Runo Plum Delivers Another Gem

Leave a comment

There’s very few great records remaining on the release schedule for 2025, but one we’d like you to give your attention to is runo plum; she just shared one final single from her debut LP this morning. Opening with a careful strum and a whispered melody, the tune seems quietly personal, which is one of the various ways the various ways you’ll find yourself enchanted on the tune below. If you listen carefully, a light cymbal shimmers around the 27 second mark, and the strum begins to take on more force, all of it blossoming into striking pop euphoria around the 44 second mark. From that moment on you’re smitten, and you’ll find yourself wandering over to Winspear to grab a copy before next Friday’s official LP release of Patching.

Dorothy Share I Want to Be Out on the Sea

Leave a comment

Those of you looking for something quieter for your soul will want to lean into this Dorothy single; it’s a track that reflects the song’s title, nipping at your soul like the splashing waters of the sea tides. The UK group build these cavernous musicscapes, allowing their vocals to line the edges of the ebbs and flows of each note. They overlap vocals, creating another layer of sound that finds listeners carefully listening in for the secrets of the craft. It’s a track that washes over your soul, cleansing the palate so you can immerse yourself wholly in the craft; look for Sea Songs this Friday via Angel Tapes.

Hirons Shares Vertigo Video

Leave a comment

As we move into the week, taking a look into Hirons new EP for this Friday seems like a really easy way to step into the work week. While the producer definitely employs some circular returns in the craft, there are some subtle little note changes in the building of this tune that illustrate the depth of the creativity, which is why we’re all here, right? Jenny Hirons’ voice is captivating as well, heavier than many contemporaries, drawing you in with dulcet tones drenched atop the tune’s first minute or so. Careful with that video, it might just give you vertigo! The Future Perfect EP is out this Friday via Western Vinyl.

Brand New Baker Island EP

Leave a comment

We first hit upon Newcastle outfit Baker Island last Spring with their Stone Age Riot LP, and they’ve already followed that up with a brand new collection of tunes for your ears. Love Eggtually is streaming officially today, and we’ve got a couple of the tunes we’d like to share with you, just in case you were light on sweet jams today. We’ve got the title track, which teases you with a subtle opening before bounding off into joyous brand of solidly squiggly pop jams. You can also twist on down the line to the longest tune, “Champion’s Visit,” which has this bright stomp to it that’s highlighted by this seemingly rushed pop punk style vocal that opens up to a soaring bit of drama. Their ability to captivate and keep it going over 7 minutes alone is a special move. If these two tracks whet your whistle, then stream the whole of Love Eggtually right HERE.

Walkabouts Share You Go Single

Leave a comment

There’s a plethora of solid songwriters in Austin these days, particularly when it comes to a modern guitar pop sound, like Walkabouts. They’re sound takes on that sort of cosmic guitar sound, where the notes sort of skitter off into the horizon, as the rhythm section just keeps us all locked into place. A little bit of added texture throughout allows for the melody on the vocals to have just the faintest hint of a hop to it, kind of bouncing along the central groove and sweetening the pot for the listener. Definitely a new act we’re keep our eyes and ears upon going into 2026.

Last Week’s Jams (10.27 – 10.31)

Leave a comment

During this time of the year, there’s slim pickings in terms of what’s out there, as labels and bands prepare to kind of whole up for the Winter, but we still have a really solid collection of jams for you. For starters, B. Gray and I met long, long ago at a Twilight Sad show at the OG Emos here in Austin (not the blasphemous new spot), so their new song gets precedent to show our love. We were really stoked to see our Internet pal Matt Kivel, currently of Austin, drop a single form his forthcoming LP, so that, of course, shows up. Then there’s just quality hit after hit, with Diles Que No Maten and Twin Shadow and Vilde and Devin Shaffer (sorry for the polysyndeton). There’s a little bit for you all!

Victoryland Announce My Heart is a Room With No Cameras In It

One comment

I know this hit the other day, but really loved the newest single from Victoryland, which is the new project of Julian McCamman, formerly of Blood, and formerly of Austin. He’s been working out of Brooklyn and his new project celebrates some of his previous band’s approach to pop songwriting; the sounds and feelings are obscured, with the track settling in this bright groove that delivers this rising syllabic punch at the end of each poetic line. While that hit delivers a big poppy hook, there’s just a faint pained grimace in the delivery, tying the work to a more punk aesthetic. The album My Heart is a Room with No Cameras In It is out on January 23rd via Good English Records.

New Ripper from Bee Bee Sea

Leave a comment

We’re big fans of Italian garage rock outfit Bee Bee Sea, and as they prep for the release of Stanzini Can Be Allright; we definitely wanted to give a shout to their newest single as it encompasses their approach to gritty grooves with infectious hooks. If you just take the surface of the single, it’s rough and sounds like the group pressed record in their recording space. But, there’s this natural joy in their song, and you certainly feel it as the “you” gets stretched through what one might consider a chorus. Hoping a few copies will make their way overseas in these trying shipping times; the album is out November 21st.

Twin Shadow Still Brings It

Leave a comment

While combing through some new music this morning, I realized that it has been a super long time since we posted on our old pal Twin Shadow. He has certainly been busy over the years, but for whatever reason, the music hasn’t been mentioned here. Today his new song “Love Gently” really stuck with me as I am easing into my chilly morning and finding my way through the day. If you’re in a similar sort of mood, I think will find some chillness here along with mellow beats and an overall nice groove. We apologize for the absence.

Twin Shadow will release this song as part of his seventh full length entitled Cadet. You can go ahead and pre-save that one now.

New Song from Diles Que No Me Maten

Leave a comment

One of the disappointments of missing the last day of Levitation this year was that I didn’t get to see Diles Que No Me Maten, the Mexico City outfit who have just dropped this single from Mexican Summer‘s Sitting on the Moon compilation. There’s this sort of journeyman storytelling to their style here, accompanied by this subtle meandering of guitar notes and light percussion. They’ve incorporated some imagery from DF, celebrating the beauty of the city, tying it to the majesty of their songwriting. Totally enamored with their songwriting and storytelling; they’ll be hitting a brief tour on the West Coast, starting tomorrow.
