ANOTHER – Helicopter

another

We about flipped (overhead somersault) when we got Chicago artist ANOTHER’s “Since June” EP in our inbox today. The EP is one of the freshest blends of diverse yet complementary influences we’ve heard in a while. ANOTHER a.k.a. Douglas McGillivray calls the songs on “Since June” his “beach sound.” describing it as a “smooth blend of electronic beats, calm synths, some surf guitar, and intimate vocals”. On top all that it’s AWESOME! The songs are just demos, so they’re a bit rough. But the melodies/ideas/creativity all speak for themselves. You can stream/download the 6 track EP on McGillivray’s Soundcloud. The chugging, uke-driven “Helicopter” is our fav from the set but all six tracks are really really good. We can’t wait to hear what’s next.
