like, I like their harmonies a lot.
Speaker 2:Yeah. No. I would have to agree on, like, the vocals aspect. This is the first time that I've ever heard the, like, like, more melodic vocals from the lead singer. I've only heard like The Last Dinner Party's more harder stuff rather than they're like, you know, more like I said, melodic stuff.
Speaker 2:So I really did like that and I felt like I was dancing. And I feel like this song is what I would dance in a white dress to, but not a wedding dress.
Speaker 3:Oh. We're not getting
Speaker 2:married here, but we're just kind of vibing out. Okay. Wow.
Speaker 3:Your graduation dress?
Speaker 2:Yes. This is what I'm gonna play when I graduate.
Speaker 3:Our next song is infrared by Dia off their new album till every pedal drops. So picture this. We're in a warehouse. Where's this warehouse?
Speaker 2:This this warehouse is in Kentucky, but it's a Zara warehouse. The backlot Zara warehouse. That's where we
Speaker 3:are when you're listening to this song.
Speaker 2:Yes.
Speaker 3:Yeah, I liked how echoey the synths were. I really, I really quite like the end that kind of sealed the deal on me like enjoying this song because I liked how like thick the synth was. It was cool.
Speaker 2:I really like the ending as well. I think that like if you were to imagine, right, you're in a warehouse and it's in Kentucky and it's also a Zara warehouse where like everything's in like bags and with the big plastic bags with Zara lettering on it And there's a DJ and you do your like dancing to it. And then all of a sudden, you get blasted into an alternate reality where the rave of like biblically accurate angels is and you're just like there and you're like what the heck? Where did I just get transported into? That's what the end of that song sounded like to me.
Speaker 2:At a loss
Speaker 3:for words.
Speaker 2:That's the way your mind works.
Speaker 3:Thank you. That was beautiful.
Speaker 2:Thank you. Of course. Up next, have Living Hour, Stainless Steel Dream off of their new album, Internal Drone. What are your thoughts on this album?
Speaker 3:The intro What's up with these weird intros? The intro was a little unsettling. I just it definitely made me pay attention. What happened at the end of the song?
Speaker 2:Right. I don't know.
Speaker 3:I don't know. The intro was just so jarring. It was like just electronic like Well, that's not what it sounded like.
Speaker 2:No, it kind of sounds like if you were to you know, what is that thing called where they rub the two things together and go, Clear.
Speaker 3:Oh, yeah. Whatever that is. That's kind of what felt.
Speaker 2:Yeah, that's kind of what the beginning gives you. I also felt unsettled, but I think I loved it. I love when you don't know what's happening, especially when you're listening to music. It's like, oh shoot, what are they gonna do next? It was kinda like the new Blood Orange album, where the beginning, the intros and outros to each song were a little just wonky.
Speaker 3:Oh yeah, yeah. Totally.
Speaker 2:And I just Oh, that's cool. I liked that. I like it when people do weird things with music because it's like, it's an art form, do weird stuff, right? Anyway, up next, we have the Barr Brothers, another tangerine off of their album, Let It Hiss. I feel like this was super like a Midwest spring album almost.
Speaker 2:Like, it's beautiful. It's acoustic in so many different wonderful ways. It's kind of like taking like a hazy nap in tall grass with the wind blowing. Wow. It's very Studio Ghibli ordeals and stuff.
Speaker 3:What did what did you what were your thoughts? My thoughts are a lot more blunt. Oh, Folk, this we got something for the folk fans. If you like folk, Noah Conn fans, come here. Come here.
Speaker 2:Come on, folks. Do we got
Speaker 3:a song for you? Do we got a song? That's all.
Speaker 2:Right. And lastly, we have the Sudan Archives song A Bug's Life off of their album The BPM. What was your thoughts on this?
Speaker 3:I thought it was fun. I mean, it's like, I I'm a bit hesitant because it is like house music. Right. But why not just throw a house song in there?
Speaker 2:That's my thoughts exactly.
Speaker 3:And I I don't know. I thought I thought it was cool. I like I really liked the beat. I really liked the vocals. Like, I thought it was pretty well produced.
Speaker 3:I don't really listen to house music, so I don't know. Right. Like, maybe it's not. But to me, it
Speaker 2:was great. Yeah. No. I think that I think that trickling in a few or like sprinkling in a few songs that aren't necessarily exactly like the Indie Garage Yeah. Alternatives route that we always go to down, like helps people like how you're saying you're like, I don't often listen to this.
Speaker 2:So if somebody is listening in and they're like, I don't often listen to this, it gives them that chance to experience that other sound. Right. Yeah. Yeah. But it's very vibey and it feels like a song that I would want to move to, you know, get the feet going.
Speaker 2:I completely agree. Right. So that's all of the music that we have today. But I do have to ask you that age old question. What is your dispatch
Speaker 3:decision? Decision. Oh, no. Right. I don't know.
Speaker 3:I mean, I hate to pick, like, the bigger artist, but to me, it's between not for radio Mhmm. And the last dinner party. But
Speaker 2:No, it's okay.
Speaker 3:I'm just trying to be different and not pick Maria from the Marias,
Speaker 2:but if you do, it's okay.
Speaker 3:She's up there for a reason. Not for radio to me was the goat. I just love that type of music. I loved I loved how dreamy it was. She's unbeatable.
Speaker 3:She's unfierceness. Yeah,
Speaker 2:let's say that. Sorry. Was unbeatable. What was yours? My dispatch decision for today is probably going to be Dia, infrared till every pedal drops.
Speaker 2:I just love when we get a little weird. Also did I'm working out. Like honorable mention to living hours stainless steel dream just because of that unsettlingness. I love just when people just get a little weirded out by stuff.
Speaker 3:Yeah. It worked. Happy Halloween.
Speaker 2:Happy Halloween, you guys. Well, thank you all so much for tuning in with us today, this wonderful Monday. I hope that you all had a wonderful break Halloween weekend. Yeah. Halloween.
Speaker 2:Yeah. Stay spooky, guys.
