There’s a few artists we’ve come across over the years that, when the announcement of new music of any sort arrives, we automatically start a draft or add the album or tune to a usually already in progress year end list because what they’ve created thus far is just that damn good.

After covering the brilliant “Colors” single by Lowell’s own Tysk Tysk Task, we somehow managed to drop the ball and completely miss the equally brilliant “Rosegold” released in late July (Check it out here)… but we’ll be damned if we miss out again! Well, a little at least seeing as we missed the release of “Ocean Now” by a week or two. Hey, we’re trying!

Wow, Lowell is really bringing it lately! Within the last month or so alone we’ve covered artists from the city in Middlesex County who are exquisitely brandishing variations of Darkwave, Alt-Folk, and more with Tysk Tysk Task arriving and adding to that list with their self-described “Indie Grunge Rock”.
