New Music and Free Album from Treefort

Leave a comment

Madison’s always had a vibrant music scene, and it appears there’s a new band coming out of the scene that I expect to make some waves.  Treefort is the name of the group, and they’ve just released Tres Fort.  On the opening track, which we’ve got below, the track opens with cascading guitars; I dig the bright guitar beneath the fuzzed out riffs.  It’s a bit like a shoe gaze track, but there’s more of a concise pop element to it.  The band just released this record for free on their site, but you can also help the group out by purchasing a cassette from them for super cheap.  Hope you dig it.

Stream New Jam from White Arrows

Leave a comment

Just a few weeks ago, I was really impressed by White Arrows at SXSW, so now that they’ve got a single floating about, it’s time that we share that with you.  This track is just as vibrant as I remember when I heard it live, although I think the recorded material has a bit more of an electronic touch then the live performance.  Regardless, you can’t just listen to this song once; it’s laden with hooks galore.  There’s that tribal percussive element and even a mellow little breakdown near the end of the track.  You can find this jam and a few others on the bands upcoming Fireworks of the Sea EP, and look for a full-length later in the year.

Catchy Tune from Joywave

Leave a comment

You’ve gotta kick the week off right, right? That’s what I was thinking, so I went and decided to post this upbeat number from Joywave.  The group is about to release their Koda Vista EP.  If this track below is any indication, this is definitely going to be the party record when all Spring takes over.  At first, the track seems to throw everything into the song, filling it with bombastic sounds, yet during the chorus you’ll definitely find a nice vibe that comes across in a very clean manner.  Just give this one a try, and I have a feeling you’ll be picking up the album from the group soon.

Beautiful Pop from Lightships (Gerard of Teenage Fanclub)

Leave a comment

If you’re a fan of 90s indie pop/rock, what have you, then you’re surely geeking out already about Lightships, the new project from Gerard Love of Teenage Fanclub.  The line-up includes members from TF (past and present) as well as Belle and Sebastian and the Pastels; that alone is enough to make anyone swoon.  Lightships will be releasing Electric Cables on April 2nd, but they just dropped off this wonderful new single this week. It’s exactly what I expected it to sound like: beautiful.  I cannot wait to get my hands on this one.

New Mellow Tune From JBM

Leave a comment

It’s taken me some time to come around to the stylings of Jesse Merchant, a.k.a JBM, but I think his new record Stray Ashes has turned me into a permanent fan.  The subtle songwriting approach from JBM isn’t going to make you want to jump and dance so don’t come here looking for that.  No, these tunes are going to make you stop, take a long listen, and really appreciate the subtleties of each song.  It’s a contemplative album that continues to get more intriguing with each passing listen.  Keep your eyes peeled for the May 22nd release date on Western Vinyl.  Until then, we have this beautiful new song “Winter Ghosts” for you to enjoy below.  While you’re at it, check out new song “Only Now” over at Paste for even more greatness.

Catchy New Jam from Reptar

Leave a comment

We’ve been all about Reptar for quite some time, and they seem to have gained a huge fan base in a short time.  So, we’re happy to offer up another new track from their forthcoming album on Vagrant, Body Faucet, which comes out on May 1st.  As you’d expect, there’s huge hooks to get your energy flowing and your feet dancing.  You’ve gotta love this sort of track, living somewhere along the lines of a punky dance number.  This is the sort of track that huge stars are made from, so give it a chance.

Swedish Pop Punk from Terrible Feelings

Leave a comment

We’re running a very rock oriented Thursday it seems, so Sweden’s Terrible Feelings fit right in with that motif. The group recently signed on with Deranged Records to release their album, Shadows, this April.  For my ears, it’s definitely got something going on, beyond stereotypical punk/pop; there’s something in the vocal delivery that harkens back to days before punk was even born, lending itself to sort of a haunting effect.  Sweden seems to think they’re full of angst and darkness, and I see that, but over here in the States, it’s just good old fashioned rock n’ roll–the kind we love here at ATH.

New Country-Tinged Jam from Natural Child

Leave a comment

The offices over at ATH have been really crazy lately, so when we stumble across a truly fun track, we’ve got to throw it in the mix!  I’ve spent the last few days jamming to this track from Natural Child, the newest sensation out of Nashville. The group will be dropping their new LP, For the Love of the Game, on April 20th via Burger Records, just before heading out on the road with our favorite Hunx and his Punx (including an Austin date on 4/18). This almost has a bluesy-feel to it, which is no surprise coming from Tennessee, but it’s got just the right amount of garage grit to make it a stomping tune we can all get behind, right? Buen proveche.

New Music From Ty Segall & White Fence

Leave a comment

It seems that we have another super group on our hands that everyone should be pumped about in the form of ATH favorites Ty Segall & White Fence.  The guys have an album coming out as a duo on April 24th via Drag City entitled Hair.  Until then, here’s a first taste of the new collaboration with this sweet new tune “I Am Not A Game”.
