Artist: Koser
Song: “MiNT”
Album: Loudmouth Soup EP
Genre: Rock, Soul, Indie
Per their Spotify bio, Koser are a newborn Philly five-piece, with a queer and sober frontwoman alongside Philly’s danciest virtuosos. While maybe not officially newborn (their first single online is from 2019), the group dropped their debut EP just last year. Mixing sounds of alternative rock, R&B, soul and a dabbling of other influences, the band comes with a unique sound that spits on classification.
The song of theirs that first caught my ear is the undeniable “MiNT”. The track almost tricks you with its delicate, indie-rock intro, cause when the sultry, R&B-esque vocals come in with the power chords, the song pushes into bigger pop-rock stations. On the chorus, the vocals shoot towards full-on soul, while a Thin Lizzy guitar solo drops a groove bomb. It doesn’t take long to realize this is a very catchy song that could have played as well in the heyday of Fleetwood Mac as it does today.
