There’s a lot of good new music right now, so I had a bit of a struggle picking a single track for November’s Song of the Month. The song Chvrches did for Death Stranding is fantastic, and the new Monowhales single is pretty bangin’, too.
But I had to signal boost the new track from Winnipeg’s Efflo. I’ve featured them before a few times, and their new song, Horror Movie, is as beautifully different as ever (though the video should probably have an epilepsy warning).
I do have to laugh that they said at the beginning of the year their sound was going to become more positive, and this is what they’ve come out with. Not that I’m complaining — I love bleak music, and they’re masters of the form.
Really enjoyed that song. I do wonder when that same vocal style that every band seems to need to have now (new wave elf?) will become passe.
I haven’t heard anyone who sounds anything like Sadye. If you’ve got examples, please link them — I’d love to hear more bands like this.
