Warm synths, futuristic vocals, and hair-raising lyrics are the perfect combination for an outright hit. Under the facades and crippling expectations of the music industry, there is a new age of artists looking to defy the system and make what they want. This week, I had happened to come across LA-based “grit-pop” duo ill peach. Ill peach almost sound otherworldly. Their soundscape is genre-bending and it has a dreamy cinematic feel. With that being said, the debut on our pages with their latest single “HEAD FULL OF HOES”.
“HEAD FULL OF HOES” is about the obsession with nostalgia. It is something we all have experienced and we all are defined and sometimes slaved by our memories. Regardless if they are good or bad, we find ways to distort them to remember things the way we want to. The track, that seems to bridge progressive alt rock with bedroom pop, moves on heavy tactile bass sounds with lovely distortions. Overall, the song invites you into a dreamy world of wonder that’ll make you feel like you are in an indie movie. They had this to say about the record:
[HEAD FULL OF HOLES is about our obsession with nostalgia. This urge to have a tight grip on certain memories. Sometimes the beautiful and the painful ones get distorted because we want to remember them a certain way. We both had experiences like that in therapy this past year. It’s part of the healing journey to decipher between how much of the past is real and how much of it is how we embellished it in our minds. We started writing HFOF when we took our first trip to London. We were listening to a lot of Coldplay, My bloody Valentine and Radiohead there. Naturally. And we heard Radiohead talk about the infinite climax in a song so this is us trying that out.]
This is definitely a song to add to your summer playlists!
