Blue Control Love A Rondo

Instrumental music is hit and miss compared to songs with lyrics. I sometimes find myself disconnected with some of the instrumental music due to the lack of memorable grips and no lyrics to guide me through the tune. Other times, it can be the best kind of music as I dig it until my ears get all red after wearing a headphone the flamboyant music can speak for itself. 

Lehigh Valley, PA based instrumental duo, Blue Control is definitely the latter. Consisting of the pianist, Lea Cho and guitarist, Russ Warehouse, the duo speak their language through the keys. Banging on the piano and maneuvering resonant guitar riffs,  Blue Control take control of experimental jazz infused music in their latest release, Valley Tangents via Drag City. 

The first single off the album, Love A Rondo is in my playlist right now. The metronome tik-tak rhythm climbs up and down the synth ladder. Then the cheeky piano solo joins the melodic march, walking through the intriguing music notes. The dancer in a mask in the video also enhances each verse with his stalker dance moves. 

Blue Control is in town today to showcase their electrifying tune at the Shop at Parts & Labour

Sydney Wayser at the Supermarket on July 25th, 2012

Despite the terrible weather outside, thunderstorms and all, New York singer songwriter, Sydney Wayser lifted the air up with her  jubilant performance at the Supermarket on July 25th, 2012.

Shyly appearing on the stage with her fellas, the French-American songstress commenced crafting her jazz-infused beats filled with pop grips on her keyboard from her latest record, Bell Choir Coast. The uneasiness ceased from her face immediately after. She swayed herself  side to side with decorative vocal flourishing with the harmonies of the three piece on the stage. Her supporting band members, consisted of a guitarist and drummer, both created the chain of flawless verses, which coalesced in the middle with their minimal effort. 

To close the night, Wayser performed uplifting pop tune, Dream it up, which brightened up the air to the ceiling with boisterous tune, while jumping up and down. The audience at last started tapping and grooving the alluring tune simultaneously. I just wished that the stage wasn't occupied with all the tables and chairs up front. If it wasn't, it definitely had have created a hop step and jump right up at the front. 

Matt Paxton: Factory Town

When it comes to folk singer songwriters, the first thing that I think of is the simmering melodie of the stroking acoustic guitar jam. However, Hamilton singer songwriter, Matt Paxton, has broke out from the traditional notion of the genre with his synth mechanics, which leads him in a different direction from others on the same ground. 

His latest single, Factory Town, which is set to be released next Tuesday, July 31st via Other Songs Music Co. The synth beats coherent with smoothing harmonies and his soft whispering voice intrigues the listeners with the unique dynamics of three components. You can give a listen to the single below.
