More New Music From Good Field

Leave a comment

Way back in January, I posted a sweet new single from local Austin boys Good Field called “These Dreams”.  I haven’t really heard much from the band until they just sent out their brand new single “Tell Me Ida” found below.  It appears on a new self-titled album from the band which is due out on February 12th.  This is a great song from one of Austin’s most promising new band.  Get with the program!

New Jam from The Black Angels

Leave a comment

blackangelsproofs-63481-Edit-239This new jam from Austin’s The Black Angels has been floating around just a little bit, but we’re just now getting a chance to post the tune for you.  Interestingly, there’s a slight change in the sound, almost having a more direct approach to the dark-tinged rock element, as opposed to their hazier past.  Clearly the band has something going, and I can only wish that rock n’ roll like this could break through to the masses.  On April 2nd the group will release their new record, Indigo Meadow, which is sure to be a new fan favorite.

Duck Duck Punch And Let Go

Leave a comment

Depeche Mode has a new album coming out. I am hopeful. What does that have to do with anything?

I heard this while trolling tunes about the intarwebs, don’t remember what playlist thing it was (sorry source people). Duck Duck Punch is a synth band out of Minnesota. As many of you know, I am a full on sucker for synth bands, especially ones that list Depeche Mode and Gary Numan as influences. Bryan Rudell and Trent Waterman just celebrated the release of Human Chemistry, of which you can get four tracks for the price of an email on their website.

…and no Nathan, that does not say Dick Dick Punch.

New Music From Aan

I’m really into this new song “Spiritual Provisions” from Portland based band Aan and wanted to share it with all you fine folks.  It has a great driving guitar of sorts throughout, with some very impressive belting vocals over a solid backing drum beat.  The song is actually a B-side off a new 7″ from the band.  If you’re into this one, they also have the A-track “Mystery Life” streaming on Soundcloud as well.  Physical copies of the record can be purchased from label Cool Summer Records on February 5th.

New Music from Slumbook

Leave a comment

495304221-1One of the little labels that I have a great deal of respect for is Dufflecoat Records, a small-time label out of the UK.  Now, they might not release tons of stuff, but they release really great dreamy pop tunes that always find their way into my daily rotation.  Their newest signing looks to be Slumbook,  a group originally formed in the Philippines.  As of right now, there’s not tons of information out there on the group, but you can’t ignore a great song can you? No info on the release date as of yet, just sit back and enjoy.  I’ll keep you posted on the rest as it comes.

Fun Pop from The ACBs

Leave a comment

1159Where the hell has this been?  I got this track off the upcoming album from The ACBs; I’ve had it on repeat ever since that point.  There’s little bits of trading off between male and female vocals, but the hooks are simply irresistible. If you turn this tune up really loud, you’re going to find yourself pressing play over and over again, and that’s not a bad thing.  You’re allowed to let yourself go from time to time, and it looks like this KC acts are poised to help you with just that. Their new album Little Leaves will be out on High Dive Records on March 5th, so get ready to enjoy yourself.

Black Books Stream Aquarena EP

Leave a comment

artworks-000031410883-zwy1vj-t500x500One of our favorite local bands Black Books just let us know that their brand new EP Aquarena is streaming for free over on their Soundcloud page.  Now we don’t usually do full album streams here on ATH, but it’s time we started, and I don’t see a better way to start than with one of the best Austin bands around.  So have yourself a listen below and let us know what you think.  We are of the opinion that it kind of rules.

New Tunes from Dead Gaze

Leave a comment

1726I didn’t really know much about Dead Gaze when I got the press release, but then again, I guess I did.  Cole Furlow, the man behind the moniker, has been rubbing elbows with the likes of Dent May and Bass Drum of Death, not to mention releasing tons of hard to find 7″ and other various rarities. Luckily for us, Palmist is going to release a compilation of all that material on May 21st as a self-titled compilation.  I have a feeling that you’re all going to enjoy the music here, as it’s readily accessible, yet artfully crafted.  Probably my favorite jam of the day.

More Sprawling Pop from Au.Ra

Leave a comment

tumblr_inline_mh5cpcBBBR1qbkaszLast year, our virtual friends over Art Is Hard Records are doing something new with their limited releases this year, a Postcard Club.  One of their first releases of the year is going to be a band that I’ve already discussed before: Au.Ra. They’re creating these pop soundscapes that meld bits of melody and ambient noise–it’s done expertly, so I can’t get enough of them.  You can read more about the Postcard Club, as well as get your hands on this limited release single over at the label’s site.

New Music From Surfer Blood

Surfer Blood

Well it’s official, Surfer Blood are finally about ready to release their new album to the masses and have some new tunes to appease the fans in the mean time.  So the band’s first taste of new material from the album comes in the form of this new track “Weird Shapes”.  It’s certainly a different type of sound from the band and I’m not sure I can quite put my finger on it yet.  You can  definitely hear a slicker production quality from the band similar to The Strokes progression to First Impressions of Earth which is sure a result of signing on to the huge Warner label.  Let us know your thoughts.
