We heard “On Your Side” by Wisconsin band Icarus Himself the other day and we’ve had it in rotation here at b3sci HQ ever since. “On Your Side” is built around a simple psychedelic-esque groove that serves as the foundation for big distorted guitars, organ washes, and a nice sharp little melody. Where a lot of tracks in this lane, if not properly restrained, venture into Jesus and Mary Chain cover band territory, “On Your Side” has a gravity and soulfulness to it that separate it from bands drawing from a similar palette of instrumentation and influence.
