Blue Cove Share Here You Come Single

Leave a comment

Chicago’s music scene has definitely been a hot place to find some great tunes the last few months, and here we are with this new track from Blue Cove. The band currently operate in the dream pop realm, toying with the more boisterous brand once the song hits the 2 minute mark; it explodes, almost seeming to raise the volume as the jangling guitar lines burst through your speakers. They never seem to lose sight of the hook, which inevitably seems to revolve around Steph Nikolas’ vocals. They’ve had a bunch of tunes float out, so keep your eyes peeled for news on an official release any day.

Austin’s Marry Cherry Share New Video

Leave a comment

Austin’s got a history of some read psychedelic sounds, from the 13th Floor Elevators to the Black Angels, and it looks like Marry Cherry are aiming to take back into the darkness from whence it came. Their latest single is this heavy video of live footage, edited by Andy Ray Lemon with some crazy visuals to melt your brain. Their sound is definitely on the heavier side of the genre, playing more with these horror riffs that tower over you as the vocals take on that cavernous howl from beneath the foggy mixture. This is the band’s debut single, so be on the lookout as their sure to be making waves with this brand of noisy psych.

Luke Lover Readies New LP

Leave a comment

Lukas Stadler has been writing and recording songs over the past few years in preparation for the release of his new Luke Lover LP. The project is a mixture between home recordings and work in his band’s practice space, so you’re getting this hyper-intimate songwriting process. But, the song’s resonate beyond the confines of a tape machine or a bedroom, layering moment after moment; you can feel this new single building towards a climactic release, which does indeed come in the song’s last quarter, almost playing upon modern post-punk trends in the vocal delivery. This track’s on the Luke Lover LP, which comes out via Hidden Bay/We Don’t Make It on May 6th.

Maria Chiara Argiro Releases Greenarp Single

Leave a comment

Some music you meet becomes immediately enchanting, something that seems rooted in the fantastical, like Maria Chiara Argiro’s latest single. When this new video begins, the song’s dwelling in the ethereal realm, which in its own right is striking. Slowly, the song begins to emerge with a little more pulse, as Argiro build’s little flourishing beats beneath the textured mix of her craft. In doing so, the dream realm is maintained, but there’s a little more lifeblood to it all, which comes in handy in convincing old curmudgeons like myself to spend a good amount of time. Still, I’ll happily play in the world Maria’s creating; I’m looking forward to the release of Forest City next week on Innovative Leisure.

Ben Woods Shares Hovering at Home Video

Leave a comment

Strangely, as the summer comes, which is usually my heavy jam season, I’ve been mellowing, looking for more moving pieces, like this Ben Woods track. Ben just announced a new LP titled Dispeller, and I’m totally awe-struck by this lead single. It’s a combination of bedroom strumming and sampled noise used to structurally build the sound. There’s this slight tonal shift that gets me every time he drops it in; he’ll deliver two lines, then twist the tone into this slightly more melodic charm. Plus, every time the song builds into cacophony, it all seems to make perfect sense, only raising the bar on the modern trends of songwriting. Dispeller is out in July via Shrimper/Melted Ice Cream/Meritorio.

More Music from Guy Capecelatro III

Leave a comment

Still going to quietly scream at the heavens until you all pay attention to Guy Capecelatro III; I’m here to share yet another single from the forthcoming Heading North Again. Something in his songwriting style here definitely feels nostalgic, lost somewhere between late 90s college rock and early stages of emo (in a good way!!). His voice feels pained at times, but so intimate, that its like he’s sitting next to you pouring out his heart throughout this single. Guy’s music just feels suited for those personal moments by yourself, solace for those in need. Heading North Again is out this Friday via Dromedary Records.

The S-ft F-cus Release Lousy w’ Love

Leave a comment

I’m a bit behind on getting to this S-ft F-cus EP, Lousy w’ Love, but felt like it was the perfect way to get us all into tuneage on this Monday. The Miami based project, helmed by Aussie Danny Lee Allen certainly has a penchant for crafting lo-fidelity guitar pop gems, as you can see by the track hanging out below. At times, you’re like, yeah, sure, Bob Pollard influences. But, then there are these more intricate little melodic guitar moments lurking in and out of the tune, bending strings around harmonic notes that build into this dreamy soundscape buried in the wash of noise. Feel like you need something refreshingly different? Try this one on for size.

Last Week’s Jams, Today (4.18 – 4.22)

Leave a comment

Lot’s of really great stuff last week, so we’re here, as we always are, revisiting our coverage from last week, that way you can catch up…or at least have a sweet playlist to enjoy. Some cool new stuff last week from perennial favorites like Flasher and Say Sue Me, plus excellent news that there’s a new CLAMM record on the way. Plus, I hadn’t been to a traveling show, aside from SXSW, so I was stoked to get out of the house and catch Dummy absolutely rip over at Hotel Vegas, so I threw in a nice little jam from the band’s Mandatory Enjoyment. It’s Monday; here’s tunes you might have missed.

Tony Jay Shares Another Single from Hey There Flower

Leave a comment

Recently we talked about how Tony Jay would be re-releasing Hey There Flower (originally on a small tape run via Paisley Shirt), and since a lot of folks haven’t heard the album, we’re here with another track that might turn you onto Mike Ramos’ songwriting. This particular track is a slow-burn, with the notes sort of hanging in the air like a bubble on the wind, floating endlessly into they disappear beyond you. Mike’s voice hangs deep inside the mix, like he’s singing to us from some dampened cavern, stirring your emotions as his voice drifts in and out of your consciousness. This track appears on the LP, which is out on vinyl on May 6th courtesy of Mt. St. Mtn; look for the band to hit the road with some dates this summer, including a run in July with our friend RE Seraphin.
