best-songs-2015-so-far-one-for-the-people

It is that time of the year again or maybe a little past that time of year if we're being totally honest but never-the-less, we have a list compiled of some of the best tracks to slap us in the chops and make us take note this year - even adding them to our Certified Tracks section. Just to be a bit different, we will be throwing some album tracks in the mix to highlight how important it is not to solely rely on blogs posting song after song, and what a front-to-back album can offer.

First off, we've so far had 12 brilliant tracks and they're all featured in our CT15 section of the website, but keep reading to find out why we think they're so good. On top of that, like we've just said, we'll shuffle the pack and highlight some songs that haven't featured on the site because they're album tracks. So here goes.

Tamaryn has unveiled "Last", the latest song to sneak peak her upcoming album Cranekiss, which is out on Mexican Summer, August 28th.


Phoenix from the flames Tamaryn unveils the new video for "Cranekiss", the title track from her upcoming album out on August 28th through Mexican Summer.



Been keeping half an eye on the ventures of Tamaryn, especially since she chose to opt out of the dreamy shoegaze she was creating on gems like "Dawning", and to be completely honest, we were worried. We needn't have been though, as this new project has just spawned a colossus of a track in "Cranekiss".

Hopefully by now, people understand we're not a site that regurgitates a press release into something less concise and altogether disingenuous - naming no names. We heard the first track and we didn't know altogether what to make of it, so reserved comment till things became more clear to us - mainly because we loved her previous work with Rex John Shelverton.

"Cranekiss" is that moment for us, that moment of clarity and understanding, of what Tamaryn's latest venture is and means. "Cranekiss" is doused in energy and gives off an essence of vigour and revitalisation. Tamaryn's vocals aren't too different to what we grew to love, only possessing a rich clarity rather than cloaked wooze. "Cranekiss" floats along with a thin dream-pop coating, only to be covering a deep and burning desire. Fresh is a term used too often in this industry, but one that couldn't befit this track any better.

Below you can stream "Cranekiss" and previous track, "Hands All Over Me". Cranekiss is the title track to Tamaryn's upcoming third LP, set for release through Mexican Summer on August 28th - grab a pre-order now.
