The Big Takeover shares a new High Water Marks song

TRACK PREMIERE

More music today from the upcoming new album by The High Water Marks! "Reason Vs. Truth" is a deep cut from the record premiering today over at The Big Take Over.

I hope I'm not being tracked when I post this, but Hilarie Sidney provided the following: "This song is about a guy who tried to run away from a lot of trouble. We heard that he might or might not be a member of The Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn. He doesn’t know that we know that he knows." Well!

Proclaimer of Things is out February 4 from Minty Fresh with vinyl goodness to follow shortly thereafter.

VIDEO PREMIERE


"Irrepressible blues. Brilliant stuff, beautifully shot," says Backseat Mafia today of the PULP Productions-created video for J Hacha De Zola’s “Faded," J's personal favorite tune on his current album East of Eden.

“J's music is an ode to strangeness, an invitation to dream and wander through dark, deeply poetic tales," says director/editor Victoria Rio. "The video was shot in a gorgeous derelict townhouse in the heart of London. We were incredibly lucky to be able to film in this location.”

Americana Highways premieres Linda Draper's "'81 Camaro" and includes it on the "New Americana" Spotify playlist

Video Premiere


I'm excited about the way Linda Draper manages to infuse this easy-breezy country number, “’81 Camaro,” with candid, emotional ambiguity, a trademark traceable to her anti-folk roots. It's the trick of a master and Linda brings the same energy to the video (featuring authentic country line-dancing filmed at Cowboys in Orlando). She tells us, “I have never had more fun making a music video. We shot it in Orlando, partially at Fun Spot amusement park, checking out the coolest classic car show in town, playing games in the arcade, going on rides, and drinking beer.”

Americana Highways has the video premiere and writes that the song carries “feelings of longing, in a delightfully blended brew." The site has also featured the track on its new "New Americana" Spotify playlist, a veritable treasure trove of great new songs. I love when artists discover kindred spirits this way, as Linda did this weekend when she discovered Julian Taylor’s tune "It's Not Enough" and promptly knocked out a TikTok cover. Julian says, “I’ve never had anyone on TikTok sing along with one songs. Thank you Linda. You made my day :-)” If you’re on TikTok, why not give Linda a follow?
