Ben Burroughs Releases Any Day Now

We’ve been gone for a wee bit now, and with that, it’s time to revisit some of the tracks that hit as we were wrapping up 2022. Right as we ended our coverage, Ben Burroughs dropped his latest album, Any Day Now, featuring the remarkable little pop jaunt below. There’s something in the guitar line that feels like galloping through some vast expanse, the sun shining in the distance. I love Burrough’s soft voice, especially when the fuzziness of the pedals gets a little stomp and ramps up the rock n’ roll. So, if you’re looking for a nice crips piece of guitar pop, then seems like you couldn’t find a better place to kick off then right here.

Jeanines Announce New Album, Don’t Wait for a Sign

This is the best Wednesday news I never expected! New Jeanines! The band today announce Don’t Wait for a Sign, doing so with a spritely pop ditty to hum in your head all day. There’s this timelessness in Alicia’s performance here, her voice rising and falling, always hitting the perfect pop notes. Those looking for the perfect piece of indiepop won’t find a better tune nodding to the past and living in the present of the genre. The brevity is perfect too, as you can circle back and fall even further in love with each repeated listen, as I’ve been doing the last hour or so. Don’t Wait for a Sign is the fifth release from Slumberland Records this year, and the fifth that’s certainly going to end up on my shelf; the hits just keep on coming.
