Listen: Oreyeon share new single ‘I’m Your Mistake’

It’s not been long since Oreyeon released their ‘Echoes of Old Nightmares’ single, which re-introduced the Italian doom band to many in classic style. Across that track’s four and a half minutes, the musicians cranked their way through a selection of fuzzy riffs that sometimes sounded like Clutch in a really bad mood, often bringing a melodic charm to their weighty sound.

THE REAL GONE SINGLES BAR #117

Every visit to the Real Gone Singles Bar uncovers new treats, but as we start to pull towards the end of a UK summer, this selection shares a couple of really special tracks. A new offering from a UK born/Dubai based soul singer could be one of the best things you’ll hear before the autumnal weather sets in; a couple of legends provide the basis for a near perfect reggae banger, and an underground electronica musician really stretches out on his current single. We’ve also got a piece of fairly traditional sounding country, a loving tribute to a classic grunge sound, and a huge alternative rock tune from a band making their debut. As always, we hope you find something to enjoy.
