New Tunes 11.10.2024
Hello, music lovers! 🎶
It's Friday, and a new dose of fresh tunes is here!
The weekly #newtunes selection of new music is upon us, and we're ready to listen to it for the weekend and beyond.
Well-known and lesser-known musicians are trying to spread their musical influence; only the content will tell us if they are successful.
As usual, eight tracks of different genres await your judgement and if you like something I'll be happy to share it with you.
But if you don't like something, you can skip.

Tremonti - The Mother, The Earth and I
Tremonti is an American band from Orlando, Florida performing since 2011. Frontman and guitarist Mark Tremonti is perhaps better known from Creed and Alter Bridge, with whom he also occasionally performs. Melodic heavy metal and guitar-dominated stoner is the genre in which they most express themselves. This is also true of their latest album, their sixth, The End Will Show Us How, which will be released in January 2025. The Mother, Earth, and I is the first single from this album, so they have already started the campaign.
Or is it just me who has noticed that there is more guitar music again lately?
The Smile - Colours Fly
Since Radiohead is on holiday, Thorn Yorke and Jonny Greenwood have been chiefly involved with The Smile for the last few years. As I mentioned, I have found them to be one of the best concert attractions lately.
Their third album (their second this year), Cutouts, was released last week and is quickly attracting attention across all streaming services. York and Co. will undoubtedly always have ideas, and rightly so. Recommended.
Cindy Lee - Dracula
I ask myself where I have been every time I discover something I have never heard of before. Although it has been around for a while, it's new for me.
That's precisely what happened to me with a Canadian band from Toronto's underground, the eccentric Cindy Lee. Hypnagogic dark pop with an intense dose of nostalgia for the good old days that will be no more oozes from every song they play.
They've released seven albums to date. The latest, Diamond Jubilee, is a self-released double album that is not available anywhere, not even in physical form. It only exists as a stream on YouTube, which already has over a million views. You can also download it for free in .wav, direct from the studio, here.
Mad Marge - Already Dead
Mad Marge is a band from California, USA, that has been performing since 2020 under Mad Marge and The Stonecutters or Mad Marge and Troublemakers. Well, now they're just Mad Marge, and two weeks ago, they released the single "Already Dead."
Otherwise, it's all in the genre of psychobilly, i.e., fast garage rock and roll. And since I last listened to it a while ago, I like it.
Dal:um - Cracking
Now, some more from South Korea, Seoul to be precise. You probably know the infamous K-pop, but this is entirely different.
Dal:um is a duo that experiments with traditional Korean instruments, such as the 25-string Gayageum and the 6-string with bamboo plectrum Geomungo.
The song "Cracking" is from their second album, Coexistence, which was released at the beginning of September. I suggest you listen to it because it all sounds good and fresh.
Tindersticks - Always a stranger
Tindersticks is an English alternative rock band that has been active since 1991. To date, they have released 14 albums, the latest of which, Soft Tissue, was released at the end of September this year. They have also been heavily involved in writing film music for French director Claire Denis.
The song "Always a Stranger" is from the new album. It's a melancholy, slow ballad about connection, longing, and alienation.
Memorials - Book Stall
Memorials is a new band, a duo from Canterbury, UK. It's a new name for me, and their first album, Memorial Waterslides, was released in the first week of October. Surreal pop combines classical and avant-garde approaches with a pastoral atmosphere.
A comprehensive sound spectrum of all the songs flooded with images evoking a lost future, a veiled present, and a dreamlike past.
Song Book Stall is about collectors and their collections.
Dream Theater - Night Terror
After four years, fans of the American progressive metal band Dream Theater have also found their reward. Parasomnia is their sixteenth album in a row and will be released in January 2025.
Technical perfection and perfect sound production are great ways to spread the word among fans.
🎶That's all for today, and enjoy your weekend with new songs!

I will definitely spend the rest of the day listening to all the proposals that you are presenting, I have already read all the titles and I haven't listened to any of them yet, so I won't be able to vote, I will do that later.
Every Sunday I make a publication called, My musical Sunday, unlike you I only make a musical proposal for that Sunday,
I congratulate you for this format, to deliver several proposals.
Thanks. I'll be glad if you'd like something :)
I liked the Crakes for the strange instrument they play. It's new to me and it looks hard to master. I like the rhythm of the song too.
Yes, Dal:um is interesting, using traditional instruments to make very fresh and modern music.
Beautiful tunes to start the weekend with , they have lovely melodies too
Thank you. I was looking for harmonic melodies, and I found some. 😎
For the first time - all the performers have caught my attention.
Tremonti - I find the order of the title to be very remarkable. I'm going to have to think about it for a little while longer. About the music? Ever since 'Disturbed' I have not been able to digest this kind of thing very well. It's a bit of a problem for my stomach.
The Smile - After listening to one song I realise that I haven't written down the name of the band or the title of the album yet. Not really a good sign, I think.
Cindy Lee - Could it be that the lady's visit to Dracula was not only a loss of blood, but also a loss of a few chords? They would really be a help to the composition.
Mad Marge - When I saw the video for the first time, I was afraid that Madonna had made good on her threat to reincarnate herself. Luckily this was not the case. At least this one has a singing voice.
Dal:um - Please remind me to give John McLaughlin, Trilok Gurtu and Herbie Hancock a ring next week. They should get together with these two ladies as a matter of urgency and record the 'album of the year'. Brilliantly good stuff!
Tindersticks - They tell the story of what I have been most of the time in my professional life. A foreigner in a strange land. Only I have never had such a sad feeling in my heart.
Memorials - Record companies seem to be particularly talented at creating words or terms that automatically make you wonder what the hell is going on? Surrealist pop music? This is just shallow pop with some electronic crap thrown in. This is surreal in the truest sense.
Dream Theater - These guys are impressive proof that there is another way - nay, a better way - to do it. In complete contrast to Tremonti, they are a demonstration of how good loud music can be.
Thank you for your witness vote!
Have a !BEER on me!

Musical tastes vary and are generally not up for debate, but this was worth mentioning out of the 100 new songs I've heard. It's still going around in my head until next time when there's something new again. 😜
