Murmur Tooth and Lars Moston Make the Most Out of Their New Single “Antidote”

New Zealand-based metal guitarist, classical pianist, and singer-songwriter Leah Hinton (also known as Murmur Tooth) is teaming up with the house DJ and producer Lars Moston for the new single “Antidote”. The collaboration decidedly leans more towards the pop end of the spectrum but manages to hang on to the sum of its parts as a yearning energy radiates through the electronic house beats.

The unlikely duo home on romantic, end-of-summer vibes for this song as the chill composition feels airy and refreshing. Each note feels warm and full of nostalgia leaning on the danceability of the backbeat to drive a strong surge of joy to the forefront. As Hinton offers up breathy vocals that suspend in time and space, Moston effortlessly keeps the party going.

As the follow-up to their remix of Claptone’s “Beautiful” and the first single from their collaborative upcoming album, this is a song that treads interesting sonic ground. Time will tell whether Moston holds the reigns on the music compositions, or if some of Murmur Tooth’s metal influences will come forward. Either way, this hybrid collaboration makes for something new and interesting that will surely spawn an eclectic album with plenty of heart and soul to go around.

“Antidote” is available now on major streaming platforms like Spotify and Apple Music. Find this and more excellent music on the Alchemical Records Multigenre Mixture Playlist on Spotify.

Foghat’s Roger Earl Refuses to Slow His Ride

By this point in his life, Foghat founding drummer Roger Earl has visited quite a few doctors. But what may be surprising is that the percussionist, 77, is quick to point out that many of the medical professionals who have worked on him also enjoy rocking out.

“Nearly all the doctors and surgeons I know, they all play something: trumpet, sax, violin, guitar,” Earl said recently. “There’s not too many drummers that are surgeons, there’s probably a good reason for that!”

Earl half-jokingly invites his surgeon-rockers to join him and the other members of Foghat onstage at the Fillmore in Silver Spring March 9, where they will be headlining the Rock and Roll for Children Foundation benefit for the Children’s Inn at NIH. Earl, the only original member of Foghat still in the band, will be banging the skins behind guitarist Bryan Bassett and other members Scott Holt and Rodney O’Quinn. “Slow Ride,” the band’s 1975 megahit, is all but assured to be on the setlist, along with tunes from Foghat’s most recent record, “Sonic Mojo.”
