Post-Punker From Heir Traffic

Leave a comment

Heir Traffic is a post-punk inspired band out of Melbourne with five lads who’ve been creating tunes and quietly releasing them over the last few years without a whole lot of press. As fans of their music, and also someone who wants to help young artists succeed, consider this a full endorsement of the band’s music. You’ll find several tracks on the band’s bandcamp page, but this new one, “Bogged,” is their latest in promotion of an upcoming album entitled NO HEARTH. It’s a noisy, energy filled affair with expert musicianship and loads to divulge and come back to. Love this stuff.

Heir Traffic will release NO HEARTH on August 26th. A limited vinyl run of the release is up for pre-order now.

Pet Owner Shares Hi-Res Single

Leave a comment

Lea Mathis’ Pet Owner project has been on our radar for months now, with an expected album out somewhere at the end of this year, or early next year. Today, I’m really happy to share with you the next single installment, which puts Mathis craft in a world not too far off from the likes of Beach House or Aldous Harding. Interesting, the vocal work on this tune, while special, almost feels like its crafted to build in another texture to the tracks groovy rhythm. I can also hear where Broadcast or Stereolab fanatics might find enjoyment here, particularly in the way the song almost seems like an electronic mediation. More great stuff from the Swiss artist.

Eerie Wanda Share Long Time Video

Leave a comment

We’re just about a month away from the release of a new LP from Dutch outfit Eerie Wanda, and this new single is the sort of cathartic slow dance you need on a Monday morning. Listening through this tune, my brain feels like this is the internal soundtrack to Sandra Bullock’s brain during Gravity…it’s just this beautiful drifting piece, and while it may be frightening and painted darkly, there’s this stunning elegance that sweeps you up in its passing. If you’re looking for escapism, then Marina Tadic beckons; Eerie Wanda will release Internal Radio on September 23rd via Joyful Noise.

Last Week’s Jams, Today (8.15 – 8.19)

Leave a comment

Is it just me, or does it seem like there’s an overabundance of great music coming out as of late? I mean, I fell in love with at least a half dozen new tracks last week, and that’s just the one’s I was able to get up on the site. At the end of the day, I’m still blown away by that Mo Troper tune; I was a fan before but these last two tracks are out of this world good. Ribbon Stage dropped another hit we couldn’t escape running, plus there’s some old ATH standbys like Michael Beach, the Beths and Free Time (all Oceanic acts no less!). Press play, and sink into that Monday vibe.

Gordi Release Burn All The Time Machines Video

Leave a comment

Our resident Australian Sophie Payten, under her recording name Gordi, has been consistently pumping out new music over the last year or so and seemingly working harder than most anyone else I know. I absolutely loved her album Our Two Skins from two summers ago, and I am already diving deep into her new Inhuman EP out today. In celebration of the new EP release, Payten has also shared a new lyric video for the track “Burn All the Time Machines”. If you aren’t just absolutely entranced and captivated by Payten’s vocals and atmospheric depth, well I’m not sure you are a living and breathing human. Happy Friday!

The new Inhuman EP from Gordi is streaming now on all platforms.

Mo Troper Shares The Only Living Goy in New York

Leave a comment

Maybe its entirely a stretch, but I feel like Mo Troper‘s latest album is likely going to put him in a sort of Daniel Johnston territory all by himself. On the first single from MTV, you got a little bit of that sort of link between his early work and where it seems like he’s heading on this collection. It’s not even the faint warble and distinctive delivery, but just the finer, whimsical details like the harmonica and faint percussion that really makes me feel like he’s crafting some of the more magical music to come out right now. I sincerely hope you’ll give it a listen, then be sure to pick up MTV on September 2nd via Lame-O.

Fatal Jamz Share Eternity

Leave a comment

I’m pretty much a sucker for any brand of synthetic pop, particularly if it’s got a shade of darkness…which this Fatal Jamz tune has, both in the song’s origin and the overall vibe here. The track arose in the months following the passing of a dear friend of singer Marion. I think you can hear some of the open wounds still being processed in the presentation, with this almost nakedness hanging out there a bit for the listener. Most of that revolves around the fragility of the vocals, but I think the cavernous feel illustrates Marion’s push to climb from the darkness of those times and bring a bit more light into the world. Loving this jam for sure.

Tin-ear Prep Cadastral Maps

Leave a comment

At the moment, I can’t stop playing this new jam from Tin-ear. Out of nowhere, the band rush into the fray, elbowing their way with these vibrant vocal hooks that sink into your skin immediately. Suddenly, the band break it down, almost cutting the breakneck pace in half; it’s like they’ve expended so much energy in the song’s opening half, they just couldn’t keep it up, but in seeing the song’s finish line, the punch it up one last time, letting out one last emphatic breath before the song closes. If you’re digging, the band will be releasing their mini-LP, Cadastral Maps, on September 9th via Gentle Reminder Records.

Blondshell Shares Sepsis

Leave a comment

Blondshell is the Los Angeles based project of Sabrina Teitelbaum who has been picking up loads of praise from most of the major music sites over the last year. Though we aren’t always the types to post on big, buzz worthy bands, this new single called “Sepsis” is just a straight up Fing gem. It starts somewhat slow, almost in a singer/songwriter fashion, but quickly builds and expands into this raw, energy filled, almost Hole inspired banger of a track. You’ll find tons of emotion and passion packed into the 3.5 minute song.

In other news, Blondshell was just added to our very own ACL Festival in October. I heard one day tickets are still available.

Nova Blast Prep Debut LP

Leave a comment

The opening moments of this new Nova Blast track feel like my head right now, ready to explode. Somehow, the song feels cathartic, like the noise can surround and comfort rather than build on anxieties. Interestingly, the Swedish band seem to balance their noisy brand of rock n’ roll with a bit of an allegiance to grunge vibes, as you can certainly hear this song fitting nicely into the 90s vibe. And, just as you feel your ears can take no more, the noise subsides, and the song comes to a rest, waiting to go again. The band release Eccolalia on September 16th via Rama Lama Records.
