Dancer Announce Debut LP on Meritorio Records

Leave a comment

If you tinker around with the Glasgow music scene, the members of Dancer should be obvious, as it has folks from bands like Robert Sotelo and Nightshift, among others, meaning the band already comes in with built in promise. In a nod towards Heath Ledger, they’ve titled their debut 10 Songs I Hate About You, and now shared a new single to entice you to listen. Musically, they’re crafting a style that’s not too far off from their name, but sort of in an anti-dance fashion; the bass line walks you back and forth, sort of like a one-foot-two-foot hopscotch shuffle. Gemma Fleet’s voice hits sharply, as musical elements pulse in and out of your speaker behind the vocals, creating this mesmerizing bit of anti-pop. Really been looking forward to hearing the band’s full length; it drops via Meritorio Records on March 15th.

Canalss Share $$$ Eyes Single

Leave a comment

Florida’s Canalss have graced these pages from time to time over the last year, and with their debut LP on the horizon with Zerowell Records, I’m really stoked to share their latest single below. In a lot of ways, it sounds like the world of Bright Eyes circa Every Day and Every Night, but spun through the lens of the legend we call “Florida-man.” It’s got a bit of absurdity and outsider syndrome, but there’s something about the magic within the confines of it all that draws you into the intimate little corners of the song where secrets are revealed. If you’ve dug on anything from Coma Cinema to Elf Power to Conor Oberst, you’re going to really fall in love below. Done Sleeping is out March 1st.

Veronicavon Share Party Single

Leave a comment

Supreme Billy Madison fans Veronicavon are readying their forthcoming LP, Deep End, with the latest single prepped to ease you into your Friday listening routine. The tune has a steady march to it, carefully utilizing a continuous groove that locks you into the track as you turn the volume up. Naturally, there’s a building tension throughout the song, but, Xuan Nguyen’s vocals allow the track to hang in a stationary setting, focusing on the wordplay and the vibe of what they’re trying to get you to enjoy. It’s low key in the best way, so look for Deep End to drop on February 9th via Born Losers.

The Pheromoans Share New Single, Announce New LP

Leave a comment

I have a tendency to fall in love with music that seems like it doesn’t give a shit. Now, that doesn’t mean that the Perhomoans don’t give a shit about you or about how good their songs are, it just means they embrace this cooled indifference that allows them to exist in your pocket, ready to be shared with your closest musical allies. This new single feels like the best single that Robert Pollard never wrote. There’s clarity in the mix, which really allows the listener to focus on the personal narration of the vocals. Guitars turn on a dime, wrapping themselves around every beat and word. Honestly, it’s one of those things where its so good you can’t even describe it, you just feel how good it is. The band release Wyrd Psearch on March 1st via Upset the Rhythm.

Careen Share Last Winter Video

Leave a comment

Even after running this site for nearly 15 years now, there’s still just so much music to discover that you’ve got rely upon friends to keep you in the loop now and then. For me, that’s how I heard about Careen, when a friend sent an email encouraging us to listen to this new EP; the email name-checked Unwound, among others, so having just recently seen them, I was like yeah, lets do this! My two cents to offer is that the tune works in two phases; a traditional underground fare then a bit of sonic exploration. I gravitated towards the immediacy of the first phase, as the vocalist in the verses sounds like classic Thurston, up until the emphatic vocal bursts tear through speakers. That back side toys with the same sonic territory, but it’s employing space and limited vocal bits to let the tune completely evolve into its own realm. Cool jams, so look for Cycle 3 on February 23rd via Death Metal Florida.

Pale Lights Announce Waverly Place

If you’re a pop fan, or you followed us on our cassette release for Love Burns, you’ve got Pale Lights on your radar. Now you’ve got reason to celebrate, as the band just announced a collection of singles and 7″ tracks, combining them all in a compilation titled Waverly Place. So, this tune below is not a technically a brand new single, but a celebration of the great work that Pale Lights have accomplished in their time; you’ll find this track originally on the Seance for Something EP from 2016, which can inevitably lead you down a trail of great pop tunes, courtesy of Phil Sutton and friends. Waverly Place is out on Jigsaw Records/KUS this Friday!

The Umbrellas Share One More Single

Leave a comment

Fairweather Friend is out in a few weeks, so if you haven’t grabbed a copy of the latest LP from the Umbrellas, we suggest you get behind it, particularly for those adhering to the world of exuberant indiepop. Their last single before the new record rushes in with a furious roll of the drums before jangling guitar lines hit your eardrums. Success in this tune revolves around the band’s employment of juxtaposed harmonizing; vocalists trading back and forth then uniting creates a dizzying world of pop that’s begging you to get lost inside. Join us in getting lost in the new LP, which drops January 26th via Slumberland.

Torrey Share No Matter How + Announce Debut for Slumberland Records

Leave a comment

It’s going to be a busy day on the Slumberland front, as there’s rumor of a fresh Umbrellas tune floating about today as well, but for now, let’s turn our attention to the label’s newest signee (that we know of), Torrey. With a handful of solid releases under their belt (check out Something Happy), the group present us with the first single from their self-titled LP. Hazy washes of guitar sweep you in immediately, letting the vocal melodies seep through the speakers; the tune would be a fine-enough track at this point. Yet, they’re not satisfied, jumping down on the pedals to hit you with a wall of noise, still centered around sweetened vocal delicacies. You’ll even find a nice little musical oasis in the middle, breezy and light, illustrating just how much work the band have put into these new songs. Torrey will be released on March 8th!

The Infinites Share The Queen

Leave a comment

One of my most anticipated Austin record this year is the forthcoming LP from the Infinites. We’ve already hyped up their super “The Expat” single, and they’re raising the bar on this new one. Musically, the track feels like a ship at sea, rocking back and forth in the crafty groove the band have created. Steadying the ship, however, is Jared Leibowich (an ATHR alum!), with his voice shining its majesty atop as it guides the band’s pop sensibility. There’s several moments when the band locks in here, throwing out a rocking guitar solo just to flex the stellar musicianship on the stage. You’re going to want to grab Archetypes; it drops via Meritorio on February 16th.

New Single From Slow Hollows

Leave a comment

It’s been a bit of a slog for me to get back into the swing of things here in the new year, but I am finally starting to open my ears to some fresh tunes for 2024. Los Angeles based artist Austin Feinstein, who records under the moniker Slow Hollows, has this fresh new tune called “Idle Hands” available today for your enjoyment. After right on three years since we last heard from him, this is a welcome return from Feinstein. His familiar deep voice pairs well with his sort of indie folk rock tunes.

Slow Hollows will release a new album entitled Bullhead on Marth 8th via Danger Collective.
