Stream Posmic’s Sun Hymns EP

Posmic is a relatively new band featuring members of Post Pink and Wildhoney, and their new Sun Hymns EP is officially available for your indulgence as you go on your day. It’s going to be impossible to pigeonhole the group, as each song on this EP seems to branch into varying genres, dabbling in elements of psychedelic pop or touching on fuzzy power pop or linking up with more modern notes. “Whirly King,” for instance, sounds like the band said “Parquet Courts are cool, but what if they made less spastic pop jams with dueling vocal melodies?” Then there are other tunes that feel like the band’s DC area locale bleeds into the tunes, such as on “Mynah Hymn.” And don’t miss out by jamming to a few tunes, as “Black and Blue” is one of the EP’s secret weapons! Sun Hymns is officially out tomorrow via Let’s Pretend Records.

Gritty Pop From Vacation

Summer presses along this week with no more soccer to watch but plenty of rocking tunes to add to your playlist. On this lovely Monday morning we have this new track called “Deflector Head” from Cincinnati based rock group Vacation. The song has a very nice, gritty, driving pop/rock sound to it perfect for your next pool party or adventure.

Vacation will release new album Mouth Sounds #2699 on July 27th via Let’s Pretend Records.

This Middle Children Track is a Jam

While this track may have already gotten tons of Internet love yesterday, it’s just too good for me to pass up. Middle Children are an Indiana outfit, apparently intent on just bringing in huge hooks of the guitar sort. The driving energy of this particular track is immediately apparent, with a slight hint of attitude coming through the vocals. It all adds towards a power-pop fans delight, rolling lyrics to match the emphatic drum beats. Wasn’t sure where power-pop had gone this year, but it looks like it’s alive and well here. Look for the group’s Earth Angel on March 3rd from Lets Pretend Records.
