New Song from Country Mice

Leave a comment

If you’re looking for something that seemingly fits the perfect seasonal change between Spring and Summer, then perhaps I’ve found the perfect track for you to toss up.  Country Mice are preparing to release their debut album, Twister, on June 7th via Wao Wao Records.  Listening to this latest track, it lives somewhere between casual country stomper and YHF-era Wilco.  Now, I don’t want to say they sound too much like the latter band, as they definitely have a much more clean country sound, especially when guitars aren’t knifing through everything. This is precisely the kind of music I love to listen to while those Spring showers try to save us from Texas heat.  Get into this now, you’ll be better off for it.

New Music From David Bazan

Leave a comment

We here at ATH love us some David Bazan so we tend to pay attention when the man drops new music our way.  This new track called “Wolves at the Door” is the opening number to Bazan’s latest album Strange Negotiations due out May 24th on Barsuk.  It really is a great pop song that highlights one of the most underrated songwriters in the indie game.  The guy’s good.

More New Music from Gold Bears

Leave a comment

A little over a month ago we brought you a brief introduction to Gold Bears.  And today we got news that the band has just signed with Slumberland Records, one of my personal favorites.  The label will be releasing the band’s album Are You Falling in Love on May 17th, and it should be full of great things.  Listening to lead track, “Record Store,” it’s got the feeling of early Lucksmiths’ lyricism and bubblegum flavor, but with a bit more of an edgier punch to it overall.  These are the kind of tracks that great records are made of, and I have a feeling this is going to fall right in line with my expectations.  Give it a gander.

New Music from David Vandervelde

Leave a comment

David Vandervelde has to be one of my absolute favorite musicians. Sure, he sounds like Marc Bolan, but don’t you dare come at me and say that’s a bad thing!  I got news yesterday that David’s working on some new stuff, just this time under the moniker Vandervelde.  He’s releasing a digital single via the good people over at Secretly Canadian.  This one definitely has David giving off a different vibe, one that’s more drenched in heartache than the past of Tyrannosaurus Rex; his voice even sounds a touch warmer, albeit just as good, than it has on previous efforts.  Not sure if this is a sign of more Vandervelde work in the future, but whatever it is, if it sounds this good, we’ll gladly take it.

Pierre Hall is a singer songwriter from Manchester who writes and records music under the name Golden Glow.  Hall began his project in 2009 after a terrible automobile accident left him unable to walk and often times alone with his thoughts.  Through this period in his life came the songs which are set to appear on his debut LP entitled Tender is the Night due out June 21st on Mush Records.  Below you’ll find the Joy Division-esque album opener “Adore Me”.  This guy is gonna be one to watch out for this summer.

New Track from BNLX

Leave a comment

Man, you’ve got to thank your lucky stars if you live in New York.  On May 20th and 21st, BNLX, will be playing several shows to celebrate the release of EP #5.  We tossed out a track a bit ago, but the more these guys write together, the stronger their sound gets.  The lead single from the new EP, “Burn the Boats” reminds me of early Black Rebel Motorcycle Club, when that band was blowing out amps and burying us with feedback.  You can hear that feedback squall swirl around BNLX on this track, and the steady delivery of female/male vocals has this hypnotic yet driving influence that’s just perfect for any sort of rampage.  The more they write, the happier we are.  You can grab your copy of the new EP from Susstones.

New Music From Yourself & The Air

Leave a comment

Our amigos over at the MOKB just premiered this new tune called “Sick Days” by Chicago based band Yourself & The Air that’s struck a chord with me.  The song will appear on a brand new EP from the band entitled Who’s Who in the Zoo due out May 24th on Lujo Records.  Sometimes these guys come across as sort of a post-emo pop band and then throw you for a loop and give you some contemplative prog rock to really make you think.  Oh and they were animal masks, which lord knows we ATH kids LOVE.

New Track from Priory

One comment

Yesterday was a long day for me, just dancing about in my chair.  But, today I think I’ve become refocused after discovering Portland band Priory.  At first, I thought I had stumbled upon this great bit of forestry folk, you know, the softer type that takes you to the woods.  Then, a bit of a bounce was introduced in the middle of this track, which, while welcome, completely caught me off guard. It’s nice to find a little blend between true folk and street pop, so it’s easy to say that I got hooked on this track from minute one.  You’ll be able to find this song, as well as ten others the group has been working on for their self-titled, Priory, record.  It will be out on June 21st on Expunged Records, so get into it before you’re too late.
