Brazen Pop Ditty from Tacocat

Leave a comment

Yes, the music is as playful as the band name, and that’s not a bad thing at all.  The Seattle quartet, Tacocat, has recently signed on with Hardly Art Records to release the Take Me To Your Dealer EP, which will actually be squeezed into the 7″ format; it will be available to the masses on March 13th, so be ready to pick your limited edition copy up at your local record store.  It’s no surprise that the band has shared the stage with the likes of Best Coast and Vivian Girls, since their sound definitely falls into that category, although you’ll find that this group’s approach is one that’s a bit more polished–void of the extensive atmospheric reverb and distortion.  You’ll like it, promise.

Amazing New Track from So Many Wizards

5 comments

We first discussed So Many Wizards back in 2011, when the project was just getting started, but I’m happy to report the band has grown and blossomed into something spectacular.  The LA acts is slated to have an album, Warm Nothing, arrive later this year, and if it’s filled with tracks like this, then it’s going to take over the whole Internet.  For me, there’s a resemblance of what you would expect the Shins to sound like if James Mercer still kicked it old school, draping careful melodies across light instrumentation.  Come on, you can’t tell me this track doesn’t make you happy.

Exciting New Jam from La Sera

Leave a comment

Sure, I’m a day late on this little jam, but I just couldn’t help myself. It’s hard enough to dislike La Sera and Katy Goodman for her striking beauty, but when she’s rocking such incredible jams as this one, the world is her oyster.  Her newest album, Sees the Light, comes out on March 24th on the most excellent Hardly Art, and it’s shaping up to be quite a delight for all parties involved.  This jam is brief, poppy, and Goodman sounds as confident as ever–as she should be with tracks like this at her disposal. If you haven’t heard this yet, get to it!

More New Music from Cats on Fire!

Leave a comment

Cats on Fire have to be my favorite Finnish group, though there have been some great ones of late.  Their first record Our Temperance Movement played on my record player for a solid year, and this new effort All Blackshirts to Me will is shaping up to be one of my favorites in 2012. It’s slated to be released by our friends at Soliti Music and Matinee Recordings, with the overseas release date stated as March 28th. On this new jam, it starts off with just a bit of trickling pop vocals, then it reaches this pinnacle, which honestly has me spinning around my room in absolute glee. Definitely can’t get enough from these guys, can you?

More New Music From Crushed Stars

As previously reported, Crushed Stars has a new LP entitled The Bright Rain due out March 6th on Simulacra Records.  I’ve already received an advance copy of the album and have been thoroughly enjoying the superb songwriting and simple yet still mesmerizing vocals.  Prior to that release date next month, here’s another new song to tide you over “Window”.  I hope you see where I’m coming from.

New Music From Cribs

Leave a comment

English rockers The Cribs just shared this new jammin’ tune “Chi-Town” with the internet world yesterday.  It’s a fairly no nonsense old school rock and roll song that doesn’t mess about.  Fans of the band should looks toward May 8th when Cribs will release their new album Bull on Wichita Records.  Ya dig?

Brand New Jam from FIDLAR

Leave a comment

I first wrote about LA’s FIDLAR back in May of last year, so I was really excited to find a new track in ye olde inbox today.  Apparently, the band’s got another 7″ planned for March 13th, and we’ve got the one of the tracks for your listening pleasure.  This jam definitely finds them treading the same water as their bretheren in bands liks Jeff the Brotherhood, but you can definitely here a bit of the Cali touch in the way the vocals come across.  If you need a track to blast on a nice sunny day, then you better get this song and turn it up loud, as that’s the only way to rock!

Coutnry-Fied Jam from Juston Stens

Leave a comment

Juston Stens used to spend his time playing drums for Dr. Dog, but he’s since parted ways with the band.  As all musicians tend to do, he’s found his voice, and is going to release his own solo album, titled Trash or Treasure on Mach 6th.  I like his approach here, at least on the single we just got, as it’s not necessarily that barroom off-kilter folk jangle of his ex-project–that’s grown a bit old, sadly.  This tune’s got a more true country vibe, though not free of that pop element by any means.  It’ll be interesting to see how it all unfolds as Juston walks that new road.

New Music from the Wave Pictures

Leave a comment

One of the acts I’ve really grown to love as of late is The Wave Pictures, who released the excellent Beer in the Breakers LP last year. Already the group has another album ready to turn around and release, again coming your way via the folks over at Moshi Moshi.  Said album, Little Black Cars, will be hitting the streets on April 2nd, but for now, they’ve also just released the single for Eskimo Kiss, which is a pretty sweet jam in itself.  There’s a little bit more of a punk swagger to the jagged high-stepping of this song–all good things in our book. Give this song a little try, and keep an eye out as the band makes its way stateside in the Spring.

New Music From The Sour Notes

One comment

Man it seems like it’s been a hot minute since we posted a new tune from local ATH favorite band The Sour Notes.  We were big fans of their recent record Last Looks, as it appeared on our year end Texas albums list, so we try to make a point to post their music when it’s sent our way.  This new song “Two Hands Wait” appears on a new split 7″ the band just put out with fellow local band Marmalakes.  Enjoy.
