“Mean Streets”
TENNIS
This indie Denver trio releases its new Richard Swift-produced EP Small Sound on Nov. 5, and while name-checking the famous Martin Scorsese movie, lead track “Mean Streets” is a funky flow lifted high by Ailana Moore’s vocals to create a strutting pop confection.
“El rito”
DESTROYER
Last we heard from Destroyer, the band was swimming in early-’80s slow jam territory. Now, Spanish musician Antonio Luque has written songs for new release Five Spanish Songs. This track is all crunchy pop guitars, hand claps and Dan Bejar easing into his rolled R’s.
