Greetings! Relinquish here. It's a pleasure to be aboard Stuck in My Skull now. This post will be two-pronged: first, the featured song, and second, and introductory note about this column, Secret Sounds.
Banzai Kitten, a four-piece rock outfit based in Lima (Peru), gets its name from the urban legend of kittens grown in jars by some crazy Japanese folks. Recently, this band been cooking up new jams on some upgraded instruments, including bassist Jorge Bayona's electric upright. The tune Anymore Today opens with a great swing guitar riff, catchy and easily hummable. Then enter the crisp vocals of the band's frontman, Alvaro Bayona. The seamless songwriting glides from chord to chord, expertly guided by the bass. A splash of accordion in the chorus rounds out the texture, and later it coasts into violin line and a smooth sax solo in the bridge, both performed by Alvaro. The track closes the same way it started, with that crooning guitar riff. With interesting instrumentation, spot-on vocals, and agreeable chord progression, this tune by Banzai Kitten is really a treat for the ears.
[A note about Secret Sounds: This column will focus on bands, producers, and artists who haven't yet experienced their big breakthrough. Many of these musicians have built from the ground up and rely on the power of the internet to disseminate their beats. Therefore, I would like to provide some external links to the artists, which can be found in the artist name, embedded song, and sometimes the download. If you enjoy the tune, a Facebook like, Youtube subcription, or even a simple share could change their careers! (Especially if you can't afford to buy the track.) If you connect with the song, I hope you can also connect with the artist in some way. To facilitate this, I'll try my best to include cool facts about the artist the track. Thanks!]
