More New Music From The Dig

Leave a comment

dig-photo-1New York based group The Dig just released their stellar new EP Tired Hearts today (available for purchase on their website). To celebrate the release of the new extended play, the band are offering up this new track “Over you Again” via their soundcloud page. It’s a similar sort of slow burning tune with hushed vocals that can slowly build into a nice climax during the chorus complete with distorted guitars over it all. If you’re into it, say thanks to the boys buy buying a copy of the new EP.

New Mellow Jam From Cloud Control

Leave a comment

cloudcontrolAussie group Cloud Control is a band we have close ties to here at ATH since they played one our SXSW parties a few years ago. Today the band has sent along this new track called “Dojo Rising” which is the first we’ve heard from the group since the release of their great indie pop record Bliss Release in 2011. The track shows a sense of growing up a bit and maturing their sound with an added hint of electronic synths in place of the familiar jangly pop guitars. I dig the stylistic change as it makes the band a bit more enticing and versatile as the move forward creatively.

New album Dream Cave will be coming stateside on September 17th via Votiv.

A Make It Through Your Afternoon Mix

Leave a comment

Ian Orth is a busy guy these days. Spinning as one half of Learning Secrets, leading the band Orthy and putting together some sweet mixes in his spare time. Hell, he was even recently featured in Tribeza Magazine.

So, I introduce to you one of his recently shared mixes. It was for El Paso’s Late Night Social Club. There be smooth beats here and you can download it. Ian has a knack for picking the remixes that don’t suck and making them work together, so nod your head through the rest of your workday and download it for your weekend.

Anyone have a set of lungs I could borrow?

Gentle Folk from Horse’s Ha

Leave a comment

HorsesHa_OuterjacketFeel like I need to cleanse myself from the rock n’ roll after spending my weekend at Chaos in Tejas, so this new track from Horse’s Ha is perfect.  I really love how the song opens up with the female vocals from Janet Bean atop the intricate guitar work, but then James Elkington makes his entrance, dropping a deeper vocal; the additional musical accompaniment just puts a cherry on top of it all, including the nice backing vocal. The group will be releasing their new record, Waterdown, on August 20th via Fluff and Gravy Records.

Rad Rock from The Memories

Leave a comment

347I’ve been jamming to the Memories for a good bit of time, but this new tune is really unexpected, in a good way.  Personally, I like the humor in this track, which isn’t entirely new, yet the overall attitude of the track is much more relaxed.  Of course, I can also relate to all those girls who don’t speak Spanish; it’s a big deal for RayRay and myself.  The group’s got a new record coming out on Burger Records; it’s titled Love is the Law and it will see a release date of July 23rd.  Just another great installment in this group’s growing career.

New Music from Scraper

Leave a comment

scraperSeeing as there’s tons of punk rock all over town due to Chaos in Tejas, I think it’s only fitting that I put up some new rock n’ roll by Scraper.  The group has just signed on to release their debut 7″ on God?, which is the baby brother of Drag City.  It’s a fast paced jam, filled with discordant guitars, shouted lyrics and an old school bravado that I’ll always appreciate.   You want to unleash some pent up aggression? You’re not going to find a better track than this tune.

Hushed Pop From Part Time

Leave a comment

84f39a9e97e1ed15cfe30f53aecfc93aMexican Summer is a label, though they might pigeonhole themselves a bit, pump out some great subdued/bedroom pop music on a regular basis.  This new track “I Won’t Be Your Little Secret” from Part Time is no different, as it features washed out guitars, hushed vocals, and slow and steady beat throughout.  Part Time are back later this year with new album PDA coming your way on July 9th via the aforementioned Mexican Summer label.

Enjoy New Music by The Sweets

Leave a comment

thesweetsIf there’s a harder working band out there, then I’d like to meet them.  The Sweets have just put out their 8th EP/Single of the last year (Some Pulp being my favorite), and these three new songs are definitely worth your time today.  At first, it seems like the band might jump off into sunny-pop, but they hold themselves back, letting the song unfold with a soothing vocal effect that floats in the distance.  There’s a few verses, and those are treated equally as gently.  If you like what you hear, then you can head HERE to grab the new EP from Bleeding Gold Records, who continue to amaze us with their consistency.

Power Pop Fun with Wyatt Blair

Leave a comment

wyattblairOne of the great things about hitting up a show is discovering an act you knew little about, which happened to me recently when I stumbled into the power-pop delight that is Wyatt Blair while hanging at Hotel Vegas. The band’s set was lively and quick, giving the audience enough time to sink our teeth’s into the tunes, yet wanting more.  So I got more when I picked up the new album, Banana Cream Dream, and I’ve been rocking it ever since.  The record’s filled with tunes that combine ballsy garage rock with sugary pop, which just happens to be my favorite kind. Give it a listen!
