MOMI Share Spring in Reverse + Release MOMI001

Leave a comment

Thanks to all the time I’ve spent with the recent Dummy album, my worlds just seem to be mixing like one of those psychedelic light shows they employ at Levitation; just like this new MOMI tune. The Sydney based duo are blending synthetics with a warbling wash of strange pop. There are moments when the tune drifts into this air indie rock, while other moments it feels like some sampled break-beat induced pop tune, mysteriously drawing you in with its whimsy. We’re at a place where folks are pushing their tastes into one striking world, and in doing so, we keep being given the gifts like the whole of this MOMI001 LP.

Tony Jay Joins Forces with The Moment of Nightfall

One comment

When Michael Ramos left to take Tony Jay over to Japan, I’m not sure that he envisioned a new project with The Moment of Nightfall, but here we are, and dammit if the world’s not instantly a better place. Thematically, the song’s and the album title, Winter Dream, imply a certain starkness in the world, and I’d be lying if I didn’t see that as perfectly fitting, as I prefer listening to these songs all cozied up in my blanket with my headphones on, as if its actually Winter. And sure, it’s Texas at the end of the world, so there is no Winter coming, but the song’s provide warmth, texturally and musically, thus comforting me in my time of need. Whether you hear a soft blanket of snow or a rustling of autumnal leaves as they fall to the ground, you surely hear the Earth breathing in tune with this new project. Winter Dream is out on November 29th via KillKillVilla Records.

Jennifer Castle Releases Earthsong Video

Leave a comment

Looking to have an emotional connection with the greater world? Might we encourage you to let Jennifer Castle help you find your way. The opening moment alone tugs at you, grounds you, connects you and Castle as one. Then, her voice enters, almost frolicking, carefree but still pensive in its presentation. For all intents and purposes, it does feel woodsy or pastoral, taking that Earth connection beyond literal and letting the emotional draw of the strum lock you into the sense of wonderment. If, you’re following Jennifer through the song and through the day, be sure to check out Camelot, which drops on November 1st via Paradise of Bachelors.

SCHOOL Share The End Video

Leave a comment

Our pals over at Geographie are stoked to announce the debut album from SCHOOL, dropping early in the new year. That said, you don’t have to wait too long, as the group have a single they’d love to squeeze into your rotation today: “The End.” There are really two pieces to this song. On one hand, you get modern bedroom pop, albeit spun through a bit of a disaffected youth lens. Then, you flip it over and there’s some grungy chorus that opens up on its back half to churn the tune into a sprawling pop number. Rinse and repeat, and you can certainly hear why we’re stoked with what the band are offering. We’ll keep you posted when we hear more about that new LP.

Curling Drop New Single

Leave a comment

Admittedly, this new Curling single’s been out for a week or so, but there’s definitely no reason to skip over this striking A side single, and it’s accompanying B-side. Their style on this single hits at sort of a mixture of softened indie rock, though spun with a certain sense of longing that’s super thrilling; there’s something about it that feels very late 90s, like a lot of bands stepping out of those post-emo shadows into more ornate indie rock. Listen for those really crisp high notes that span throughout various moments on the track, and each time it hits, I’m just crushed. The new single comes at you via Royal Oakie.

Sassyhiya Announce Take You Somewhere

Leave a comment

Fresh off of the catchiness of “Kristen Stewart,” London’s Sassyhiya return with the announcement of their brand new LP, Take You Somewhere. They jump right back into the joy of life with another infectious number, teasing you with noise before bouncing into the upbeat jangling that sets up the vocal work. Those vocal notes seem to ride on the crests of the rhythm section, going up and down as the track pitches back and forth, though the second foray into the verse seems a bit softer tonally. You should definitely have Take You Somewhere on your radar, as it drops on November 8th via Skep Wax.

The Convenience Share Two New Singles

Leave a comment

New Orleans outfit The Convenience are back with two fresh tracks that definitely have piqued our interest this morning. On one hand, they take a page from acts like The Embarassment or Omni with “Routiner”, stretching out jagged riffs and creative rhythms into a post-punk vibe that’s balances between frantic and pensive. They flip the script for “Postcard,” which features some great fiddle work from Max of Lawn; the chorus in this one definitely hits home, feeling like the best moments of some of our favorite Aussie bands. Little bits of buzzsaw creep in, filling out the backdrop, going beyond the basics. Both tracks are available today courtesy of Winspear.

Trauma Ray Share Spectre

Leave a comment

When looking back at this year’s albums, trying to figure out what will wrap up the Best of the Year lists, I’m hoping that this new Trauma Ray LP ends up on a lot of lists. This new single builds quietly, creeping along in the shadows with this slowcore styling. Suddenly, it erupts and drops in this block of noise, billowing through your speakers, and with the appropriate volume, rattling the inside of your house. It’s both quiet and loud, and always moving and morphing, which I adore as a listener. You’re really going to want to grab a copy of Chameleon, out October 25th via Dais.

Pop Filter Share For Me Single

Leave a comment

There’s only about a week left until Pop Filter release their latest masterpiece (I’m assuming!), but they bring us one more single to illustrate just what makes their work so rewarding as a listener. Since they’re way way back as Ocean Party, they’ve always employed multiple songwriters, and in fact, every member has penned songs, so on the new single, they’re taking almost this sort of post-psychedelic dream scape route. They lock into a groove, aided by luxurious string arrangements, then the song sort of spreads out, slowly like a cloud of fog moving inland, lifting the listener as they embrace the melody. Just another reason Ray and Lorraine’s should be on your radar before its October 4th release.

Roma NYC Share Never Knew Single

Leave a comment

Next Spring we’ll get a new release from Roma NYC, so we should make sure we’re all well aware of the craft hanging on the horizon. You’re met with twisting jangles and driving pop vibes, all built around this little bit of a whisper that works as the vocal. I love the way it switches between a dominant presence and one that feels more ethereal in nature, all the while the guitars dance and twirl behind. Tons of switches keep the dreamy nature from feeling like its playing into some of the overdone corners of bedroom pop, and thus, in this presentation, it feels quite refreshing.
