Cloudberry Preps Release from Okama Flannel Boy

Leave a comment

I promise you that when you listen to the new single from Okama Flannel Boy, you’ll likely place the music somewhere over in the UK, perhaps even Scotland where the shuffling jangle of guitars grew in popularity. But alas, OFB is actually from Mexico City, which makes the fact that Fernando Torres is crafting such joyous indiepop all the more enticing. We owe that discovery purely to Roque, who might be one of the last gatekeepers of great indiepop out there; he’ll be releasing the new four song 7″ from OFB on his Cloudberry Records label, coming some time this summer!

Charming New Sleep Good Album

Leave a comment

One of the great things I love about Sleep Good is that they pop up out of nowhere, just when things seem to have gotten stale. This last week, Will Patterson’s project dropped Bohemian Grove, the latest full length; it might also be the best work he’s crafted to date. I like the fact that it’s all styled similarly, though each track takes on its own role in the record. For instance, “Bombay” opens up the record with this relaxed, almost beach-laden, vibe; it has this light vocal that floats throughout. Then, “Ridin High” takes on this crooner charm, though the backing vocals hold a similar lineage to the opener. Take the journey through Bohemian Grove below; grab the LP version from YK Records.

Michael Beach Visits America Tonight at Beerland

Leave a comment

Michael Beach came to our attention a few years ago, as a friend of a friend from Australia connected us…as he’s currently living in Melbourne. He’s got a handful of releases under his belt, but he ventures across the pond for his US tour on the back of a fresh 7″, which features the below single for “Sessin,” recently released by Poison City Records. Tonight he ventures out into the Austin nightlife over at Beerland, joined by the likes of Minimal Animal, Chronophage and Endless Sewer. Check out this great new jam below, and come out to Beerland tonight; the doors are at 8 PM! You can find the rest of Michael’s US tour dates HERE.

Another Track from School Damage

Leave a comment

School Damage are in the release cycle, and this is the second track we’ve heard from their forthcoming EP. Apparently, this whole EP is dedicated to a cat, thus the title Four Songs About One Cat. However, when it comes to the musical element, you might be slightly surprised at this new single, unless you spent enough time with their self-titled LP (like the track “Online Shopping”). Their songs typically have this frantic art punk styling, but here, there’s almost a dreamy 60s Velvets vibe, or perhaps some intoxicating track from a Wes Anderson movie. If you’re into it, then go grab the new EP form Upset the Rhythm.

New Bodega Jam For Your Ears

Leave a comment

Up until now, the singles we’ve gotten from the forthcoming Bodega LP have largely been presented with a male voice. But, this round, Nikki Belfiglio gets to take the reins. It’s fitting, as this song is a tune of celebrating self-gratification from the female perspective…an idea that’s an homage to an early life experience of Nikki’s. Musically, those angular chords and throbbing bass are ever-present, and Belfligilio channels her inner Kate Pierson. Endless Scroll will drop on July 6th via What’s Your Rupture.

Get To Rockin’ With Crimen

One comment

Nathan and I are ready to kick off our summer time fun in the next day or so and we need some solid rock jams to power us through the season. Thankfully I’ve just been sent this solid new rocker called “Six Weeks” from Rome based band Crimen. It certainly has a psych rock vibe to it with powerful drums, fuzzy as hell guitars, and a superbly distorted bass riff. Give me more of this please.

Crimen will release Silent Animals on June 29th via Fuzz Club.

New Jam from Crepes

Leave a comment

Crepes have been on my radar for sometime, and somehow I missed that they dropped a new track out into the world a few weeks back. It’s a pretty interesting song, with the focus predominantly revolving around the openness of the tune; it’s sort of spaced out psychedelia, though spun with a little bit more focus on the pop spectrum. The lyrical content is fairly minimal, with the resounding line of “bicycle man” being the most prevalent piece; it’s interesting how a band can capture your attention for sustained periods by simply manipulating pitch and inflection of two words. This new single is out in the world now!
