Best New Rock – Animal Scream, Livingmore, The Virginia Planes, ARK IDENTITY

We got caught up in the melodic resolutions at the heart of I’m A Spirit, the new release from Animal Scream. There’s a revolving hypnotic nature to the intro vocal part that immediately entangles you into its curious progression. It adapts with elegant surprise and notable excitement. Stylistically we hear a dose of Spoon and more rocking Radiohead. We love that influence.

Livingmore embraces nostalgic classic rock with fresh fire on their latest release Resident Psycho. The explosive psych rock glam jam finds the middle ground between Jefferson Airplane and T Rex. It’s an infectious rock jive, one that could bring a concert crowd to a frenzy. The mix is vibrant with the fuzzy guitar and soaring vocals seemingly jumping out of the speakers. Rock on.

The Virginia Planes make some beautiful noise. The lush melodic sonic cascade blesses their recent release Cause Of Last Summer. Full of elegant contrast, this dreamy shoegaze blend features piercing pretty vocals amid deep sonic layers. Elements of post rock intersect heavy rock tendencies convincingly. It’s a gorgeous combination.

ARK IDENTITY is back and their new single Deluxe Nightmare drops just in time for spooky season. This cinematic dark rock vibe wades in imaginative waters while dipping in to intersecting moments of convention. Both the pure and the vibe find plenty of air time on this convincing single. Combined with a cool cinematic portrait music video, ARK IDENTITY brings their art full circle.
