The Pheromoans Share New Single, Announce New LP

Leave a comment

I have a tendency to fall in love with music that seems like it doesn’t give a shit. Now, that doesn’t mean that the Perhomoans don’t give a shit about you or about how good their songs are, it just means they embrace this cooled indifference that allows them to exist in your pocket, ready to be shared with your closest musical allies. This new single feels like the best single that Robert Pollard never wrote. There’s clarity in the mix, which really allows the listener to focus on the personal narration of the vocals. Guitars turn on a dime, wrapping themselves around every beat and word. Honestly, it’s one of those things where its so good you can’t even describe it, you just feel how good it is. The band release Wyrd Psearch on March 1st via Upset the Rhythm.

Gabriella Cohen Signs to Captured Tracks

Leave a comment

This song and announcement deserves some love today, even if you’ve already heard Gabriella Cohen‘s Full Closure and No Details. Captured Tracks just announced they’ve added the Aussie songwriter to their stable, after already adding the smoky voice of Molly Burch. Here, there’s a bit more of a dreamier aspect in Cohen’s voice, with the music reminiscent of a polished Shannon and the Clams; the chords hide in the background and backing vocals harmonize with the natural melody. I’m in, so I’ll definitely be picking up a copy of the record when it’s reissued on March 3rd.
