Wombo Shares Spyhopping Single
Every twist and turn on this new single from Wombo seems intentionally set, like the band are purposefully sonically shapeshifting, lulling us into the secretive realms of their sound. At times, struck notes can ring discordantly, but they don’t put you off, only pique your interest as the bass works you back into the rhythm of the track. It goes this way, then that way, letting Sydney Chadwick weave her way through the well-crafted skeletal backbone of this jam. Danger in Fives is out on August 8th via Fire Talk.
A surefire way to catch my ear is by making a slight nod to the Go-Betweens, and that’s exactly what 
What a crazy week of music it was. We had new shit, cool shit, trendy shit, weird shit, dance shit…just a bunch of really awesome tunes. Austin had a lot of representation, with new jams from K. Boswell, Die Spitz and Day Friend and Thanks Light. There were several outright rad tunes that you need to crank up, like BRNDA and Weakened Friends, so be sure you click to give those the proper love. Some cool electronica style bops too, from the likes of Angel T33th, Brown Lemon and Solo Career. And, if you know what’s right for you, you’ll swing below and turn on that new Shame track…or find something weird in between.
A lot of really great music dropped today, and, well, we’d be poor stewards of the underground if we didn’t point you in the right direction for some of these new releases. You get indiepop legends returning after a lengthy absence; you get a bit of a modern take on the Pastels; try on an eccentric crooner; and end up with a little noise pop. You can’t go wrong with any of these releases, but as always be sure to support the artists and labels!
