Mr Jayden Liew on his Road to Success in this Active Issue
MUSIC 1. CHAOSMOSIS
MUSIC 1. CHAOSMOSIS PRIMAL SCREAM Cult British band Primal Scream is back once again with their highly anticipated new album ‘Chaosmosis’. As with all of their albums, the band’s 11th studio release takes on another musical element. The six-second YouTube trailer released to promote the album seems to suggest a more dance floor indie-rock sound with a driving beat and catchy guitar loop. With Primal Scream revealing no secrets yet, buying the album would be the best way to find out, but one thing that’s guaranteed is an album packed with the band’s signature brilliance. 2. THE WHITE ALBUM WEEZER Weezer is back with the self-titled and eagerly anticipated ‘White Album’, their 10th studio album. Inspired by the band’s experiences with living in the west side of Los Angeles, frontman Rivers Cuomo has promised a more Beach Boys-like sound with all the quirky stylings the band has come to been known for. Album single ‘King Of The World’ is an instant classic hit with their signature upbeat guitar riffs and anthemic choruses. 3. SURRENDER HURTS One of the most exciting new albums to come out recently, ‘Surrender’ is the newest offering from British synthpop duo Hurts. Packed with moving hooks and poetic lyrics, Theo Hutchcraft and Adam Anderson are at their absolute finest. Their third studio album beautifully touches on the darker topics the group tends to gravitate towards; however, in this skyscraper of a record, they manage to maintain a sense of optimism by highlighting the silver linings in their narratives. 4. LIVE AND ACOUSTIC AT THE PALACE THE USED One of the alternative scene’s most successful bands, The Used has recently announced the release of their latest album, a live recording of their sold-out acoustic performances at the iconic Palace in Downtown, LA to celebrate their 15th anniversary. Backed by an accompanying orchestra, this impressive set includes some of their greatest hits, including ‘The Taste Of Ink’, ‘All That I’ve Got’ and ‘The Bird And The Worm’. 38 TM | MARCH/APRIL 2016
