Beat Awfuls- Punks On The Dance Floor
 
The third single from Beat Awfuls new LP, “Punks on the Dance Floor,” is catchy yet forcefully self-reflective. It’s an out of body experience for the singer as he helplessly witnesses his own actions: “I will turn into a twister and blow apart our lovely lives.” Each verse puts us at the edge of destruction before a sharp turn into a melancholic pop hook. The chorus shifts again, this time to lace up and, “Bounce up and down in my Docs some more.” So many elements of this song are bright and poppy, but ultimately this mirrors the frustration of a person putting on a happy face while actively fighting their worst instincts.

The Reds, Pinks & Purples- Life In The Void

Music toys with time. Or, maybe songs reflect back that time is always toying with us. The world of a song takes hold of us like an eternity to be lost in, with its repetitions and variations, but ultimately, as with everything else, it has a start and then ends. And there’s no place to lose time like San Francisco, where there are no seasons and all the seasons occur within one day; where the fog takes the space where your plans might have been; where there’s insane wealth all around and everyone you know and love is hanging on at the periphery and making art on any given Tuesday night. About Glenn Donaldson’s new record, The Town That Cursed Your Name, he says, “I realized as I was piecing it together that it’s a song cycle about trying to live while also feeling called to make music.” It’s a double life when it works and a deeper doubleness to mirror the Gemini nature of songs themselves. The Town That Cursed Your Name contemplates this problem with wryness, generosity, and the micro- and macroscopic realness Donaldson is known and loved for.
