ATX Spotlight: Brand New Roaring Sun Track

Leave a comment

roaringsunIf you’ve been following us, we’ve been following Roaring Sun, the newest young act in Austin to really win us over. The trio of youngsters, first started by the Rawlinson brothers, are still so young that they’re willing to throw in all their influences to see what sticks. We’re fortunate for that, as they’re crafting this delightful pop bits that look ready to build a promising career. This song has some electronic touches, washes of distorted guitars and a softness in the vocals that makes your heart swoon. But, the special part of this new single comes right after the 3 minute mark when they break into this elaborate pop world akin to Grizzly Bear. I continue to be impressed by how quickly these guys have come around. Keep an eye out Austin…and beyond.

Hear the Latest from Cory Hanson

Leave a comment

coryCory Hanson spends the majority of his time kicking it in his band Wand, but he’s recently been working on the release of his solo effort, The Unborn Capitalist from Limbo. While there are hints of similarities to his main project, I think the orchestration in this new single demonstrates how much he’s elevated his sound. The utilization of strings provides the perfect balance to the way his voice creakily unfolds. Drag City will be unleashing the new album on November 11th, so you’ve got time to invest in Cory’s new project before making a decision.

Digging Pauwel de Meyer

Leave a comment

pauwelMonday’s are for being uplifted, and I reckon you should start with Pauwel de Meyer‘s newest single. It’s a pretty straight ahead indie rock track, with just a bit of guitar noodling. But, I think the harmony created by de Meyer is what continues to make my morning better; the way the tones raise when he repeats “am I doing alright” tug at ye old heartstrings. Right now, we’re just throwing this out there as a one off single, but we’re hoping that the promise shown here brings us more from Pauwel in the very near future.

Premiere: Meet Upper Deck Pets

Leave a comment

upperdeckUsually you reserve Saturday for Twitter and nonsense, but for all our Austin readers, and those just browsing the Internet, I had to introduce you to Upper Deck Pets. The band has is comprised of bits of local favorite Milezo and Marmalakes, and if this is their first single, we’re in for a whole lot of great tunes! It opens quickly with this guitar line that moves back and forth, filled with a layer of fuzz. The vocals get delivered quickly, then they take on a croon as the guitars get heavier and build back into the rhythmic pulse of tune; it all fades into a bit of experimental noise as the track closes. I’m not going to lie…this tune is addicting, and deserves to be the start to your Saturday.

You get an added bonus as the band releases a tape single with their friends smith+robot tomorrow night over at Sahara Lounge! Doors are at 7…buy local.

More from The Wedding Present

Leave a comment

weddingIf you’ve been paying attention out there, you knew that Going Going, the newest album from The Wedding Present, was making its way to US shores. That’s important, as HHBTM Records will be releasing it here, but it’s also important to the narrative of the album, as the 20 songs were all written or based off a US road trip. Plus, each song is accompanied by a short film, which hopefully documents the trip itself. But, we’ll have to wait until November 18th to see, though in the meantime, jam this just released tune! It’s titled “Two Bridges,” which if you listen to the track below seems to be two wholly different bridges. Listen and find out why I say that.

Brand New Indiepop from Desario

Leave a comment

desarioWhen the music world goes stale, you can always count on the fact that there’s a great indiepop band out there just crafting wonderful tunes. Luckily for us, Test Pattern Records and Desario have six great new tunes! The label releases the Haunted EP, the second EP from the band this year, and there’s not a miss on this one. I think the bubbling pop of “Formula One” is my current favor, though when I started writing this little blurb, I was completely digging the shimmering sounds of “Wayside.” If you want something charming on your Friday, then you need look no further than Desario and their latest batch of hits.

He’s going to be releasing a new album on November 7th calledScene Missing, which will be a follow up to his first two albums. This track, “Alive,” puts Sundayman on your radar for upcoming releases– it’s a dark groove of hazy electronic music that slowly builds up over the course of its four minutes. Take a listen and enjoy below, then go pre-order the new album via Inner Ear Records.

We Leave at Midnight Offer New Tune

Leave a comment

Processed with MOLDIVThose of you looking back towards a more “classic” indie rock sound should stop and press play on this new tune from We Leave at Midnight. It’s a song that carefully sucks you in by layering voices and instruments, almost like a 60s texturing. Then the minute mark comes in, bounce kicks in and the song takes off, wrapping hooks around your hears so tightly they’ll never let you walk away from this song. The San Antonio group break things down in and out of the closing moments, tinkering with bits of piano to fulfill the textural promise. Texas is Funny Records will be releasing the band’s new album, The Holy Rolling Flower Band, on December 9th.

Late to the Party: New Music from TYVEK

Leave a comment

tyvekThis track got some love last week from those super cool kids over at P4K, but I wanted to give it some space, as I’m a huge TYVEK fan. The song opens with this brooding bit of guitar and hints of feedback. It all makes way for a sort of spoken word vocal approach, which calls to mind Parquet Courts a bit, but it ends up just leaving this haunting echo hanging out in your head space. It’s this sprawling piece of dark, calming rock, unwilling to sacrifice the approach; it leaves you mesmerized, thirsting for more, which is why I’ll be picking up Origin of What on November 4th via In the Red Records.
