New Music From The Fruit Bats

May 12, 2011 RayRay Leave a comment

Incredible indie songwriter Eric D. Johnson and his project known as Fruit Bats just announced plans for a new album entitled Tripper to be released on August 2nd via Sub Pop Records. Now this new song “WACS” won’t be appearing on the upcoming LP, but we just had to share the tasty new number with you guys. It’s a nice little jangly number with sweet reverb oohs and ahs in the background. The track also features a guest appearance by the legeneder J. Mascis.

May 11, 2011 RayRay Leave a comment

Last summer Nate dog posted about a free EP from lo-fi pop band Guards, and now we have more new music from the band. This sweet new jam is called “Hear You call” and is featured on a new EP from the band entitled Resolution of One. Word is you can get the new EP in limited 7″ format or digitally from Kitsune Records. Is it summer yet?

New Music From The Parson Red Heads

May 11, 2011 RayRay Leave a comment

A long time favorite here with the ATH crew Parson Red Heads have a new single for download called “Burning Up the Sky” to preview their new upcoming LP. This tune will appear on the band’s soon to be released album Yearling due out August 16th on Arena Rock Recording Company. It seems like the band are changing their sound direction with more emphasis on vocal harmonies and country/folk pop instead of their familiar indie pop style. Only time will tell if the band releases a whole album of similar tunes or if this is just a one time foray into new ground.

New Track from Pursesnatchers

May 11, 2011 nathan.lankford One comment

I’ve been aware of this band for some time now, anxiously awaiting the chance to introduce them to you. Pursesnatchers began as the project of Doug from Dirty on Purpose, who I loved, but soon his wife Annie from Au Revoir Simone joined in to round out the project. The band releases its debut, A Pattern Language on Uninhabitable Mansions July 19th, which based on this first single is going to be every bit as exciting as I hoped. It features the soft vocals of Doug, occasionally joined by his wife, and this rolling drum beat that allows for the guitars to build throughout the entire time, rising and crashing, creating a great bit of energetic sound scapes. Better get ready folks, this band is on to big things.

New Single from Radical Dads

May 10, 2011 nathan.lankford One comment

A month or so ago I tossed out a track from Radical Dads, a new up-and-comer who had caught my ears. They had released a few tracks/singles, but now they’re premiering the first track from their upcoming album Mega Rama, which comes out June 14th via Uninhabitable Mansions. This song has this cascading pop element, rising and falling all the way to it’s end. Vocals have a bit of youthfulness, even when the screech of the climactic moment joins the track. If this is any sign of what we can expect from Rad Dads, then sounds like we’re in for an enjoyable record we’re all sure to love.

New Music From John Lamonica

May 10, 2011 RayRay Leave a comment

Way back in December, I shared a demo track from an old favorite of mine John Lamonica. Well now Mr. Lamonica has himself a new album entitled Volunteers that just dropped in stores recently on Moodgadget Records. The new album features the same electronic style that we’ve seen from Lamonica as of late and could be one of those underrated albums from the year that everyone needs to listen to. Below we’ve got one of the tracks from the album for your enjoyment “Heartling”.

New Music From Planningtorock

May 9, 2011 RayRay Leave a comment

So here’s a new song from Janine Rostron and her awesome/weird musical project known as Planningtorock. The song below falls into that odd and tiny musical genre I like to call “horror pop”. Only a few bands (The Knife.. duh) come to mind that can create this sort of haunting vibe with their music while still incorporating some unique pop tendencies. This new song “The Breaks” will appear on the new album W coming your way May 24th on DFA Records. I also recommend checking out the new video for this song which will haunt your dreams at night…

New Track from Kids on a Crime Spree

May 9, 2011 nathan.lankford Leave a comment

There’s a really long back-story that goes into the foundation of Kids on a Crime Spree, starting somewhere back in Stockholm with Mario Hernandez then eventually leading him all the way back to California where he grabbed his old friends from From Bubblegum to Sky, and captured a set of tracks that’s sure to win over loads of fans around the Internet. The band is set to release their EP, We Love You So Bad, on Slumberland Records on May 31st. While it does partly fit in the vein of that labels standards, there’s a hint of something different, leading you to uncover the grand history of American music, one that began back in the Brill Building. Gives this song a try, and you’ll find yourself looking forward to the release just as much as we are.

New Music from Richard Buckner

May 6, 2011 nathan.lankford Leave a comment

I’ve always really enjoyed the work of Richard Buckner, quietly loving his music in my bedroom for countless hours. We haven’t heard from his since Meadows, which quickly burned out in my CD player, but now Merge is announcing his newest release, Our Blood, which will hit stores August 2nd. If you like things like Bill Callahan, you’re going to love listening to Buckner. His vocals have such great quality and emotion that he could probably sing without music and I’d be just as enthralled with the idea of a new release as I am with the music attached. This is going to be something truly special, I can feel it.
