Gelli Haha Shares Spit Video

Leave a comment

When you find yourself stuck in a musical rut, sometimes you just need to kick over your chair, stand up and dance…and what better way to get started than by cranking up this new Gelli Haha track. A self-imposed rule of only using “S” words creates this artistic layer to the project, along with the incredible video by David Gutel that has Gelli strapped into some absurd scientific experiment. For me, I got locked into this groove, wrapped around a tight little punch that feels like you’re running in place at full steam. It’s propulsive, but stationary, locked into this groove that forces your body to convulse in a freeing fashion. Not sure what all that means? Press play below and grab Switcheroo on June 27th from Innovative Leisure.

The Perfect English Weather Share Pilgrimage

Leave a comment

With this Spring lighting up with great indiepop, I want to make sure we take a moment to celebrate the classic pop stylings of The Perfect English Weather, particularly their charming new single. Little time is wasted here, with the tracking opening up with budding arrangements, setting sweeping brooms of chamber pop into motion, I keep being drawn towards that lonely piano line walking us along intermittently. Still, I’m a massive lover of moments, the shocking sort that just put you on your toes and sweep you away; I found it here, for the first time at the 1:20 mark, with the line “he didn’t want to be loved by people” breaking me perfectly. Their new album Just Beyond the Lights will be out on Friday via Matinee Recordings.

Check Out Alive from Ghostwoman

Leave a comment

Canadian duo and powerhouse GHOSTWOMAN came on our team’s radar back in 2022 with the release of their debut, self-title LP. This year the pair have some planned European fall tour dates along with a brand new LP entitled Welcome to the Civilized World coming near the end of summer. Of course new tunes will be incoming as the release date draws closer, including this new jam called “Alive.” I can already envision myself heading into West Texas with this one as I hit the road and melt into the groovy Americana of it all. Sometimes our friends to the north can make the best southern states inspired tunes.

Pre-orders for Welcome to the Civilized World are live now via Full Time Hobby. The album is out on September 5th.

Lunar Isles Return with Reminiscent

Leave a comment

Listening to Lunar Isles is perfectly fitting for a rainy morning, like that weather outside my window at this very moment. Just last week, the South Korean project released Reminiscent, their fifth album of delightful indiepop sounds. You’ll find the record’s opening track combining two guitar sounds, one building a dreamscape of ambiance, whilst the other has this playful rhythm to it that provides the tune with its pacing. There’s a few times with you get a little pick up, kind of bouncing a bit in between verses, and those notes really got caught and resonated in my brain. You get sucked into the music vibe, but as you’re doing that, you’ll find the vocals washing over you, letting you soak in their cooled waters. Stream the whole LP below!

Loon Release Slow Your Roll

Leave a comment

One of the great things about a healthy music scene is that it generally is not defined by one sound, so while we gravitate towards the dreamy pop of the San Francisco area, Loon remind us that there’s a history of really great folk rock bubbling that has roots in the city. They just dropped their 3-track Slow Your Roll EP, which has little hints of the Dead, particularly if you listen to EP opener “Bitter.” But, I love the heavy vocals of “City Thing,” which we’ve got streaming for you below. That lonesome guitar fits perfectly into my pocket, and even with the weight of the voice, there’s this slight little bit of playfulness in the annunciation, giving off a little bit of light that will shine into your world. Click play and enjoy another a San Francisco treat.

Fortunato Durutti Marinetti Announces New LP

Leave a comment

I find it difficult to express the joy in listening to a new Fortunato Durutti Marinetti tune, most often because I feel my words are inadequate to describe a poet such as he. Alas, there’s a new record on the horizon titled Bitter Sweet, Sweet Bitter, and our first listen already puts you on notice that the craft is something beyond special. It seemingly opens with a spoken word moment, but within five seconds, the arrangement work that elevates a Fortunato takes off; horn blasts, wiggling guitars, jazzed up drums all build the texture that serves as the background to his latest piece. You’ll notice a similarity to a Destroyer, but if I’m being honest, Marinetti has a slightly tighter grip on melody, softening the distinctive accent as his charms sweep across your speakers. This new album should definitely fill you with listening joy, so grab it from Quindi Records before July 25th.

The Spiral Electric Share In Too Deep

Leave a comment

We find ourselves starting our morning with another track from a great San Francisco band, the Spiral Electric. They’re bringing a sound on the edge of psychedelia and slowcore shoegaze, and you get that almost instantly as they shoot off into these mellow bending notes of guitar. You can slowly hear those notes start to build in their power, and that’s when the song blew me away, hitting the perfect chorus with a burst. But, it was the melodic twist in the vocals there that really grabbed me, reminding me that above and beyond, I’m always going to be a basic bitch pop fan with an extreme adoration for great hooks.

Ryli Give Us Break Single

Leave a comment

When the thundering drum groove opened on this new Ryli track, it settled me for a nice little ride; I hitched on, waiting for the voice of Yea-Ming Chen to join, along with the guitars. As soon as that settled, the track embraces a cooled glow that works with this earnestness that takes a dreamier style and pushes it into something that feels a touch more haunting in its presentation. In a sense, it reminds me of a more sparkling version of late Fresh and Onlys, tying in elements of garage and psychedelia, albeit with a touch more polish to maximize the listener’s joy. The band’s new LP, Come and Get Me, will be out on June 27th via Dandy Boy Records.

Autocamper Share Red Flowers

Leave a comment

While the opening track on Autocamper‘s new LP offered a slight nod to the Pacific Northwest pop of the 80s/90s (and beyond), their new single switches up singers, giving us a glimpse at how diverse the group’s new record will sound. Niamh takes vocal duties, sprinkling in the softer side of the pop spectrum; it’s a drifting little melody, hanging in the air as guitars and keys churn out the joy you need in your life. In a sense, it reminds me of the Allo’ Darlin, sharing a consistent charm from the song’s start to its finish. Their debut What Do You Do All Day LP will be part of the great summer releases from Slumberland; it hits on July 11th.

Tropical Fuck Storm Offer Teeth Marche

Leave a comment

One of my favorite things about doing what I do here on ATH is being punched in the face by my own expectations. You think you know a band, you think you know what you’re getting when you press play, but then you get a band like Tropical Fuck Storm who just say “fuck you” and created art in the best way, just because it feel right. Their earlier singles from the forthcoming Fairyland Codex have mostly featured Gareth on vocals, delivering their sort of post-art-punk sound, matching his rhythmic delivery. “Teeth March,” on the other hand, has this natural unfurling, with these light guitar notes that feel like a red carpet being rolled out for singer Erica Dunn to present her storytelling. In that, there’s this little hip-shaking swagger lurking beneath, with a complete breakdown twisting the plot just a wee bit in the midst of the beautiful madness. Please grab a copy of Fairyland Codex on its June 29th release date, courtesy of Fire Records. And, they’ve got a few US dates at the end of June, including an ATX show at the Ballroom, so be on the lookout!
