New Electro Pop From Post War Years

Leave a comment

This new catchy tune “Glass House” from UK kids Post War Years has perked up my ears this morning.  Something about it just scream British electro-pop in the same vein as ATH favorite Foals.  If nothing else, it’s got a great backing beat that might get a party started in the office.  Stay tuned for the release of the new EP from Post War Years, Glass House, which is due out July 23rd on Chess Club Records.

New Track from Delay Trees (Sign to Soliti)

Leave a comment

One of our favorite little labels, Soliti Music, just grabbed a hold of this band, and I couldn’t be more excited.  Delay Trees will release their new album in the Autumn, but for now they’ve given us this beautiful sprawling track of pop gold.  It builds slowly through the first minute or so, but as the pace of the song picks up, you find yourself whisked away by the creativity and dynamics of the group.  We’ll keep you posted as more details come our way, but for now, allow yourself a little time to get lost with this song.

More New Music From Beat Radio

Leave a comment

Beat Radio is a band that I really got into around this time last year with their surprising pop tune “Golden Age”.  They continued my fandom with the release of their EP earlier this year Hard Times Go Pt.1.  Well not it’s time for part two of the Hard Times Go series and I’m posting a preview of that effort with this new song “Days Like Diamonds”.  It’s a bit more of a downtrodden pop tune than what I’m used to from the band, but I dig the more raw feel it brings.  You can stream the entire new EP from Beat Radio over on bandcamp.

New Country Twang Jam From Denver

Leave a comment

Having seen Austin band Crooks this past weekend at White Horse made me realize that country is a genre that seems to allude ATH.  Granted, it seems like talent in the genre is bleak and it’s even harder to seek out the quality when most labels we associate with don’t touch country.  So it’s nice when we’re sent songs like this tune “The Way it Is” from Portland based act Denver (yeah that’s not confusing).  Now this band with a city name is actually more of a supergroup featuring members of Blitzen Trapper and Alela Diane’s Wild Divine.  What’s created by this hodge podge of Portland musicians is a slow honky tonk sound with alternating vocals not far from aforementioned locals Crooks.  A full self-titled LP from the group is due out August 12th in all your favorite formats.

Killer Rocker from Milk Music

Leave a comment

Admittedly, I’ve been feeling the effects of the heat, holing up in my room jamming to some folk tunes for the summer.  But, that’s all about to change with this excellent Milk Music track I just got sent in the mail today.  This new jam is just a solid rocker from the Washington rockers, but it comes with the announcement that the group’s long time sold out Beyond Living EP is now up on iTunes, so it’s available to you all.  The group’s about to embark on a nice little jaunt, and then we expect them to have more music to bowl us over.

Great Mellow Jam from Pure Bathing Culture

Leave a comment

I’m pretty sure you’re all going to love this track; there’s really nothing as strikingly wonderful as this track from Pure Bathing Culture.  It’s such a subtle pop track, with the instrumentation turned down low so the vocals can reach perfection by the time they hit your ears.  You can find this track on the group’s debut self-titled EP, which just came out via the good people over at Father Daughter Records.  Come on, one listen just isn’t enough, you’re going to have to play this song over and over again.  I don’t know about you, but that pretty sums the track up as a certified hit.

Another Gem from Arc in Round

Leave a comment

In late April I brought you one of the tunes off of Arc in Round‘s self-titled album, and since the record just came out this week, we’re going to toss up another gem for you get behind. This tune is called “One-Sided,” and I love the way the guitar discordantly works in the background, fighting for space with the lofty female vocals (which have a unique echo effect).  Once again, the group’s used some great texturing to their work, creating a sound that’s definitely pop-centric, but shows the abilities of band’s that can incorporate layer upon layer to create gems such as this.

Great New Folk from Evening Hymns

One comment

I’ve been really into quieted folk tunes this summer, and this new track from Evening Hymns is one of my favorite jams to cross my path thus far.  Early on, the song comes at you as if it was recorded in a room, or a cabin (it was!), giving it a deeply emotional quality. As the song builds, there’s more lush arrangements being added, moving the song along as it sort of gets lost in its own beautiful world. If you’re digging this track, you can grab it and the rest of the tunes from the band’s forthcoming album, Spectral Dusk, when it hits the streets on August 21st.

New Rocker From Unnatural Helpers

Leave a comment

This new rocker from Unnatural Helpers goes against my better judgement to post since it’s called “Hate Your Teachers”, but it still kind of rules.  The track appears on a new album by the indie rockers called Land Grab due out September 25th via Hardly Art.  While the song may be a jam, please don’t hate your teachers kids.  We have feelings too.
