Introducing Triple Hex

Leave a comment

Those of you looking for a dark ballroom crooner are really going to have your fancies met when you listen to this track by Triple Hex.  The Brooklyn trio are garnering lots of praise for their brooding post-rock, which sort of sounds like Danzig singing with his favorite bunch of lo-fi friends in the back of some dive bar.  As of now, there’s not a whole lot else to really go on, though the word is that the band is working on an EP to come out in the very near future.  They’ll be playing some CMJ shows, and I have a feeling that they’re going to come out with a whole new set of fans.  See if you’re hip enough to dig.

More New Music From Post War Years

Leave a comment

I was a huge fan of “Glass House” from little known UK band Post War Years when I posted it a few months back.  I’d even say it might just sneak it’s way into my end of the year songs list.  Now I can’t say that this song “The Bell” is as catchy as that tune, but it should at least help build your fandom of the group.  It’s a bit more of a driving electro-pop tune that makes me want to go running outside somewhere.

This new song is part of a single release for the group coming your way on October 29th via Chess Club Records.  That one will feature this song obviously, along with some remixes and other goodies.

Gone Fishing For Choy Lin

Leave a comment

I want some waders. No idea why.

Fishing has a new 7″ featuring the track below, “Choy Lin”, with the B-side “White Sheet Beach”. This track’s smooth electronic bliss is said to be influenced by the duo’s home base of The Blue Mountains, according to the 7″ announcement. Seems like a beautiful place so it couldn’t hurt.

Preorder for the 7″ lives here.

New Music from Delay Trees

Leave a comment

I’m not sure why people aren’t taking as much notice of Soliti Music as we are here at ATH.  They’ve already released great records this year by Big Wave Riders and Cats on Fire, and I have a feeling their latest release from Delay Trees is going to be something truly special.  This new single from the band is an homage to their hometown, hitting upon the town’s beauty, yet the hopelessness of being stuck there.  I think I’m going to play this song for the next several days and never grow tired of listening to it. It’s just remarkable, and you can pick it up on the band’s new album Doze, which comes out on October 19th.

New Jam From Field Mouse

Leave a comment

We’re clearly a little late on this new jam from Field Mouse so let’s just get that out of the way and move about our business.  The new song at hand is called “How Do You Know” and is a nice little number that fits into the shoe gaze pop genre.  Sultry vocals here from lovely lady Rachel Browne are what really intrigue me about the track and help it to stand out from others in the genre.  This sweet new jam is available on a 7″ single coming your way from Lefse Records on October 16th.  Pre-Order here.

More New Jams from Plateaus

Leave a comment

We’ve been raving about Plateaus all summer long, and it looks like the rest of the world is finally catching up to our impeccable tastes (I’m looking at you P4K).  They’ve put out a slew of punk/power-pop 7″s recently, and they’re about ready to bust out their self-titled debut for Art Fag Recordings.  This new single is just what I love in the group; it’s short and sweet, and catchy as hell.  These are the sorts of songs I dreamed about as a kid, so it’s great to see that all our electronic progression hasn’t gotten in the way of good old rock n’ roll.

New Dark Jam from Black Marble

Leave a comment

If the first few singles are any indication of what Black Marble have up their sleeve, then their new release, A Different Arrangement.  For me, this newest single, “Static,” has the feeling of a more approachable Blank Dogs track.  It’s got this underlying darkness being portrayed by the electronic element, but the overall feeling is definitely one that leans more towards pop.  You’re going to need to pick this record up the day it comes out, just to show your friends how good your tastes really are. You can pick the album up on October 6th from our dear friends over at Hardly Art Records.

Up, Down and Up Jam from Fantasy Rainbow

Leave a comment

Met The folks at Heist or Hit Records a few years back during SxSW through a mutual friend. Good people.

Saw on Bookface that one of their acts, nineteen year old Oliver Cat doing the music thing as Fantasy Rainbow, has a song up to stream via the 405’s Soundcloud. I took a listen and liked it and decided to share. The song “Condominium” will be on the album Bos Taurus, due in the UK on 10/29. Looking into US release info.

New York friends, he’ll be at CMJ.

Austin Town Hall Presents: White Arrows @ Red 7 (9.20)

Leave a comment

Hey folks, I know Thursday is super packed with great bands in town, but if you’re going to some of the early shows, like Fiona Apple or Beach House, then afterwards you need to join us over at Red 7.  We’re stoked to be working with Transmission to present White Arrows in their glorious return to Red 7.  I am still enjoying their latest release, Dry Land Is Not a Myth, which is filled with hooks galore.  Last time we caught the band, they absolutely blew us away, giving us a stronger live show than I think any of us expected.  They’ll be joined by friends Young Buffalo to open up the evening, and with Doors @ 9 PM, you’ll have time to finish your beer and round out your night pop bliss.

Tickets – $8 from Transmission

New Electro-pop From Machine Birds

Leave a comment

Here’s a new synth heavy pop number called “If I” coming your way from Norwegian duo Machine Birds. It’s definitely not something I’d usually go for, and the Nintendo freak out in the middle is a bit much, but something about it is hitting home with me today.  The vocals play nicely off the ear pleasing beats in the background and create this nice meld of vocal with synth.  The duo have a new EP entitled Save Yourself coming out in the U.S. on September 24th.
