PYAITK: I Dig This New Division Track

Leave a comment

We first featured The New Division a few years back with a track called “Opium”. While they have sent out some work recently, this one stuck with me. The new record Gemini is being released June 2nd and “Copycat” has been my favorite thing previewed so far. It is the synthy goodness I fall sucker to with bass-lines that evolve from disco to wave and darker progressions, eliciting M83 and all bands that influenced them.

So I share, because I care.

Show Preview: Sungod @ Red 7 (5.22)

Leave a comment

showLooking forward towards the weekend, as we all are, there’s a show that should be on your radar, making your list of must attend shows.  Sungod, who many missed (due to rain) at Levitation, will be playing Friday night at Red 7.  If I were to describe their sound, I’d throw it into the original landscape of organic psychtronica; it’s an entrancing sound that deserves your attention…and it’s only $5. Plus, the opening line-up of Crawl, Thousand Foot Whale Claw and Gods Gun.  Personally, I’m looking forward to the sounds of Gods Gun, who’ve been rather mysterious, though the band have prominent members about town such as Jose from Ssleeperhold/Boan. Want a show that explores some new sonic territory? Bring $5 and show up early for all the bands!

Hazy Rock From Stonefield

Leave a comment

11044964_967184786625430_3994156824728105663_nThe ladies of Stonefield hail from the small rural town of Victoria, Australia and have been rocking since 2006. This new song below, “Golden Dream” shows their loud and noisey rock and roll approach, balanced by the wispy and sugary vocals. What’s good about this track is the simple, yet still able to give you a solid rocking out. Apparently, this is the first of more to come from these ladies from a potential new album, so keep your ears and eyes on full alert.

New Track From Ultimate Painting

Leave a comment

ultimateWe’ve been fans of Ultimate Painting for a little while now, so naturally we’d like to share with you this new track from the band called “Break The Chain.” On this number, you get the same kind of laid back dreamy pop that you’re used to from the band, but you’ll find that’s not a bad thing at all. This smooth number that will have you swaying to and fro comes from the band’s highly anticipated sophomore record, Green Lanes  which will be released August 7th via Trouble In Mind.

Enjoy This Little Racer Tune

Leave a comment

lr_portrait2_andrewsegretiSometimes songs can be really hard to resist, and this little jam “Jack Knife” from Little Racer is one of those songs I’m finding irresistible today.  When we get right down to it, I doubt many folks would disagree with me when I say this track is so easy to like and full of every bit of all the great things about pop music.  I dare you to play it only once.

Little Racer have a new EP entitled Foreign Tongues due out on June 16th via Papercup Music.

ATX Spotlight: Orthy Covers Tom Petty

Leave a comment

OrthyYep, another cover, another day.  But, Austin’s Orthy don’t just cover Tom Petty’s “Listen to Her Heart,” they totally reimagine the song itself, leaving no resemblance of the original save the lyrics.  There’s these dark electronic pulses during the chorus, while the remainder of the song is a smoothed-out electro croon.  The song features on a digital release that just came out this week via Dither Down, allowing listeners the chance to also listen to various remixes from the group’s E.M.I.L.Y. EP, which we raved about last year.  Give it a listen, and enjoy your day just a little better.

Skittle Alley Unleash Two More Demos

Leave a comment

skittlesCan these guys release an album already! Earlier this year we were treated to a nice little studio demo of a new Skittle Alley tune, and just yesterday they unleashed two more great tunes in the demo version; they have me, as well as other indiepop fans aching for the group’s new album. One of the tunes is an oldie that was recorded, while the other just seems to be a beautiful new piece that will hopefully appear from the band later.  It doesn’t matter where or when really, as we should spend the rest of our day just appreciating these delightful tunes, so here you go.

Grunge Pop From Franky Flowers

Leave a comment

10988325_1610313425864842_1388397097689672816_oWho doesn’t love those grungey pop songs that remind you of yesteryear? Well, this track from Franky Flowers is sure to get you feeling loads of nostalgia today with their fuzzed out sound. “Sneakers” has sort of a Modest Mouse feel to it, with both its twangy and heavy guitars; the song is a mix between meandering pop and grunged out rock and roll. I’m digging this track, which was just recently released as an EP you can pick up here.

Why Not Post This Kid Wave Song?

Leave a comment

11062747_867581376647306_8640502923917984062_oKid Wave are on the cusp of releasing their first full-length record, and from the sound of the singles they’ve been putting out, including the one below, you don’t wanna miss out on this London act. “Best Friend” has Kid Wave at their best: slacker indie rock that’s just laid back enough to seem easy, but when you listen closely, you’ll hear the level of nuance that this band of youths bring to that genre. The deep set vocals of Lea Emmery are paired nicely with some cutting electric guitar, which follow each other through the song. Wonderlust is out June 1st via Heavenly Recordings.
