Pop Filter Return with Dirt Road Anthem
The welcome news of a new LP from Pop Filter never hurts anyone over here at ATH, as our history with the band and its members spans over a decade. Throughout those years we’ve marveled at the group’s abilities to interchange songwriters and never lose a sense of themselves, as you can clearly hear in their brand new single. On the new track, they take a sort of railway mentality, running up the tracks with this steady snap of drums, incorporating the whole group for the harmonies that cement the group’s “pop” craftsmanship. This tune appears on the group’s Trade Place Tape, which drops on October 17th via Bobo Integral.

ATH got her groove back! Okay, maybe not entirely, but feel like we’ve gotten some solid coverage this week, bringing you some stuff that the other hit promoters might have missed. I wanted to start the playlist off this week with the new single from Massage, as that track made me rush out and count my quarters to grab a copy. RayRay reminded us that Shy Boys are still a force to be reckoned with, while B.Gray is out there encouraging those remaining tickets for Levitation to get picked up. Otherwise, we’re a little all over the place, stylistically, moving between the post-punk of Optic Sink and electronica of Sam Prekop to the quiet beauty of Greg Jamie; there’s a little something for everyone if you click play below!
If you’re looking for a nice dosage of pop this morning, can I turn you onto Pet Owner; the Swiss artist announces her latest LP, Second Nature. Her work is all about musical quilting; she carefully layers texture after texture in a synthetic structure, and this go round it’s a delicate bit of bedroom pop. The negative space on the track perfectly opens the tune for the vocals, allowing them do drift in and out of the musical cracks and filling them with magical melodies. Second Nature is slated for a release early next year, so expect us to return with a handful more singles for you!
