Solbore Shares New Track ft. Devin Yu

Clearly I’m in the mood for drifting pop music, like this track from Solbore. He’s crafted this really intimate moment that just allows the song to exist, sort of hanging in its own permanence. But, the track steps up a level when Devin Yu of Delta Sleep enters the pictures, calmly and coolly letting his voice fit in between the lines; those vocals have this sort of relaxed resonance that furthers the vibe, deepening the tune’s title, “Possibility Of.” Where can the song go? Where can it take you? Where can we go? If you want the answer, then stream below! It appears on the album, Never Alone, Often Lonely, out next year.

Atlantic Canyons Share Laminar Flow

Atlantic Canyons is a fairly new project, having only been around for a few years now, and this new track felt like the perfect feel for a Friday morning. It sort of sneaks up on you, tinkering with silence and ambient moments for 20 seconds or so before erupting into this huge wash of dense electronic pop. I loved the way the synthetic notes created this rise and fall in their craft, letting the notes kind of follow suit as they, too, rise and fall within the confines of their electronic blanket. Let this warmth wash over you a bit as you relax in your Friday vibes.

Fresh Track from Club 8

If you’re pressing play, you can’t tell me that the song doesn’t immediately get stuck in your head! Club 8 open their latest single with a thumping single, tossing you into a toe-tapping frizzy as that infectious groove locks you into good times. Of course, the band always play with catchy notes while fusing it with really warm melody, and they do that here, with both singers trading verses back and forth with one another to charming effect. There’s no word as of yet about a new album, but hints of a slew of singles coming our way in the new year, so we’ve all got that to hang our hopes atop.

Or Best Offer Announce Debut LP

As we look back on the year, I realize that I started to seek out some stuff that went deeper into the realms of indie rock, digging down into the caverns of the stuff that truly feels left of the dial…like Or Best Offer. The Chicago outfit burrowed into their own space, crafting their own instruments out of used children’s toys and spare parts, allowing them to toy with our expectations. It’s interesting to me that the album’s title is Center, as that’s what Grace Schmidhauser provides here, a sort of pop gravitational pull allowing the noisy planets and moons to orbit and overlap and crash into one another, building this textured web of interstellar indie noise. It will be interesting to see how far they take it on their debut, which drops via Ba Da Bing on January 26th.

Austin Psych Fest Announces Line-Up

Fresh off a rad year at Levitation, those good folks announce the line-up of their Spring edition Austin Psych Fest. After being gone for a bit, it’s been a great return to the Austin music schedule, with this year’s event taking place over the weekend of April 26 – 28! Line-up highlights include heavy hitters like Courtney Barnett, Dehd, Alvvays and Kurt Vile, but you know they always work hard to develop and curate, so expect some surprises as we draw nearer the date. You can grab tickets tomorrow via PreSale, and tickets go out to the public on Friday. Check HERE to get yours! The whole event will take place at the Far Out Lounge, home of $13 Miller Lite Drafts.

Fantastic Purple Spots Call the Christmas Ambulance

As the year begins to slowly wind down, there’s still some holiday cheer left in the world, or so I hope Today, we wanted to share with you a tune from Fantastic Purple Spots, who we may be working with in the New Year. This is their tune “Christmas Ambulance,” a meandering bit of psychedelic-tinged pop vibes; it manages to channel the band’s indie roots whilst still holding on to a faint hint of holiday spice. Personally, I love the way that the track builds this heavy fuzz that runs through the verses, building like you’d expect from someone working in Elephant 6 circles. Get your holiday cheer below! And keep your eyes peeled for news about a new EP in 2024!

TR/ST Share Brand New Single

B.Gray and I love TR/ST; we’ve loved the project since before the “u” was syntactically replaced. Today there’s a new bop from the dark electronica act, the first we’ve heard since 2019’s Destroyer LP. Weirdly, the groove on this one reminds me of a shadowy version of Lady Gaga’s “Poker Face,” operating with this rhythmic pulse that almost seems like it’s got spring yet never goes all the way over. That said, there’s some mystery to the TR/ST puts into his craft, allowing all the shadows to creep into his work, making it perfect for club nights before last call. Dais Records has just signed the artist, with the promise of a new EP coming in 2024.

Bouncing Pop from Mike Rowave

Really got stuck on this Mike Rowave track this morning, as it offered the perfect little midweek snack for me, kicking with just enough exuberance to get my toes tapping at 6 am. Musically, the song is something you might consider Drums or Beach Fossils adjacent, though I’ll admit the surfy notes feel a little more bent on electronic vibes, providing you with a spinning goth version of your favorite pop sounds. So maybe your week has been fairly “mid” as the kids like to tell me, and you need a ramp up. Drop into this track and let your day start off having a blast.

Fresh Big Bill Track! Featuring Chucky Blk!

Long ago we worked with Big Bill over at ATH Records, the home of legends I like to think. Since then, the band has continued their rise in the Austin scene, but more importantly, they’ve continued to push themselves as a band. Currently, they’re at work on a new record, thus they’ve dropped us a new track featuring another local heavy-hitter, Chucky Blk. The song opens up with a jittering stomp, marching forward as singer Eric Braden delivers his distinctive vocal crawl. His narration introduces us to a new character, and thus Chucky takes over the microphone delivering an incendiary stanza of magical poetry. We’re yet to know if this tune appears on the new LP, but it’s a hit worthy of listening to today!

Happy Like This Video from the Wind-Ups

A little over a month ago, the Wind-Ups dropped their latest LP, Happy Like This…and today we get a video version of the album’s title track. For all intents and purposes, it’s a skate promo, which matches up with the song’s lyrical content…”I’m happy like this.” Musically, you could file it under a mixture between various genres of punk; it’s a little bit gritty in spots, but also manages to sound huge and anthemic like you’d expect from a Spits record. Just goes to show that a little bit of proper noise can go a long way. If you’re interested in hearing more, might we suggest picking up Happy Like This from Mt. St. Mtn.
