No Peeling Share Pink Flamingoes

Leave a comment

For all its frantic nature and quick quirks, the newest track from No Peeling is the sort of cleanser you need in your life; it will have you bouncing from one note to the next, leap-frogging your way across the continuous juxtaposition of musical moments. One guitar seems to be climbing up the wall, while the other seems to be scratching at your insides, and all the while, there’s this sort of scientific spoken fashion delivery on the vocal side; it’s like your part of some ginormous musical experiment that you can’t pull yourself away from. If you’d like to take part in the scientific realm of music, grab the No Peeling EP from Feel It Records on September 5th.

Rosa Anschutz Share Sun Tavern

Leave a comment

When I first encountered this new tune from Rosa Anschutz, the experienced feel of her craft made me wonder why I hadn’t heard from her prior to this new single, and then I learned she’s been working in the electronic underground in Germany for years. My fascination revolves around the evolution of the track, building on this sort of cavernous industrial feel with a powerful vocal dominating the front of the mix; the voice dances and dashes to match up with some of the parallel textures at play in the guitars. Then, as you adjust your listening to the electronic nature, it instantly begins to twist into this bold soaring indie rock croon, pushing into this realm that seems to have few peers. Such a fascinating listen you should try on for size; look for her first foray outside the German scene with Sabbatical, out September 24th via Heartworm Press.

Adults Announce The Seeds We Sow Are Sprouting Buds Nonetheless

Leave a comment

Admittedly, the title of the album might be a touch long-winded, but that doesn’t detract from the excitement bubbling inside my brain as there’s news of a fresh Adults record. The group have consistently set out to craft a joyous brand of indie rock akin to Martha, and this go round, they feel like they’re swimming riot there with their peers. The layered way the vocals work in this tune seems to create this natural brand new melody, so you’ve got the traditional one being supplanted by a layered melody, all of it swirling around these lightly growling guitar lines that will make all the indie kids jealous. Crank it up and look for The Seeds We Sow Are Sprouting Buds Nonetheless to rise to the top when Fika Recordings drop it on October 31st.

New Single from Tilde

Leave a comment

Let’s tiptoe into Wednesday with a little track from Sweden’s Tilde, whom we’ve covered on our end before. There’s a new album from the singer on the horizon, and this old school style of pop will have you swooning, at least if you’re a living human. The arrangement is pretty sparse throughout, with some ghostly backing vocals and a steady bass line walking the tune atop the snappy snare playfulness. Tilde’s voice has this unique little quiver to it, kind of faint on the back end of each syllable, and as such, it leaves you with this sublime charm that will surely have you interested enough to keep Little Girl Blue on your radar; it drops at the end of October.

Another Track from Shabason, Krgovich and Tenniscoats

Leave a comment

The on-going project of Shabason, Krgovich and Tenniscoats has provided me with this solace amidst the storm that is my life at the moments; it’s a reminder to breathe and observe. Each note seems carefully placed, as if tip-toeing through the streets presented in the video, allowing the listener to quietly watch on as we chase our own pursuits. Whilst the majority of the tune’s we’ve heard have dwelled in the Tenniscoats vocal world, this one has a mixture, building a layer of anticipation that will surely be rewarded if we latch onto the patience presented in the craft. Look for Wao this Friday via Western Vinyl.

New Music from Aaron Orbit

Leave a comment

Perhaps the greatest thing about indulging in the world of indiepop or dream pop is the wistful nature, such as this track from Aaron Orbit. There’s some feeling that escapes me, yet I continue to chase it, like hope and dreams floating just out of reach so I’m still chasing. The pacing on this tune is perfect, letting the synthesizer work flex in all the right spots, so that it never completely overshadows the vocals. I loved the little noisy burst that creeps up midway, breaking up the tune just enough to make avoid redundancy, whilst still feeling connected to the genres roots. Totally loving this jam.

John Moods Joins Up with Discovery Zone

Leave a comment

As I revel in the vibes this week, maybe we should turn our attention this morning towards John Moods and Discovery Zone, who’ve just dropped this collaborative single. Musically, there’s a gentleness, which comes as a surprise as the lyrical content seems to detail a shattered relationship, albeit one that continues to unfold and reemerge as the times goes forward. The bobbing bass beneath the Discovery Zone vocals add this brilliant layer that creates the sublime mood I’m basking in as I write this. And then, well, the tune takes off, moving into this more futuristic realm, perhaps hinting at what lays before us all. This tune available courtesy of Mansions and Millions.

Whisper Release Turn Around

Leave a comment

There is always something brewing within the confines of our fair city, and Whisper is one of the newer acts popping up on my radar. They’re crafting songs in the style that is blending both dream pop and shoegaze, taking the noisier elements and blanketing them in a layer of quiet that allows the melodic structures to crest and fall. This single teases with tension, letting the breathy vocals open into a collision of churning crystalline guitar notes as the drums punctuate the noise. They don’t full dive into the noisy pull though, just maybe dangling a toe in the waters of distortion, so you can still hear the beauty in what they’re doing.

Thom Chapman Shares Lucy Hides

Leave a comment

This Thom Chapman jam’s been floating around for a few weeks now, and while it has racked up some solid views, I wanted to dive into it, as I’m still working through the vibes on this Monday morning. I love the way Chapman seems to kind of take samples of all the things I love, whether that’s classic indie riffs or thumping beats, building this sort of dreamscape where you can escape the world whilst still holding tight to some energetic pulses. When you match that with the cinematic nature of the video, your imagination begins to spiral into the mysterious treasures of the world. Sort of like a more pop-centric Flaming Lips on Yoshimi.

Did You Listen to Blossomer?

Leave a comment

There were a lot of really great records that dropped on Friday, and while heavy-hitters likely took the fame, I hope you will spend some time with Stray Fossa‘s latest opus, Blossomer. Those of you who are seeking out extra crisp guitar sounds will surely have this album spinning for several weeks, and opening track “Change the Film” creates the attraction instantly; it’s using these twisting little guitar lines and feathered vocals to seduce you. As you dig into the record, it’s the softness of the vocals building an intimacy between band and listener, and the production has the perfect amount of balance, letting the guitars dance and swing like on “Quiet Quitting,” though the voice still opens you up to the album’s dreamier nature. Ten tracks of magnificent guitar pop to make you swoon, so get to it and stream Blossomer below!
