The Catenary Wires Release Face on the Rail Line Video

The forthcoming LP from The Catenary Wires is high upon our list of anticipated releases this year, and now we’ve got another single to give us a little peek at what’s inside. As soon as the video plays, I honestly felt like I was at home in the 80s listening to my dad’s record collection; the core vocals of Amelia and Rob over that light strum just held this nostalgic breath in my lungs for an instant. But, as the song progresses, there are some little details like the slight buzz around the 1:07 mark (and again later) that kind of ties the band to their modern peers. In a weird way, it feels like your favorite indiepop stars spent the weekend holed up with J Spaceman, and I mean that in the most positive light possible. The little turn at 2:13 doesn’t do anything to hurt either, sweeping emotion through your bedroom speakers. Look for their new LP Birling Gap on June 18th via Skep Wax/Shelflife.

SB Olson Shares No More Trouble

As of late, my tastes have been bouncing all over the place, and that’s kind of where this SB Olson tune hit me. It’s got this little underhanded blues boogie to it; it’s that sort of crunchy barroom scoot that all my red dirt friends were super into during our college years. Plus, with Olson’s heavily warm vocals, you kind of get that sort of classic Americana feel, like one would get when listening to an M. Ward album. The North Dakota songwriter just seems to be writing hit after hit at the moment, so if you’re so inclined, you might want to stop in and give his catalog a little look-see. This tune comes from his latest, Sweet Creatures.

Delivery Announce Yes We Do EP

Another day, another tune from Melbourne I can get behind; this time we’ve got a fresh new hit from Melbourne’s Delivery. The core of the song swirls around this tight proto-punk guitar line, coiled darkly in the mix so that the vocals achieve this sort of cavernous indifference that fuses the stark nature of the tune with elements of super cool. At times, you can hear little surfy guitar licks come into play, mostly between verses, illustrating what the band have in store for you down the line. Their Yes We Do EP will drop on June 25th courtesy of Spoilsport Records.

Nightwatchers Deliver New Single

A couple of years ago I came across the French punk band Nightwatchers and immediately submerged myself in their music. Their killer debut LP from 2019, La paix ou le sable, is still in heavy rotation on the turntable at home. Well the gents are coming back this year and kicking things off with this raucous new single called “1905 & The Muslim Exception”. It brings that some sort of raw, explosive energy we heard from the debut and builds on the sound with a more mature and slick approach to songwriting and production. If you don’t know about the band, you need to get informed.

Nightwatchers will release this single as part of a new album entitled Common Crusades due out this fall on Lovely Records.

Last Week in Music, Today; the Bops from May 24-28

We’ve got lives over here, so we’re not likely to ever get a cool playlist up on a Friday, and due to Memorial Day, sometimes we don’t get it up on a Monday. But, in case, like our friend Marc from the Midgetmen, you don’t have time to read things or listen to people’s thoughts, we made you a playlist. You don’t even have to really click on the site, you can just open the Spotify player and enjoy your jams. So, if you were wondering what hits we thought were worth your time last week, well my friends, here they are!
