The result is a dance-able groove, with a catchy chorus to get you singing along.

Here’s Another Cool Ghouls Tune

Leave a comment

coolzWe’re just a few weeks away from the release of Animal Races, the latest LP from Cool Ghouls, and they’re finally sharing what I think is one of the record’s standout tunes. The upbeat vibe was apparent back on their self-titled release in 2013, but I think they’ve fleshed it out and improved the production a bit. Don’t get lost on the opening half’s lyrical vibe, as the majority of the track is just this great psychedelic jam, circling back in the latter half to close the song out with another vocal flourish. Weirdly, I also hear a nod to Television in there. Empty Cellar will release the album on August 19th, so be ready to grab a copy.

Stunning New Sat. Nite Duets Tune

Leave a comment

satniteduetsIt takes a lot to come out with a track that doesn’t fit in anywhere, yet appeals to everyone; I got that vibe when I played this Sat. Nite Duets tune for the first time. For the most part, the track takes on a somber bone, accented by the quivering vocal performance. But, there are beautiful voices out there, so in order to build upon that, the band have included bits of sax and strings to surround the voice as it enters your ears. Their album Air Guitar will be released by Father Daughter Records on September 16th, giving us all something more than your average fare to enjoy.

More New Music from Gorgeous Bully

Leave a comment

gorgeousbullyThis new track from Gorgeous Bully comes with an explanation from Art Is Hard Records; it’s a new song that doesn’t have a home quite yet, but merely meant to hold fans, like myself, over while the silly record plants work out getting the label the new GB/Something Anorak Split 7″ finished. The tune itself is actually pretty simple, but it illustrates why the songwriting of GB has gotten to me these last few years; it reminds me of the simplistic approach that Wavves used, just happier, making you feel good about your spot in life. Rebecca of Whorish Boorish also does some nice backing vocals on the track. Some very limited copies of the 7″ are available HERE.

Bright Pop from The Chairman Dances

Leave a comment

thechairmandancesSomething familiar lurks in the sounds/songwriting of The Chairman Dances. Part of me hears bits of Allo Darlin or Austin’s Hollywood Gossip, but I also can hear a touch of Mountain Goats, though spun in a more pop direction. It’s an approach I’m definitely enjoying, bordering the line’s between folk tradition and indiepop joy, and I always appreciate such exuberance. They have a new album titled Time Without Measure coming out on August 26th via Black Rd Records, so give this tune a listen.

Golden Suits Will Change Your Day

Leave a comment

d6755dd4-9469-4235-a207-4671d7614a9eMany folks on the interwebs have been talking about Fred Nicolaus and his new project known as Golden Suits recently. Fred is known primarily for his work with Department of Eagles, but now he’s ready to make a name for himself on his own. He’s absolutely killing me today with this new track “Gold Feeling”. I suggest you play this one a few times as it seems to get better and better with each and every listen. It’s clearly folk inspired while still giving you an incredible overall pop experience. Prepare to fall in love.

Golden Suits will drop Kubla Khan on October 7th via Hit City U.S.A.

Bright and Sunny Single From Beauty Sleep

Leave a comment

unnamed (2)As I continue to bring you a few more songs of summer right before the season ends, this new tune “Living Right” by Belfast natives Beauty Sleep should fit that summer playlist. Imagine if you will Beach House had a baby with a crossbreed child of Rainer Maria and Pains of Being Pure at Heart and that’s about what we have here. Hopefully those comparisons will make a bit of sense to you music fans out there. I’m loving it. You’ll be able to download this new single from all major outlets on August 12th. Stay tuned.

Goodbye Fortuna Pop: A Love Letter

Leave a comment

fortuna-pop-637x358Ever since I first started collecting music as a passion, I’ve always been one of those that blindly follows the labels I love; I buy anything they put out, whether or not I was initially impressed with what I heard…I trust these people. It probably started with Dischord, somehow merged into Saddle Creek and Vagrant…then the Internet exploded…and with that, so did my tastes. I had to find a new label to love…among those was Fortuna Pop. Read more

Get Groovy With This New Mild High Club Video

Leave a comment

Oh man, are you in for a treat. We know it’s hot and we’re in the thick of the dog days of summer down here in the ATX, but I’ve got the perfect track/video that will help you cool off. Mild High Club are a psychedelic slack band that should have your attention immediately. Once you start to listen to the song below and watch the video, you’ll be lulled into a daze of pleasant, laid back, vibes. The guitars trill through tweely, while the vocals are hazy and, well, mild. The chorus employs some jazzy percussion that begs for minimal subtle summer shimmying. All in all, it’s a tune worthy of your ears, so take a listen and get excited for their album with the same as this track, Skiptracing, which will be out August 26th via Stones Throw Records. Preorder it here.

13568937_313983955603768_8798916160693826690_oNYC’s Cheena are on their way to releasing a new album at the end of this week, but before they get there, they’ve got a new track to throw your way. This track, “Lost My Way,” which is below, is a fuzzy, grumbling example of great glam rock. The percussion glitters and jingles through, while the guitars snarl and spin menacingly for the duration of the tune. Take a listen, fall in love with the rock goodness here, and then get stoked forSpend the Night With…which is out August 5th via Sacred Bones Records.
