Chilled Out Tune from The Ocean Party

Leave a comment

You’ve heard me rave about Velcro for a few months now, but the members working on that project also dabble in another great group called The Ocean Party.  Curtis, a member of both groups, reached out to us with the band’s latest single, In A Knot.  It’s a mellowed out four song-single, which the band are currently offering up for free download, though you can purchase the single via CD. It’s precisely the chilled out pop music I’ve come to expect from the heavy-hitters in Australia featuring gently gliding guitar lines, cool melodies and real world lyrics. You can expect a full-length titled Social Clubs to come from the band in October, but for now, enjoy this gem.

Great New Track from Tame Impala

Leave a comment

You’d think that I would have been head over heals for Tame Impala when they first released their album Innerspeaker; the band is from Australia and they make sort of an avant-pop sound.  But, I didn’t warm to them immediately for some reason or another, but as you’ll see with this new track from their forthcoming Lonersim, it’s becoming increasingly clear that the group is on top of their game.  I love the wash of the vocals atop the instruments, and the breakdown near the middle of the track sees the group breaking up the monotony of the typical formula.  I’m definitely on board this time; you can pick up the record in October from Modular.

Indian Wells goes Borg-McEnroe

Leave a comment

Indian Wells has a track up to download that prominently features sampled sounds of the 1980 Wimbledon Tennis Tournament. I assume 1980 because the name of the track is “Wimbledon 1980”. It takes a bit to get used to the samples, but once the textured and layered soundscape takes over, the song puts out a cooling ambient atmosphere.

While “Wimbledon 1980” gets the interesting song of the day award, I want to feature a favorite song from the Bad Panda released Night Drops. The track maintains the tennis theme in name.

Stream “Duece” below and hit this link to listen to and download “Wimbledon 1980”.

New Folk Jam From The Shape Of The Earth

Leave a comment

Just heard about this band The Shape of the Earth and have rather enjoyed the intense folk jams created by the Cali based outfit.  Their music at times kind of reminds of the louder songs created by Death Cab For Cutie back in their glory days.  The jam below “Telescope Eyes” appears on the band’s new LP Fire, Then Rain which is out now and currently streaming for free over on bandcamp.  Enjoy the tuneage.

New Electro Jam From Exray’s

Leave a comment

I’m recovering from a Fourth of July hangover so overly loud music just isn’t doing it for me today.  This new song “Yellow Light” from San Francisco based Exray’s is hitting the spot this morning.  It’s a tune that falls into the chillwave genre with it’s easy beats and relaxed feel throughout the mix.  Almost reminds me of Gorillaz at times.

A brand new album from Exray’s, Trust a Robot, is currently streaming for free over on bandcamp.

New Pop Star Tune From Gentleman Reg

Leave a comment

Gentleman Reg is the kind of guy that could easily be labeled an indie pop star. His style is completely over the top, he creates catchy pop tunes, and he seems to take himself entirely too seriously. Check, check, and check. The new song I’ve got for you below called “Waiting Around For Gold” is the latest single from the pop hit maker and features the eccentric sound fans have always enjoyed from Reg. This new song appears on the first of 3 EPs planned for this year entitled Leisure Life Vol.1 which is out as of yesterday. A full LP collecting the 3 EPs and some additional material will be out later this fall on Arts & Crafts.

New Groove from Linfinity

Leave a comment

Had this one sent over last night. Linfinity is out of New York and their latest EP Red Nation Waltz has some serious production credentials; Kevin McMahon who worked with Real Estate and Swans and Matt Boynton who pwned MGMT and Kurt Vile. Dylan Von Wagner’s vocal has a crazy warble to it, kind of like Tricky singing a lullaby, but the groove put down encourages head-nodding.

Click here to download the full EP and check out some video action, listen to and then download the track “Miles” below for immediate gratification.

New Music From Future Twin

Leave a comment

This new single “Lockits” from San Francisco based Future Twin popped up on RCRD LBL yesterday and I’m deeming it worthy to share with the ATH readers.  It’s a fast paced punk rock tune with some in your face female vocals that compliment that track nicely.  A new LP will be coming from the group entitled Future Twin Delux Edition on July 31st.  The album combines several prior releases from the band all in one handy dandy place.

New Slow Rocker From Zulu Pearls

Leave a comment

Zulu Pearls is a project manned by Zach Van Hoozer who currently resides in Berlin by way of Washington D.C.  It’s funny when reading about this guy who made way to Germany to create his own brand of lo-fi rock n roll that can’t possibly fit in with the scene abroad.  Maybe it does?  Either way, the sound is very reminiscent of something that might be popular stateside, especially in the ATX.  The tune we’ve got to preview the band’s material is called “Magic Tricks” and can be found for stream/download below.  Keep you eyes and ears pealed this fall for an upcoming full length.

New Southern Punk From Natural Child

Leave a comment

Nashville southern punk rockers Natural Child have been favorites of the crew around the ATH offices since the release of their LP For The Love of the Game earlier this year.  Well now the band already has new album details coming our way today with news of second LP this year Hard In Heaven coming out way September 11th on Burger Records.  A preview of the new album can be found below in the form of new single “B$ig P$mpin”.  It’s just what you’d expect from the band, fast and furious indie punk with a touch of their native state’s souther rock.
