Roller Derby – “Lights Out”

Roller Derby, a band we’ve written about before here, have a new track out – a dream pop affair entitled “Lights Out.” Clocking in at just under three minutes, organ flavored synth (or maybe actually an organ, who can say) and a slick bass line dance along with fitful bouts of guitar. I got some Beach House vibes here and there, but this isn’t just another cookie cutter dreamy track – the warmth and speaking to the complexities of love feel truly heartfelt.   You can hear “Lights Out” below from Soundcloud or Spotify. An AI music video also exists over on YouTube. As per the band this was done purposefully to “mirror the song’s dreamlike quality – blurring the lines between reality and illusion…” You can hear the rest of the album, When The Night Comes, on a streaming device near you.   Roller Derby · Lights Out  [...]

Roller Derby – “Starry Eyed”

Coming all the way from Hamburg, Germany, surfy post-punk trio Roller Derby have the world harking to their latest work “Starry-Eyed.” This hypnotic .wav file is about as transcendent as the deep blue eye featured on the single’s cover art. The motion picture of “Starry-Eyed” premiered on March 4th of 2022 and is one of the trippiest video I’ve seen to date. Before watching, I closed my eyes and visualized what the song would look like on video and Roller Derby exceeded the expectations of my imagination; see the psychedelic magic of “Starry-Eyes” for yourself. Check out our previous writeup for their single “Flying High” here. Stream it on Spotify & Apple Music too

Roller Derby – “Flying High”

Roller Derby started earlier this year (2020) and they are already creating excellent indie pop reminiscent of genre greats like Alvvays or Men I Trust. “Flying High” is a dreamy stunner with vaguely romantic lyrics that are sure to resonate with any forlorn heart. There’s something timeless about Roller Derby’s sound – it could sit as comfortably on a shelf next to The Cure as it would next to the latest Angel Olson release. See what we mean via Soundcloud below – they’re also on Spotify. Roller Derby · Flying High
