More New Music from Hayman Kupa Band

Leave a comment

haymankupaI recently wrote about how prolific Darren Hayman has been, having just released a new single for Fortuna Pop. Now he’s back with the Hayman Kupa Band, comprised primarily of he and Emma Kupa of Mammoth Penguins/Standard Fare. Emma opens up this new track claiming “I’m an asshole,” which is the self-deprecating humor that pervades the song, though it’s truly a song about longing for a partner. It’s hard to turn away from this sprite-ly tune…in part because it’s so great, and also because these two have been such a huge part of my listening as of the last few years. I particularly love Emma’s vocals just around the 2 minute mark. Enjoy this track, and keep your ears peeled for more from the band.

unnamed-42Mothers, from Athens, Georgia, have released a new video for the single, “Copper Mines” off their debut albumWhen You Walk a Long Distance You Are Tired, that came out earlier this year onGrand Jury Music. If you haven’t already familiarized yourself with their indie rock that sways in a folksy direction, you should start with the video below. The track is a groovy, laid back tune that features meandering guitar riffs and the lush vocals of front ladyKristine Leschper. Take a listen and be sure to watch what appears to be a wisdom-teeth-high video below.

New to Me: The Crystal Furs

Leave a comment

crystalfursWhile all my Internet friends were raving about the amazing time they had at NYC Popfest (still jealous) they also tossed me a nod towards The Crystal Furs…a Ft. Worth based indiepop act. They’re fairly new to the scene, and seeing as our love of indiepop is always going strong, I’m really stoked to have another band to fawn over, let alone one from Texas. They recently tossed out an EP titled the Pentacon Sessions, recorded while the band was still working on their sound and name. I figured music world is slow today, so why not share it with you all today. Stream below, and look for more from The Crystal Furs.

There’s a New Cass McCombs Album Coming

Leave a comment

CassMcCombs_MangyLove_CoverArt-copyThere are a ton of acts that get loads of press, and I’m not always on board with the buzz (I know, I liked the first album better…blah blah blah). But, I’ve really enjoyed the work of Cass McCombs, so with the announcement of a new album, I’m actually really excited. I enjoy the way the track opens with McCombs calming croon coming in over the strings and ringing guitar chord that’s high in the mix. There’s even a little bit of a touch that seemingly makes it perfect pop for lounge acts…and I mean that in the best way possible. His new effort will be titled Mangy Love, coming out later via Anti Records.

Enjoy This Beauty From Swimming Tapes

Leave a comment

13237662_1095128163888521_9221963997744131932_nThis new song entitled “Set The Fire” by London based band Swimming Tapes premiered elsewhere yesterday and it’s too good for me not to share despite my tardiness. To begin with, this song is just so damn dreamy, it’s giving me all the warm feelings this morning. I’m not sure how I hadn’t heard of this band prior to yesterday, but with promising sounds like this, I’ll be paying closer attention from here on it. Stay tuned.

Rock Out with New Mumblr

Leave a comment

mumblr-4Mumblr have worked hard on their latest album to really pull away from the tried and true sound of emo-punk that’s helped them gain some popularity. Interestingly enough, I think this is the tightest the band has sounded, not to mention the most enthused they’ve sounded. This new single from The Never Ending Get Down does still look back nostalgically, but less into the poppier side of things and more into the area where Jawbreaker pulled up the pop stoplight. Chords ring, cymbals crash, and you’re hooked on everything that’s great…which is pretty much this whole tune. Look for their new album via Fleeting Youth Records on June 10th.

Mimes of Wine Release New Single

Leave a comment

mimesMimes of Wine has primarily been the work of Italian-born Laura Loriga, though the last few years she’s been steadied by a strong backing band, which definitely elevates the song on her newest work. The track starts off with little more than piano and Loriga, which we can assume is the demo process, but the procession continues, throwing in carefully accented strings. There’s some deep tones in the strings, which work great to provide a balance with Laura’s lofty vocals. Let’s hope they’re as strong on the entirety of their new album, La Maison Verte, as they are in this track; look for the LP on June 10th via Accidental Muzik.

Watch the New Omni Video

Leave a comment

Another week, another great song being released by Trouble in Mind Records, but this time the band is Omni. They’ve got a new album titled Deluxe coming out in July on the label, and I think it’s one one of those really special musical pieces…at least for those of that grew up listening to a lot of punk. It seems to take all the genres of punk, and the after-punk years (glam, no wave, post, proto) and combine them to create an amalgam of great sounds. Watch their video for the new track below, and be ready for the official release come July 8th.

New (Old) Music from Jons

Leave a comment

jonsThis is a great Monday track. You’re sitting there, looking back on the weekend, wondering how you got kicked into the working week so quickly, wishing for a bit of respite. So take on this Jons track, a sprawling bit of a ballad, coated in haunting vocal effects. But, my favorite reason for believing in the track comes right after the first 1.40 minute mark; up until then the track was mildly subdued, but just a slight pick up in spirit changes your outlook/emotions. You’ve got something to live for, something to long for…and the secret lives within this song. Solitaire Recordings will behelping the band out in the future, so keep your eyes peeled.

More From The Hazy Seas

Leave a comment

12795335_951492121602660_8656031474738553721_nI told you a couple of months ago you’d be hearing more from Michigan based band The Hazy Seas as I received more information right? Well today I have yet another promising new single here entitled “Kite Dodging”. I’m really loving the frantic pace to the song which adds a nice element to the already dreamy and catchy bit of pop sounds. To me, this band is doing something truly unique and creative. Pay attention.
