New Folk Tune from Miner

One comment

One of the great things about running this site is when bands reach out to us for help, and then we get hooked.  Just such a thing happened today when I got this email from Miner, a California group who will release their Hey Love EP in August.  While primarily the work of Justin Miner, the depth of this song featured here wouldn’t be what it is without the work of his group, adding vocal harmonies in all the right places.  If you’re looking for a group who played sun-drenched folk with a sense of longing, then you’re going to really enjoy this track; I know I’ve had it on repeat for the better part of today.

New Girl Pop from Stealing Sheep

Leave a comment

Sometimes you have to be a bit skeptical when you get the hype from overseas, but I have a feeling that Stealing Sheep are going to live up to it all. The all girl trio from Britain just released this great single as a prelude to the release of their album, Into the Diamond Sun, which will come out this September on Heavenly Recordings.  The playfulness in the vocal delivery was enough of a hook, then the rest of the girls join in creating a catchy pop stomp that won’t get out of my head.  I have this slight feeling that a lot of people are going to adore these lovely ladies.

New Tunes from Three Mile Pilot

Leave a comment

It would seem like Three Mile Pilot is the band the world forgot, but luckily the band is returning with their first effort since The Inevitable Past Is the Future Forgotten.  It’s great to see that while the group’s pushing forward with their Maps EP, they still sound remarkably like the band I always adored.  On this track, the vocals build atop each other, emphasizing the power in the song’s construction, then they pull back to effortlessly let the song unfold in a manner that obviously gave birth to bands like Pinback.  You can pick up your copy of the new five-song EP over at Temporary Residence, so get to it fool.

New Tunes from Deep Sea Arcade

Leave a comment

You know we love the Aussie’s over here at ATH, so it figures that I’d stumble upon another act from Sydney that I’d dig.  Deep Sea Arcade has a different sound than the majority of the acts I fawn over from Oceania, featuring a cleaner guitar sound and hints at nostalgic Britpop…in my ears.  I love the wash of the vocals on this track, which comes from their album, Outlands; it’s just been released in the States by Microfiche Records. If you’re looking for some sprightly tunes in the way of classic guitar rock then enjoy this track!

Hooks Galore from Bravestation

Leave a comment

It’s been pouring constantly for the better part of today, so I’ve been out and about doing some house work.  The soundtrack to my house painting and what not largely revolved around Toronto’s Bravestation.  Their sound is all over the place, but it’s like exploratory new wave, with tribal rhythms propelling the songs and bright swirling guitars present on every track.  The following track is featured on the group’s recent record, Giants & Dreamers, and the title really exemplifies the band’s sound throughout the effort.  I can see myself jamming for this for weeks to come, if only this rain would get out of my way!

Stripped Down Jam from Helvetia

Leave a comment

I’m really digging the sound of this new track from Helvetia, who’ve just signed on with Joyful Noise Recordings.  It’s got a classic 90s indie rock sound, but that doesn’t mean that it’s outdated by any means.  There’s something about the vocal delivery; it’s almost as if there’s a bit of twang or drawl hanging on every note.  As the song changes direction in towards the end, you can see that the group’s not content to settle on any one sound in particular, pushing themselves to include some sonic extensions. You can grab this tune and others on September 11th when the group releases their new record, Nothing In Rambling.

New Killer Jam From Eternal Summers

Leave a comment

We’ve already heard quite a bit of material from the new Eternal Summers LP Correct Behavior coming out on July 24th.  We posted on awesome tune “Millions” awhile back and we’ve seen several other songs posted around the interwebs on various sites.  As far as songs by this band go, I’m prepared to say that this one might just be my favorite yet.  It’s a driving rock number with an incredible pop sense about it.  Hope you enjoy it as much as me.

Brand New Beauty from The Helio Sequence

Leave a comment

There are some bands who you wonder how they’ve remained in obscurity for so long.  I know it’s been four years since The Helio Sequence last released Keep Your Eyes Ahead, but even still, that record is super solid. And now, with the band set to release Negotiations on September 11th via Sub Pop Records, you expect big things, even if no one else does.  Listening to this track, it has the marks of the current indie climate, capturing both beauty and melody simultaneously, while still maintaining the intimacy I’ve always appreciated about the group.  If there was one band more people need to love, it’s this one.  Listen in to see if you don’t agree.

New Slow Country From Aaron Embry

Leave a comment

As I sit and watch more and more rain fall on Austin, I keep churning out the slower tunes to fit my mood brought on by the weather.  This slow burner coming from singer/songwriter Aaron Embry is called “Moon of the Daylit Sky” and features a minimalistic take on song writing that’s sure to fit in with your somber rain soaked mood.  You can catch this track and nine more on the new LP from Aaron entitled Tiny Prayers out September 18th on Community Music.

New Indie Pop from Making Marks

Leave a comment

I used to love this band called My Little Pony, but now the band is down a member and going by a new name, Making Marks.  Luckily, the jangling guitars and the hooks I adored are still present in the reincarnation of the group, so indie pop fans can rest with a smile.  The new line-up will be releasing their Ticket Machine 7″ on Fika Recordings this coming October, with plans for a full length to follow in the Spring of 13′. If you like your pop with a bit of bounce and a little grin, then you’ll love this new jam.  Enjoy.
