Consequence Of Sound Premieres New Single ‘Prism’ By Small Leaks Sink Ships

Prism is the first of a four track EP titled ‘Polaroid People’ that we will be releasing over the next few months. The writing process of these songs turned out to be a daunting but rewarding experience. We originally spent about 6 months in and out of the studio working on these tracks only to get to the point where we collectively felt unsatisfied with the finished product… it seemed as if we had over worked the songs. At first we were bogged down by our own disapproval, but inevitably picked ourselves up and within two weeks, ended up re-writing two of the songs, squashed the other two and wrote a couple new ones from scratch. We went back in the studio and really let it all out, had fun and took our hands off the wheel a bit.

Anne Deming asserts feminine power in new video

Midwest Singer-Songwriter Anne Deming is back with a new album, and we’ve teamed up with For Folks Sake to unveil lead single “No Escape”. In our opinion, it’s her strongest work yet, channelling Jack White-esque guitars that perfectly complement her powerful vocals. The eddies of feedback and reverb give the track a dark undercurrent that set’s Deming apart from contemporary folk artists.
