Leave a comment

pfarmersHey man, we’re always just looking out for y’all here at ATH, so I wanted to let you know that the lovely folks at Jurrasic Pop records are letting you stream the new Pfarmers LP, Gunnera, for free for a limited time. Pfarmers is the project of The National’s Bryan Devendorf, Danny Seim of Menomena, and Dave Nelson of St. Vincent…so really with all that talent you should probably give it a listen. Everyone likes free, legal music, right?

18 Years of Rock N Roll from Joe Bordenaro

Leave a comment

josephWell, the 18 years is more a reference to a lifetime of writing music in one’s soul, as Joe Bordenaro has only lived for 18 years.  That’s exactly why this new tune is rather exciting, seeing as he’s written such a great tune at such a young age. Joe’s first single comes out this week courtesy of Canvas Club, and it’s just a great power-pop tune to get you through your day; the guitars twist and distort in all the right places, and there’s an earnestness in his nod to pop music, especially in the vocals.  Keep an eye on this youngster…we should see more coming from him soon.

Summer Fiction Wants You To Love Them

About a month ago Nathan gave you this sweet jam, and now I’m here to give you another one from Summer Fiction. “Perfume Paper” is the perfect pop gem: it’s got super present vocals that tell a story, a chorus that will get stuck in your head for days, and jangly guitar riffs all over the place. Their album, Himalaya, is due out on June 16th, and it sounds like it’s gonna be one you can’t afford to miss, really. Listen up kids.

Jaill Now Working with Burger Records

Leave a comment

jaillI loved the records that Jaill put out on Sub Pop Records, but the group’s moving on, agreeing to work with Burger Records for their brand new LP.  It’s interesting seeing the growth of the band over the past several LPs; they get catchier with each album, making it hard for any music fan to turn their head away. There’s still some kicking riffs here to get your amped up, stomping or bouncing around your cubicle (bedroom, whatever).  I hear a slight hint of Dan B from Destroyer in the vocals, which is never a bad thing for us here at the office. Look for Brain Cream to be released by the label on June 30th.

Give Trudy a Little Listening Time

Leave a comment

11169666_424097891103755_5913121165138313116_oI’m really excited to bring you this track from Trudy, the new up-and-coming act from overseas.  There’s a whole slew of things going on in this song that I find rather interesting, all leading to an out of the ordinary listen.  There’s these little elements of garage rock (real tiny), but they blend it in with some doo-wop touches; if that wasn’t enough, there’s a bit of oddity from the psychedelic realm, all glued into a pop structure. No word on precisely when we’ll get something official from the band, by way of a full-length, but it’s an awesome introduction…if you ask me.

Body Double to ReIssue Tom Diabo

Leave a comment

diaboAt the age of 30, Tom Diabo had been battling cancer for seven years, and those seven years brought gifts that only his family was meant to hear…until now. Almost 30 years after his death, Body Double is releasing a collection of his songs under the title Dark Star. Musically, there’s a tragic beauty being presented right here on this single from the release; I was entranced almost immediately.  Diabo’s vocals are deep and hallowed, often looped on top of another. It’s really interesting and quite unique, thus I’m sharing with you, hoping you’ll be as intrigued; the release is scheduled for June 2nd.

You Can’t Ignore Hooton Tennis Club

Leave a comment

hootonI mean, the Hooton Tennis Club name alone grabs your attention, in some form or another, but what’s important is how quickly you get attached to this new single. From the moment that first snare hit kicks in with the guitar twisting around the lyrics, it’s pop success.  It’s a perfect pop piece, rocking a little bit of twang in the guitars whilst pushing a casually cool vocal to bring the whole track together. If this ditty suits your tastes, then look for for the group to release their debut album later this year via Heavenly Recordings.

Axel Flóvent Gives You More Soft Folk

Leave a comment

axelA little while ago, I gave you guys a delightful bit of folk music from Iceland’s Axel Flóvent, and I’m excited to share yet another great tune from this gentleman. “Dancers,” has a little bit more of a pop vibe to it than the other track, but at the same time, there’s this incredible delicateness to the vocals on this tune, and goose-bump inducing when they peak into their charming falsetto. Another great song that should incline you to pick up his Forest Fires EP, which is out May 25th.

Track Premiere: New Single from Frog

Leave a comment

froggyHave you spent any of your time listening to Frog? No? Then prepare yourself for something quite special, something you’ll rush to share with your friends, hoping to be the coolest kid on the block.  This new single from their upcoming album, Kind of Blah, is a number that builds layer upon layer, working first with vocals, then adding and adding until listeners are carried away by the power of song.  This is one of those tunes that erases the world around you, leaving you to find yourself at one with the song before you.  Look for the band’s album to hit on May 25th via Audio Antihero.
