New Jam from Rodents

piizaEveryone knows how much I appreciate the hard work of the folks over at Art Is Hard Records, especially when it comes to their unique singles series, like this latest from the label’s Pizza Club Series. It’s an upbeat jam from Rodents, with similarities to other acts kicking out slacker surf jams.  The vocals and drums sort of create the sensation of riding a wave, fitting the band perfectly into the aformentioned genre.  Just figured it was a sweet jam to help you kick start your energy after lunch-induced coma.

Girl Pop from Ali Koehler (Vivian Girls/Best Coast)

It seems like every woman ever connected with Vivian Girls likes to keep herself busy, and Ali Koehler isn’t any different from the rest.  She’s recently recorded this nice little gem for Art Is Hard’s Pizza Club, and it’s quite a nice bit of pop.  It’s not a long track by any means, and it doesn’t really need to be, as the hooks come as soon as Ali opens her mouth.  Sure, you’ll find similarities with the other acts she’s been associated with, but this sounds so much sweeter, in an innocent pop songstress sort of way.  Hope you dig it.
