iTUNES & APPLEMUSIC BEST OF THE WEEK: FEMME
onLast night at midnight VRITRA released their new full length solo album FEMME. The follow up to HAL includes guest features from Beto Sparks, Tequila Mockingbird, Huey Briss & Red Bag.
The new single Goldielocks has also been prominently featured on AppleMusic’s most endeared pop playlist Best of the Week.
VRITRA celebrated the premiere and release of FEMME earlier this month in Los Angeles showcasing all 4 parts of FEMME’s visual series. The next video Feel Better will be available to see for the first time publicly this Tuesday.
“The writing comes directly from the trama of the situation I was in at the time. I was in an open relationship that was failing, I lost myself and my direction. Femme is the process of me coping with that, and getting to the comfort level of completely being myself and Dealing with change head on. Most of it was recorded in my car. I think the peak of it is the track “Boyfriend” the production is very “ending credits-esque” and it’s brash and jarring, lyrically it unrelentingly addresses my relationship with this girl I dated for a few months and how I felt about the reality of what happened. I feel like you can hear those emotions in the track. Then “Real Death” is like, okay, this is it.” – Vritra / Hal Williams on FEMME

CROOKED TEETH: BEG
onThis afternoon Crooked Teeth announced and teased their new single Beg coming out March 22nd on Blossöm Records, Ltd. The new single, written and produced in Los Angeles with Mike Gentile is the groups first new music since their EP Honey.
“This song is my favorite Crooked Teeth song to date. We had the privilege of working with Mike Gentile who absolutely crushed it. Lyrically, the song comes from a place of reflecting on impulsive habit and how the consequences don’t seem to matter much when in the moment, be it good or bad. In this specific scenario, obviously the latter. My favorite part of this song is how the chorus seems to hit out of nowhere, the way the melody/lyrics move in sync to compliment the vibe.” – Tyson Evans, Crooked Teeth
“I think when you’re creating and working on your art, it’s absolutely imperative to be genuinely vulnerable and let that vulnerability shine through your work to create a feeling and a vibe that the listener will automatically resonate with just as much as the creator does due to it’s authenticity. With Beg, we really took our time to look at each sonic element, melody, lyric, and part with a fine tooth comb to make sure it was the absolutely best thing that we could have came up with in that moment to serve the song, the creator’s intentions, and the listener, all equally.” – Mike Gentile
Shows on the bands upcoming spring tour, the Petaluma Tour with This Wild Life have already Sold Out in major cities.
Beg is Available Everywhere March 22nd follow Crooked Teeth for more teasers leading up to the release.
