SINGLE REVIEW: Baz Ravish - Pretty Name
Baz Ravish, a psychedelic rock and punk five-piece originating from the Northern Rivers area of New South Wales, Australia, has been leaving an indelible mark with their genre-blending fusion of punk, psych-rock, and dark country blues. Their latest single, 'Pretty Name,' takes listeners on a captivating journey through a blues ballad that captures the essence of 60s and 70s garage and psychedelic rock.
This single acts as a teaser for their upcoming album, 'Severed Heads,' a musical exploration of the theme of severance within the Australian political and international musical landscapes. The album promises a more matured sonic profile compared to their initial release, seamlessly blending post, psychedelic, and progressive rock with punk and dark country blues.
Immersing myself in 'Pretty Name,' the song unfolds into a highly atmospheric soundscape. The instrumentation strikes a harmonious balance, oscillating between grandeur and a fantastic DIY bedroom rock vibe. The vocals resonate with strength and passion, embracing a real and authentic rawness that perfectly complements the overall essence of the track. Despite its slightly slower pace, 'Pretty Name' remains an impassioned and authentic listen, echoing the band's genre-defying style and setting the stage for their forthcoming album.
