Check Out A New Single From Snailosaur

Leave a comment

Brooklyn based group snailosaur hit our radar back in April with the release of their debut self-titled EP. Since then, we haven’t heard much from the brotherly duo until today with the release of yet another stunner with this new single called “Apartment Boxes (nyc poem).” This one hits me as a tune with a very intricate and deliberate instrumentation similar to a band like The National paired with the deepest of deep vocals akin to someone like Bill Callahan. It comes across as something immediately familiar, but also unique to the band and their layered sound.

 

Fieldrush Drop New Track “Jay Owen”

Leave a comment

We’re off and running with another busy week of quality tunes for you here on ATH and today I am pleased to share with you this new jam “Jay Owen” from the San Diego based outfit Fieldrush. While it might be labeled as post-emo to some, I think the band also offers a ton of energy and more traditional rock elements to pair with the somewhat slower moments. Ya also gotta feel the rhythm section on this one as the drums and bass absolutely slam together during the heaviest parts of the song. Check it out.

This song is part of a debut EP which does not yet have a release date so stay tuned.

Sun June Announce Bad Dream Jaguar

Leave a comment

Sun June‘s newest record should be absolutely huge, which comes as no surprise to those of us mucking about in the Austin music scene. Today, they announce Bad Dream Jaguar, with a single that serves as the perfect summary for their entire catalogue. If you lock into the rhythmic nature of the tune, it seemingly works as a sublime track to turn up as you head down the road; it has that movement naturally coursing through, particularly in the way the guitars are recorded too. But, with Laura Colwell’s vocals hanging loftily in the air, you can feel the oppressive heat of Texas and the need to just soak up the sheer size of the state. Personally, I love the noisy discord at the end, adding that devil-may-care attitude to their well-crafted blend of pop rock. Bad Dream Jaguar is out on October 20th via Run for Cover Records.

Fuckleberry Hinn Share Nobody Single

Leave a comment

Any band in this day and age willing to take on the heralded double LP deserve a medal, thus why I’m here to turn your attention towards Norway’s Fuckleberry Hinn. For me, this song works in multiple stages, almost taking on this dreaming pastoral vibe, with just a hint of cymbal work adding the slightest hint of percussion. Then there’s a slight plot twist underneath, adding in more texture while still trying to balance a bit of the melody. Some emphatic moments add some kick to the tune, illustrating the band’s willingness to build movement within the track; I just love the way it seems to kick on and stomp in here. If you’re enjoying this number, be sure to put Neither/Nor on your radar; it hits on September 1st.

Versing Announce Tape II, Share New Single

Leave a comment

Having been quite for the past 3 to 4 years, Versing returns this week with a brand new batch of songs for you to enjoy. This single, announcing both their new Tape II and a brief West Coast tour, really got me going. Opening with a wall bit of feedback, it quickly moved into the melodic territory, with a little bit of shoegaze underbelly working on those guitars. You can hear the cascading dreaminess of the guitars working their way, with these sort of sated vocals cresting down in the midst. Personally, it feels like Sonic Youth toning it down to play at a retirement home in the future…and I mean that in the best way! Tape II drops Friday, and they’ll be running form Vancouver to San Fran starting that same day!

Pale Blue Eyes Share Spaces

Leave a comment

Totnes, UK based Pale Blue Eyes really hit a chord with me over the last year with a string of singles showcasing a band who really know what it means to be indie pop. As if all the other tunes I’ve shared weren’t enough reason to love this band, here is yet another gem from them with this indie pop banger called “Spaces.” For this band, it just almost seems effortless at this point for them to pump out this poppy, twee hits and I am here for it.

This track is part of the band’s new album entitled This House which is due out September 1st via Full Time Hobby. Pre-orders are live now.

Lovely New Tune From English Teacher

Leave a comment

While Leeds United languish in The Championship this year, locals have to find a way to stay in good spirits and put a positive spin on things. While I honestly have no clue if the Leeds based outfit English Teacher follow the football club, their new song, “The World’s Biggest Paving Slab,” has offered me a beacon of hope for the area. It displays a level of brightness and light paired with just a few touches of edge here and there to really keep in tune with that Leeds’ spirit. Come on lads.

This new track is out now via the band’s new label Island Records.

Single Lash Announce Ladida

Leave a comment

I’ve been screaming from the ATH mountaintop about Single Lash years; they’ve been one of the only true gothic leaning bands in town…and they’re just absolutely huge live. With news of Ladida hitting, I really couldn’t wait to have some time to press play, and sit with the weight of this tune. There’s this heavy resonance here, with the band’s patience paying off huge dividends as it lets you just soak in the vast depths; I feel like its the musical equivalent of a late night bubble bath by candlelight. Rodolfo’s drumming is stellar, pounding out those machine gun fills, and Nicolas’ voice continues to mature with time, giving me chills when he delivers the line “ooh, what times is it there” with a faint quiver. They release Ladida on October 13th!

Bed Bits Announce New LP, Share Ceiling

Leave a comment

Monday’s have a tendency to make you feel out of whack a bit, and what better way to start new music this week then this bewildering bit of bedroom pop from Bed Bits. There’s definitely a steadiness to the tune, be it the ringing guitars or the snappy cymbal work, but the little nuances lurking beneath really burrowed into my head today. There’s a buzzing sax as the guitars churn emphatic notes, only for a bit of a dissonant tone to kind of take control as Alex Edgeworth lets the vocals rain down carefully from the skies. There are moments when the speed of the guitars feels like its going to run right off, only for it to settle right back into the locked groove that enables the tune to run laps around the inside of your mind. As for the video treatment, the constant change of colors matches the vibrant musical textures, all of it tying together seamlessly. If you’re digging it, a self titled LP drops on September 27th via I’m Into Life Records.

Last Week’s Jams (8.7 – 8.11)

Leave a comment

Admittedly, we might have outdone ourselves last week; I’m fairly certain I’m the one to blame. Somehow, we tossed up 40 songs, though a few are unavailable in the streaming sites, so you’ve only got 38 tracks on this week’s playlist. There’s a ton of Austin stuff, with new music from Daiistar, Semihelix, Half Dream and more…obligatory A Giant Dog is in there and such. Plus, still continuously impressed by the magic that is Prewn. Oh, and Australia’s buzzing at the moment, and their music isn’t half-bad either, with new tracks from the Small Intestines and Soft Covers being considered as must listens. So, if you’ve got an hour or two to kill…go on and stream!
