SV-black luck, black label-badmixNoBass
“Black Luck, Black Label,” Source Victoria. And while I’m pimping people I like, I want you guys to listen to this song. It’s a great piano-driven ballad by Source Victoria, whose frontman and principal songwriter is personal acquaintance Brendan (brother of So Much Silence frontman and principal blogger Kevin).
The thing is, this track hasn’t been released. Officially, it’s not even finished; the bass part is missing. But Kevin sent it to me because he loved it, and I do too. Source Victoria has a really good album under their belt, but this song just got under my skin last year and stayed there. It starts slow but builds to a nice crescendo; it’s subtle and sophisticated and wonderfully melodic. The real hook starts around 2:10, when Brendan sings the hell out of a heartbroken passage you know came from experience: “When you said goodnight, I didn’t know you meant tonight.”
I hope you like this as much as I do.
