Skloss Announce The Pattern Speak

Leave a comment

Austin/Glasgow duo SKLOSS have been making waves the last few years, releasing their Voices Travel Through EP in 2022; their buzz has led to the signing with Fuzz Club Records for their forthcoming LP. The video version sets the ominous tone with a dimly lit convenience store introducing the opening riff that builds before Karen enters the picture with wailing vocals over the top. Slowly, drums begin to thump while the guitar continues to reverberate. Everything smashes together and the two lock into a heavy groove, displaying the full force the duo bring to the table. If heavy psychedelia is your cup of tea, sign up to follow SKLOSS and their new LP The Pattern Speaks…out on February 7th.

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.

Three Quarter Skies Offers Superwoman Single

Leave a comment

When listening to the latest single from Three Quarter Skies, it should come as no surprise to you that the band is the project of Slowdive’s Simon Scott, particularly as this feels like an adjacent shadow, fading in and out of the light. Notes bend and warp on the front of the mix, with percussive elements reverberating to create this shimmering aura that drenches the track in this musical dampness. From there, you can hear the vocals weaving in and out of the cavernous world, notes bouncing off the wall and down the hall, only to reach your ears seconds later. Out today via Sonic Cathedral, with a remix by some Sonic Boom character from the early days of Sega Genesis.

The Rishis Return with Coloring

Leave a comment

While they’ve been hammering around in the Athens scene for some time, the Rishis only released their delightful debut back in 2022, so, that seems to have spurned the wheels of creativity now that the group have announced their follow-up LP. They’ve offered us up an enchanting first single, a tune that falls somewhere between the pop charms of Beulah, though wearing hints of the Athens scene. You’ll find textures galore, be that layered guitars, piano notes or blasts of horns; it’s all in there to give a light-hearted nature to the psychedelia, encouraging you to dive don your headphones and blast this loudly as you walk amidst the Fall leaves. You’re not going to find a happier place than right here, thus encouraging you to keep your eyes focused on the their new self-titledLP out next February via Cloud Recordings.

Shrapnel Announce Sedan Crater + Share New Video

Leave a comment

When Shrapneldropped their 2021 LP Alasitas, it got a lot of coverage (and plays) on our end of things over here, so when an email came in with a fresh single and an album announce, I was ready to share…and here we are. This new jam jumps right on, twisting jangling guitars into hook-laden distortion machines wielding pop sensationalism for the masses. As the energy ebbs and flows, you can see the band working on their own axe wielding tricks, playing with organized robotics that strike the emphatic notes in all the right spots. They’ll be releasing Sedan Crater on January 31st via Tenth Court, and we’ll keep you posted as more singles pop out!

Dusty Lucite Release the Rate of Change of the Rate of Change

Leave a comment

Feel like going forward, art is going to dive further into the political, or at least the overt political, like this new Dusty Lucite single. They’ve paired their latest track with a video on climate change, combining United Nations footage to illustrate the catastrophic impact of mankind on nature; it’s hard to ignore those things, especially as a parent, but even more as it looks like our politicians are turning a blind eye in favor of a dollar. Alas, none of it would work if the song wasn’t this striking swing of bedroom pop, cresting and splashing down upon the listener, while a little organ works its way in the distance, dancing in unison with light snare work that steadies the ethereal haunt of the backing vocals.

Will Johnson Shares Sleuthed/Full Cuts EP

Leave a comment

If you were paying attention to our friends over at Keeled Scales, you hopefully grabbed a copy of No Ordinary Crown, last year’s excellent Will Johnson LP. And, if you loved that record, you’re in luck as Will has released a companion EP today that matches up with the sentiment that filled that LP. You’ll get a few demo versions from the album, which Will recorded in various locales, but the special gift you’ll want it “Frame It,” the EP’s opening tune. It’s a track of sincerity, with Johnson’s voice an absolute highlight, especially when that guitar slides in behind his strum to let us all get lost in the world. Stream the EP below!

 

Good Morning Announce Surprise LP

Leave a comment

RayRay and I love Good Morning, and in fact, I even took the band to grab an Arma-delo the last time they were in Austin, so we’ve got to get behind the announcement of a surprise second LP from the group in 2024. It’s a meandering 8 minute pop rock track, embracing the title by just floating through the ether and coolly hitting your ears; it could even be considered easy listening, if you were into that sort of thing…which we are! Don’t be scared away by the length, as they fill that space with plenty of musicality and vocals, so it’s more like a classic Good Morning pop song, stretched for your benefit. The Accident will be out on November 29th.

Horsegirl Share 2468 Video + Announce New Album

Leave a comment

This track and news will likely blow up in about ten minutes, so I just wanted to make sure we had it up. Horsegirl have been on a hot streak, and this new single is so playful and steadying, that you’re really going to find yourself stuck in this infectious loop…though I don’t think you’ll mind once you press play. Looks like they’re playing with syllables and such on their new LP, Phonetics On and On, which will be released by Matador Records on Valentine’s Day. This band rips and that’s really all you need to know.

Rosa Bordallo Shares I Feel Numb + Announces New LP

Leave a comment

If Rosa Bordallo isn’t on your radar just yet, you might want to rectify that, especially after you listen to this brand new single from the indigenous native of Guam. Working in New York, she seems to have soaked up the influences, brimming with this balance of elegant bedroom pop and more avant songwriting, allowing her work to sound bold yet distinctive in its presentation. Striking string arrangements add nuanced shades here, with a rolling drum beat adding just enough snap to breathe life into the tune’s movement. It’s a pretty special opening statement, hinting that when Isidro rolls around, we’re in for a wonderful treat; it drops on January 31st.
