Thursday Moves From Quiet Wonder to Manchester Urgency
Tasha’s “Special” and The Flints’ “The Time Is Now” arrive from opposite ends of the emotional spectrum, but both are about recognizing the moment while you’re still inside it. Tasha moves with soft-focus patience and a newly learned clarinet; The Flints answer with warm distortion, jangling guitars and the restless pull of Manchester.
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.
Tasha
Tune: Special
WHY IT CAUGHT OUR EAR
“Special” is the kind of record that never raises its voice because it doesn’t need to. Tasha lets the arrangement breathe around her, then slips in a clarinet solo she learned to play herself as a way of shaking loose some new inspiration. The result is warm, drowsy and intimate—less about making a grand declaration than noticing the beauty already sitting in the room.
The Flints
Tune: The Time Is Now
WHY IT CAUGHT OUR EAR
The Flints make “The Time Is Now” feel familiar without turning nostalgia into costume. Twin brothers George and Henry Flint lean into a bassline, jangling guitar and warm distortion that carry the unmistakable pull of Manchester, while the vocal keeps pressing forward toward desire, collision and whatever comes next. They’ve described that feeling as a kind of false nostalgia for an era they never actually lived through—and that tension is exactly what gives the track its spark.
Listen to “The Time Is Now” on The Flints’ official Bandcamp.
