Hometown Sounds

Veteran synthpop band Incredible Change hit the 9:30 Club stage tonight with Honest Haloway and two great bands from Baltimore, Joseph & the Beats and Sweepstakes. IC slowly trickles out new songs featuring singer AIVA via their SoundCloud feed, and the newest “Soothing S.W.I.M.” dropped earlier this week. The New Order-influenced song also got this meditative music video accompaniment of timelapse footage shot in South Beach, Miami and the Outer Banks. Here’s what the band says about the new song:

Soothing
Someone
Who
Isn’t
Me
shall wash your body and soul over and under. Let the waves caress you, and the sand touch your feet. Let your weight float in the sea, and breath in the salty air. Rinse and repeat. Is it being unable to be soothed, or maybe it’s about seeking out a Soothing SWIM. Or perhaps its a desire to feel what you’ve felt before or have never felt before.

We’ve told you a few times now about Incredible Change, the hot hot synthpop band fronted by Ra Ra Rasputin’s Brock Boss. Their short tour with The Jaguar Club from NYC and Baltimore’s Joseph & the Beasts hits our fair town Saturday night at DC9. This video from last year for “Ecce Mono”, on their FREE self-titled debut EP, shows how much of an intense workout drumming really is. Just try to burn that many calories dancing!

Synthpop band Incredible Change continues, despite the recent departure of female vocalist Deena OH. “Night Falls”, a new single not included on their FREE original self-titled debut EP, came out a couple of months ago with this vibrant music video shot by Deena and frontman Brock Boss in one long night from 8 PM to 5 AM. Come meet new vocalist Sarah Stevenson at their next show Saturday March 28th at DC9 with Baltimore’s Joseph and the Beats and The Jaguar Club from Brooklyn, sand RSVP already!
