Producer Alec Cudmore is doing something special with his project Rip My Bottom Lip. Songs like Academia present innovative compositions with exciting alt pop flash. The affect is curiously catchy, mostly cause it doesn’t directly reflect the mainstream though its entirely approachable. We hear an influence of Radiohead, James Blake and Joji. The experimental tendencies take hold in the vibrant rap section. Rip My Bottom Lip conforms to no one.
The exciting energetic single Intro and Exits features a duet that includes an intoxicating vocal performance by Grace Roberson. The combination of the two verses offers cinematic significance, like a musical conversation. The producer blends the auras of electronic and indie rock effectively, recalling the breakout work of Del Water Gap with the electro appeal of Passion Pit. The comparisons are just to paint a stylistic scope. Alec Cudmore is crafting his own sound, embracing his truth as a recording artist, using the tools to mold intricate compositions full of surprise and progressive drama.

We got lost in the dreamy chorus drenched nostalgia of Busy, the new single from Modern Daze. There’s a huge spectrum of influence within this intoxicating release. Doses of 80s alternative, shoegaze, and grunge all have a stake in this sound. Adding new instincts known to 5th wave emo bands like Turnover and Balance and Composure, Modern Daze blends something special within the canon of rock.
Busy is catchy and addictive without a defined moment. The song is its own entity, like a musical token that fires back this gem every time you spin it through the machine.

RIP Dunes caught our attention with their new single In Real Life. This dreamy layered arrangement recalls late 90s indie troubadours Doves. RIP Dunes would have fit right in on their iconic label Astrelwerks. We also hear evidence of Echo &The Bunnymen and even more recent indie breakouts like The War On Drugs and Lo Moon. It’s a testament to the singles epic anthemic nature and expansive layers.
The passionate vocal performance brings a candid brilliance. That affect is matched by the possessed guitar solo and overall shimmering stacked layers. If there’s such a thing as dream rock, this is it.
