Brilliant New Song From Shout Out Louds

Leave a comment

I have no idea why ATH has yet to talk about the new Shout Out Louds records… Let me apologize profusely for our absent mindedness and hit you with latest teaser track from the new album “Paola”. Just sneaking in before the album’s release date tomorrow, this new single is classic SOL material and I couldn’t be happier. The rhythm section creates this tight, driving force to the song as the vocals from Adam Olenius play off the sounds perfectly. I forgot how much I like this band.

Shout Out Louds will release Ease My Mind on Merge tomorrow. Buy yourself a copy here.

Great New Deathlist Tune

Leave a comment

Deathlist is coming for you, and you won’t be able to turn away. Below you’ll find the title track to the new Weaks EP, which was recorded with help from Hutch Harris. That alone would garner my interest, but then you can throw that out the window as the song’s execution is so good that you’ll play the track over and over. Jenny Logan’s vocals have this breathy quality, almost with a hint of a rasp at the end of each note. Dig deeper and you’ll find that the production and mix allows for everything to sparkle in its own fashion…I love the guitar sound, as well as the faintest hint of piano/keyboard tinkering in the distance. Should be another excellent release; look for it on October 6th.

Check Out Dead Oceans New Signing, Shame

Leave a comment

Shame signs to Dead Oceans with a ton of UK hype behind them. It’s definitely going to be interesting hearing out the rest of the band’s tunes come across; this single’s great, but you could see an album of like-minded tracks wearing you out. It works around a bit of call-and-response punk ethos, though you can clearly hear that the band has a pop-centric focus…be it in the chorus or in some of the guitar sounds. It’s a good introduction, but we’ll hold out on full fandom until their debut drops in 2018.

Enjoying This New Covey Track

Leave a comment

Covey will be releasing Haggarty on Friday, and before it drops, there’s another reason right here for you to fall in love with the project. Something about the vocals really has me hung up…there’s this feeling of longing, or searching, as the last notes of each syllable fade out…and I’m hooked. Slight backing vocals add emphasis, and the closing push really adds a joyousness to the track. Sometimes you find a track that’s familiar in every way, and you can’t pull away…today is that day and this is that song.

ATX Spotlight: Calvin Locklear

Leave a comment

I wish I could say I’m surprised when I discover new Austin artists since we think we know everything, but let’s get real, this town is full of up and coming artists waiting to be discovered. Take local songwriter Calvin Locklear for example. Prior to only a few days ago, I honestly had never heard his name mentioned despite my keen ear to the local scene. Well he’s recently released an EPs worth of material entitled No One is Listening and suggested we check out this track “Wet Cement” from the 6 song extended player. Immediately the voice of Locklear reminds me quite a bit of Damon Albarn (Blur/Gorillaz) which, paired with his folk rock/R&B blend, creates something really in a genre all its own. It’s refreshing to hear something new is happening in Austin.

If you’re into it, Locklear has more music on Soundcloud and his entire new EP streaming on bandcamp.

Seductive Pop from Vilde

Leave a comment

Remember in that one movie where he played the Beta Band, then everyone went and bought it? Well, I get that sentiment when I watch this video/new tune from Stockholm’s Vilde. There’s this quiet electronic groove that flows beneath the ground, allowing all this room for the angelic voice of Thomas Savage to weave further magic through your speakers. Just as I’m lost in the song, I turn to the video to find a collage of images fading in and out of one another and find myself completely lost in the beautiful madness of my own mind. This is his final piece in the Study Dance collection, and by far the most intoxicating…give it a go.

Frankie Rose Plays Tonight at Barracuda

Leave a comment

Those of you that pay any heed to the indie media cred will surely be aware that Frankie Rose released the most excellent Cage Tropical earlier this year via Slumberland; heralded P4K gave it a 7.7! It’s probably her most complete release to date, and she’s bringing it to the live stage tonight at Barracuda. But, even better for you is that opening the night will be our own Tres Oui, who are currently wrapping up a new LP for Shrimper, so you’re bound to hear a whole slew of new gems on stage tonight…plus Steven has some new pedals to show you. In the middle of the set is Suburban Living, so you really can’t go wrong by being in attendance. Doors are at 8!

 

Nice Pop Number From Little Coyote

One comment

Ah yes, we have finally made it to the middle of the week and the weekend is in sight. Helping us celebrate our hump day today is Toronto based Little Coyote and their promising new track “Medicine”. When I first heard the song, I was immediately attracted to the driving, almost yearning sound of the song. It has this weird sense of urgency building throughout while still showing a calm and tight production effort.

Little Coyote will release The Trouble With Teeth on October 13th. Pre-order that shiz now.

Mo Troper Has New Music

Leave a comment

Mo Troper has been on our radar for some time, and we’re glad that he’s already prepping a brand new LP for us to devour. Honestly, I’m stuck with this track, and for some reason it has everything to do with the horns; I guess I’ve been stuck in a Beulah rut lately. Still, those that enjoyed the last effort from Mo might find a little bit more of a pop-centric focus here…moving away, however fleeting that may be, from the garage-ish influences. I loved that stuff, but this just sounds like there’s not a peer around…Mo has the floor now ladies and gentleman. Look for Exposure and Response via Good Cheer Records on November 17th.

Feel Good Pop from Monogold

Leave a comment

Monogold have graced our pages many a time before, and now that there’s this light-hearted new tune floating out there, seems like the perfect time to reacquaint ourselves with the group. This tune has this steady groove working through the middle of it, leaving plenty of room for the vocals to take on their airy quality as the bounce on the top of the mix. Perhaps most interesting to me is how the band seemed to casually insert energy into this song, which definitely is a highlight to Tuesday’s listening. The Brooklyn group will release their new record, Babyfood, will be released by Chill Mega Chill Records on September 29th.
