Daily Worker Shares Look to the Light Video, Releases Melancholia EP

Leave a comment

Earlier this year, former Cotton Mather guitarist Harold Whit Williams brought us Autofiction under his Daily Worker moniker, but not one to rest on his laurels, he’s already had a few EPs drop, including the release of Melancholia today. With said release, Harold sent us over a video for stunner “Look to the Light,” a track that plays with hints of Americana and jangling guitar notes. It’s one of those songs that tugs at the moment, begging us to try and find glimmers of positivity in the world around us. The video accompaniment moves back and forth between nostalgic footage and black/white video of Harold and his guitar. You should take a moment today to spend time with Melancholia; you can stream it all HERE.

Vintage Crop Announce New 7″

Leave a comment

Felt a little power-poppy this morning, so felt like I should turn into something a little sharper, a little more brooding, such as this fresh track from Melbourne’s Vintage Crop. The guitars on this song really get you wound up; they curl around your ears, snaking inside in this sort of off-kilter chug, thrusting you right into the pounding stomp of the drum. Jack’s vocals come across in this similar throttle, almost hitting you as each syllable tries to step in line with the rhythm. You get a hint of respite in the track’s middle, with some punctuating synth stabs hitting from behind the mix, all of it leading to the resolution. The video was directed by Oscar O’shea, who aimed to present three parallel versions of Jack, coinciding with the feelings of change in the lyrical content. This new 7″ is available on September 8th via Upset the Rhythm and Anti Fade.

Colored Lights Share Warm Jets

If you’re going to release one last single before your album drops, my advice is that you make it a banger, just like Colored Lights. While the song’s not an out and out rocker, there’s something in the production of the guitars here that drives the track; it feels like its got natural momentum that can’t be slowed; you can’t stop it. That said, the band manages to also craft a slight pop contrast, when the track switches to the makeshift chorus, letting Frode’s melodic vocals crest in the song’s middle. The band release their self-titled LP on Bobo Integral on September 22nd.

The Planes Share Feels Like Years

Leave a comment

Brooklyn band the Planes are here to liven up your Friday morning; they want to be sure you indulge in their crisp brand of power pop. Their latest single opens up simply, working light vocals and a gentle guitar jangle. Quickly, drums drop in, though the song doesn’t stray too far from the sweetness that’s roaming around with the melodic hooks. You’ll get some swirling guitars in the distance, but the core of the song punches hard if the volume’s turned up just right. If you’re digging their work, you’ll find this track on Dark Matter Recycling Co, out September 15th via Totally Real/Safe Suburban Home.
