Wednesday Comes in Loud With Bubble Riddim and Power-Pop Rush
Wednesday’s Come Thru Vocals throws iKeda’s “Tiger Tiger” against Imperial Teen’s “Overdrive” for a double shot of restless pop instinct. One bends dancehall, electronic pop and storybook mischief into something wonderfully strange; the other rides urgent guitars, stacked harmonies and a hook built to move.
Two tracks. Two discoveries. One daily detour.
Come Thru Vocals is INYIM’s long-running daily music discovery series spotlighting voices and songs worth hearing. Selections may also move into Musique Dig’s Weekly Playlist and rotation on INYIM Radio.
iKeda
Tune: “Tiger Tiger”
WHY IT CAUGHT OUR EAR
“Tiger Tiger” takes iKeda’s self-described bubble-riddim world and pushes it into full storybook chaos, with nursery-rhyme phrasing crashing into bass-heavy electronic production. Inspired by The Tiger Who Came to Tea, it is playful without going soft — odd, loud and completely committed to its own little universe.
Imperial Teen
Tune: “Overdrive”
WHY IT CAUGHT OUR EAR
“Overdrive” comes charging in on a sleek guitar line with just enough impatience underneath to keep the whole thing buzzing. The lead single from Imperial Teen’s All Over You turns flirtation into fizzy power-pop propulsion, with Will Schwartz’s vocal and the band’s trademark harmonies making three minutes feel like one long forward motion.
