Explorative Pop Music from Say No! to Architecture

Leave a comment

allenNot too long ago we brought you news that Say No! to Architecture was going to make a musical return with their first single, “Wieder’s Floor.” But, songwriter Allen Roizman is really out to take you on a journey through this track. There’s a pulsating force that pushes the song forward, filling in some of that empty space with layered vocals…they serve almost entirely as an instrumental force in the song. It’s not your run of the mill tune, reaching over five minutes to allow you maximize enjoyment…if you happen to be into it. Look for the new self-titled LP on March 18th!

Even More Lust for Youth

Leave a comment

lustIf there’s a record that B.Gray and I are pretty excited about hearing, it has to be this upcoming Lust for Youth LP. The band has continued to grow their sound, creating some of the darkest, yet most accessible, electronic pop music around. They’ve also got a pretty intoxicating live show, which doesn’t always happen for the genre. They tossed out another single today from Compassion, so seems fitting that we stay in line with our obsession and post this new tune as well. You can hear the record when it’s released on March 18th via Sacred Bones Records. Also…check the band touring the States, including SXSW.

Electronic Hit from Howard

Leave a comment

dudesThis brand new track from Howard has some interesting history, as does the construction of their Please Recycle EP. They’ve taken bits and pieces of their debut album, and spun them into completely new tracks. I love some of the work in this newest tune, particularly some of the beats that hit hard and nod towards earlier electronic music. Vocals are sparse, but they serve as another layer, rather than a key focal point to the band’s song. Look for their new EP on March 25th via Fashion People…then go back and revisit their album Religion to see if you can hear where it all comes from.

New Music from What Moon Things

Leave a comment

WMT-WEB-RESImagine my delight when I heard this new track from What Moon Things. On their latest single, the band are taking a blend of darkwave electronic elements and putting on some dream pop touches. There’s a guitar sound that should definitely be familiar to those who follow a great deal of my posts (all 8 of you). This song celebrates the band working on the follow up to their heralded 2014 debut that won them some rave reviews from the likes of P4K and others. You can also add the group to the many that will be making their way to Austin in a few weeks for SXSW.

Can’t Not Share Another Great Track From Mirror Travel

Leave a comment

mirrortravel_hiresOk, I’ll say it: Mirror Travel is one of my favorite underrated bands to come out of Austin… even if they’ve relocated to New Mexico. With each new single they release in anticipation of their upcoming album, Cruise Deal, I get a little bit more excited to hear what they’ve got in store for us this time around. “Aasim” shows the same sort of heavy guitars and big sound that they’ve treated us to with other single, “Yesca,” but this one is a bit more of a slow jam. Make sure you listen below, catch them sometime when they’re around town for SXSW and get ready forCruise Deal, which will be out very soon on March 11th viaModern Outsider.

More From Operators

Leave a comment

unnamed-13-1At this point in his career, Dan Boeckner can really do no wrong in my mind. Regardless of how is making music or who with, he continues to churn out hit after hit. Today I’ve got another new track called “Blue Wave” under the Operators band name. As I mentioned previously, this is truly some great music that could easily rival his early work with Handsom furs. Carry on friend.

Operators will releaseBlue Waveon April 1st via Last Gang Records.

Quiet Tune from Winterpills

This is a pretty great track, and you should definitely get Winterpills on your radar. When the song really takes off, Phillip Price takes you in slowly with his voice, soon joined by his wife Flora to flesh out the number. So many harmonies, even monosyllabic ones, always encourage me to play a song on repeat. This sprawling number swells to a pop-tactic close, and should serve as a centerpiece to the band’s new album, Love Songs. That LP is being released by Signature Sounds on March 18th.

New Single & Video From Bergen

Leave a comment

12346393_1028336280551107_8372644075798823823_nFinding new artists to share with you eager awaiting fans is a bit of fun for us here at ATH and today I’ve got a new one for ya with Bergen. The duo, based between London and Padova, Italy, create an interesting new form of dream pop mixed with some darker elements of the shoe gaze genre. I highly recommend watching this entrancing video to go along with their new song “Girl” as it accompanies the tune rather nicely. This track appears on a new EP coming out soon. I will of course be sharing more information once I have it. Enjoy.

 

Fresh Music from Carter Tanton

Leave a comment

ctThis Friday you will have to rush to the record store (or online if that’s your bag) to grab a copy of Carter Tanton‘s brand new album, Jettison the Valley. Fortunately, we have another single from the album to share with you today…it’s rumored to be Carter’s favorite track on the LP. Opening percussive moments stand in like a metronome, allowing for the lofty range of Tanton’s voice to soar high in the mix, setting the tone for the track. One of my favorite things about this song, and the album as a whole, is that while many singer/songwriters rest on the tradition of voice, guitar and minimal percussion, Carter’s filling in his songs, be it backing harmonies, slide guitar or atmospheric touches; it elevates the record far beyond the norm. Look for the record this Friday courtesy of Western Vinyl.
