ATH Top Songs 2024 – RayRay Edition

Leave a comment

Another year is coming to a close and as we try to survive the ensuing insanity of 2025, it’s always fun to take a look back on the year that was. At this point in our existence, I can’t say any of us here at ATH put all that much stock into posturing and arbitrary year end lists, but again, I can appreciate the reflection. I am the lucky one who gets to kick off this nonsense with a year end playlists featuring a bunch of songs I found myself enjoying in 2024. Hopefully you might just find some gems you didn’t know about or something you forgot about. Though I think we ARE Brat in mindset, we are not Brat in musical tastes. Did I do that right? Check out the jump for links to both Apple Music and yes, even Spotify.

Pretty Lightning Return with Glade Runner

Leave a comment

We’re getting down to the end of the year folks and it seems like most sites are focused on top songs, lists and year end wrap ups. While we may or may not get there at some point, we’ve still got new tunes coming in for top 2024 contention just before the year end break. My old German pals from Pretty Lightning just shared new track “Glade Runner” and it’s definitely trying to sneak it’s way into my year end list. It features that downright nasty version of psych laden blues I’ve grown to love about the band’s sound over the years. Dig it.

Pretty Lightning will release this track as part of a new album entitled Night Wobble which is due out February 21st.

Heavy New Tune From Open Head

Leave a comment

The self-proclaimed heaviest band in Kingston, NY, Open Head, just shared this banging new track called “NY Frills” and I have deemed it worthy to share with you all. You’ll find a heavy post-punk, dark sort of vibe to the track perfect for fans of modern bands like Deeper. It’s a tad noisy with just enough rock n roll to keep it fresh and interesting. Check it out below.

Open Head will release this track as part of a new album entitled What Is Success due out January 24th via Wharf Cat Records. Pre-orders are live now.

Premiere: Sunnsetter Give Us One More Banger

Leave a comment

It seems to be a year where myself and Ontario based songwriter Andrew McLeod are in perfect alignment with the musical vibes we need for comfort at the moment. McLeod has been dropping hit after hit this year under his recording project Sunnsetter, and right before the release date on Friday, we have been treated to another banger. This one has a touch more of an overall electronic feeling to it with a droning beat and a swirling, distorted guitar to balance everything out. Seriously, if you haven’t yet made a pre-order for the new album, Heaven Hang Over Me, go ahead and do it now before the release date tomorrow. Paper Bag Records has a variety of fancy ordering options.

Peaer Shares Just Because

Leave a comment

It’s been a hot second since we last heard from NYC based Peaer. Since the stellar album A Healthy Earth back in 2019, the band has been relatively quiet with sparse live shows and few updates. After the lull, you can imagine one fan boys excitement when news came in this morning of a fresh single called “Just Because” with the promise of some live dates as well. The ATH crew is always down for this new wave of post-emo, intricate instrumentation type of vibes, so you had to know we’d share this one today.

Stay tuned for more from Peaer in 2025. “Just Because” is available below or via all streaming platforms.

Stream New Track From Lots of Hands

Leave a comment

Been a bit of a slow come up for me as we start to really deal with the aftermath of last week. Somewhat somber, sort of slow, maybe still in a slight haze all over. This new track from Newcastle based lots of hands matches that hazy feeling many of us are experiencing with this new joint “backseat 30.” It plays nicely between a twangy banjo and some electronic stylings, paired with hushed, and intimate vocals. Seemingly a perfect tune to chill out for the rest of your day.

lots of hands will release a new album entitled into a pretty room on January 17th via Fire Talk. Pre-orders are live now.

Levitation Interviews: Hello Mary

Unless you are living under some sort of large rock, you should be fully aware that Levitation Festival started last night in the ATX.

Stream New Album From Sam Blasucci

Leave a comment

Like most Fridays, lots of great albums are dropping today, but I’d like to point your attention to the new one from L.A. based musician Sam Blasucci. Now I’ve previously shared his stunning tune “Witching Hour” so you should be familiar with the general sound. Expanding on that track, Blasucci has an expansive, fourteen track album highlighting his skill at creating alternative pop tunes. He flows between twangy alt-country, 60s lounge, and a wealth of other styles and genres. Check out Real Life Thing in full below and enjoy the adventure.

Of course if you’re feeling the album, consider a purchase. It comes through a joint release from Calico Discos and Innovative Leisure.

If you are not yet listening to the new music from Minneapolis based Heart to Gold, what are you even doing with your life?

Check it out below and also listen to the previously shared “TNT” if you’re still in the dark.
