Bodywash Share Massif Central Video

You’re not going to want to miss out on this new Bodywash track, particularly if you’re dabbling the darkened corners of the post-punk industrial complex. For starters, the video’s really great, mixing in various components to build this futuristic world that meets up with the musical element. That music is both propulsive and noisy, though it remains wholly tied to the central melody that drives the band’s creation. Guitar notes swirl angularly, until they forced to skitter off into the noisier realms; the vocals lurk somewhere in the song’s shadows, careful not to outshine everything that surrounds them. The duo will release I Held the Shape While I Could on April 14th via Light Organ Records.

Terry Are Back with Call Me Terry

A few years have passed since we’ve had a proper Terry full length out there, and now the group return with a fresh collection of tunes to carry with their joyous approach. Upon pressing play, you’re instantly greeted by the group’s knack for penning a pop tune on the scuzzy side of DIY. I love how the initial vocals walk this fine line between warmth and springy, making way for the rest of the group to come in with this sort of pseudo-echo that punctuates the natural melody. And then, because its the only way they know how, the band spin off into this frizzling pop realm that closes off the tune. Call Me Terry is out in April via Upset the Rhythm and Anti Fade.

The Parlor Share Ecstasy You Single

We’ve been promised a brand new long player from the Parlor later this Spring, so while we sit in anticipation, let us enjoy a sprinkle of what’s to come from the group. You get a clear two minutes to immerse yourself slowly in the tune, with psychedelic meanderings lurking behind the vocals of Jen O’Connor in this dreamy fashion. Then the tune lights up, as if a match has lit the fuse with a bit more empathic elements lifting the song and stretching O’ Connor’s voice to its limits. Little excursive notes sparkle and fade in the song’s distance as the group flirt tease you from the haunting corners of the tune. We’ll keep you updated when news comes our way of the long player.

Telehealth Share Taliesin Grid Video

Telehealth seems like a band that’s willing to fulfill the promise of everything crafted in the 80s synth realm. They’ve got loads of hypnotic rhythms running through this new single, punctuated by these off-kilter notes, with all the sounds seemingly feuding with one another to grab the listener’s ear. Of course, with all those musical trappings, the vocals have to be sharp and spot on, which they are, emphatically delivered in quick bursts, which will likely recall some Devo nods at a certain point. So, if you’re into danceable post-punk with a nostalgic bent to it, might I suggest giving Content Oscillator a chance; it’s out on March 30th.

Evntyd Share Quotidian Single

With all the releases out in the world, it’s always tough to keep up with new tunes, even if its hiding out in your own backyard, like Evntyd. Honestly, the post-punk project just snuck onto my radar with this new single, so I’ve been diving in pretty heavily. This tune begins with two moods, there’s a darkness haunting the atmosphere, but the propulsive nature and angular guitar riffs give off this melodic texture that’s definitely in my wheelhouse. Then the tune takes on solid bit of dreaminess when the vocals mix in, kind of slowly filling your room as they billow out. Definitely an artists I’ll be keeping my eye on going forward.

Sid Steppes Shares Night Turns Into Day

Feel like nothing is needed more on a Monday morning than a good driving rocker, such as the tune below we’ve got from Sid Steppes. It begins in unassuming fashion, faint hints of fuzz hanging out on the edges of the tune. Once that pedal drops in, you get the full weight of those heavy riffs burrowing into your eardrums; it’s exactly the style that made everyone swoon over Ty Segall, so if that’s your fit, might I suggest turning this up loud and letting it rip. If you dig on it, Sid also just dropped In Recent Memory, a full collection of tunes for you to enjoy.

Last Week’s Jams (1.17 – 1.20)

You’d think in a short coverage week, we’d have few tunes, but there was so much great stuff last week, that we couldn’t help but to try and cover as much as we loved. Personally, I fawned over new Lachlan Denton, Cor de Luxand Tiny Ruins, plus continued my support for Spice World as Album of the Year. I also hit up the Austin scene with new stuff from Bayonne, Dorio, Fantastic Purple Spotsand Rad Gnar. RayRay loved that new Pile tune to death and premiered a new Strawberry Fuzz jam you can find lurking in here too. If we missed something super cool, let us know, otherwise, here’s a way to pass an hour of your day, happily.

Stream There’s No I In Spice World from Spice World

I know there are tons of great releases spread out through 2023 already, but I’ve already got There’s No I In Spice World penciled into my Top Ten of the year, and it’s only the 3rd week of January. To be fair, I’d put it there on the back of my favorite tune “Mountain Pony 20” alone, which I’m pretty sure I’ve played nearly 1000 times already. The band manage to walk this line between weary pop and energetic jangling pop. “Useless Feeling” offers that more upbeat churn you’ve come to expect from the current crop of Aussie outfits; the chorus is sublime tossing the steady beat into this joyous dual-vocal euphoria. You’ll find more explorative tracks like “Snake Oil” or “What a Pity What a Shame,” but regardless, you’ve got to stick out ’til the end to play “Dying to Go” at least a handful of times with a smile on your face. Spice World‘s new album is out today via Tenth Court/Meritorio.

The Primitives Share Panic + Release New EP

You’ve got to get something with a little spring to it, right? That’s why this great single from classic UK outfit the Primitives is perfect. I was drawn to the rhythm section, almost riffing on a reggae/rock-steady grooves, giving the tune this galloping feel from the very start. Tracy Tracy’s vocal performance is spot on for pop fans; she has these classic notes that recall the best of the 60s/70s performances, which likely make her one of the great voices, period. Plus, you throw all that together with classic indie rock, and you’ve got another charming song from the long-running outfit. Plus, today they release their Don’t Know Where to Start EP courtesy of HHBTM.

Rad Gnar Premiere Are You a Friend

Our old friends in Rad Gnar are living in the same space as I am at the moment, raising young kids (with another on the way–congrats Ben!). So, as we all do, or so I think, they’re writing songs that reflect those changes, with this tune serving as a reflection of the birth of your first child and the cosmic energies that surround us all. Musically, you’re going to hear the band blend heavier pop rock a la Superchunk with little elements of pop-punk and emo thrown in to create this huge ripping sound; it’s filled with yearning in the vocals and giant guitar-monies, so feel free to fall in love. You can find this track on the group’s Dead Strings EP.
