New Music From Jack Ladder & The Dreamlanders

Leave a comment

Just got sent this crazy good single “Cold Feet” from Australian based group Jack Ladder & The Dreamlanders and had to share it here.  It’s a tune that mixes this sort of New Wave atmospheric style with one of the deepest bass voices I’ve ever heard from Jack Ladder.  Seriously, the dude knows how to deliver with the vocals. This song and 7 others will appear on the group’s new LP Hurtsville due out July 17th on Holloweyed Records.

Great New Single from Alpaca Sports

Leave a comment

One of my favorite discoveries of the last year has been Sweden’s Alpaca Sports.  The duo creates hook-laden pop that dares you to play the songs just once; I promise you that’s not a possibility.  Lucky for all of us the group has been kind enough to let us stream their new single, “She’ll Come Back for Indian Summer,” which I sincerely hope is a Beat Happening reference.  You can get your hands on the digital single on June 20th via Luxury, and then you’ll have it on your own stereo to play over and over again.  Keep your eye on these guys, as there’ definitely going to be more gems from them coming our way soon. Also, you can check out a video for the single that just went up today by clicking HERE.

New Tunes from Apache Dropout

Leave a comment

I’m always going to give a shout out to Trouble in Mind Records; they’ve got a really diverse catalogue, but typically it all dwells in the garage rock category.  Today, this new jam dropped from Apache Dropout kicking out the rock n’ roll jams with a psychedelic twist; I tend to think more along the lines of psycho-billy, at least when I’m listening to this song.  It’s got whimsy, choppy guitars and the album artwork has a hint of ghoulishness. If you dig this track, you can get a hold of the group’s new record, Bubblegum Lemonade, soon; it hits stores on August 7th.

New Single (+ Album Stream) from The Daredevil Christopher Wright

Leave a comment

I’m absolutely loving the new record from The Daredevil Christopher Wright, a Eau Claire three-piece who’ve created an eclectic sound akin to the likes of Here We Go Magic or Fleet Foxes.  Their album combines elements of folk, group harmonies, but there’s also a slightly experimental bent–though not as much because the group wanted to focus on the songwriting on the record for performance purposes (I commend that!). If you’re sitting at work, wondering what the next record you’re going to HAVE to buy is, then you need to take a listen to The Nature of Things, which hits stores next week. You can stream it in its entirety HERE.

Warm Pop Gem from Cinderpop

Leave a comment

The single for Cinderpop’s newest album has been floating around for quite some time, but I hadn’t really given it too much of a listen until I started spinning Manic Sparkles repeatedly on my player.  It’s an album that’s chock-full of wonderful pop tunes that recall all sorts of influences, from the Lucksmiths to Sloan to Nada Surf.  These are the sorts of influences that make me swoon, so I’m happy to have re-discovered the band and their classic pop sound.  I feel like more people should be writing music like this, but if they’re not, I’ve always got great bands like this to enjoy.

Great Slow Burner from Easter

Leave a comment

Sometimes you stumble upon music that moves you emotionally, though you can’t exactly put your finger on it. That’s precisely how I felt when I put on this record from Manchester’s Easter titled Innocence Man. It’s got a casual alternative rock feeling to it, like one would find with early Mark Kozelek works. Oddly, the vocal affectation that comes along with most UK bands isn’t overwhelmingly present here, which makes it feel like it wasn’t written here in the States during my formative college years.  Here’s to hoping you enjoy this on your way to a great work week.

New(ish) Music From Sean Bones

Leave a comment

I always feel pretty stupid when I miss such great music as this Sean Bone’s tune “Hit Me Up” when it comes my way, but such is the life of a music blogger.  This new song from Sean is an excellent summer time jangly pop tune that’s sure to be on your next beach time mix tape.  We also missed out on announcing the new album from Mr. Bones entitled Buzzards Boy which is currently available for purchase over on Insound.  I personally guarantee that it will turn that frown upside down just in time for the summer heat.

Summer Pop from Orca Team

Leave a comment

I’ve heard whispers of Orca Team for sometime, and now that I’ve got some time to sit down and listen to their new release, Restraint, I think I’ve found the album that will be with me for the rest of this warm Texas summer.  Oddly, the group’s from the Northwest, but a great record is a great record, right?  It’s got a little bit of a beach party vibe, but wrapped in a nice box of pop. If you’re looking for something light-hearted, yet written really well, then you’ll probably find yourself, like me, spending an awful lot of time with this record.

New Music From Dead Leaf Echo

Leave a comment

Brooklyn based Dead Leaf Echo just sent us this new tune “Act of Truth” and I am deeming it worthy of inclusion on this here site.  It’s hard to slap a quick label on this song; one might call it similar to old school Radiohead with a shoe-gaze twist or throw it in the dream pop/new wave movement that seems to be on the up and up.  Either way, I think it’s cool.  The band is currently working on a new LP for future release and are previewing the new album with a series of singles.  This 7″ single will be a split with San Francisco band Slowness due out June 26th on Green Fuse Records.
