Public Health Share F Around

Leave a comment

I am hoping that the title of this track is telling us to (F)un around, as I feel like the Fuck Around trope is a little tired. And, if you crank up this song from Public Health, you’re going to have just the right amount of fun to make today a killer one. Initially, I heard some synthetic post-punk, akin to early Blank Dogs, though I felt that came via the structured loop of the drums and dancing of the guitar lines. But, in that, I also hear how Alex Moxam makes his vibe a little different, sprinkling in the appropriate twist of melody into it, lifting the song into what can only be described as a wee bit more joyous and light. Tune in and see if you’re into it!

Sparks Share My Devotion Lyric Video

Leave a comment

Through 27 albums, Sparks have continued to provide the world with clever pop trinkets, and this year has been filled with glorious numbers from their forthcoming Mad! LP. One of the glorious aspects of their songwriting is how they can turn criticism or conversation into brilliant ditties. I mean, if you just hung onto the instrumental version of this song, you’d likely be swaying like a palm tree on shores, with a crisp breeze at your back; it’s light and fluffy and nostalgic and drenched in pop sensibility. But, the lyrics ask us to look at why we declare fandom and adoration with such extremes, or at least that’s how I’m hearing it. Figure it out for yourselves, and take pencil in Mad! for its May 23rd release via Transgressive Records.

Autocamper Announce What Do You Do All Day

Leave a comment

You likely first heard about Autocamper over here on this site, or so we hope, as we’ve been championing the band for quite some time, but today brings the bestsest news, as the group are ready to finally announce their debut LP. It’s got all the proper jangles, but the Manchester group has their own approach that feels distinctive in its own sense. In the vocal duties, which are shared throughout the new album, you get this businesslike approach, hitting these straightforward notes while the rest of the group dances around with discordant guitars and stomping drum lines, adding in a sprinkle of melodic backing vocals to boot. They’ll be dropping their debut What Do You Do All Day via Slumberland and Safe Suburban Home on July 11th.

SCHOOL Share Gardener Visualizer

Leave a comment

We’ve been jamming out to SCHOOL for a bit over here at ATH, and their debut album is on the books for a Fall release, so seems perfectly fitting that they’d have a brand new track ready for us. This go round, they’re bringing out a steadied bit of guitar pop, mostly working with the emotional appeal of the vocals and the guitars, as those are the driving force of the tune. You’ll hear some little drum hits nipping at the mix, but for the most part the softened churn of the vocals atop an angularly running guitar gives enough movement to make the track and its accompanying video work perfectly. Look for I Think My Life Has Been Ok to hit this September via Geographie.

A Place to Bury Strangers Split with the Serfs

Leave a comment

Two of my favorite acts of the last few years have gotten together to drop some rad new tunes our way, offering up a new split for Dedstrange. On one hand, you get the driving psychedelic plunge of A Place to Bury Strangers; it’s a driving rhythmic pulse that just keeps going, shooting straight while the vocals echo through the cavernous song structure. The Serfs, on the other hand, take “Time Leaks Away” jam and give it a little dub flex, stretching it out to this sexy little groove that fills the space with these little sampled horns and snappy rhythmic sway. You can stream it below.

Obligatory Stereolab Song

Leave a comment

I’m sure that they’re out there, but I can’t really think of anyone I know that dislikes Stereolab, and as we get more listens to the forthcoming Instant Hologram on Metal Film, I can’t think of a better sound that fits this stage in my life. There’s a bubbling undercurrent of pop, which we all know is a staple of their sound. But, the calmed base is what really does it for me these days; you get to kind of sit and absorb, basking in the group’s craft, which even gets a little uptick that kicks in around the 3 minute mark. They continue to impress with every step into the future they take. The new LP is out on May 23rd via Duophonic UHF Disks/Warp Records.

Provoker Share New Double A-side

Leave a comment

Los Angeles based outfit Provoker came into my musical sphere a few years ago when I happened upon a cassette version of their Dark Angel EP at a garage sale. Yep, that happened. I’ve stayed in tune with the band since then, and also made a point to catch a few of their SXSW sets in 2024. This year, the dudes have a new LP coming out on May 9th entitled Mausoleum which will feature this double single “Germaphobe” & “Tears in the Club.” Side one is a pretty expected, down temp track from the trio, but part two will certainly kick things up for your next emo dance party. Yeah, I dig it.

Pre-orders for Mausoleum are live now via YEAR0001.

Premiere: Son of Buzzi Drops Heimweg, Mondlicht am Strassenrand

Leave a comment

When music becomes more of a commodity, offering instant gratification, it loses a bit of its soul (yes, I know I’m also part of that cycle!), thus we need artists like Son of Buzzi who are willing to dig deep into the nature of songwriting and craft, purely for artistic purposes. Sebastian Bischoff’s project encompasses the ornate side of guitar history, bending and overlapping strings, then letting them melt into one another, embracing the “marriage of the impressionistic with the concrete.” The song below has these little trickles of beauty, caressing the ears with these vibrant little twists and turns, and then, even for a brief moment, the song seems to take off, grabbing pace for just a few seconds, expertly portraying the up and down movement of our lives. If you’re searching for depth in your listening experience today, click play below, then be sure to Ein Hase, Ein Phonix, Ein Schwan from Shrimper Records before the May 16th release date.

Another Fresh Emily Hines Track

Leave a comment

Back in February, we brought you news that the legendary folks over at Keeled Scales had picked up Emily Hines for their roster, and today we get to present you with a fresh taste of her forthcoming These Days LP (perhaps an ode to Jackson Browne). It’s really hard for me to decipher what I love most about this tune, as there’s so much to appreciate, despite being fairly bare-bones in its presentation. Hines’ delicate vocals are certainly a draw for me, as there’s this odd little whisper effect on some of the notes that’s chilling in the best sense. But, there’s also these perfect arrangement additions that are captivating; you’ll hear this warped ambiance swelling beneath the surface, and the drum work has the precise pacing this song needs. Be sure to grab the new album before its August 1st release date.

Sugar for the Pill Give Luv

Leave a comment

Grecian dreampop outfit Sugar for the Pill have been getting a lot of play on our side of things, and with another single dropping, we just wanted to make sure the act popped up on your radar. For branding purposes, they operate on the softer side of things, creating an ambient bend that hangs like a stage backdrop, omnipresent but pulled aside occasionally to let you peek at the little nuances. This allows the vocals to operate almost like dreamy shooting stars, sort of shooting across the front of the mix, twinkling as the notes land in your ear. A couple of singles have dropped this year, so fingers crossed for a new LP!
