Why do we like this?

The west coast group Sjowgren has put out another mysteriously sexy single. "Beginners" makes a home for itself with thudding guitar and vocal harmonies that gallup in the distance. Synths sputter and float under the lead singer's humming.

The track is so incredibly concrete in its hard rock momentum, and yet so very wide in its breadth of emotion. It's a soupy mess of angst, empowerment, and catharsis.

Sjowgren has once again raised the bar for grungy indietronica.

By Jason Grishkoff on Jun 5, 2016 | Lail Arad's "Milo" took a little while to win me over, particularly given the unchanging and somewhat repetitive intro. That said, once the pace quickened I found myself falling quite quickly for the indie-rock/Nancy Sinatra-inspired tempo of the so... read more →
