Deary Share I Still Think About You Video

Leave a comment

There’s a new little 7″ coming your way from UK outfit Deary, and they’ve completely indulged in the dreamy status for their latest number. This one feels like you’re standing on the shore of any number of beaches across the globe, the water continuously nibbling at your toes, with cascading guitars serving as echoes of other beach-goers. Or maybe you flip it over and the track takes you into outer space, as it clearly operates in this world where floating seems entirely possible, and entirely enjoyable, just sort of drifting in this purgatory above the rest of the world. The new 7″ comes out June 27th via Sonic Cathedral.

Tape Trash Drop New Single – We Will Collide

Leave a comment

There is a deserved amount of buzz and expectations blowing overseas from Norwegian outfit Tape Trash, who return today with a brand new track from their forthcoming LP. Listening through this latest tune, you can hear why folks are excited; they sound like some of the early Pains of Being Pure at Heart records, which also has links to fuzz pop and dreamy hits from the 80s/90s. But, on their end, they seem to fully embrace the pop side of things, letting that sort of burst through the noisier underbelly of the single, erupting in the chorus with this maximized melody that sprinkles you with cool. So you get noise and cooled warmth, all of which we expect to find on their debut LP for Tiny Engines, slated for a Fall release.

SAVAK Release American Vernacular

Leave a comment

While the earlier tunes from Savak have embraced a matured indie rock ethos, they branch out into the farther reaches of the genre with their latest single. From its start, the track almost feels more atmospheric than anything, taking these spaced out sounds to sort of wash over the room before the thundering gallop of the drums sneaks into the picture. Here you get to hear the guitars spring to life, winding their way through the maze of ambient echoes, creating a path that the vocals can follow as they, too, sneak in slowly; they’re more spoken than sung, letting the brimming of the burn spring to life a little. If you dig, keep your eyes out for Squawk, which drops next week via Ernest Jenning/Peculiar Works!

Lulu Drop Tous les Etes

Leave a comment

While I admittedly find myself limited in my understanding of French, I do find that my love of good old fashioned rock n’ roll is still going strong, thus why I chose to crank this Lulu track in your ears. It’s got that satisfying staggered riff that has your feet tapping and your body bouncing up and down, ready to rock without a care in the world. They drive the pace right at you, letting you free when they drop into the group chorus, maximizing the joy and punch you’d get from a classic power-pop chorus. And, just as you think the track’s over, stay tuned for a sneaky bit of pop fun at the back side! Look for their self-titled album via Howlin Banana on June 6th.

Brood22 Share New Single

Leave a comment

While I cannot seem to find a ton of information about new Portland project, Brood22, I can assure you that dipping into the slowed magic of their sound will be worth your time today. There’s an inherent loneliness in the guitar tones, which I find absolutely magical, with slight little bends in the strings that let the notes shoot off into the night sky. That slow approach perfectly fits the vibe of the vocals, embracing the weariness of the pace and in a sense, just existing, as best they can. It’ a tough sound to describe, but fans of slow burns will surely appreciate what’s in store below.

Fresh Winter Tune + New Album

Leave a comment

I had no idea how big Winter had gotten until I clicked on the link to their new video, and lo and behold, it’s blowing up. That’s not why we’re here though, as we’ve been fans of the act for quite some time. Well, Samira is knocking it out of the park, so the love of this tune’s quite deserved; it’s got a little intro here that opens up just after the 1 minute mark, if you’re looking to skip right to the sugar. I am a huge fan of the way she walks this tightrope in her songwriting, almost jangle pop, though equal parts kind of alt-rock, ready to erupt at any moment. Pair that with the sugary style of the vocals, and well, you can see why she’s blowing up. Her new album, Adult Romantix, is out in August via her new home, Winspear.

They Are Gutting a Body of Water Share American Food

Leave a comment

As a comfort eater myself, the thematic element in the new track from They Are Gutting a Body of Water is something I can relate to, as we all seek comfort and vice in our own ways. But, I also turn to music, which is where the band continue to branch into territories that push expectations and classification beyond their peers. Their guitar lines this go round are pretty simple, kind of bringing the rhythm out as this twanging piece that gets to hang in the air with all the other indie rock acts. But, behind there’s another faint guitar line, not to mention loads of sampled and digitalization in the studio that shows them fucking around completely with our modern formula. It’s brilliant to see them employing everything and not sounding at all like they’re just phoning it in! This track also comes with the announcement of their signing to ATO Records/Smoking Room/Julia’s War.

Hotline TNT Deliver Again

Leave a comment

Hey, Hotline TNT is coming into town tomorrow at ACL Live and you should definitely join me there! They open up for Hippo Campus and tickets are still available. As if they are heavily promoting the Texas dates, the NYC upstarts also just dropped this new tune called “Break Right” and I am excited for the potential to see it live tomorrow. It leans a bit more into a softer melody at first as it slowly builds into some lovely moments of classic indie rock. Beautiful song.

Hotline TNT will release this track as part of their new album Raspberry Moon which is due out June 20th via Third Man Records. Pre-orders are live now.

Wombo Announce Danger in Fives

Leave a comment

This is the news that I did not even know I needed, but my day just got better with news that Wombo have a new LP on the horizon. Their Fairy Rust LP stayed on for quite some time at my house, and this new track sees them furthering their song craft. Every note on this track seems perfectly placed, with the group employing negative space to let rhythmic notes give accent to the guitars. Sydney Chadwick’s voice is this mesmerizing power, drifting dynamically in and out of the tune, curling around ringing guitar notes like a beautiful haunt. Danger in Fives will be out August 8th via Fire Talk.

Pachyman Shares SJU Single

Leave a comment

Pachyman is going home, or at least he’s making an homage to Puerto Rico, thus the song’s reference to the San Juan Airport. I’m really looking forward to Another Place, his latest record, as it seems like he blends the sound into something really special each time a release comes our way. This little dub track takes a bit of guitar and stretches it into a vibe that just feels like the hippest strut you’ve ever seen, but at the same time, there’s this indifferent cool that lets you know the world is going to be alright. If you’re willing to take a trip into the cool waters of Pachyman, grab Another Place from ATO Records on Friday!
