Beach Baby Roll Out Another Hit

Leave a comment

12469656_994839330587440_4474050032905112984_oI’m fairly confident that we’ve posted almost every single track that U.K.’s Beach Baby have shared with the world since they started making waves early last year. Luckily, they just keep turning out sleek twangy rock hits, and “Lost Soul” is the newest in this growing collection. Itcenters around the distinct power pop guitars that drive through the song, and the playful vocals mix things up. We can’t get enough of this band, and hopefully we’ll be hearing more from them soon.

Strong Performance from Kwesi Foraes

Leave a comment

kwesiThis is such a soulful ballad, seemingly informed by the life and times of a troubadour; it’s got elements of blues and folk, sure, but you can hear the road weariness in the vocal performance of Kwesi Foraes. But, what really sells the track is not solely Kwesi’s performance, but the production elements added on, such as the strings, that really elevate this track to next level. Don’t think a single person will be able to find anything wrong with this tune. Keep an eye out for his debut EP, which should be coming our way very very soon.

Boyfriends Drop New Single

Leave a comment

boyfriendsThis is Boyfriends, not Boyfriendz. This is Seattle rock n’ roll at its greatest pinnacle. Creativity and catchiness, propelled by a band sending out a message to the masses in everything they do. Of course, it has to be fitting that they’ll be touring soon with their like-minded friends Tacocat. You want an energetic bouncer to kick off your Monday in a spastic manner? Dig into this track, and then keep an eye out for their new 7″ later on this month via Gold Van Records.

Power Pop from The Person & The People

Leave a comment

thepersonandthepeopleAlliteration aside, I think I found my jam of the week, well, one of them anyways. This brand new track from The Person & The People came in via a friend yesterday, and I couldn’t think of a better way to head towards the weekend. If you’re like me, you’ll likely hear remnants of the landscape left by Teenage Fanclub. There’s warmth in the guitar sound, solid vocal harmony and it turns corners at just the right spots; it’s spot on perfect. This is the first single from the band’s new record, Dark and Low, which will be released by Land Ski Records on April 22nd.

New Single from Vow

Leave a comment

vowAnother week, and another track from rising label, The Native Sound: Vow’s “Green Light”. Musically, Vow often times resembles the construction of Beach House, though they seem to have polished off those atmospheric edges in favor or more direct contact with the listener; there’s an immediacy that comes with the delivery of of Julia’s powerful voice. It even takes a nice turn in the latter half of the song that recalls the early days of Metric. Ultimately, it leaves you with this soaring bit of indie rock that you’ll spin time and time again. Look for the band’s debut LP, Kind Eyes on May 27th.

Intimate Number from Roman Lakes

Leave a comment

romanlakesI’m always looking to cover the work of Bleeding Gold Records; they have an admirable roster and a unique style of releases. This week they’ve just put up a new digital single from Roman Lakes (NYOP). It’s vocals and picking, with a slight extra here and there from slide guitar in the distance. Listening, you’ll feel as if you’re there for the recording, almost hearing the buzz on the microphone in the final product. Go grab it from the label, and feel free to donate a dollar or three to the art/music world and its continued longevity.

New Pop from The Hairs

Leave a comment

thehairsI’m surprised that this new track from The Hairs isn’t getting more traction. This is the sort of literary pop music that people pine for, but maybe that’s just in my small circle of friends. Regardless, The Hairs combine these vocal hooks that wrap around this excellent songwriting, churning out infectiousness that will resonate on your stereo forever. They’re also one of the many great acts that’s going to be playing at the excellently curated NYC Popfest in a few weeks. Look for the group’s new album, While, I Hated Life, Barbarian, which will be released by Old Flame Records on June 24th.

Fresh Moonface and Siinai!

Leave a comment

unnamed-37You can bet that anything that Spencer Krug touches is going to be pretty damn good, so I’m excited to share with you today that Moonface and Siinai have announced a new album and shared a single from said album. The track is called “Risto’s Riff,” and it’s a flurry of driving progressive rock with Krug’s twangy vocals at the center of the mix. While the track sprawls, with its grungey guitars and constant, cymbal crashing and steady percussion, the chorus reels it back in and keeps you jamming right alongside the group. Make sure you take a listen and thatMy Best Human Face, which will be released on June 3rd viaJagjaguwar,is on your radar.

Crisp Indie Rock From Decorations

Leave a comment

10371487_858375374237169_1733730842081193402_nEveryone needs a little bit of breezy indie rock every once and a while to keep things light and jamming. Today, that source of lightness comes from the radio-ready, anthemic track called “Promise” from LA’s Decorations. It’s got everything you need for a sunny spring day; clean electric guitar sounds that flood the mix with brightness, while a bit of piano balances out the furious guitar and driving percussion. This song is fun and free, with catchy chorus’ to keep your Thursday light. Take a listen.

Song Premiere: Apartment 3

Leave a comment

Apartment3stooppicbetterJust the other day, Burlington, VT based Apartment 3 reached out to me in hopes we’d premiere their latest single here on ATH. After you hit play on this new track “Winter is Over”, I’m sure you’ll immediately see why I jumped at the chance. At its core, this is a garage rock tune with some elements of psych rock and penetrating vocals unlike other typical bands from the genre. I’m sure many of you out there can agree that this is clearly a talented band that we all need to start paying attention to. Better start now before they hit it big.
