Grimy Goods, a Los Angeles music blog, has highlighted three compelling new tracks from recent January releases. These songs span electronica, indie rock, and nostalgic vibes, drawing from diverse influences. The selections join a playlist of over 40 must-hear tracks for the month.
In its latest roundup, Grimy Goods—a Los Angeles-based music lifestyle blog established in 2008—spotlights three newly released songs that have captured attention amid a busy January for new music. The blog's playlist already features more than 40 tracks, with these three standing out for their distinctive sounds and appeal.
First, Sassy 009's 'Someone' from her debut album Dreamer+ brings swagger through distorted vocals and swirling breakbeats reminiscent of 1990s electronica. It evokes the atmosphere of gritty warehouse raves in downtown Los Angeles, offering a nod to underground scenes past and present.
London-based artist Olive Jones delivers 'Kingdom,' shifting from her usual soothing vintage style to a funky indie rock track designed to get listeners moving. The song's catchiness belies its subtle social commentary on Brexit, blending entertainment with deeper reflection.
Rounding out the trio is Brigitte Calls Me Baby's 'Slumber Party,' which taps into nostalgia with steady drums and jangly guitars. It appeals across generations, from Gen Z to Gen X, echoing the excitement of early indie rock eras akin to The Strokes, Bloc Party, and Franz Ferdinand.
Grimy Goods plans to share more insights via Instagram, YouTube, and TikTok, including the year's first video album review. This selection underscores the vibrant diversity in January's music landscape, from electronic pulses to rock anthems.
