One More Hit From Glimmer

Leave a comment

It seems like this might be THE year for NYC based band Glimmer, as they seem to be slow dropping hits in anticipation of their debut LP in October. Having already released the tracks “Buired,” along with Sludgy number “Sorrow Again,” and it’s like, hey now guys, you can’t be releasing all these hits in one year! Of course, they press on, building excitement again with this new single called “Slow Saturday.” For me, the best description comes straight from the band, calling it “grungegaze” mixing in the noise of legends like J&MC with more current, gazey grunge groups like Nothing or Catcher. Love this stuff.

You can now pre-order the debut LP from Glimmer entitled Get Weak directly from their bandcamp page.

Premiere: Living Hour Share Waiter

Leave a comment

Over the years, with everything we cover and talk about, a handful of bands sort of become those “ATH groups” who get covered consistently over a span of many years. Winnipeg’s Living Hour is one of those “approved” groups who first hit our pages nearly TEN years ago! Naturally, the band has never slowed down and have a stellar new album called Internal Infinity Drone due out on October 17th via pals Keeled Scales and Paper Bag Records. Prior to the full release, you simply must check out this new gem “Waiter,” which is sure to liven up your ear holes. We heart you Living Hour.

Pre-orders are now live for the new album!

Flypaper Back With A Gem

Leave a comment

Rory Sear’s new solo project under the moniker flypaper came onto our radar in the spring of last year with the release of his debut EP Other Orbit. Well now Sear is back again this year with his much anticipated debut full length called Forget the Rush, which of course comes with new tunes to enjoy. This new joint “Oh Well,” is what I would call a true gem in the indie folk or indie songwriter genre. It shows this tuned in knack for crafting songs with personal lyrics and expertly timed hints of pop undertones. Lovely.

You can pre-order your copy of Forget the Rush now. It’s out on November 7th via PNKSLM records.

 

Flock of Dimes Back With a Stunner

Leave a comment

Jenn Wasner is on a short list for me as one of those songwriters who can truly do no wrong in my mind, whether it’s with her mainstay Wye Oak or her solo project Flock of Dimes. The combination of her soothing voice and intimate approach to folk influence pop has always held a personal place in my soul. Today Wasner has this lovely new tune called “Long After Midnight” ready for all you fans under her FOD solo moniker. It’s just so dreamy. When the slide kick in about halfway through, so good.

This track is part of a new Flock of Dimes album entitled The Life You Save which is due out October 10th on Sub Pop. Pre-orders are live.

New Alt-Rock Jam From Thistle.

Leave a comment

While we were closed up on Friday for some holiday, Northampton based upstarts thistle. released this bangin’ new single called “it’s nice to see you, stranger” and I had to share it this morning. It has a groovy, sort of alt-rock grungy vibe to it, loaded with fuzzed out guitars and subdued vocals. Noisy, a tad hazy – love it. If you’re into it, the band has a new 5 song EP of the same name which you can stream on bandcamp now. Physical copies of the release are currently up for pre-order now via Venn Records.

Dreamy New Tune From Deleterolf

Leave a comment

Things will likely be a bit slow this week as people shut ease into a holiday weekend on Friday. Before then, we of course have a few songs to throw your way for mid-week and weekend vibing. Though it’s early yet, this new track called “Used to Be” from Zurich based artist deleterolf is my frontrunner for your track of the week. It has a super dreamy, yet driving vibe to it an gives off the quiet beauty of say Efterklang mixed with Beach House. I am sure you’ll love it.

Glimmer Drop Another Hit

Leave a comment

New York based group Glimmer has been slowly releasing hit after hit over the last couple of years or so. Today we’ve been notified that a debut album is finally coming sometime this fall, which will feature this new jam “Sorrow Again.” It’s a sludgy, grungy gem of a tune and I will seriously start questioning your tastes if you don’t like or have yet to discover this band. We’ll keep you posted as deets trickle in on the new album, but in the meantime, enjoy this one.

White Reaper Return With Honestly

Leave a comment

It’s been a wild week with some of our ATH mainstays dropping new tunes, and today seems to be no different with old time Kentucky favorites White Reaper also hitting us with something fresh. This one has really lifted my spirits in knowing the band plans to carry on after some recent turmoil over the last couple of years with lineup changes, label issues, and general burnout. With this new track, “Honestly,” my heart is happy to hear a band dealing with the struggle lyrically while still churning out a fantastic rock n roll hit. Things do get a touch poppier here with more keys and softer bass, so change is coming, but I for one welcome the evolution and welcome the boys back.

This track is part of the new White Reaper album entitled One Slightly Empty which is due out on September 26th via the band’s new label Blue Grape Music.

A-Z Benefit Show @ Alienated Majesty Books 6.29

Leave a comment

It’s well known that we ATH kids love our old emo and 00s indie music, hell, it’s how this whole thing got started in the first place. So it would make sense for us to naturally feel a connection with upstart emo and indie booking collective Tiny Sounds. They’ve got some great local bands associated with the project and also just got a fancy Austin Chronicle Award for being the best emo bookers in town. We pick up what they putting down.

On Sunday the 29th, Tiny Sounds have this sick show going down at Alienated Majesty Books in West Campus featuring three of their best bands covering some of our all time favorites. Drunk Uncle comes in as Modest Mouse, Minuano will cover Bright Eyes, and Boyd will be acting as Pedro the Lion. We plan to be there singing along and you should too! Best of all, this is a benefit for the A-Z scholarship at Del Valle High School. All proceeds will go to support this scholarship for a top arts student at DV high school. Emo and supporting our students? You know we’re about that. Show is at 7:30 with a $10 cover.

Another Hit From The Beths

Leave a comment

Look, we absolutely love The Beths and everything they have done since that stunning debut Future Me Hates Me back in 2018. Seriously, one of our favorite bands to emerge recently, and consistently a contender for year end lists. This new track, “No Joy,” is really no different and I am finding myself currently playing it over and over to make it through the day. We love this band and you should too.

As previously mentioned, The Beths will release new album Straight Line Was a Lie on August 29th via Anti- Records. Pre-orders are live now!
