Dirty Heads and Edge Of Tomorrow
It has been a couple of days since I last posted, as I've been traveling about. But today I have music for you by a band with a pretty awesome sound called Dirty Heads. Though the band hasn't been on the pop music radar, this song is an underground banger.
The overall soundscape is very different from the current evolution we have been hearing from rock bands. A lot of rock bands now are introducing more electronic elements and synthesizers into their tracks. Some bands have completely changed their sound to be more of an electronic-based sound, whereas other bands have integrated those synth sounds into their live instruments. And I can respect both styles! But Dirty Heads does something completely different and explores this rap-rock and trap kind of sound. For the most part, I feel like they have dropped the rock sound in favor of creating this fierce bass boosted track.
I love the introduction of the synths and programmed alien-esque sounds. Eventually, this segues into a deep bass and intense drum work during the verses and main chorus. Dirty Heads uses electronic instruments and tends to drop the more typical band instruments such as the guitar. However, the drum is a key player in this track and Dirty Heads samples a few different kinds of drums in this track. The drums act like a heartbeat or thrum for the song. There is also this interesting reggae influence on the song which adds a little bit of this wild and untamed kind of vibe to the song.
There is something about the way this song is sung that makes it have a mix of rock and reggae. Speaking of mixing, this song also has some sick rapping happening in it. I really like how the singing vocals are done. They start out slightly muffled but then it comes to its normal strength. I really like the way they used just that one thing to change the tone of the song. The rapping is not too shabby and is filled with this wild kind of enthusiasm. It's definitely a challenge for many rock groups to attempt to rap, but this group does it very well.
Dirty Heads really impresses with this track because they have created a song with a bad ass and psychedelic intensity, but are also able to turn around and add something like reggae into the mix. This isn't a normal combination of sounds, but it works very well, and it isn't every day you hear a band like this do reggae.
The song also has this cool and almost suave sound to it. There is an effortless swagger attached to the song, one that makes you feel like you own any room you may walk into. That kind of musical composition is not always easy to come by, but Dirty Heads nails it. There is a great balance of all elements in this song. The drum is a perfect amount to where it doesn't turn into a hard rock song and there is just enough synth to give it a modern feel but not so much to be a techno song. There is an earworm element to this song, something that makes you want to keep coming back for more. All in all, this is an absolutely great song!
Today's instrumental song is from the movie Pacific Rim. This score was composed by one of my favorite composers of the recent age, Ramin Djawadi. Who also happens to be the man responsible for the Game of Thrones music. But the score for Pacific Rim is an interesting piece to listen to because of how well integrated the sounds are. In this composition, we have some incredible orchestral work which is heightened by the electric counterpart of some instruments. The electric guitar and deep brass instruments take the lead on this score, surging with power and ferocity. This is the sound of someone you don't want to mess with. The howling electric guitar, growling horns, and rebellious orchestra come together to create a piece which is truly bad ass. I hope you enjoy the music and please feel free to comment!
