Show Preview: Mild High Club @ Mohawk (Tonight!)

Leave a comment

mhcThere aren’t too many choices for checking out shows after a long weekend, so tonight do yourself a favor and head out to Mohawk for Mild High Club. The eclectic band recently released Skiptracing, which we ran a review of last week, HERE. They specialize in modern psychedelic vibes, pushing the envelope a bit more than most of their peers. And, by attending, you get to catch your dose of great local acts as well, with Tamarron and Rotten Mangos taking the stage as openers. It’s a highly anticipated show, but tickets will still be available at the door. Start this short week off right folks!

Muuy Biien es Muy Bueno

Leave a comment

autumntoneThis past year at the annual Athens showcase during SXSW I finally caught Muuy Biien live, and boy did they ever deliver; they were one of my highlights of the entire festival. That being said, they return with a slightly different sound for their upcoming LP, Age of Uncertainty. Their spastic attitude has been traded for something calmer, though a wee bit more experimental in regards to their sound. It gives the band a steadier sound that I’m still attracted to, though I hope it doesn’t affect their live set as they settle into this new groove. Look out for the new record on October 28th via Autumn Tone Records.

ATX Spotlight: Tele Novella Release Heavy Balloon Video

Leave a comment

In what has been a banner year for Austin music (despite the scene dying) on the nation-wide scene, it looks like Tele Novella will continue that trend with their forthcoming House of Souls. While we’ve all loved their newest tune, we’re now getting treated to a spectacular new video for the song itself. It’s quirky, just as one would expect, and every time I hear this song, I just marvel at the gifts of Natalie in the track. Enjoy the song one more time, only now with more visual stimulation! Album hits via Yellow Year on September 23rd.

Bloodhounds On My Trail Offer New Tune

Leave a comment

bloodhoundsPlease don’t think that the only thing going on in Melbourne is guitar pop, and if you disagree, then just listen to the newest Bloodhounds On My Trail tune. It’s a sweeping piece of darkened rock n’ roll, balancing crisp guitar tones with the shimmery sort that collide in a wall of atmospherics. Bass grooves are heavy, almost thundering…all contrasted by a semi-croon, softening the song’s stance. It’s a promising number that will actually be handled by Texas based Moon Sounds Records for distribution on September 16th.

Hazy Pop From Heavy Heart

Leave a comment

13680794_1062590187111474_356682200736920488_nI’d like to take a brief second of your time and introduce you to this up and coming band from London called Heavy Heart. The group has been releasing a song every month this year and they just sent over their August song entitled “Fever Dream”. I’d liken the band to haze pop greats POBPAH but also with a little bit more bite with that heavy break down about 2 minutes in. This guy can’t wait to hear what they put out next month.

Americana Tinged Rock From Oldermost

Leave a comment

oldermostOldermost are a group out of Philadelphia, PA, that ride on the waves of rock and roll, but their tunes fall along the softer side of that rock spectrum. They’ve got new track to share with you called “Finally Unsure,” and you’ll hear what I mean when you start to listen. The guitars are immediately there, along with the undercurrent of throbbing bass, but they’re second to those whispery vocals. But just you hold on, the track isn’t all quiet americana, no, stay with it till the end and you’ll be delighted to hear the way in which the song builds to its close. From such humble beginnings comes a huge, swelling sound.

Kicking New Tune from NOTS

Leave a comment

notsJust a few more weeks until the new NOTS record officially comes out, so seems only right the band would kick out another blasting bit of rock n’ roll. The ferocious feeling of the vocal delivery definitely brings in the punk attitude, with the rest of the band pushing things quickly through the speakers. In my listens through Cosmetic, it’s clear that this isn’t a record where you’ll hear the band fucking around; they take aim at rock n’ roll and blast on through. Look for the release on September 9th via Goner Records.

Digging This Electro-Pop From Psychic Twin

Leave a comment

13886476_1323599920984300_3301453171240305551_nFor something electronic to catch my ears, it has to be pretty special; now, I’m not saying that I don’t appreciate a good electro-pop track now and then, but sometimes it’s easy to lump those tracks together. This is not the case with “Stop in Time,” the latest single from Brooklyn’s Psychic Twin. When the track starts, you know you’re in for a treat– the electronic elements are layered and textured in such a way that you hear one sleek package of sound that grows into a danceable mix. Take a listen, and then be ready for the release of the latest from Psychic Twin, Strange Diary, which will be out September 9th on Polyvinyl Records.

over-sands-press-photo-2As if you weren’t hearing enough about London based Over Sands from us, the boys have let us offer up a premiere of their new EP in full. You should definitely bethinking we are really into this band based on the amount of posts they’ve received over the last couple of months. If you have yet to check them out, now is the time. They seem to effortlessly mix catchy beats like a Yeasayer type band and blend them with all the best things about dream pop.
