UNDER THE RADAR: SEPTEMBER 2023

Happy Thanksgiving to our Canadian friends! A long weekend seems like an apt time to dive into our September Under The Radar featuring Slightest Clue, Lenn, Kevin Goodwin, Josh Bogert, The Pedals, and LILAC.

1) Slightest Clue - “Suit Uptight”

Rockstars, they are. Slightest Clue takes the common fear of losing someone you care about, and makes it their own—punky and melodic, tormented but contemplative. “Suit Uptight” is unlike most songs detailing absence that I’ve heard; the band imparts the anxiety in a mix of shouty verses and gritty, playful guitar lines. They were inspired by the transition of a relationship, from frequent in-person interaction, to their existence only in memories and photographs. It is anchored by the frustration and fear of forgetting. I love how they weave in the kinship in the less abrasive chorus, there’s a real relief in the possibility of reconciliation, or at least being able to co-exist (“When we spoke last night, thought I’d lost you, thoughts replacing you”).

Malcolm McLaren has a feverish lure in his vocals, and it was a stylistically smart decision to add Hannah Kruse’s open-ended, distorted chants at the end.  Slightest Clue’s rough edges sway between apathy and enthusiasm, an electrifying sound to embrace.

2) Lenn - “waist deep”

I was pleasantly surprised to learn that “waist deep” was not written about a romantic relationship—rather one centered on her own journey to being an artist. More often than not an intense trek towards any kind of success, Lenn questions her skills and intent, while overshadowed by the deep love she has for the art. It stirs up notions of validation and control, and how to self-motivate when you feel stuck in a rut, for lack of better words (“You know you’re breaking my heart here / You know that I’m too far along to go back on myself now”).

Lenn is more eloquent in her approach; her sultry and sophisticated sound heard as R&B-soaked pop, a mid to slow tempo that mimics the creeping fear and longing of bringing a dream to fruition. Each time she delivers the song’s title (which is shared with her EP), the deviations are the emotional pull as she traverses self-doubt and possibilities. I enjoyed how fresh and dramatic it was on my listening palette; the vocal layering was very effective. Lenn stresses to impress in “waist deep.”

3) Kevin Goodwin - “High”

Kevin Goodwin’s “High” is a provoking listen. Set in a bar or club scene, the track hones in on the darker effects of drugs and alcohol in these situations. Eerie synths and pounding drums play a part in thoughts blurring, desire intensifying. The production entertains rock elements as well with heavy guitars and Goodwin’s breathy, compelling timbre.

Despite the flashing colours and friction of a near out-of-body experience, “High” is presented with due diligence. The narrator acknowledging they’re “in no shape to drive” may seem insignificant, but it’s a meaningful detail in what could otherwise be called a party song. It has a strong hook but leans into the intricacies, absorbing everything around it. Goodwin’s new EP One Hell of a Night is out now.

4) Josh Bogert - “When I Grow Up” 

There’s a real, warm-hearted duality to “When I Grow Up.” As a performer who has been in the spotlight for the past seven years, the song recounts his big dreams as a youngster and how they’ve changed with time. It speaks to the mental challenges of success or lack thereof, comparisons, imposter syndrome, and creeping doubts. In contrast to the more naïve goals of one with minimal experience or knowledge, you may find yourself broadening them to align with personal values or perceived deficiencies (“I just want to see colour in the sky / When I grow up / I’ll get over the fears that cloud my mind”).

Bogert’s maturity is visible and I love seeing the reflection in a light that is fatigued, but wholly determined. His voice is as clear as ever, with a raw power that holds even as the programmed beats and strings enter over the piano. He has the capabilities to lean in further to the EDM/electronic genre, but it’s important that “When I Grow Up” remained stripped back for its sentiment. The song implores us to temper our expectations but still carry hope and a spark for what we’re passionate about. 

Bogert’s debut album S3 is out now.

5) The Pedals - “Love Is Just A Game”

Listening to Vancouver quartet The Pedals is a bit of a ’60s dream and I’m about it.

Their new release, “Love Is Just A Game,” depicts a rich yet quirky atmosphere between the Wurlitzer electric piano, beachy guitars and bursting harmonies. Marisol Cruz' vocals are swinging in nature and hard to resist. The song has very doting lyricism, expressing “it's only me, asking you to stay / and that's the way our love will be.” Which begs the question—is this affection one-sided or is it reciprocal? It carries an easy optimism akin to slow mornings; spiced chai; small talk. Vintage toned and beautifully arranged, “Love is Just A Game” captures the feeling of being alive, and in midfall.

6) LILAC - “Touch”

“Touch” is the latest single from Reading, UK trio LILAC. The opening half of the song feels minimalist with dancing electronics and gothic vocals. When the chorus kicks back in, guitars and drums take over for a grittier, bona fide rock sound. The guitar solo is the original recording demoed by Lewis Thomas – a fun fact lending to the song’s authenticity. Frontwoman Beth Atkinson sings of being vulnerable in a relationship: the definition of high risk, high reward. “We’ll sing too loud and it’s ok / Lost then and now / What we gonna do?” Her vocal power feels both intimate and invigorating, holding its own to the distorted rock melody.

Kinda funny but also weird how Josh joined and suddenly will randomly pop up in the back of photos. Like we never see the other admins and we still don’t. But Josh. Josh is there.

[eirianerisdar]

The SF Full Access vid for the Canadian Grand Prix is out on the Ferrari app and I’m honestly blown away by how bad Ferarri’s marketing department is.

They have two of the most personable drivers on the grid who have fans drooling over their dynamic every time they interact. The team has just come out of probably their most successful race weekend after Baku this year.

They should be capitalising on this - they should show the drivers actually interacting with each other, the team, fans. They should show what happened in the race - how Carlos re-overtook Perez, how the strategy put them in P4 and 5.

But instead we got six minutes of elevator music over not a single spoken word to camera. Carlos, Charles, and Antonio weren’t shown interacting with each other even once. We got a full panning shot of Charles mentally putting on his media face before stepping out to greet fans in the pitlane. They didn’t even show the garage celebrating any overtakes, or the great strategy call.

It felt like a random cutscene montage waiting for something to happen except it lasted the whole video.

There was no humanity. No laughter. No cohesiveness. No intention of conveying that We’re a team, our drivers are a team, and this is the strongest weekend we’ve had in months.

 It’s yet another case of Ferrari management not capitalising on their strengths. Just like they do on track.

All I’m saying is Josh Kruse has his work set for him. This is a trainwreck beyond any proportions.
