Bonham has reimagined âJumping Beanâ from 2000âs Down Here. This version is a slow-builder featuring a familiar, menacing guitar line turned up loud.
A mid-tempo pace and jangly guitars in the Byrds and Monkees tradition. Itâs psychedelic, and makes for a tidy B-side which, for me, trumps side one.
This Florida band has been around since the late aughts, and âHeyâ is a ripper. Itâs got the loud-(somewhat) quiet-loud dynamics, with an emphasis on loud.
Frank Black Francis can still write a weird, affecting tune. Itâs folky, ethereal, and probably the best offering from new record, The Night the Zombies Came.
âThe Futureâ was the first of three singles released ahead of Superdrag singer John Davis’ new solo record, JINX. The shoegaze element beats out the pop.
