TINA – ” Positive Mental Health Music “

Positive Mental Health Music is the first full-length to be released by London label Speedy Wunderground (black midi, Black Country New Road, Squid). Produced by Dan Carey, the album is full of playful indie rock and psych-pop, soundtracking what happens when mental health crises and inner demons threaten to get the best of you. Joshua Loftin’s high-pitched vocals, along with their rollicking guitars and keys, are a welcome break in the clouds.

Despite this landmark moment and its loaded title, frontman Joshua Loftin is keen to downplay the potentially profound nature of the LP.

“I wouldn’t call it a concept record,” he tells us. “We didn’t even come up with the title. A friend came to a show at the Five Bells in New Cross, and afterwards he was like, ‘I like it, it’s like positive mental health music’. I thought it was cool and it just stuck. The mental health thing became a bit more of a focus for me because I had a breakdown about two years ago and that’s where the songs came from.”

‘Rosalina’ is taken from the forthcoming debut Tiña album ‘Positive Mental Health Music’ out 6th November 2020 on Speedy Wunderground.

Sheer Mag

Here’s another glammy rocker from Sheer Mag’s forthcoming “A Distant Call”. Says the band’s guitarist, Matt Palmer, of the song and its video: “In ‘Hardly to Blame’ we see the psychic landscape of Philadelphia transformed by the collapse of Tina’s relationship with her partner. The streets they used to walk together, the bars they used to drink at, and the friends they used to share have all been tainted by the lingering memories of their time together. Closing out side A of A Distant Call, ‘Hardly to Blame’ shows Tina spiraling further down and down. Unfortunately the worst is yet to come, but “Hardly to Blame” gives us a glimpse at someone who thinks they’ve hit bedrock, unaware that the bottom is about to drop out.”

“A Distant Call” is due out 23rd August 2019
