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.

New Song from Pat Jordache

May 6, 2011 nathan.lankford Leave a comment

Somehow Pat Jordache seems to have escaped my ears, but with the release of his recent album, Future Songs, things are changing in my world, and hopefully his as well. Pat used to play with Sister Suvi, with one of his former mates going on to help in Tun-e-Yards. This track has a really deep vocal, but it’s got an odd effect on it, which reminds me of that vocal approach sometimes employed by TV on the Radio. Intrestingly, the music itself seems to counteract the vocal itself, giving this even more of a feeling of unsteadiness, yet it all works, creating a song that immediately attracts your ears, though you might never figure out why.

New Music From Tomorrows Tulips

May 5, 2011 RayRay One comment

I don’t know what the hell is wrong with me these days, but I just can’t seem to get enough of this garage rock throwback stuff that’s ever so popular right now. Tomorrows Tulips are another band ready to join the movement and please the ears of ATH RayRay. The band features vocals by Alex Knost who used to front solid indie-rock band Japanese Motors, and Knost’s girlfriend Christina Keyes. If you like the new single “Eternally Teenage” found below, you can get your hands on the debut LP from Tomorrows Tulips on June 19th via Galaxia Records.

New Jam from Thieves Like Us

May 5, 2011 nathan.lankford Leave a comment

Man, after a rough couple of days, I needed a jam like this one. Thieves Like Us are returning with their Your Love Runs Still EP on May 10th, their first effort for killer label Captured Tracks. After listening to this title track several times, I sort of see this as a less quirky take on what Hot Chip have been doing. It focuses on the beat and groove, giving your body that needed emotion to swiftly move about the house, but in a much less spastic manner than most dance tracks. You can definitely see how a song like this will help the band fit right into the stable of great bands on CT. Well played guys.

New Wet Paint Track

May 5, 2011 nathan.lankford Leave a comment

A few years ago I caught wind of this band by checking in on Bloc Party, but don’t let that confuse you, as they sound nothing like the band. Wet Paint have a sound more akin to those who’ve recently been slogging in the muck with early 90s slacker/nerd rock. Their new record, Woe, should be out this month, and I can’t help but just swoon over these collection of tracks. You can see the past living in their songs, but it’s not overly reminiscent of any band in particular, which gives the band of a punch of originality and freshness. Go back in time with me and enjoy this track folks.

More New Music from Other Lives

May 4, 2011 nathan.lankford 2 comments

Just a few weeks ago we brought you one of the new tracks from our dear friends in Other Lives. And yesterday, Paste released another new song from their upcoming album, Tamer Animals, coming straight to you next week! If you take one listen to this track you’ll surely see why we love this band so much. Jesse’s voice sounds incredible, while the drumming remains steady, perfectly emphasizing the solemn piano tracks. Showing restraint, they don’t burst off into some sort of sonic explosion, instead choosing to allow the song’s natural melody to escape through its quiet presentation. I dare you to find anything wrong with this band right now; you can’t.
