Glocque • "Heart Sling"
It's always fascinating (to me, at least) to find out about a Chicago artist by reading praise from someone outside of the city. Such was the case for producers like Walkingshoe and ICYTWAT, and such is the case for the man of the hour: Glocque.
The producer turned heads last October (and arrived on my radar) with his album Gloveless Brain Transplant, a project that is available on Bandcamp with split tracks but available on SoundCloud as one long, 43 minute upload. One complete listen, worthy of full digestion. Shout-out to David Lynch. Perhaps an interesting side-note: the price of his album on Bandcamp has gone from $5 to free to $500, which it currently remains.
Following up after GBT (along with a piece of a Pigeons & Planes compilation) is the new single "Heart Sling". It's experimental, a post-apocalyptic love song, lost in an industrial wasteland, yet bouncing enough to get you to jump out your window and start your day. What more do you need?
“A song about my gf. Probably would’ve just named it Aisling if it weren’t for fucking Curtis Heron...””
Hollyy does what they do best on their brand new single “What A Shame” with animated video to accompany!
Rich Robbins’ new single “Good Goodbyes” perfectly captures this theme as he reflects on the lessons learned from different people in his life.
On Eleeza Silva’s latest record, listeners are instantly taken back to one of the most revolutionary eras of hip-hop.
Hailing from the Northwest side of the city, J.Solaye is an emerging singer with a disarmingly tender voice that can sway anybody into a daydream. These Days premieres the official video for her song "Ocean" off her debut E.P., One.
A month after dropping their sensational collab “Aye There,” Marcus Atom and Rich Jones have unveiled a visual to match the song’s silky smooth energy.
These Days is proud to premiere “Aperture” by Emily Blue. The track continues Blue’s mastery of an ethereal sound that makes perfect ambient pop.
