New Music From Crystal Antlers

Leave a comment

One of my favorite and highly underrated indie bands from the last few years Crystal Antlers are prepping a new album for release this summer.  New album Two-Way Mirror will be available July 12th on Recreation LTD.  Prior to that date, we have this sweet new track “Summer Solstice” available below for your listening pleasure.  It’s not quite as thrashy/in your face when compared to older singles from the group, but I’m still calling it one of my favorites of the year so far.  Our amigos over at Tiny Mix Tapes also have a sweet live video of the song from way back in November.

New Track from Sarabeth Tucek

Leave a comment

I’ll admit it, we probably don’t do the best job of promoting female musicians as much as we should around these parts. But, something about Sarabeth Tucek caught me today, perhaps it was the simplicity of her offering.  There’s just a gentle guitar that meanders throughout, and then there’s just the vocal that goes atop it all.  Something in the way Tucek sings is awfully reminiscent of one Hope Sandoval, but perhaps that’s just wishful thinking. Regardless, she’s got a striking voice, and you can hear more from Sarabeth when her album, Get Well Soon, hits stores on May 24th.  Sometimes you just need a little love from the ladies. Oh, and apparently she sang with Bill Callahan on Smog‘s Supper back in the day.

New Music From Yarn Owl

Leave a comment

Good Tuesday to everyone out there in internets world.  To celebrate the long week ahead, here’s a newish track from Seattle based band Yarn Owl entitled “Embrace Our Place”.  The band, featuring former Band of Horses member Tim Meining, recently released their debut LP Montaña Caballo last month and are currently playing shows in support.  Ironically enough, the band sort of sounds a bit like Band of Horses, but with a much stronger foot stopping rhythm section.  You can also stream the band’s entire new LP over on their sweet bandcamp page.

New Tunes from 1, 2, 3

Leave a comment

Not too long ago, I tossed out a nice little jam from 1, 2, 3, and now we’ve got another track to throw your way for your listening pleasure.  As the band prepares for their debut release, New Heaven, on Frenchkiss Records this June 21st, they seem to be picking up steam with the press.  Listening to this latest single, you get the feeling that the band is going the route of band’s like Suckers, using off-kilter vocals to attach to their own groove-laden tracks.  It’s erratic at parts, but you can definitely feel the chug-chug of the guitar seep into your heart, as angular cuts and crashing cymbals wash over the speakers. Can’t wait for this to be out.

More New Music From Kindest Lines

Leave a comment

My favorite new find of the year has to be New Orleans based 80’s style synth-pop band Kindest Lines.  It’s really not my typical style, but for some reason they’ve struck a chord with me and have this odd way of keeping their tunes in my head.  The second new track we have from the band’s upcoming debut LP is called “Destructive Paths to Live Happily” and can be found below.  You can get your hands on Covered in Dust June 15th on Weird Records.

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.
