Tucker Theodore Shares Hollow ft. Midwife

Being snowed up in your house is a weird feeling; you’re just putting music on loops and staring out the window, or playing, but right now, I’m mostly staring. With that, music like Tucker Theodore‘s has a tendency to get stuck in your head; it has this circular nature, almost creating a pattern to your listening, even where no pattern exists. There are some slow moments of build in here too, letting the noise elements run through your veins, sending little nervous shivers at each little twist and turn. This track appears on Lewiston by the Sea, the new LP via Antiquated Future, out today!

 

New-ish Music from Fred Thomas

We all know and adore Fred Thomas, right? He’s worked and played with everyone, but today let us focus on the announcement of a forthcoming B-Sides and Rarities titled Another Song About Riding the Bus, Collected Songs 2002-2020. This release is part of the new Selected Series, highlighting overlooked artists and their works. How do we listen to Fred and not just swoon? Maybe because I was super into Saturday Looks Good to Me, or maybe its just this refined pop sound, but I can’t ever seem to pull away here; its like a damned tractor beam pulling in me and my wallet. Never a bad day to celebrate Fred, so enjoy this number. Antiquated Future Records will release this collection on October 26th.

 

Digging on Sara Renberg

Something about simple pop songs with tongue-in-cheek lyrical content always finds a special place in my heart, which is why I’ve been digging on Sara Renberg such a great deal as of late. In the track below, there exists something that immediately makes her music familiar, as if you’ve been listening to her for years. Perhaps it’s the fact that Sara seems like she’s having a great time just writing the songs, maybe even cracking little jokes to herself as she pens the lyrics. She’ll have a new records titled Night Sands out on February 2nd via Antiquated Future Records.
