More from Mark Sultan

Leave a comment

markIt seems like Mark Sultan is always up to something, and I’m grateful that he’s always kicking out tunes. Here we have Mark working on his own, bringing out his percussion stomp and rhythmic riffs to lay the ground work. Of course, it wouldn’t be a BBQ offering if we didn’t get to hear Mark blast those great pipes, hitting on the history of great rock n’ roll sounds. I could just listen to this guy belt em’ out all day long; you’ll be able to hear Mark’s new LP, aptly titled BBQ when it’s released on November 25th via In the Red Records.

Pop Hits from Kuroma

Leave a comment

kuromaThere’s something about this new track from Kuroma that reminds me of Papercuts; it begins rather innocently before building into this huge pop opus. The swelling burst of brilliance is accented by string orchestration, bouncing playfully during the song’s chorus. Oh, and if you’re listening to the lyrics here, then you’ll notice that the song’s a pretty nice ode to songwriter Hank Sullivant’s wife. This song will feature on the band’s new LP, The Dark Horse Rides Again, which comes out on October 14th via Votiv.

Beautiful New Piece from Arbes

Leave a comment

arbesWell, contrary to the date, it’s not quite Fall here in Austin, which makes this track from Arbes pretty perfect; it fits somewhere between the sunny playfulness of summer and the breezy afternoons of early Fall. I love the steadying hand the band employs, carefully moving guitar lines over rolling drums. It’s got this internal joyousness that only arrives upon repeated listens, which I highly suggest. I have a feeling that their new Psalms EP will be the perfect way to move between seasons…not to mention a wonderful way to pass any afternoon; look for its release on October 7th via Sports Day Records.

New Ablebody Video ft. Sean Nicholas Savge

Leave a comment

We’re a few weeks away from the release of Ablebody‘s full-length release, Adult Contemporaries, and the band have offered up this new video for their latest single. This is the sort of dreamy pop I’ve come to expect from the band, with the video seemingly matching the album’s contemporary adult motif. There’s a softness to this track, which walks that fine line between indiepop and soulful R&B, which is probably owed to the beautiful touch of Sean Nicholas Savage‘s vocals. Look to get your hands on their new LP via Lolipop on October 14th.

Premiere: New Suntrodden Single

Leave a comment

suntroddenAs you’ve seen, I’ve been all about Suntrodden leading up to the release of his release, which is a month away! While you’ve heard touches of indiepop, this new single shows of Erik Stephansson to build this huge pop sensibility in really simple ways, utilizing the strength of his voice and careful guitar playing. At this point, I don’t think I can find a thing he’s done wrong at this point…this is a pop songwriter with the gift. Look to get your hands on Suntrodden II on October 28th.

Gimme 5 ACL: Corbu

Leave a comment

unnamedAs we get ready for ACL this weekend, team ATH has been trying to find new ideas for providing coverage for this year’s festival in unique and exciting ways. An idea was given to me recently to have a group highlight some of their favorite bands on the bill by way of a 5 song playlist. I jumped at the idea and asked New York City based outfit Corbu to be our very first playlist band. Maybe you’ll find something you like or rediscover an oldie that you forgot about. Check out the band’s words and playlist after the jump.

Brand New Music from Halfsour

Leave a comment

halfsourHalfsour caught our attention when they had a release with our friends over at Jigsaw Records, and they just unleashed another couple of tunes from their forthcoming Charm School. I like how these two tracks show the two sides of the story of this band, offering one with the male front and the other featuring a female front. In that story, you get a rambunctious semi-TV Personalities feel, while the latter brings out a more pop-punk centric jam. These new jams will be featured on the new release from Disposable America and Too Far Gone Records on October 14th…this should be on your list.

The Burgeoning Cover the Neighbourhood

Leave a comment

Radio pop music is an easy target for us all, but sometimes it just takes a touch from an artist you enjoy to have you look at it a different way. For me, I hate the Neighbourhood, but I really love the Burgeoning. I’m excited to hear the band’s new EP, Loud Dreams, in full…and instead of going the traditional route with single after single, they’ve recorded a bunch of covers in the abandoned house where they practice. It sounds pretty similar until the latter half where they take it into their own shimmering dream pop territory. Look for their new record on October 28th, and realize that even the radio might have something to offer us.

I Love This New Slow Hollows Tune

Leave a comment

slowSometimes I see a song has a thousands of plays and I ignore it; I figure you’ve probably already heard it elsewhere, so what’s the point of shouting into the Internet void. But, this Slow Hollows track is just too great not to share, so take a listen to it. I like the pop croon from the group, almost like a nice nod to indiepop, though with a more orchestrated sound coming from the entirety of the group. The drums sit fairly far back in the mix, allowing the melody to steal the show, which, in songs like this, is precisely where things go right. The band’s album, Romantic, is out November 4th via Danger Collective.

One More Few Bits Tune For You

Leave a comment

fewbitsFew Bits will be releasing their sophomore album Big Sparks on Friday, so why not celebrate that release by offering you another single. Here, Karolien’s voice is the winner, offering a great vocal performance while the band, for the most part, works quietly behind her…accenting with the emphatic note here and there. What’s special? Well, I think the chorus is quite stunning, punching up the melody in exactly the right spot; it’s an infectious moment that has you holding out for more. PIAS is releasing the record Friday, so pop fans, you’ve been warned. I mean, come on…the chorus!
