Oursoundmusic.com Deputy Editor and podcast host Adam Wright has a great show this week, with not one but two interviews, our Single Of The Week and two early plays of upcoming releases.
The Institutes return with the epic 'I Just Can't Keep Myself From Loving You', a song that, according to vocalist Reid Zappa Currie, is about "passionate unconditional love for something or someone, without any choice, no matter what they put you through, no matter what they think of you or what they give in return. Love-Hate relationships, addictions anything that might be a burden of love, a commitment of passion and pain". The song opens with the Coventry band's distinctive wall of sound which is fast becoming their trademark; the sound is full, the melody anthemic. With a feeling of summer and of that anything can happen, 'I Just Can't Keep Myself From Loving You', is the soundtrack to our recent hot weather, to our optimism that life is getting back to normal. A great song that is our well deserved Single Of The Week.

The Zen Arcade are a four piece made up of three members of The Strypes - and they have released their new EP ‘High Fidelity’. Since forming in 2019, the band have launched their own label, podcast and ‘zine - and have now released three great tracks that make up the EP. The title track is killer - an indie-pop masterpiece. ‘Don’t Say A Word’ is riff heavy, fast affair that defies you not to nod your head along with the beat. The EP rounds off with ‘Higher Fidelity’ which is the band’s podcast - an episode that talks about the title track and serves as a fascinating behind the scenes discussion. Original and trendsetting, the ‘High Fidelity’ EP is our erm Single Of The Week.
