They simply don’t make albums like Thought Bubble, from The Scrub Ups, anymore. And, we’re not just talking about the full 11 tracks the band cranks out on this affair, either. No, this is something like, but actually much more than, a throwback to when music was raucous, unbridled, and something altogether of its own. The project takes the best of music of all genres or, perhaps, of the rock variety from which hit’s obviously descended. The songs are unusually fast—for music these days—consistently hovering around the 120 BPM marker.

The sincerity of the latest effort from 1499, Love, is unassailable. In fact, it’s everywhere on this seven-cut affair.

It’s evinced in the name of this collection of cuts, and certainly in the heartfelt vocals, which are greatly attributed to the stylistic renderings of Eric Welz and Carolyn Thomas. The sincerity of the work becomes most manifest, perhaps, in the lyrics. Many of the tunes eschew the fast food pop rhymes dominating the themes of most songs heard today for a more candid and truthful interpretation of honest sentiment.

There’s not a lot of tracks out there that even remotely sound like what Aronieme’s putting down on “Hallow”, her latest release.

Aronieme, who’s credited with producing and performing on the single, manages to go more than halfway before dropping one, although she teases and taunts her way through the majority of the affair with pregnant, thought-provoking kicks—alluding to a rhythm more than riding one, which is typically the case of with modern pop efforts.
