Suzie Drop New Tune

Leave a comment

You’re putting together that late night playlist for all those summertime after-parties, and now you’ve got another song that’s going to be a mainstay on said playlist. Suzie drops this new single from the forthcoming Pressure cassette; it’s going to be released in August. The song features Claure de Lune of Tiny Deaths, who drapes her voice over the slow-jam crafted by Mark Ritsema and Graham Barton (who also produced the record). It’s just a casual bit of pop music begging for repeat listens as you hold your partner close to you. Pressure is out on August 31st via Forged Artifacts.

 

 

Never a Bad Time for a Henrik Appel Tune

Leave a comment

With summer music listening slowing as of late, you’ve got to be on the lookout for stellar tune just beneath the hip surface, like Henrik Appel. The Swede has featured here quite a bit in preparation for this forthcoming LP, and this new track is keeping him on our radar. Appel works atop a strummed guitar for the duration of the track…a light bit of backing vocals comes in near the song’s latter half, adding a textural layer that increases the song’s emotional appeal. For me, the simplest songs are sometimes the best…it’s all about execution. Burning Bodies drops on June 29th via PNKSLM.

Have Another Alex Dingley Tune

Leave a comment

Up until today, the song’s we’ve heard from Alex Dingley have mostly revolved around a sort of arty indie rock. But, eager to show you he’s no one-trick pony, Alex drops this new entrancing tune to show you his skills as a balladeer. A plodding piano backbone helps keep the balance of the song, with minimal percussion helping for slight accompaniment. Dingley, for his part, takes his distinctive vocals and offers a performance that ingrains itself in your brain. Don’t forget to grab your copy of Beat the Babble, which just came out last Friday via Libertino.

Smokescreens Offer New Gem

Leave a comment

Seems like just the other day we were praising the first Smokescreens single from the band’s news album, and already, they’re back with a sunny number to sweeten the summer season. Musically speaking, it sounds like the Replacements decided to create a jangle pop band…so they’ve got that going for them. The vocal display has this inherent bounce that gives the tune that memorable punch that will surely keep you coming back for more. I don’t know about you, but I get the feeling that Used to Yesterday is going to be a smash summer hit; it drops on July 13th via Slumberland.

New Music from The Molochs

Leave a comment

There’s two things that come to mind when I play this new track from The Molochs: one, you can most assuredly hear California coming through your speakers; two, this sounds like a sly nod to Britpop (particularly 94′ era Oasis). To me, both things are great reasons to jam this song on repeat; it’s crunchy in just the right spots, but mostly melodic throughout…so I’m easily charmed. Plus, the group have Flowers in the Spring coming your way in September, and since their last LP was a hit, you can pretty much guarantee this one will be equally enjoyable; it drops via Innovative Leisure.

Get Rowdy With Calva Louise

Leave a comment

It’s Thursday, the weekend is in sight, and I’m ready to party. At the moment, the band who seems the best prepared to party with me is London based artist Calva Louise. The trio has just sent along this new track “Outrageous” and it’s a raucous and fast rock n roll song. Imagine if a band like Death From Above added a lady lead singer like Marissa Paternoster from Screaming Females. If nothing else, it’s sure to wake your ass up this morning.

Sun June Album Release Tonight at Spiderhouse

Leave a comment

If you haven’t been reading the cool sites, then maybe you’ve missed the swirling hype surrounding Austin’s Sun June. Hype or not, we here at ATH can attest to the band’s talents, both live and recorded. Tonight they gather with friends and label mates to celebrate the release of their new album, Years; you can stream that whole LP right HERE. Daphne Tunes will kick things off, followed by the esteemed Julia Lucille. If you’re not fortunate enough to live in Austin, then go head over to our friends at Keeled Scales and grab yourself a copy there before it’s too late! Oh, and here’s the last single from the LP, and one of my fave tracks. Doors at 8!

New Music from Rabbit Island

Leave a comment

Always keeping my ear to the seas, word’s been spreading about Australia’s Rabbit Island for some time, and today we get a glimpse of why Amber Fresh’s project is riding the whispers of hype. This track is very bare and emotional; it revolves entirely around Fresh and a piano, with the ivory keys striking a solemn tone. Her voice has this innocence to it, with her words showing us a more playful side of songwriting. The world will all get to hear her new album, Deep in the Big, when it’s released by Bedroom Suck Records/Remote Control on August 17th.

Rambunctious Rocker from Proud Parents

Leave a comment

Proud Parents are just a few weeks away from the release of their next LP, and what better way to entice you to open up your wallet then by offering a listen to this super infectious single. It sounds a lot like Shannon & the Clams, if you painted the band with a slightly more energetic and jangling vibe. It’s soulful and youthful, all at the once, leaving you to tap your toes and sing along from the get go. Their self-titled LP will drop on June 22nd via Dirtnap Records, with a tour to follow in July (including an Austin date at Beerland on 7/12).

New Music from Tim the Mute

Leave a comment

Tim the Mute is the project of one Tim Clapp, who also happens to run a rather great label, Kingfisher Bluez. Just recently he put up previews of a ton of new music; I’m particularly looking forward to the next full-length, Do In Yourself. In a sense, he’s writing the same classic pop songs he’s always written, but I feel like music of this sort has sort of gone to the wayside, unfortunately. His voice has some Wayne Coyne tones, which would be an easy way to connect, or just listen to someone writing earnest pop songs you won’t hear anywhere else. KB will release the vinyl, with Lost Sound Tapes putting out a tape version.
