Hello and welcome to our latest in the running series, Three Songs To The Head. Here we offer three songs we can’t stop thinking about, three songs we love, three songs we want to share with you. In this installment we feature Prom Queen, Mike and Matty, and Syrinx Effect. Enjoy!

When I stumbled upon a live Prom Queen record, I was thrilled. I’ve listened to her Night Sound album, her bonus material and her covers album many times since finding out about her some two years ago. I’ve even listened to some of her Chiptune tracks. But a live album, that’s new! “This Towm Ain’t Big Enough” is a track I first heard on Sean De Tore’s Mixtape podcast. I grew to love it as a solo acoustic tune, but with the band behind her, Prom Queen sounds even more powerful. Her album, Live at The Triple Door, is a treat and this is my favorite track on it. Check out the bouffant crooner, who has a new album and series of music videos coming soon!

Mike and Matty are brothers. Formerly of the Seattle band, Curtains For You, the two have created a new project. Their song “Second Son” is in line with the Appalachian folk tunes running rampant in Seattle, but this particular track sticks in your mind more than most. The roller coaster harmonies and the bright clean acoustics are pleasant and fun. The track appears on the duo’s new album, Harbor Island, and will not be the last you hear from the brothers Gervais.  We’re sure of that.

At first I didn’t know what to make of Syrinx Effect, but the more I gave it a chance, the more I wanted to understand it, and be a part of it – or, have it be a part of me. The woodwinds attempt to hypnotize you on their opening track “rakaD” and the sampled sounds hit you like quick left and right jabs. There is a tenderness in the tune, though, that catches you, like hands cupping your face. This is a case where the band got in touch with us to share their music via our submission page, and we are happy they did. We look forward to more from Syrinx, and hope they continue on their journey of experimentation.
