Indie Rockers Somedays return with another banger in ‘Knock Out’
Drenched to the bone with strange atmospherics and modulation, ‘Knockout’ ostensibly takes its cues from the Brian Wilson notebook of oddball surf rock. Sounding like a gritty and frenetic call to arms, Knockout goes through 5 key changes in 2 minutes and 34 seconds, all the while going from one singalong to the other. At the minute mark the song blooms into a lysergic krautrock-influenced wig-out that washes over the listener like an awesome wave. “The hardest part of recording this song was getting the mistakes to be just right” says rhythm guitarist Eugenio, “Gege” to his bandmates – “We had to go against our own sense of timing to get that swaying jump that you hear right from the first chord – we had to record the part over and over till it felt just, well, wrong.”

Phil Cook Releases New Track “The Truth”
About the song, Cook says, “’The Truth’ is a song that kicked around in my head for a long time. The first lyrics that came were “Do You Wanna Know or Don’t You Wanna Know.” We find ourselves in this crucial time in history where agreeing on facts feels like it’s slipping away. How can we hope to have real conversations about how we move forward as a country, as a people, if two sides can only see their own narrative’s opinions as facts? We all tell ourselves stories that we are guided by as we make choices and mistakes. We all have the capacity to lie to ourselves to help make that narrative fit. We’re only human, of course. But, also, we’re humans for god’s sake.”

Big Search Unveils “To Feel In Love” on Danger Mouse’s 30th Century Records
Today, Big Search shares a stunning rendition of “To Feel In Love,” originally released by Lucio Battisti in 1977. The Italian love song is emotionally stirring and sonically full, qualities not uncommon to Big Search’s own output. Matt Popieluch is a West Coast troubadour known for playing with the likes of Cass McCombs, Papercuts, Glasser and Sky Ferreira, but performing as Big Search, his music boasts a satisfying semblance to sounds of an earlier time. Nostalgic but inventive, he hits a sweet spot between Tom Petty and Kevin Morby, Neil Young and Sam Cohen. Big Search’s sophomore album is due in 2019 on 30th Century Records.
