“I’m just hoping for a little change,” sings Mitch Currie before comparing his current situation to a knife in his neck. It’s a pretty passive response to such a dire complaint but considering that Currie, like the rest of us, is suffering from an acute case of languishing, pacing has turned into a major theme. Currie’s latest single, “Knife in my Neck,” is an expression of his frustrations at having his life stalled, just at the point when it was about to take off.

COMPOSIT Find Inspiration in Fresh Romances and Old NES Chiptune Soundtracks for ‘Make It Right’

Short For Arthur Provide Some Life Lessons To Help Us Get By With ‘Note to Self’
It’s nice to imagine what Moncton’s Short For Arthur might sound like at an honest-to-goodness, living, breathing music festival. The eclectic and electric brand of indie rock rubs up against the flanks of blues, jazz, electronic and, most importantly, psychedelic jams in a way that inspires all the high-energy head fuzz of a late-night dopamine binge. Their singles have consistently kicked over the can of absurdist nonsense to indulge in a playful form of art rock, but not without hiding some very poignant needles in their metaphorical haystack.
Their latest single, “Note to Self,” has those needles (not to mention the jams) in abundance; literally listing out for you some quality life lessons and accompanied by a tasty bassline. Continue reading Short For Arthur Provide Some Life Lessons To Help Us Get By With ‘Note to Self’
