Wurld Series Share Distant Business

Leave a comment

New Zealand outfit Wurld Series continue to mix up their sound, blending elements of fuzzy indie rock, accessible pop and a penchant for racket. This one feels like a bit more of the latter, though there’s still a core melodic bit in the vocals to serve as the gravitational glue holding the song all together. At times, it sounds like the bastard sons of Pavement, unabashedly banging out their frivolous guitar licks without a care as to how they come across to the listener. You’ve got a love a bit of that devil-may-care attitude, and with the continuous push to mix up their sound, What’s Growing is shaping up to be a mighty nice collection of tunes; it drops on March 19 via Meritorio/Osborne Again/Melted Ice Cream.

 

Levi Douthit Announces Lucky Pennies

Leave a comment

You can always rely upon Citrus City to bring the best tunes out of Richmond, much as he’s doing here with Levi Douthit‘s new album, Lucky Pennies. Today, we get to share the lead single with you, and it’s all sorts of special, for those looking for that solitary bedroom listen. To begin, I actually love the way he delays his vocal intro, just 20 seconds; it creates this tiny wrinkle in the formula which allows you to kind of hear Levi outside of the expectations of typical bedroom pop. As the song leads forward, the strum feels deep, offering this heavy-weighted feel that gets the perfect juxtaposition to the gentleness of Douthit’s vocals. The full record will drop on March 26th!

Stream Nul Telexes Debut LP

Leave a comment

If you’re not into cold, cavernous synth pop, please, just skip to the next song you find fascinating, as Nul Telexes debut LP is not for the faint of heart. From the instant it comes on, you’re immersed in these heavy vocal tones washed in this sterile synth mixture; you’ll likely hear a bit of an Ian Curtis nod too. While some of the tunes on Menhir are contemplative in nature, there’s often a driving force pushing the song forward, occasionally creating just a slight dance-ability, like in “A Play.” If any record feels like its been made of the emotions of the last year, then surely this LP is the one; it’s available now from Swiss Dark Nights.

Abram Shook Shares Sugar For Your Headphones

Leave a comment

Our good friend Abram Shook reached out recently to hip us to some new work he’s got coming down the pipes; he has a new Satin Thief EP coming down the pipeline some time this month. He says the tunes on this EP are a nice little “gap between the more electro-funk of my last album, and the hazy, laid-back 70’s vibe of my next full-length.” So, while you’re waiting for another Abram release, settle into the undeniable hooks on display here. Part funk grooves, part space R&B, but the little vocal stutter of the chorus definitely has a way of sinking its way deep inside your brain. The Satin Thief EP drops March 12th, and keep an eye out as Abram promises lots more coming down the pipeline!

Coffee Time Share For Seasons

Leave a comment

It’s March and its Spring! So, let’s get ourselves a little ditty from the brothers, Coffee Time. The duo have this spirited pop number, though I’ll admit, it often feels like its about to slip into some sort of drug-addled slow jam. But, just as that vibe creeps in, those guitar chords jangle, and it turns the track into something a bit more on the surfy pop side of the world. What can I say, I’m a sucker for just that little breezy riff hanging out on the line, and I have a feeling you’re going to be bobbing too! Look for the band to release a new EP at the end of the month.
