There have been some really solid LP’s, from Dirty Projectors’ self titled work, to Mother Mother’s “No Culture”, as well as new work from Said The Whale, Khalid, and Thundercat.
MILKY CHANCE SONGS FULL
These records have produced some great music, but nothing has been able to truly capture my mind and get me excited about listening and writing about music.īut at a time where seemingly nothing was sparking my interest “Blossom” barged into my soul full throttle. It has acted as an important motivator, not only through sheer enjoyment and excitement to listen to, but as a piece of work that has inspired me to write, and play music. Initially, I was quick to dismiss Milky Chance when they first came on the scene in 2013. “Stolen Dance” got annoying really quick after garnering mass radio play, and that was enough to deter me from engaging with their album. I’m not sure what changed in 2017, perhaps some growth as a human, perhaps some desperation, but regardless of the reason, Milky Chance sold me.
Now, as someone who listens more for catchy and fresh instrumentation, lyrics are often lost on me. I listen to the vocal melodies of course, but song meaning and story telling is less important to me than overall feels, and vibes. “Blossom” has a very summertime vibe, whether it be by the campfire or driving down the road at 2 am blasting music it all fits. When you close your eyes, you can feel the tropical vibes on tracks like “Cold Blue Rain” and “Bad Things”. “Cold Blue Rain” is very reminiscent of a Cage the Elephant song for me. From the southern vibe to the lyrical delivery, it certainly seems like there was some inspiration there. Not to say that should deter you from listening, as Milky Chance still adds their imprint with an awesome harmonica melody. “Bad Things” took a while to stick out to me, but on my latest listen, I realized how golden this track is. No song captures the dreamy and tropical vibe of the album better than this one, and the chemistry on the duet, is sure to resonate with most listeners.
You can really feel the passion and overall energy throughout the song, and for that matter, the entire album.Īlbum highlights come by way of the radio friendly, and poppy “Cocoon”. The pop structure is harnessed and manipulated to perfection as we get this incredibly catchy chorus, with squeaky clean production and a wonderful guitar melody.
