Fairly Late To The Party: Circles/Waves

Leave a comment

screen-shot-2016-10-10-at-9-57-09-pmEvery now and then, when patrolling the internets for new tracks to share, you come across something that’s not particularly new, but it’s so exciting and good that you feel compelled to spread the word– such is the case with Brooklyn based trio, Circles/Waves. The first song I heard from them snagged my attention, and it’s the song I’ve included in the post below. “Inside Out (Demo)” showcases the hauntingly beautiful vocals of Claire Lorenzo that just glide along atop the pleasing blend of folk instrumentation. If you’re liking what you’re hearing here, then you should swing by over here and check out the EP that the band released earlier in the year. Also be on the lookout for more from this group, as it looks like they’re recording a full length.

ATX Spotlight: New Major Major Major

Leave a comment

Major Major MajorLate Sunday night, our friend John from Side One Track One ran this track on his Sunday night 101 Homegrown show (why aren’t you listening). We asked Major Major Major if we could share it with you, as this is one of my favorite tracks from the group. I love the funky guitar chords, just before the track rolls into its playful breakdown that opens the way for a joyous of chorus. Another reason I dig this tune is you can practically picture the two breaking down the track together live, interacting with one another…and you…as they kick out this great tune. Look for their new album, PG-13 Movie, via Punctum Records on October 28th, with a release show secured at Cheer Up Charlies.

Fresh Hit from Matthew and Me

Leave a comment

matthewI like starting off Monday’s with great pop music, and this Matthew and Me tune seems to be a fitting way to kick off our week. There’s a little tribal rhythm bubbling beneath the surface as the guitars twinkle in the front of the mix, allowing room for singer Matthew Board to drape his gentle voice over it. It all builds to the emphatic chorus, though I could use with a bit more volume, personally. You’ll probably enjoy this track, so look for it to appear on the band’s new Starpoint EP, released November 18th by Beatnik Creative.

Shimmering Pop from Best Friend

Leave a comment

bestfriendThis song hits right at the heart of my favorite genre, indiepop. You’ve got a bubbling bass line, reverb coated vocals and just hints of jangling shoegaze. It’s one of those uplifting tracks that’s made Best Friend such an enticing listen, and I like that he adds just a few seconds of something different beforethe 3minutemark to kind of get another gear in the mix. Can You Believe It is the title of the group’s debut album, which will see a Halloween release via Gezellig Records.

Brand New American Wrestlers

Leave a comment

americanI really enjoyed the first American Wrestlers effort, and now that they’re back, readying Goodbye Terrible Youth, I’m paying close attention. This tune’s interesting, as the vocals are delivered in a rather calm manner, almost as if they’re resting during the verses. Of course, that’s all purposeful as they explode during the chorus, which you can feel as the guitar builds tension throughout the track,ringing heavily in the background. Their new record is being handled by Fat Possum, with a release date of November 4th, just in case you needed to pencil in some time.

ATX Spotlight: More from Walker Lukens

Leave a comment

walkerNext week you’ll be able to get your hands on the delightful new EP from Walker Lukens, and before it comes out, you may as well give a listen to his brand new track . If you’ve been listening to Walker for a bit, as we all have, you’ll surely notice the broadening sound he’s adapted…not to mention studio time with Jim Eno. There’s just such a huge bit of energy to what he’s doing it at the moment, and I can’t see myself turning this song off today. He’s releasing the EP via our friends at Modern Outsider next Friday, with a rad show at ACL Ten to celebrate. Turn it up loud and enjoy yourself!

Premiere: Bubbles Brown Cover Nirvana (kind of)

Leave a comment

bubblesbrownI just wanted to grab your attention, as I think Bubbles Brown, knowing their style, are really covering Lead Belly. Sure, the Nirvana link gets a lot more attention, as radio stations won’t stop playing it, but now you have a more soulful version (as it was originally intended) to add to your collection. I love the sound of Bubbles here, pulling out the old school Southern drawl with his vocals; it’s refreshing to hear someone yank at the heartstrings and sound wholly refreshing. The two piece releasetheir brand new Oh Sure Volume One EPtoday, which will feature this nod, but don’t forget to revisit their recent release, Mt. Gilead too…you won’t wanna miss it.

Check Out These Sofar Sessions From Your ATH Faves

Leave a comment

athrecsY’all should know by now that the bands on Austin Town Hall Records are excellent, but in case you were having any doubts about that (you’re crazy) or were wanting more to love from these bands, you’re definitely in luck, as two of our very own have recorded live Songs From a Room sessions. Below, you can see the alt-country boys of Plantation do a rendition of “Your Bones” or catch the chill vibes of Summer Salt as they do a version of “Time Away From Home.” On “Your Bones” you get the bleeding emotional alt-country that Plantation does so well, and on “Time Away From Home,” Summer Salt go acoustic and allow the vocals to really soar. Take a listen and then go snag copies ofMostIntellectualand theGoing Native EP from the ATH Records Store.

Fresh El Campo Tunes

Leave a comment

elcampWe’re big fans of El Campo over here at ATH, and the band are giving away a few new hits today…so we figured you should take notice. The first is a newly pinned hit, building on the expansive sound the band have continuously built over their last few releases…adding depth to the current sound of Americana; the musicianship alone should warrant your ears. Then, they spin a new sound on Desaparecidos recent hit, “City on the Hill.” Honestly, this version is way better than the original, and the lyrics seem quite fitting to the band’s sound. They’re giving these tunes away, in hopes that you’ll be in love enough to come back for more…and I promise you will.
