Noisey Premiered Guts Club’s “Pansy From the Hills”

“After three albums I realized that confidence is a powerful tool that I should constantly push towards the foreground in my music. I’ve spent too long on the sidelines watching cishet dudes forcefully distribute their weight in every direction so they are essentially engulfing whole stages and entire audiences. I’ve learned to take absolute pride in all of this because it’s the only thing I’ll every truly own.” – Lindsey Baker/Guts Club

The 10X “Think of Me”

“Think of Me” is an all encompassing retro vibe with a distinctly classic pop aesthetic. Hints and spurts of the 1980’s permeate the melody and coinciding arrangement, with glittering synths filling in the space between thoughtful lyrics and a rhythm that pounds like a nervous heartbeat. Like the music itself, the song is deeply reminiscent, with lyrics that question whether a past lover ever thinks of them, while clinging to the memories of the love that once existed between them. If only for a moment. From the pounding rhythm to the lyrical exploration of a past relationship, this track is bound to take you back in time, one way or the other.
