Watch This New Video from 23:23

Leave a comment

2promo2323This week Soliti releases the trilogy from 23:23, which is the side-project of Rami Vierula, the frontman of Delay Trees.  I’ve really been captivated by the music in the three album, with Torero being my particular favorite…if I had to pick just one.  There’s this interesting emotion that comes from the collection of songs; it’s like drifting, floating along to the space created by construction of the songs.  There are some lo-fidelity bedroom tendencies, yet other moments burst forth with atmospheric noise; it all fits together, tying all the pieces together in perfect unison.  There’s a new video available today, which should give you further introduction into the world of 23: 23.

More From Little Children

Leave a comment

littleWe already introduced you to Stockholm based group Little Children last month and today we have even more new music to share.  New single “We’re Falling” is a genuine, easy going pop number for anyone needing some bright sounds and happiness in their day.  It maybe doesn’t have the rougher edges like many of the bands we typically promote, but I’m finding it catchy and uplifting regardless.  I’m sure you’ll find something to like as well.

Pick up new Traveling Through Darkness on June 2nd.

Pleased to Meet You: Snooty Garbagemen

Leave a comment

sgIt looks like 12XU has added another high voltage act to the stable, and I’m really excited to hear what exactly comes from new signing Snooty Garbagemen. Tom Triplett already has some links with the lable via The Blaxxx, but this new project already has an impacting sound that’s got me itching for the full-length.  The musical vibe is just a blasting rock n’ roll burst, and some might find it akin to Thee Oh Sees, with Triplett’s yelps…but, there’ seems to be much more control on the direction of this single.  The self-titled LP will be out on the label July 6th, and after last year, I’ll pretty much trust anything they put out.

Shivery Shakes/Bop English Tour Kickoff @ Cheer Ups (5/12)

Leave a comment

Shivery ShakesAs if two great bands weren’t enough for you all, you should go out and support a couple of great local acts getting ready to head out on tour.  You’ve got to fill their pockets with gold, buying merch and throwing spare change their way.  Shivery Shakes and Bop English are hitting the road, kicking off their respective tours with The Rotten Mangos, Texas Never Whispers, and The Inscape at Cheer Ups tonight. I’m still really proud of the Shakes album, Three Waves and a Shake, which you can grab right HERE; I’m happy to have my name associated with that LP. You can find all their tour dates right HERE, but if you’re living in Austin, head out and support all the bands tonight.

Have You Met the Domestics

Leave a comment

domeThere’s something to be said about a good pop song. It moves beyond genres and typical blogger tropes, moving into the territory where we find this new single from Portland’s The Domestics.  Opening slowly with a piano backbone and picked guitar chords, the song prepares you for the burst of sensational pop songwriting. That burst of melody and energy uplifts listeners immediately, begging you to start over again, just so you can get that feeling one more time. It’s a pop addicts dream, and one that should build your anticipation for the group’s forthcoming self-titled album on Tender Loving Empire come July 17th.

Show Pics: Crocodiles @ Holy Mountain (5/6)

Leave a comment

We are still catching up on unfinished business from last week. Psych Fest Levitation took over all things on Friday and I was stuck in prep mode before being able to post these pics from a lovely little show at Holy Mountain last week. We ran the Stephin Merritt shots from that night, Crocodiles is next up as we finish out our double-header night with jams. Along for the ride, we had Unknown Relatives and Que Pasa.

Click through for a few comments and more than a few pics…

It’s clearly no secret at this point, ATH has a love affair with Eternal Summers.  The pop tunes with that little bit of rawness around the edges creates some truly special moments for the band.  As the release date for their new album draws ever closer, let’s get in one more single to preview the material.  This one is called “Come Alive”.  Enjoy and happy Monday.

Don’t forget to pick up Gold and Stone out June 2nd on Kanine Records.

Mac DeMarco Strikes Again

Leave a comment

unnamed (2)Yesterday, I saw King Mac DeMarco at Levitation, and while that was probably one of the most joyful hours in my recent life, I was feeling a little bit of post-demarco-depression this morning when I woke up. That is, until I saw this new single from Mac Daddy, which put me back in a sunny place. This track, “The Way You’d Love Her,” is a subtle track off of the new mini LP, Another One, which is out August 7th from Captured Tracks. While I’m a fan of almost anything this zany character puts out, I’m really digging the soft vocal delivery here and almost a touch of genuine sentimentality from Mac and company. Take a listen and groove along.

White Reaper Kill it Again

Leave a comment

untitledMan White Reaper just seem to continually fly a little under the radar despite their stellar rock tunes.  We raved about the band last year after the release of a self-titled EP full of punk rock inspired sounds, catchy hooks, and loud guitars.  Nathan already shared with you new single “Make Me Wanna Die” back in April, and I’m pleased today to bring you new single “I Don’t Think She Cares”.  Let’s put it this way, if your Monday is dragging a little bit, spin this song a few times and all will be right in the world.

Don’t forget that new album White Reaper Does it Again is due out on July 17th via Polyvinyl.

New Part Time Track

Leave a comment

parttimeOne of the reasons I love listening to Part Time so much is that while there’s a consistent sound, there’s always some differentiation on his albums.  This new track has a Cali feel, which isn’t surprising considering his current location. The vocals on the track are a little bit hidden between the mix, but the melody that exists below is strong enough to make the song a standout, nonetheless.  Virgo’s Maze is the new album title, and it should definitely provide a nice mix of hit after hit; look for the record to be released on June 16th via Burger Records.
