Rick Dufff’s “Conseervative” is a bold track riding the deep waves of change

Rick Dufff’s new single, “Conseervative,” makes it clear with a bold, indelible voice that won’t be ignored. From the moment Rick strikes the first deep, resonant note of his signature down-tuned baritone guitar on his upcoming album, a brand-new first foray into the instrumental territory, he creates an original and familiar sound. A counterpoint that fittingly doubles as a reflection of the song’s profound subject matter, the momentous political turmoil forever transforming our world. What makes “Conseervative” stand out is its adventurous musicality. The down-tuned baritone guitar is the beating heart of the track.

This instrument’s lavish bottom end gives the song a gravitas, firmly planting it in a seriousness that reflects the actual life-altering times Rick’s lyrics reference. Not often does a single guitar tone communicate so much, but in Rick’s hands, it becomes an extension of its own, speaking for urgency and strength without saying a single word. “Conseervative” doesn’t mince words about the contradictory complexity surrounding the global political stage. Rick’s message is a call to recognize and confront the shifts taking place across the globe. A tension of challenge and hope courses through the track, simultaneously recognizing the hardships and urging listeners to stand up and navigate these uncertain waters. And what’s heartening about Rick Dufff’s method is how human and relatable it is.

It’s a passionate outcry from an artist who is listening to what the country is saying. You can hear his conviction and passion in every riff, every phrase, making “Conseervative” a conversation starter, a soundtrack for reflection and action. In a music industry that can find itself woefully saturated with disposable trends and reshaped sounds, “Conseervative” by Rick Dufff finds itself as a bright and exhilarating track. It’s a daring pronouncement, swaddled in rich, sonorous tones, and it beckons listeners to trek alongside Rick as he navigates the rocky terrains of politics and personal belief.

pixelgrinder powers up a dark and fully charged new release titled “Nocturnal”

Manchester, NH-based electronic-rock artist pixelgrinder steps boldly into the dark with debut release “Nocturnal.” It’s an amped-up set that trims both mood and muscle. As a creator of music made with cochlear implants, pixelgrinder has always found ways to defy listeners’ expectations creatively, by crafting all-encompassing soundscapes that are equal parts cinematic, mechanical, and deeply human.

“Nocturnal” ventures deeper into rock-based space than the artist’s debut album without straying from the dark electronic pulse that makes up pixelgrinder’s persona. Industrial textures scrape against great guitar lines, with driving rhythms injecting an alt-rock urgency that lends the project a solid late-night energy. The effect is less that of a gradual slipping into darkness than that of movement through it, unbending, concentrated and thrilling.

What makes “Nocturnal” interesting is how transitional it feels. This release serves as a stepping stone of sorts, linking past experiments in digital emotion whatever’s next. Hints of influence seem to come from darkwave and industrial rock, edging towards the more aggressive electronic body music on offer here, with its intensified percussion and broadened vocal arrangements that White Mask promises to deliver. On “Nocturnal,” pixelgrinder crystallizes a vision, and it’s a dark statement that hints at evolution, ambition, and an unquiet creativity that refuses to go into standby mode.
