Five guitar tracks to rock out to this week
Including songs by Girl Band and The Raconteurs.
Feel like you’ve missed out on the week’s biggest releases? No worries, we’ve got you covered with a list of the best and latest guitar tracks. Here are five that you have to hear:
Giving Up by Whitney
Gentle, bucolic instrumentation permeates the melancholic Giving Up, the new song by Chicago indie group Whitney and single that leads their sophomore album, Forever Turned Around.
Shoulderblades by Girl Band
Girl Band took a well-deserved break after the release of their 2016 debut, Holding Hands With Jamie. The Dublin noise rockers will return this year with The Talkies, which features the single Shoulderblades. It serves grit and groove in equal measure, with plenty of fuzzy, distorted squalls for your enjoyment.
Shockwave by Liam Gallagher
Shockwave is the lead single of Why Me? Why Not., Liam Gallagher’s second solo album. A bright, strummy guitar motif leads this new track, which boasts a hell of a singalong chorus.
Bored And Razed by The Raconteurs
The Raconteurs’ new single, Bored And Razed, came out of live jam sessions, and its squealing guitar lines retain the white-hot improvisational energy of that setting. It’s an exciting preview of Help Us Stranger, the band’s first album in over a decade.
Conversation Piece by Julien Baker
Conversation Piece is the B-side of a single Julien Baker released on vinyl for Record Store Day earlier this year. Now, both songs have been made available on streaming services. A luminous, looping guitar line lays the groundwork for the singer-songwriter’s emotive lyrics on this track.
