ftlmarvinforte — Wed, 30 Oct 2024 16:52:41 +0000

The trio of indie-rock-tronica songs, titled "Besides Ourselves", offers a unique blend of pop melodies and rock elements. The opening track, "Everybody's Heart is in Pieces", paints a hopeful yet dystopian picture of the past, present, and future. Lead singer Leroy Bocchieri's fusion of pop sensibilities and rock edge keeps listeners captivated. "Always Something" takes listeners on an ethereal and introspective journey, pondering our existence and place in the world. With hints of Costello's poignant vibes, "Nothing's How it Used to Be" delves into nostalgia and reflection on the passage of time through guitar-driven melodies. Downloadable, 320 bit-rate MP3

“The Pentagon, In Levitation” by Aleutian Drift – Digital Single

ftlmarvinforte — Sun, 14 Jan 2024 21:26:35 +0000

Opening with a fanfare of sirens on stolen fenders, and cascading relentlessly forward with hefty rhythm and driving guitars and vocals, “The Pentagon, in Levitation” offers a post-punk tribute to our ancestors who participated in the anti-Vietnam war ‘March on the Pentagon’ on October 21, 1967. A small but dedicated contingent within this group were convinced that they might be able to levitate The Pentagon if they focused their energies hard enough (well maybe they did, who knows).

“André Breton!” by Aleutian Drift – Digital Single

ftlmarvinforte — Sun, 14 Jan 2024 21:17:38 +0000

Post-punk vibes inspired by André Robert Breton who was a French writer and poet, the co-founder, leader, and principal theorist of surrealism. Minimalistic but earnest depiction with drive and directness.

Secret Silent Night
The Only Gift I Need

As the latest pairing of songs in her extensive discography, Come December stands as a gift for Pamela’s fans. This gift includes both the mental storybook created by listeners through her creative lyrics and smooth tone, and also the EP’s two songs for the price of one.

Secret Silent Night

“This song is for the kid who may feel lonely or out of place, but who is reminded of the wonder, joy, and possibilities of life when they see the glow of holiday lights. I think about being a kid and coming home on the bus after school when it was dark out and feeling my heart lift as I saw the houses all lit up on the route home. It really mattered to me.”

The Only Gift I Need

“I wrote this song about what truly defines Christmas in my heart. Precious time with my family and friends. Strangers smiling and wishing each other ‘Happy Holidays.’ Singing ‘Silent Night’ on Christmas Eve at Church while holding a candle especially reminds me of my Grandma who is no longer with us. Even though I enjoy everything about the holidays – from the lights to the music to gift giving to food and cookies –those special moments I celebrate most.”

“Santa don’t you worry about me

Oh yes, I still believe

If I sing ‘Silent Night’ in the candlelight

On Christmas Eve

That’s the only gift I need
