We are coming back with "Loud Sounds" to show you some of the best new tracks we've found.
Bathe Alone – Blame Me

The song's warm tape sound, dreamy guitars and wounded vocal performance set the scene for a bitter yet extremely catchy song about the Atlanta-based singer and multi-instrumentalist Bailey Crone's own experience with being gaslit and going through a sitation that turned out to be leading to divorce.

Bathe Alone
This song is a reflection on my response to being gaslit for calling out the truth during what would ultimately get the ball rolling on the divorce. I brought up my suspicion about some unacceptable behavior in my marriage, and my husband completely went off the deep end. He stormed out of the situation and basically tried to make me feel crazy for interpreting his behavior as infidelity. I was trying to find a resolution, but he didn't want to acknowledge his contribution to the problem. It felt like all of a sudden there were two teams, and I was outnumbered by one. We had gone to couples therapy, and the therapist even pointed out flaws in his thinking about this other woman. In this song, I'm looking back, knowing my gut was right the whole time.

JT Roach – Bodies on the Floor (Remix by Banyan)

Banyan is the production duo of Michael Saenz and Logan Gomez who have been making music together since college. Their fresh remix of JT Roach's "Bodies on the Floor" makes his ethereal falsetto really shine by setting it against deep bass, crisp UKG-tinged drums and atmospheric synth textures. Read the artists' comments to learn about the song's deeper meaning.

Banyan
After first discovering JT's music through a playlist we curate, we instantly knew we had to reach out about working together.
JT (who has worked with the likes of SLANDER and Audien) has one of the most hauntingly beautiful falsetto voices we've ever heard, so when he invited us to remix the lead single from his forthcoming solo album, we didn't hesitate to dive right in.
Our remix of 'Bodies On The Floor' is an emotional and hauntingly beautiful journey that we think really reflects the dual meaning behind the record, which at it's surface is a sensual love ballad but beneath touches on some of the pain JT was processing at the time about the prevalence of gun violence here in America.
From JT: "Bodies On The Floor" is a focus single of my debut album "Death As A Lover". A goal of mine in writing this album was to write songs that had dual meanings to me. I was inspired by songs like "Hey Ya" and "Pumped Up Kicks" that seem like one thing but when you dig into the lyrics they surprise you. On the surface, you can play the entire album and hear the songs as simple stories about love. From a darker perspective, you can also hear all the songs being about death. "Bodies On The Floor" can be heard on the surface as a simple song about two people falling for each other, but I also wrote it about my anger and sadness in regards to gun violence in the United States. I was so stoked when Banyan reached out to produce an alternate version of the song because I knew it would be powerful with a full groove as the original has no drums. Sure enough, they killed it. I'm grateful for the remixes of this album because I think they will help the songs reach a whole different audience.
