The Writers Trilogy, aptly named as a tribute to household literary classics by indie-rockers Late Sea, spiral in experimentation. Exploring Late Sea’s Inspiration The four-song EP features three original works in the collection. The last, a cover of Simon and Garkfunkel’s 1964 hit “The Sound of Silence.” A more melancholy rendition of the classic, Late […]
“Judas Tree” by Newspoke is paired with a simple, yet stunning video that captures the essence of the single. The music scene now is as visual as it is auditory. Great music should be accompanied by great images now. Seeing as the video begins with a painstakingly slow pan of cookie-cutter suburbia, visually, mission […]
