Catchy Pop Tune from Lame Drivers

Leave a comment

Lame Drivers hadn’t been on my radar up until this single crossed my desk, but you can bet that I’ll be sure keeping my ears on the band, as they’re on a run or catchy pop numbers. This one kind of finds the band straddling that ground between the Mats and Superchunk; its got a little bit of a snarl to it, though you can definitely hear the band’s penchant for pop numbers lurking about. I love the cool little pop curl that comes in just before the 3 minute mark, bringing in a nice little hook before the song goes hopping down the road. Happy Tuesday!

Catchy Pop Number From Sir Bobby Jukebox

Leave a comment

Though you may not know the name, Brisbane based Sir Bobby Jukebox, is definitely a guy you know us or from other music sites. Most of his time has been spent with his ATH approved band No Monster Club, be he’s also spent time with Grand Pocket Orchestra and Paddy Hanna. Basically, the dude is busy. Well now the magical music man is stepping out on his own with his first music as a completely solo musician. He’s offered this song “You Only Dance” as a preview for what he’s been working on and I’m immediately drawn into the catchy as hell beats and fun vibe. Though it clocks in at over 7 minutes, you will be finding yourself sucked in and engaged for the tracks entirety.

Pop Ditty from Tara Beier

Leave a comment

Every time I listen to this Tara Beier‘s latest single I am taken back to “To the East” by Electrelane. Beier’s voice has the same fragility, nearly shattering inside of your ears, carefully resting atop the calming bob of the song. The jangling guitars spin you around too, lightly twirling with this really steady beat behind to sort of right the ship and add the slightest bit of natural momentum. It’s one of those songs where the more you listen the more you love it, which means you’ll have plenty of time to fall in love before her new album drops in February of next year via Manimal.

Tan Cologne Share First Single

Leave a comment

I’ve always been a fan of Lauren Green’s songwriting, whether that was as part of Mirror Travel or some of her solo work; she’s now teamed up with friend Marissa Macias to form Tan Cologne. The two met while hanging out in Taos, New Mexico, which fits into the narrative of this song in particular; it feels like driving through the roads of New Mexico, almost blurring the lines between the track’s sonic and visual approaches, drifting about with the ebbs and flows. The duo will be releasing their debut album, Cave Vaults on the Moon in New Mexico via Labrador Records (which, to me, is huge!). They’ve got a handful of shows in November, including a few Austin dates for Levitation.

Have a Nice Weekend

Looking for something a little different for your weekend? There is plenty happening. If you want to have some solid foodtruck snacks while listening to DJs play the beats, check out Piknik Electronik. A friend went to the party up in Montreal, said it was fantastically run and made for a pleasant weekend that ratchets up in BPM as the sun goes down. Tickets are available at the door, the whole thing happens at Auditorium Shores.

Soccer, erm football, fan? I’ll be at Scholtz’s for the NBCSN Premier League Mornings Live Fan Fest in my prized Tottenham third kit and Spurs scarf. #COYS

Finally, a good friend to ATH has some sweet jams available to add to your playlists. Orthy is back with the Austin Disco Synth Pop sounds you love. “Your Spell” is the first song back in five years Ian and team. The full-length Fable Living is due in January. Hang with this jam as it evolves and gets layered up.

Pop Ditty from Yaglander

Leave a comment

It doesn’t take much to hook me these days; I just need a nice bouncing rhythm and a lightly jangling guitar to come and grab me by the ears. Yaglander is the project of Joel McConkey, former member of Lost Dawn, who made a nice little name for themselves. This is our first listen to his forthcoming EP, and man, it’s just perfect; there’s these little keyboard flares in the way way off background that I can feel reeling me in deeper. Plus, his vocals have that super cool indifference; it’s got just the right curl of rock n’ roll attitude. Keep a look out on this here.

The Just Joans Share Striking Single

Leave a comment

I’m a big Just Joans fan, and when the Glasgow popped back up a few years ago, I was really excited, clamoring for the new hits. Today, a new song popped up on the Internet, so why not point you in that direction. At first take, I immediately thought the band were covering the Magnetic Fields; it’s a slow moving pop number built on the Katie Pope’s vocals and the arrangements behind her. It’s just a perfect little nugget; there’s no need for any percussion, as Pope carries the song in striking fashion; I will admit to being drawn to the horn work hanging out in the distant background. No release date as of yet, but it looks like Fika Recordings will be handling this release.

Cool Tune from Baston

Leave a comment

One of the hot new French labels I’ve been keeping an eye on is Howlin Banana Records, and they’ve just announced their newest release from Baston. The band brandishes this sort of propulsive post-punk, hanging out these angular guitar lines to sort of dance around thin air. In the vocals, you get this sort of darkened echo; it sort of hangs out on the outside of the tune, almost as if it was a third-person narrator setting the scene. I love how it feels heavy and powerful, yet still has this melodic underbelly that holds the tune together. Primates will be out November 29th.

Stream New EP From Martian Subculture

Leave a comment

I took a liking to Limerick City based Evan O’Malley and his project known as Martian Subculture a few months ago with the release of his single “All Emotions Are Equal”. Since that time, O’Malley has dropped a few other singles in preparation for an entire EP of new material. Today we are pleased to share with you his new EP, Mars, for your streaming pleasure. I find it incredibly impressive that this is largely a one man recording with the many layers and instruments found on each track. At times you’ll find a bit of shoegaze, but also some chillwave, and some splashes of R&B here and there. Basically, the Mars EP has a little bit of something for everyone.
