Bedroom Pop Vibes from Dances

Leave a comment

Two things about this video made it worth posting: great song and camaraderie. The song, I think speaks for itself, hanging out in the realms between bedroom pop and lo-fi sensibility; it just has a really good vibe to it. That vibe carries on in the video, which is really one of the reasons I keep coming back to it; it just looks like everyone in Dances just really loves one another, rally cares about being together…no star…just a band hanging together. Just a one off hit for now, but you’ll definitely enjoy these vibes.

Sweeping Pop from Montero

Leave a comment

Montero just dropped this gem of a tune, filled to the brim with musical touchstones. In his vocals, you can certainly hear the prog structures of yore swelling to the top, almost wizardly at times. But, one listen to the chorus and you’re going to be alright…those notes assure it. Musically, there’s some stomp, some squawk and synths painting the soundscape in a captivating wash of pop. A new album is said to be in the works for Chapter Music, dropping sometime in 2018.

Raucous New Single From Sauropod

Leave a comment

I love when you hit play on a song and it kicks off, without any hesitation, into a fit of rock n roll. That’s exactly what I have for you today in the form of this new track “Never on Time” via Oslo based Sauropod. Having recently signed to rising Scandinavian label Propeller Recordings, the band don’t mess about with their new single as the pace and ferocity of the guitars never seem to let up. And hey, we love rockin’ 3 pieces around these parts.

“Never on Time” can be purchased via your favorite streaming service today.

Slept On This Gingerlys Tune

Leave a comment

I know better than this, but all my friends were raving about the delicious new pop ditty from Gingerlys, so I finally got my ears to it. It’s got this shimmering bit of synth beneath the skin, peeled back with nods to distorted jangling…a gift that no one ever refused. Energetic and fun, but soaked in the dreamy nuance that made all my friends adore it. Look for the group to release their self-titled debut on Babe City Records on November 17th.

Give Calgrove A Listen

Leave a comment

It’s Friday, so you’ve got to look for some impressive tunes to get you into the weekend, and I think this Calgrove tune might just do the trick. It’s a casual bit of modern Americana, with little hints of twang in the vocals and slide guitar working in the far distance to take you across the vast expanse of the USA. Dig the ways there are these little turns, with vocals almost recorded on top of one another. This track will appear on the band’s Wind Vane EP, just released by Gentle Reminder and Forged Artifacts.

Great New Tune from The Golden Boys

Leave a comment

If you’re looking to find the quintessential Austin song, then perhaps you needn’t look beyond this great new jam from The Golden Boys. “I’m on drugs…” opens up the track, but the song isn’t about taking drugs, rather it seems to be holding on to the world, hoping for better things. Then you can move beyond the lyrics to the natural stomp of the tune, bounding through with smashing drum hits and an organ grinding in the background. It’s a gem of pure rock n’ roll fervor, infectious and hard-hitting at once. Look for Better Than Good Times to drop on November 17th via 12XU.

Stream Infinity Rock N Roll from Jack Lee

Leave a comment

Jack Lee might be better known in the US as the frontman for Beef Jerk, who released the excellent (and slightly overlooked) Tragic on Trouble in Mind Records. But, he’s got several solo efforts under his belt, with the latest being released today via Beko Disques. Right now, I’m really enjoying the diversity of the listen, taking on several styles, kicking out varying moods. Personally, I’ve gravitated towards “What You Don’t Do” as my favorite, like a weird world where Dan Treacy tries to take on modern casual pop. Oh, and I’d kick myself if I didn’t throw out the name Stephanie Ohlback; she’s serves as the vocal foil to Lee on almost every song, but perfectly shines on her own on “Taps Aff” and “Pieces.” And there I go, changing my mind on what my favorite hit from this LP is. You should just stream Infinity Rock N’ Roll and figure it out for yourself!

Quiet Beauty From The Saxophones

Leave a comment

Oakland based The Saxophones have received their fair share of coverage on our site over the years. All ATH staff members have been continually mesmerized by the quiet, yet still powerful feeling to all of their songs. I’m yet again pleased to share another hit from the band entitled “Aloha”. I suggest giving it multiple spins as each and every listen unfolds something beautiful to really enjoy.

Twain Was Made for You

Leave a comment

Twain has already garnered huge interest on the Interwebs due to their biggest fan, indie darlings Big Thief. It’s high time you get acquainted, as you’re likely hear a whole lot more. Looped drums work beneath twinkling guitar notes, but the dynamism in the vocals, will win your heart. Be it cowboy croon, folk yelp or earnest delivery, every vocal note turned captivates the listener. This is what music was meant to sound like; it’s emotionally sweeping, yet sincere and personal. Congrats to our friends at Keeled Scales who will be releasing Rare Feeling on October 20th!
