Sassyhiya Share Kristen Stewart Single

Leave a comment

Even though we’re drawing near the end of the Summer, or maybe that’s wishful thinking, we’ve still got room for this Summer Jam from Sassyhiya. Seriously, if the infectious delivery and stuttering dance from the percussion aren’t enough to get you grooving, then maybe you’ll have to turn to the chorus. They open the tune up there, offering a nice melodic glide with some classic cymbal work filling in the background space. Personally, the employment of multiple layers of vocals throughout the tune is a nice little 1-2 punch for me, laying me out on the floor so I can play the track on repeat. This song will appear on a limited 7″ via Skep Wax, and we can only hope there’s more exciting pop of this sort coming our way.

Casual Technicians Announce Deeply Unworthy

Leave a comment

If you’re coming to our site, you generally jam a certain style of music, and with that, we want to make sure you’ve got Casual Technicians on your radar. They only released their debut LP a few months ago, and they’re already pushing forward with a fresh batch of tunes for us. When diving into this sea, you’ll be greeted by a nice little bob atop the waters, offering up a nice vibe, though nothing strikingly new. But, at the 25 second mark there’s a plot twist, offering up a different vocal that seems more earnest, and slightly Aussie influenced. They switch it up back and forth, always employing a snapping beat that kicks your feet up, and still pandering to those of us who think of Flying Nun as the Holy Grail. Deeply Unworthy is out November 1st via Repeating Cloud.

Sumos Share Hunting Tracks

Leave a comment

After teasing us all week with hints of new music, Sumos did drop their darling new ditty, doing what they do best by executing perfect pop tunes. Everything functions on the steady strum and beat, almost operating as the musical metronome for your toes to keep the beat. And, once you’ve matched your internal rhythm, you can rest while the vocals offer up one of the brightest pop performances you’re going to get into today. When you hear the utterance of “one of these days,” you’ll hear the soaring of angels, rising to the highest stretched note, albeit with a charming sharpness that perfects the tune. Can’t wait to hear a new record from this lot.

Blood Share Holy Family Single

Leave a comment

When press first came out concerning the new Blood album, it promised to have Tim O’Brien really stretching himself, vocally. There was a little bit on the earlier singles, but “Holy Family” has this dark majesty that fulfills all the promise of Tim exploring his voice. At the beginning, it’s quite fragile, almost beautifully pained, tip-toeing around a light strum and bending nuanced notes. Pronounced percussion comes to rescue, punching through the mix momentarily, but it only seems to make O’Brien withdraw further, hiding behind the textured density the group have built up here. Of all the power the the band possess, they seem to kind of control that chaos, making magic in the process. Loving You Backwards is out next Friday via Ramp Local.

Three Quarter Skies Share Leave a Light On

Leave a comment

Simon Scott’s name is going to carry a lot of weight into his Three Quarter Skies project, and rightfully so, as the drummer for Slowdive is building something that certainly feels adjacent to his other work. This song feels like a light rainstorm rolling in off the ocean, as you can see/hear the clouds from miles away, but when they arrive via the vocals, they’re lighter, merely rinsing you with emotion rather than pummeling you with thunderous rain drops. It’s the sort of storm where you just sit in it, grateful to be alive as your body is washed by this musical piece, all the textures of the world circling about. Fade In will be released on September 6th via Sonic Cathedral.

Feeling Figures Drop Doors Wide Open

Leave a comment

After last year’s Migration Magic, you can say that expectations are extremely high over at the ATH offices for this forthcoming LP from Feeling Figures. This new single definitely ramps up the energy, delivering an exciting bit of ramshackle pop, packed with as much as one band can cram into 1:43. Kay’s vocals just rip through the song, working with a bit of sharp playfulness, which delivers a bounce that snaps in step with joyous rhythmic push. Then as the song feels settled they cut right through with this little soloing guitar wiggle that just crushes your soul and makes you sink right into the glory of this pop number. Everything Around You is out on September 27th via K Records/Perennial Death.

Hallo Return with Worth It All

Leave a comment

Starting off our morning slowly today, crawling out of bed to find this delightful new track from Austin’s Hallo. The group are finishing up the final touches on their debut album, and deliver this powerhouse of a tune, drawn to the fire of Tiana Stuart’s powerful voice. Those vocals operate between a Texas twang and a more angelic push, while the band behind her forcefully punches down; I love the burning guitar distortion that fills the chorus moments. It sets up for a great breakdown in the track’s latter half, dropping hints at the fiery indie rock they’ll bring to the table when they wrap up that debut!

Icarus Phoenix Shares Doctor Doctor

Leave a comment

With the new album from Icarus Phoenix on the horizon, Drew Danburry and company have offered up one last peek beneath the covers of what’s in store. What you’ll notice on this single, as with those that came before, is that this go round, there’s a bit more focus on the melody and the voice, taking the outsider folk stylings of the project’s early work and making it more accessible. Everything on this track feels light, and that gentle approach create this sentiment that you and the song are one, drawing you into the narrative Danburry has crafted. I Should Have Known the Things You Never Said is out on August 15th.

Geneva Jacuzzi Drops Scene Ballerina Video

Leave a comment

Dropping into my afternoon, and dropping into some pure nostalgia as we bump this new track from Geneva Jacuzzi. The lyrical content is all about that one person who always steps up to steal the spotlight, take the attention…and probably ruin someone’s night. But, musically, its pure glitzy pop, straight out of the Madonna playbook. The beat matches up with the punctuated vocal delivery of the verse, then the tonal vocal change certainly feels like it channels the old-school approach. There’s even some spoken word layering beneath, which definitely feels Madge-esque. A fun tune as you dance about and get ready to grab a copy of Triple Fire, out August 23rd via Dais Records.

Eazyhead Share Narcissist Single

Leave a comment

Manila band Eazyhead have already graced our Internet pages, and their latest single continues to seem them spiraling down the the stairwell of hedonistic psychedelia. Thumping grooves build the foundation at the start, with guitar lines bending and shaking, scraping the edges of your speakers as they crawl through to open up into the jangling swirl of thundering psychedelia. You get to dive into the cloud-filled room with the band, scorching guitar riffs echoing about the walls while they allow for the vocals to crawl across the floor of the tune. Their new album Personal Echo Chamber has the makings of a true psychedelic experience, so look for its release via Dedstrange on August 23rd.
