Hayes Noble Readies Never Blue

Leave a comment

If you miss the innocence of the early Alex G albums, or maybe just the joy of finding a young artist finding their way, then this is the right place to be; you’ll love the earnest sincerity in Hayes Noble‘s latest performance. Where. you hear like-minded artists filling the space with ambiance and reverb on the vocals, there’s this bright clarity that permeates your room as you turn the knob to get a closer listen. The textured keys do a wonderful job lifting the voice to your ear, and as you hear those guitar lines operating, you’ll find yourself yearning for the promise that’s present in Noble’s songs; look for Never Blue on October 17th.

Bleak Streak Share Dork Shadows

Leave a comment

If you haven’t caught wind of Bleak Streak‘s brand new ripper, let me be the first to encourage you to find turn it up as quickly as you can. They’re bringing that sort of disaffected punk back in fashion, rushing their new tune forward with furious drum work and rapidly jangling guitar lines; those guitars hang just on the cusp of punk, allowing the vocals to kind of bring in the vibe. Speaking of the vocals, they seem a touch distant, like they’ve been recorded in an echo chamber, but it suits the style, operating back and forth between male/female vocalists in a style that’s super familiar. Hopefully they’re ready to crank out more in the near future.

Last Week’s Jams (8.26 – 8.31)

Leave a comment

Stella is getting her groove back, or at least I am. Managed to get my feet underneath me a little bit this past week, so we’ve got a pretty decent amount of tracks to represent. Threw out a couple of premieres for the homies at Feel It Records, with new No Peeling and Fan Club dropping this week. Turned around and dropped some Austin love for Skloss and Whisper too, which is always a goal. Really enjoyed my own introduction to the tragic story of Stroik, with a powerful tune you should put on your radar. Nice to see some favorites on the dial too like Sharp Pins and Frog. But man, this Happy Dust Gang tune in here is just my jam!

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.

Skloss Share Veto Powder

Leave a comment

After dropping The Pattern Speaks, Skloss are back at it this year with a brand new single, bringing their thunderous brand of psychedelia to the masses. Sandy’s heavy guitar wailing continuously builds this massive wave of noise that shatters the cones in your speakers, but it only works with Karen’s drum work. Every song they play, she’s banging those drums like its the last set on Earth and she’s determined to break it into pieces. They offer some heavily affected vocals this round, bringing in a bit of that sort of interstellar-psych mood into the picture. They’re currently over in the UK hitting a few shows, then they come back to win over audiences at Levitation!

Another Single from Jouska

Leave a comment

Feels like perhaps we’re best suited to begin our day reveling in the joys of the Norwegian craft, so we return to Jouska, who just put out another single from How Did I Wind Up Here. I’ve really enjoyed listening to the contrast of the sound’s here; the strum feels as if its just traipsing along, lightly present but eager to just hide. With the vocals, there’s a bit more pop to contrast with the feel, which works leading up to a brief little burst and bubble of emphasis, only to retreat back within itself. A feathered pop ballad filled with a majestic quality that you’ll surely appreciate; look for the new LP on October 17th.

Veps Share New Music

Leave a comment

Wanted to jump into Friday with a little bit of a light spirit, so this track from Norwegian outfit Veps seems like it built for opening up our Friday jam session. This single is a shout out to being totally and madly in love, so much so that you’re willing to throw caution to the wind. Musically, the spirit abides by that, sort of embracing a kind of post garage rock sound, embedded with deep roots in pop structures. Sort of akin to what the Beths have been doing on their recent work, holding onto the joy of the moment…all of it tethered to the thematic statement. This tune comes with news that they’ve signed on to work with PNKSLM, so this is their first single with the label!

Frog Announce The Count

Leave a comment

If you have not joined the growing mass of fans following Frog, then today is hopefully the day that the project turns your head. They’re a prolific outfit operating out of New York, and as of now, remain an undefined outfit. Are they indie rock? Is it art rock? Where are they headed? That’s the mystery, and we’re the recipients of their continuous exploration of the confines of pop music. This new single operates with a heavy bit of keys as the backbone, throwing a falsetto that nears classic R&B pipes roaming free atop the skeletal set of pulsing beats and rhythm. It’s a new jam for the masses, a final Dracula themed masterpiece titled The Count, which drops on September 19th.

Fan Club Share Roach Motel

Leave a comment

There’s no pussyfooting around today, as Fan Club (formerly known as Lysol) aims to throw us right into the mix with this furious pummeling of punk and noise. The guitar shreds through your speakers in an instant, with drums smashing as if they’re propelled by some robotic madman, thundering through your speakers at breakneck speed. Guitars skitter and knife through, letting the drums run rampant as Noah Earl Fowler embarks on a stalking of the listener, walking the line between growling at them through the microphone and encouraging them to circle up and march along with him. In under a minute they hurl through the wall, smashing everything with a furious seduction by noise. Look for their new Stimulation EP via Feel It Records on September 5th.

Pynch Share How You Love Someone

Leave a comment

The guitar work in this track will be what draws you in, but what will make you fall in love with this new Pynch track is the way they execute the chorus; it’s a brilliant moment that makes every second of the tune worth cranking up. Light ringing jangles seduce you, but when the line of “how you love someone” rains upon you, the emotional impact creates this sublime moment that has you recognizing the promise of their forthcoming effort, Beautiful Noise. I also really appreciate the way the latter half of the tune opens up with some synthesized stretches of pop, highlighting the hook and driving it into the brain of the listener. Chillburn Records will release the album on October 3rd.
