Sunday Suggestion – Bleached – Dead In Your Head

Last year the Clavin sisters from California released their debut studio album Ride Your Heart. It was an album with that bold West Coast demeanour and attitude, but one that they distinctively made their own with a lo-fi theme throughout the garage, surf rock and rough neo-psychedelica; set around these were the harmonious, classic pop vocals to give their tracks a bit of shine and wider melody to the average listener. The song that best equates to these traits is ‘Dead In Your Head’. It’s a track with an infectious and steady driving riff that feeds off into a bare bass line is built upon again with sweeping vocal harmonies and slightly warped riffs. The hopeless dreaming and contemplative lyrics appeal to that swooning teen listener, but with music that gives a little more than the pop-like qualities it provides.
