Welcome!
Today’s offering in “What’s New in Music” is a four-piece psychedelic garage
band out of Nashville Tennessee called “CHICO”.
“CHICO”
just released a two song “split EP” with the progressive rock band called “Phobos”
on July 28th, 2017 that should wake a few ears by its outstanding creativeness.
The music certainly deserves a closer look / listen by music fans and radio DJ’s,
and so, here it is, under the World United Music spotlight on “What’s New in
Music”.
CHICO’s
2 song “Split EP”
The
opening song, “Twilight Ravine” is a real trip of a tune that comes out of
nowhere to pick up your rock sensors with its driving beat, guitar rhythms and refreshing
leads. One listen wont be enough as the song picks up your consciousness and
merges your being with music euphoria through its subtle psychedelic changes
that will have your mind speeding down roads, surfing the waves and travelling through
space. “Twilight Ravine” is food for the mindful music starved and an excellent
song that should jump start the band out of the gates to a wider audience.
“Twilight Ravine” is certainly on this DJ’s playlist!
The
second song, “Prayers for the family” is a unique tune that demonstrates the
bands mastery of its garage rock roots. The song combines its signature garage sound
with a seemingly slowed down punk rock beat as a carrier that borders on Pop
but changes with a twist of psychedelic fusion to round out this excellent song
and “Split EP”.
I
have “Twilight Ravine” and “Prayers for the Family” already mixed and playing
on my car’s CD player…ok, so I have an old car but I love the music blasting
from its speakers. 😉
Check
out CHICO’s two song EP below and then go over to the bands facebook page and
give them a, thumbs up. Better still, pick up the bands music on Bandcamp and
then go over to Facebook and give them the thumbs up.
Be
sure to share this post with your network of friends and fans so that we can get
this music revolution started!
“Twilight
Ravine” has been added to our Best Music of 2017 and the Psychedelic Rock

United Music Mag's 4th edition will knock your socks off and inspire a major energy burst with Seattle’s “Grace Love & The True Loves”, Belfast’s “Sea
Pinks”, Melbourne’s “SMILE”, and Minneapolis Blues singer “Sena Ehrhardt”.
Today we have great inspirational music that'll put a spring in
your step, a smile on your face and attitude in your hips. Let’s jump right in
shall we?
1.
Grace Love & The True Loves
Grace Love and the True Loves is an original 9-piece soul
sensation from Seattle, WA.
Following in the footsteps of Stax, Motown, King and Daptone
artists, but with a sound all their own, Grace Love and the True Loves are
setting a course as the next hot soul and funk number ready to sweep the nation
with true cross-over appeal. On vocals, Grace Love is Seattle’s shining jewel
of grit, beauty and power – think Etta James and Betty Wright meet Mahalia
Jackson. Backed by the True Loves, her vocals float effortlessly over kickin’
back beats, smart horns, syncopated rhythms and sweet B-3 color. It’s the hip
swinging, booty shaking, heart freeing sound you crave to hear live, but rarely
do.
Recorded directly to tape at Studio Litho, the full length
self-titled album, is sure to bring rave reviews with a sound altogether unique
to the Pacific Northwest. The debut 45 singles, “Fire” and “Say What You Gotta
Say”, showcase the energy and freshness of Grace Love and the True Loves.
Flea Market Funk says, “this floor stomping, dance floor
filler is a blues filled soul side that can not be denied”. We think you will
agree.
Well I certainly agree with that last statement! The moment
I heard, “Let You Go” on KEXP my mouth dropped and let out a long awe filled
WOW! Great energy by this awesome funky soul band powered by Grace Love’s
incredible voice…Can I get a HEY!! Yes! This is what I’m talking about…great
music!
Be sure to check out their websites and pick up their music
at the links provided below.
“Soft Days” is an excellent sophomore album by Belfast band
“Sea Pinks” that serves up some excellent New Wave Pop sounds with catchy hooks
and “awe awe’s” to keep you hanging on for more. “Soft Days” by the “Sea
Pinks” is heading for my record collection and so gets a big thumbs up by me.
Four songs stick out as big hits for me, “Giving In”,
“Ordinary Daze”, “YR Horoscope”, and “Soft Days”. Have a listen to the full
album below and be sure to support the Band by picking up a copy at your
favourite online store.
Band Members: Neil Brogan, Davey Agnew, Steven Henry
SMILE is a Soft Psyche dream pop group from Melbourne
Australia who are about to release their debut album on Smooch Records March 25th,
2016, and on Bandcamp April 1st, 2016.
I enjoy skimming Bandcamp for new artists that I haven’t
heard, so when I do find something that catches my ear, I need to tell the
world about what I found. Here is one such artist called, “SMILE”. Not only
does the bands name stand out, I mean we all need to find ways to make us
smile, but their song “Boundless Plains to Share” really caught my ear and made
me smile. I loved it right off the bat, and so I get to share another awesome
song with music fans today that hopefully will put a smile on your face. 8-)

In today’s edition of United Music Mag, we spotlight the
folky brilliance of "Miranda Lee Richards" with two songs from her new album
“Echoes of the Dream Time”. We then cover some of the exceptional music by
Progrock group “Riverside” who released a video for their amazing song, “Time
Travellers” on Inside Out Music TV youtube channel. Next, the ever creative
Psychedelic Pop band, “The Chemistry Set” follows with their new album “The
Endless More and More”, and last but certainly not least, Progrock artist,
“Dave Kerzner” who just released a new video for his song “My Old Friend” from
his stellar 2015 album “New World”.
We cover the very best music here on United Music Mag, and
do so, because music matters to us, and you’re here because it matters to you
also, so let’s begin…
1.
Miranda Lee Richards
With a beautiful soothing voice and ambient dream like music
expression, Miranda Lee Richards couldn’t have picked a better title for her
latest album, “Echoes Of The Dreamtime”. Miranda’s meaningful poetic lyrics are
beautifully displayed in a soft-spoken music that is altogether pleasing to the
senses. My favourite songs from her new album are, “It was Given” and “Already
Fine”. Both songs, presented below, will resonate with a wide variety of music
fans. All I can say is Bravo Miranda! Keep doing it your way, because these
songs are going to stay with us for a long time to come, and are truly worthy
of Gold status. The entire album is soothing medicine so after listening to the
two tracks below, check out more of Miranda’s music at her Official websites
(See links below) for details.
“Echoes Of The Dreamtime” was released worldwide via
London-based indie Invisible Hands Music on January 29, 2016.
It Was Given – Album: Echoes of the Dreamtime (2016)
Miranda Lee Richards was one of the first artists I covered
when I started World United Music back in 2010 on the Minstral Show, so it is
doubly special for me to see that Miranda continues to create great music
today. Here is the 2010 Minstral Show episode that contains two of my favourite
songs “Beautiful Day” and “Last Day’s of Summer” from her 2009 album, “Light of
X”,
Beautiful Day & Last Day’s of Summer – Album: Light of X
– (2009)
Riverside is a rock band from Warsaw, Poland founded in 2001
by friends Mariusz Duda, Piotr Grudziński, Piotr Kozieradzki and Jacek
Melnicki, who shared a love for progressive rock and heavy metal. Riverside can
be described as a blend of atmospheric rock with metal elements, resulting in a
sound similar to that of Pink Floyd, Porcupine Tree, The Mars Volta, Opeth,
Dream Theater, and Tool, while still maintaining an identity of their own.
They released a music Video for their song “Time Travellers”
on Feb 11th, 2016 on Inside Out Music TV. The song is destined for
classic status as the lyrics and music combine to weave a deep meaningful
understanding to how people the world over feel today…”let’s go back to the
world that was 30 years ago, let’s believe this is our time”…this song should
be on every radio station, sitting at the top of the best songs of 2016, it
certainly is one of the very best with this music fan and I have no doubt in my
mind that the song will resonate with a global audience.
Time Travellers – Album: Love, Fear and the Time Machine –
(2015 Sept. 04)
Sadly, Piotr Grudziński Guitarist for Riverside passed away
at the ago of 40 on Feb 21st, 2016 and will be deeply missed by
friends and family and also by his fans. RIP Piotr - (1975 – 2016)
There are many more great Progressive Rock tunes by
Riverside that are absolutely brilliant and truly worth the share here, as they
scream out to me as a good bottle of wine would to wine connoisseur, so I’m
sharing a few bottles of classic Riverside progressive rock today.
Reality Dream III – Album: Second Life Syndrome – (2005)
The Chemistry Set are a groovy Psychedelic Pop band from the
UK that have become a dynasty in their own right as they have seen the front
and backside of the music industry since the 1980’s. Here’s a band with many
stories to tell and are still going strong today with over 41 releases and
counting…oops there’s another one. They released their latest album “The
Endless More and More” on March 8th, 2016.
The Chemistry Set continues to mix the elixirs of sound to
come up with unique psychedelic creations that carry the consciousness for a
new generation of psychedelic rock. Special WOW OUT to, “Elapsed Memories”,
“The Open Window” and “International Rescue”, my favourite songs on their new
album.
“The Endless More and More” has something for everyone and
is truly worth a listen. Check out their album below and then pay them a visit
on Facebook with a high five.
The Open Window – Album: The Endless More and More – (March
08, 2016)
Our fourth big shout out today goes to Dave Kerzner who just
released a new video for his song “My Old Friend” on March 14th,
2016. The song is from his 2014 Album “New World” a progressive rock concept
album that continues to impress. Dave is currently on tour in Europe, so if
you’re in the EU, be sure to check out his schedule and catch an amazing show.
“New World” by Dave Kerzner is a brilliant progressive rock
album filled with meaningful lyrics and imagery that captures the listener from
start to finish. The entire album is a wonderful artistic expression that
fosters a musical experience you can see and feel. “New World” is a definite
must in your progressive rock music collection. Have a listen to the album “New
World” (Embedded Below) and pick the album up directly from the Bandcamp link

Today’s spotlight, features four great artists from London,
UK, Porto Portugal, and Chicago USA in “The Hanging Stars”, “Tanita Tikaram”,
“ASTRODOME”, and “Aethereal”
As a music fan and promoter who subscribes to hundreds of
bands and artists online, there is always something new that arrives in my
music inbox to make my day complete. I’m treated to some of the best music
being made on the planet leaving me with songs to match the emotional moments I
experience in life. The significance of having great “New” music is that it
allows us, by default, to tuck away memories and the nostalgia of the times, when we first experienced that particular song. So when we listen to that same
song a few years down the road, the memories and nostalgia of those times comes flooding back…to me, that is worth more than all
the gold in the world.
And so sharing these songs with you on this music blog
leaves me happy and contented knowing that I just might help
invoke a little happiness in those who listen to the songs and those who make
them.
The best thing about subscribing to an artist’s social
network, including their Soundcloud, Bandcamp and / or YouTube channels is that
you somehow feel connected to the artist by sharing in the experiences that
lead up to the results of their creative process. Therefore the memories and
nostalgia tucked away inside us by those songs leave us with more powerful and
meaningful memories.
The importance of having New Music is truly significant for
our future happiness and so it becomes equally important to support the artists
in their creative efforts. Be sure to subscribe to the artists and maybe pick
up a copy of their music…think of it as spreading happiness. 8-)
1.
The Hanging Stars
The first band up today is the London-based psych-folk
outfit “The Hanging Stars” who’ve just released their debut album “Over the
Silvery Lake” March 11, 2016.
Blending folk pastoralism with swampy 60s Americana, “The
Hanging Stars” sound like the missing link between the California desert sun
and the grey skies of London Town. The album was recorded between LA, Nashville
and Walthamstow, with each of these vastly different places leaving an
indelible mark on the songs.
The Hanging Stars debut album is a beautiful mellow blend of
soft folky alternative sounds with brush strokes of Psychedelia that season the
Byrds, and David Crosby influences into it’s ambience, making this one of the
best albums of 2016, hands down.
“Over the Silvery Lake” is a must for serious music fans and
scores an instant “Classic” status with me. ~ Stewart Brennan, World United
Music
Be sure to pick up your spirits by visiting Bandcamp to pick
up a copy of The Hanging Stars debut album, "Over the Silvery Lake".
Album: Over the Silvery Lake – Released March 11, 2016
Tanita Tikaram was born August 12 - 1969 in Münster, Germany
and currently lives in London. She started writing songs as a teenager and has
continued to write ever since. To date, she has recorded 8 albums and just
released her latest LP “Closer to the People” on March 11th,
2016.
Tanita first achieved chart success in 1988 with the singles
"Twist in My Sobriety" and "Good Tradition" from her 1988
debut album, Ancient Heart. She is known for her powerful, husky voice, and
poetic lyrics.
Today, Tanita Tikaram continues to show her powerful voice
and masterful hand at writing poetic lyrics as demonstrated in her new song
“Food on My Table”, the first single from her new album “Closer to the people”.
Food On My Table - Album: Closer to the People - (Released
March 11th, 2016)
Salsa perfection resonates in sound, vocals and movement
from her second hit song “The Way You Move” from her album “Closer to the
People”. This song is extremely catchy and will grow on you quickly, have a listen to see what I mean...this is real ear candy. 8-)
The Way You Move - Album: Closer to the People - (Released
March 11th, 2016)
The first time I heard the song “Good Tradition” on the
radio back in 1988, I was totally ecstatic over it but never caught who sang
the song, nor did I get the name of it, in fact I hadn’t heard it since then
and had forgotten about it until last night when I was busy researching
Tanita’s music…you know that emotional (Yes I’m an emotional being lol) You
know that emotional wave that hits you when a song fills you with so much joy
that you get choked up with tears in your eyes? Well that’s what happened to me
last night when I heard this song for the first time since…everything from 1988
came flooding back as if it was all locked away with this song…needless to say
I have had the song on repeat ever since and just can’t get enough of it. So I
decided to include it here with another great song of Tanita’s from the same
album ”Ancient Heart” the whole album is fantastic, so in case anyone else was
in the same boat as I was then I know you’re feeling pretty good right now.
Cheers! 8-)
Here’s something for all the prog-rockers, psych’s and
shoegazers…me too 8-)
Formed in 2014, ASTRODOME are a 4 piece instrumental
Progressive Psychedelic Rock band from Porto, Portugal. Their six song debut
album “ASTRODOME” is a 70 minute shoegazers dream, with fuzzy riffs, groovy

listener on a mindful trip. But don’t take my word for it, sit back, relax and
have a listen to their album “ASTRODOME” below.
The Album “ASTRODOME” was released on Nov 8th,
2015 and has drawn a large underground following throughout Portugal and Spain
and soon to Progressive Rock Fans world wide.

Elevators, The Moody Blues, Aphrodite’s Child and Yes, Aethereal captures the
