Egentid Release Sail On EP

Leave a comment

Swedish outfit Egentid release their new Sail On EP today, and it’s a special bit of pastoral folk that seems perfectly fitting for the raining morning. The songs on the EP are filled with gentle harmonies and arrangements that carry light instrumentation into sweeping emotions. I got caught on the track below, with really high vocal tones on the chorus that completely had me wrapped up; the light acoustic strum also fits the mold for easing your way into the morning. It’s going to be a long weekend, so immerse yourself in the lightness ready to wrap you up in its stunning warmth. The whole of the EP can be streamed HERE.

Jahnah Camille Drops Poppy New Single

Leave a comment

Birmingham certainly isn’t the first place that comes to mind when thinking about dreamy, alt pop tunes, but Jahnah Camille hopes to alter your mindset with new single “what do you do?” The track features those elements along with some faint hints of alt-rock and late 90s post-grunge in there somewhere as well. It is sure to make a home in your ear holes today.

This track is part of a new EP entitled My sunny oath! which is due out June 13th via Winspear. Pre-orders are live now.

JAWNY Drops Brand New Single

Leave a comment

Musically, my brain is all over the map today, and I’m totally cool with that, as that’s what the site’s for, right? Well, some rock, some softer stuff, and now this fantastic new pop tune from JAWNY. The artist has been stretching himself artistically, working on endeavors that expand outside of the music spectrum, and all of that is bleeding into the new single. There’s this sort of rhythmic pulse in here that kind of bobs and weaves between each delivered line, kind of matching the sort of pop energy from that Methyl Ethel/Stella Donnelly collaboration a few years back. It brings out this energy that’s part hook and part slow groove, and you can’t deny the natural joy provided by the song’s constant push and pull, pushing your body to let loose and just embrace the day.

Why Bother Announce You Are Part of the Experiment EP + Share Listen

Leave a comment

After churning out a couple of killer LPs last year, Iowa’s Why Bother, the group are set to return with a brand new EP titled You Are Part of the Experiment. We’re pleased to bring you the opening track from the record, but be forewarned, excessive volume is likely to blow through your speakers. Listeners will be treated to some audio samples, and then suddenly, you’re hit with a barrage of buzzsaw guitars; they’re gritty and blown out, giving off the vibe that you’re being chased through the hallways of some insane asylum. Vocals are delivered in a rather disaffected manner; the kind where each lyric is spoken as a matter of fact, but the melodic nature pokes its head out from time to time, like when the line of “I don’t care/I’m not going to listen anymore” is followed by a few syllabic harmonies. If you love to let your speakers live on the edge, turn this one up, then grab the EP from Feel It Records before the April 18th release date!

Dumb Things Share Outta Time Track

Leave a comment

In a little over one wee, my current favorite Aussie’s, Dumb Things, will release their latest album, Self Help. They’ve been teasing us since the record’s announcement, and we’ve got one final single to enjoy before we double down and play the album on repeat for weeks. “Outta Time” caught my ear at first because of the percussive element on this track; it’s quick and snappy, whipping the song into a frenzy, despite the rest of the group trying to pull back on the reigns. For me, that matched up with the refrain “feels like I’m running outta time” that courses through the song’s entirety, and how often do you get to say the lyrics and rhythm section match up? Then of course, there’s overlapping harmonies and the group’s affinity for crafting melodic magic, so again, Self Help is out next Friday and you’re going to need to listen!

The Slashes Share War Candy Single

Leave a comment

San Diego’s The Slashes gave me a rush of blood to the head with this new single. Guitars race right into your ear, ripping up these angular notes that make you twirl and stop the floor all at once. Everything feels frantic and dangerous, but the vocals do their part to offset that vibe, teasing a bit of solace amidst the swirling textures. Those vocal tones are so heavy that they manage to weigh down the guitar and drums, so it creates this really intoxicating effect as you can feel both pieces working in contrast to one another. Crank it up and fall for this ripper.

Pachyman Drops Another New Single

Leave a comment

New Adrian Quesada and new Pachyman? Clearly, I’m going to be operating with the world’s most chilled vibe today, especially as I sink into this Pachyman jam. He’s combining his love of dub and the chugging rhythm of the guitar with a bit of space-age industry. His vocal samples here are perfect, like little faint echoes you might hear bouncing down the hallways from afar. And sure, those little dub grooves rip, but I love the little synthetic notes and how they take the style and make it feel remarkably fresh. Then you hook it with the video where all you get is smiles, and I can absolutely not turn this one off! Another Place will be out on ATO Records on May 23rd.

Pleased to Meet You: Tee Templeton

One comment

It’s seems a rarity that a 66-year-old artist breaks through the noise to land with a debut, but Tee Templeton is definitely someone worth encountering today. He spent his life with his songwriting waiting patiently on the sidelines while he attended to his career and other life endeavors, but has now come back with his second single that’s really stuck inside my head. At first, the intricate opening took me aback, but as soon as the tune hits the 30 second mark, the tune completely shifts into Bolan/Bowie territory. I, of course, loved that, but those similarities move into other pop territories as the arrangement layers in strings that buoy the entirety of the track. Really mesmerized by this song.

Bedridden Share Philadelphia Get Me Through Single

Leave a comment

There’s new singles coming out left and right, and my disastrous ability to focus on one genre sees me skittering between pop and soft rock and, well, bold blasts of rock like the latest from Bedridden. Their newest single wastes no time grabbing the listener, using thunderous pounding drum work to match up with the wriggling bits of discordant guitar noise. While the vocal entry offers up a soft underbelly, the tune still drives forward with such power that there’s nothing to do but brace yourself for wave after wave of smashing rock n’ roll. I also am quite appreciative of the fact they’re not trying to cleverly disguise their sound, just coming out with guitars and drums ablaze. Moths Strapped to Each Other’s Backs will be out on April 11 via Julia’s War.

Lawn Chair Return with Fancy New Single

Leave a comment

You’re going to want to crank this one up, as German posse Lawn Chair are delivering a hook-laden rocker. In no time, you’re thrust in into a a circle pit, spinning you about before the band pull back to let the sharpness of the vocals take over. Claudia’s delivery is definitely a winner here, clever and pointe, riding on the rhythmic pulse that’s luring beneath the surface of the song. There’s a bit of melody when they move into the chorus, but the group still keeps things on a knife’s edge, so if you’re not punch dancing in your room right now, please consult a doctor. Hopefully we hear more from the group real quick, as I just can’t get enough.
