Weirdo Glam Rock From Savoy Motel

Leave a comment

unnamed-57Savoy Motel are a new(ish) group that going to be releasing their debut album soon, and today they’ve shared the second single from said album. “Sorry People” is a 70s inspired glam rock boogie tune that will have you donning your bell bottoms and feathering your hair. You’ll pick up on this vibe pretty much as soon as you press play on the track below– the guitars are very much reminiscent of 70s Bowie a-la “Fame,” but the dueling male/female vocals really kick the song into a different sound as the song goes on. Take a listen and find out what you think about Savoy Motel.

Savoy Motelwill be out October 21st onWhat’s Your Rupture? Records.

Another Scott and Charlene’s Wedding Hit

Leave a comment

scottandcharleneYep, this song rules. I think I’m in love with the direction Scott & Charlene’s Wedding are going, after offering up a pop hit from their new album…they turn to this more ramshackle ground. Now, that being said, there’s still some inherent pop sensibility, though with rougher edges…like a long lost TV Personalities track…or maybe early Parquet Courts for those just now catching on to things. This song features on the band’s new album, Mid Thirties Single Scene, which is being released by Fire Records on September 2nd.

Cyrus Gengras Shares Soft Toned Garage Tune

Leave a comment

unnamed-56You may know Cyrus Gengras from his touring support for artists like Jessica Pratt or Kevin Morby, but perhaps you’ve never heard of his solo efforts. Recently, Gengras decided to set out on his own and record some tracks that show off his garage inspired songwriting skills. The result, as you can sample below with the track, “Other Side,” is a blast of americana-rock that rides on the mellow mood that it dwells in. However, this track is more than just a mellow groove– as the vocals of Gengras have this infectious quality to them that keep you engrossed in the tune. Take a listen and if you like what you’re hearing, be sure to pre-order the cassette release he’s got coming for you on Death Records.

Upbeat Pop from Lion’s Den

Leave a comment

lionsdenI’ve got a soft spot for Swedish bands, and it looks like I’ll be adding Lion’s Den to the mix. They offer up a nice little blend of jagged pop rock…think the Hives but far less frantic. They’re working on their full-length at the moment, so they’ve tossed out this early teaser to get you anticipating their work. I’m partial to the instrumental jam that comes in the song’s latter half, building you up to fall back in love with the memorable hook of the final chorus. Feel like this is a good day to get back into the swing of the week. Look for their full length from Lazy Octopus Records.

Dreamy Pop From Hazel English

Leave a comment

12002582_1498974033754457_8499868247937911734_oHazel English, out of Oakland, California, is back once again with her angelic vocals and dreamy mix of pop. She has recently announced that she is releasing an EP in the not-too-distant future, and it’s calledNever Going Home. You can find this track, “I’m Fine,” on that upcoming record, as well as a few others, and you can pre-order it from her website or Rough Trade Records.What I like about this song is the simple, yet completely entrancing brand of dream pop that you find. It’s a quiet, folksy tune, but one that will make you press repeat again and again.

Short Blast of Brilliance from DD Owen

Leave a comment

ddowenIn under a matter of minutes the new DD Owen tune accomplishes more than many of the other songs you’ll hear today, or shit, even this year. It’s an infectious little ditty filled with self-deprecation, but enough punk attitudeto let all your friends know just how cool you are.Unlike many of Owen’s rock n’ roll peers, perhaps what stands out to me the most in my twelve repeated listensis how huge the song sounds…sometimes the value of a recording makes the cream rise to the top, which is where this song is staying. Look for the self-titled DD Owen album on September 30th via 12XU.

Pure Joy from No Monster Club

Leave a comment

NMC_SLEEVE_PICThere’s a genre of music that’s undefined. That sort, like this new No Monster Club, doesn’t ask that you put it carefully in a box; instead, it begs you let your walls down and immerse yourself in pure enjoyment. For starters, you won’t find this new tune as your regular run-of-the-mill sort, so that’s already a bonus. Ultimately, you’re just going to leave your listening experience with a smile upon your face and enough inner joy to carry you through the rest of your day. The heralded Irish act is set to release their first ever Stateside EP via Emotional Response on September 16th…Pre-orders HERE.

Digging This No Nets Tune

Leave a comment

nonets_nonetsEver wonder what would fill the void left by Conor Oberst‘s adventure into a mystic valley? Well, I like to think that No Nets fill in that place nicely. There’s a similarity in the warble/quiver of the vocals, though these are quite possibly less grating (I mean that in a good way!). The music itself is a little bit more heavy-handed, filling in big riffs rather than careful string arrangements, providing a much needed punch to youthful me exuberance. On October 21st the Brooklyn bunch will release Bright Light, so stay tuned for more of this goodness.

Another One From Over Sands

Leave a comment

over-sands-press-photo-2Man these dudes in London based Over Sands continue to impress me as they release more and more new music. Only about a month ago we heard new track “Memory House” and now they’ve given meyet another beauty called “Woke up Haunted”. It’s sort of like if Grizzly Bear and Efterklang got together to make bright, soaring, and downright enchanting pop music. Keep ’em coming.

Over Sands has delayed the release of their new EP Roman Rooms, which will now be released on September 2nd.

Winter Gives You Hazy Dream Pop

Leave a comment

12898413_1072095462853472_9211509512580337055_o-2Winter are a four piece out of L.A. who are making dream pop that’ sounds as though it’s been deeply coated in a thick layer of fog. The song that’s below, “Wherever You Are,” unfolds slowly, with the whirling synths occupying the song for a bit before the vocals join in. When the vocals finally do come in, you begin to be lulled into a sort of hypnotic trance; the elements all combine to create a beast of a song that will ensnare your attention with its out-of-this-world pop.
