New Slow Jam from Ty Segall

Leave a comment

I’ve raved about Ty Segall for quite some time, and many assumed he would take the place of dearly departed Jay Reatard.  All signs pointed to this, that is until recently when he began to mention a slower approach to his songwriting on the his new record.  Goodbye Bread will be out June 21st, and it will be his first for Drag City.  This first single from the album shows exactly what Ty promised, using a more drawn out garage sound, similar to the slew of T. Rex covers he tossed out not to long ago.  This track’s all well and good, but we’ll have to wait for the jury to return when the whole collection of songs hits the streets this summer. Give a listen to a less rambunctious Ty below.

More New Music from Radical Dads

2 comments

Sorry guys, but I just can’t get enough of Radical Dads. I recently got a hold of their upcoming album Mega Rama, which comes out on June 14th via Uninhabitable Mansions, and I can’t quit playing it.  Their first single “New Age Dinosaur” had a different feel, and on the latest number, you’re going to get a whole arena rock feeling, especially in the vocal department.  Don’t be afraid, as the band manage to blend some indie elements into their anthemic pop rock, so it’s going to be okay for all of us to listen to it.  Be sure to keep an eye on these guys, as this record is full of twists and turns that will keep you both interested and excited after every play.  Love it.

New Track from Crinkles

One comment

Luckily I came across the info on Crinkles in my inbox today, promising warm guitars and mention of nu-Americana. Not sure that I know much about nu-Americana, but I definitely love warm guitar sounds, especially as I’ve been feeling kind of worn out lately, so it allows me to unwind in my own mind for a spell.  Crinkles are on their way to releasing their Know Nothing EP, which will hopefully get the band a bit more recognition, as this track deserves your attention, especially if you wait until the end for singer Dan’s voice to drift off harmoniously.  The band have a few EPs to their name already, so take some time out today to visit their various pages, and take it all in; you’ll be glad you did.

New Song from Black Lips

Leave a comment

I feel like its really been awhile since I’ve really jammed out to Black Lips, but as the day draws closer to the release of their new record, I find myself revisiting their solid catalog.  The band’s new album, Arabia Mountain, comes out on Vice on June 7th, and so far it sounds pretty promising.  Today they released a new track, aptly titled “New Direction,” and the song is definitely a step towards something different.  For me, the first thing I notice is that the production is much cleaner, and the band seem less like a bunch of punk rabble-rousers. A little bit of focus and things guys could be killer. Personally, I’m finally seeing that Georgia punk sound in their music, and I dig it.

New Music From FIDLAR

Leave a comment

So did I mention that I am slightly into the garage/psych rock sound right now?  No der.  Well here’s another new song by L.A. based FIDLAR that’s also melding well with my current musical tastes.  This new tune “Max Can’t Surf” appears on a new 7″ from the band that was recently released on White Iris.  If I haven’t said it enough, I’m looking for some songs to get me ready for the upcoming summertime people.

New Song from Grooms

Leave a comment

One of the great things about SXSW is that it introduces you to bands you’ve never heard of, and often don’t remember days afterward, but then when you come across a new tune you get really excited, remembering all the promise the band showed in their brief set.  Such is the case of Grooms, having come across them last year at SXSW.  Having been quiet since the release of their last album, Rejoicer, the group has now lined up the release of Prom, set to come out July 12th via Kanine Records.  This first track comes off with this real muddy feel to it, filled with noise throughout, seemingly about to crash down up the listener.  All the while the vocals have this thoughtful quality, as if the lyrics are an observation of the music.  It all makes for a listen that will have you pushing repeat until the button breaks.

New Single From Bon Iver

Leave a comment

Kanye West’s favorite folk rocker is about to make his triumphant return, which surely has the Internet abuzz today with the first single from the upcoming self-titled album, out on June 21st via our friends over at JagJaguwar.  At first listen, this sounds much like his work from his previous Bon Iver releases, then it gradually begins to build.  Don’t get me wrong, this isn’t going to be an all out rocker of a tune, but it’s definitely got a more upbeat feeling towards the end, crafted with some beautiful soaring melodies, much as Vernon is want to create.  With songs like these, we can only assume that this record’s going to be something special.
