50 Issue 85 / 2016 INDIE TRACK OF THE MONTH: 77 BOMBAY STREET - SEVEN MOUNTAINS The music industry has lost another legend with the passing of George Martin, 'the fifth Beatle' 'Seven Mountains' comes with B-side 'Once & Only' The four brothers - Matt, Joe, Simri-Ramon and Esra Buchli - draw common comparisons to The Beatles, Snow Patrol and Kings of Leon although the band say they seldom listen to contemporary music, being driven by their own life experiences as influence. "The lead single 'Seven Mountains' is a reference to our ups and downs. As a band, we have really been shaken about over the past few years: we had to find ourselves anew," says Matt Buchli. At 90 years old, George Martin, a truly influential figure in the music industry has passed away. Martin, then part of EMI, was the first to sign The Beatles in their infancy. Martin took a chance on The Beatles and helped shape their talents into a developed sound that would sell to the masses. Although over the years Martin and The Beatles disputed over his role in creating their iconic sound, with John Lennon specifically challenging his accreditation, these statements were later retracted. Following Martin's passing, Paul McCartney has stated on his website that Martin "rightfully earned the title of the Fifth Beatle." Martin's legacy in the music industry will not be forgotten, his experimentalism helped the Beatles develop the sound we've all come to know and love. NEWS: SAYING GOODBYE TO A LEGEND ALBUM OF THE MONTH: MIIKE SNOW - III Four years after the release of their last album, the Swedish trio Miike Snow is back with their third album Miike Snow is the epitome of indie- pop. With the smooth vocals of Andrew Wyatt in the hands of the talented production team Bloodshy & Avant, they succeed at fusing the sounds of two complementary genres, culminating in upbeat catchy songs packed with emotion. Their third album, [iii], is more a melding of the two previous albums, with catchy songs like 'Ghengis Khan' racking up attention for the album, and more mellow songs like 'I Feel the Weight' conveying the ever-evolving sound of the group. Whilst 'Ghengis Khan' expresses the frustrating feelings of being emotionally territorial in a label-less relationship, 'I Feel the Weight' touches on the heaviness of letting go of love. Each song is as unique as the next, as Miike Snow continues to branch out, and take from different genres. The group actually stated the influence of hip hop on this album, which is clearly heard on 'Back of the Car'. Although new for Miike Snow, and debatably a risky move, the group succeeds by retaining their signature sound, but with a new twist. With each album being a departure from the sounds of the previous, Miike Snow shows that the trio is in a constant flux of experiment within the realms of indie-pop.
