Mellow Electrco Jam from Poolside

Leave a comment

It’s definitely one of those days when you want to lay out by the water and get some sun. This jam popped up on the P4K with BNM accolades, and I’m not going to lie that it’s definitely something you’re going to want to turn up today.  It’s by the Cali duo Poolside, interestingly enough, giving you directions as to where you’ll enjoy this band most.  You can find the track on the band’s upcoming album, Pacific Standard Time, which hits on July 9th via Day & Night Recordings.  It’s not beat you over the head with bass elctronica, which is exactly why I can get into it; there’s a steady throb, but ultimately a chilled out vibe. Give it a go.

New Single From Daughn Gibson

Leave a comment

We caught a shortened set by Daughn Gibson during Chaos in Tejas and I remember thinking to myself that I’d probably really like the guy if I listened to his music at home.  Nothing against the man’s live set, the whole computer based live show just really isn’t my thing.  Not to mention he was terribly booked between one rowdy punk band and a hazy pop group.  So I’m gonna show this guy some love by posting his new single “Lite Me Up” which, as I expected, is something I find a lot to like about coming through my stereo.  Obviously the voice of Gibson is what you will immediately take note of and rightfully so.  From here I plan on getting my hands on debut LP All Hell and seeing how I feel about it.  I’ll be in touch.

This tune is just a single and only available now as a stream unless you care to buy a physical copy of the 7″ it appears on via Dull Knife Recordings.

New Power Pop Jam from The White Wires

Leave a comment

Ever since the new album from The White Wires arrived in my mailbox the other day, I’ve been jamming it as loud as I can around the house.  The Canadian group has signed on with the good folks over at Dirtnap Records to release their album WWIII, which will be in stores on July 31st.  It’s exactly what you want in a power-pop record, and this song epitomizes the feel of the release, with bouncing garage rhythms and just the faintest hint of melody in the vocals.  If this doesn’t lift your spirits a little bit, then I don’t know what will.

Announcing the ATH Records Web Store

3 comments

The day is finally here! We’ve had some tweaking to the site in the work behind the scenes by our excellent partners, Paravel, and I’m here to announce the first update.  I hope you know by now that we’ve started a non-profit (aren’t they all) record label, and our first release was Literature‘s Arab Spring (partnered with Square of Opposition). It’s a great record that has gotten lots of national press, so you should definitely check it out (and buy it!).  You can purchase the album directly from us by going HERE.  There’s also a little tab on the lower right of the home page, and we’ll be updating it with all our releases.  If you prefer to get your vinyl in a non-Internet environment, it’s all over Austin at End of an Ear, Waterloo and Trailer Space. Here’s a few great tracks to stream so you know exactly what you’ll be getting. Keep an eye out for more updates on the site, and on the record label!

More Hooks from Lace Curtains

Leave a comment

Just a short while ago we brought you an awesome jangly jam from Michael Coomer’s new project, Lace Curtains, but now it’s time to unleash another hook-laden pop tune for your ears.  This time around, there’s a steadiness to the song’s development, but it’s still got that bouncy quality that Michael’s other group, Harlem, displayed.  I can’t wait to hear the entire record; it’s all going to sound this good I swear.  This new album is titled The Garden of Joy and the Well of Loneliness, and it comes out this July via Female Fantasy–something to look forward to listening to for the rest of your summer.

Dark Pop-Gaze from Seatraffic

Leave a comment

If you’re in the search for some brooding pop music, then you better press play on this new Seatraffic jam as quick as you can.  It takes almost a minute to build into the lyrics, but once the vocals come in, the dark undertones make way for the rest of the song to settle into a nice groove.  The San Francisco-based group will be releasing their latest 7″ on a limited vinyl release come August 1st, and this is the A-side for that release.  Subtle dark undertones always make for great listening, no matter what mood you find yourself in at the moment. Give a listen.

New Music From Two Gallants

Leave a comment

Here’s a new one from Two Gallants called “Broken Eyes” that I’ve been hanging on to until my mood felt right for posting.  It’s a country twanged singer-songwriter tune that features nothing but an acoustic guitar, some southern vocal harmonies, and the occasional harmonica solo.  Not sure if it’s my recent vacation or what, but the simplicity and heartfelt approach really has me in a great mood.  This new song will appear on the band’s first new LP in over 5 years entitled The Bloom and the Blight due out September 4th on ATO Records.

New Dance Jam From Wild Cub

Leave a comment

I’m really feeling this new tune called “Wild Light” from Nashville based outfit Wild Cub.  It’s a fun little song that’s a nice and bright way to get your day started.  I’m sure it will also be appearing on our next council meeting playlist (stay tuned for info on that BTW).  A debut LP from this new group Youth will be out August 14th on Big Light Recordings.

Classic Pop Track from Bart and Friends

Leave a comment

Haven’t heard about Bart and Friends yet? Well, if you follow the Australian pop scene, then surely you’re aware of bands like Lucksmiths, Zebras and Black Tambourine…all which have members in this wonderful supergroup of sorts.  Of course, it doesn’t hurt that they’re releasing their There May Come a Time EP on one of our favorite labels, Matinee Recordings. This is precisely the sort of gems the label is known for, featuring some of the best pop you’re going to hear around the globe.  This tune has Pam Berry taking the lead, backed by  a steadied hand of gorgeous pop destined to make you swoon.  Give it a listen, give it some love.

Fun Rocker from Finn Riggins

Leave a comment

I first brought you Finn Riggins earlier in the year as the group was preparing to release their Benchwarmers EP, and they’re back again with another single to get you interested.  This tune features gang vocals from the trio, bouncing rhythms and steady drumming.  I don’t know what it is about these guys, they just seem to get under my skin, in an endearing way of course. There’s even a little jam in the middle, followed by more enjoyable rock moments.  If you’re on the West, the group heads out on tour, though they unfortunately won’t be making it into Austin just yet.
