Girls Names Ready New Album

March 27, 2018 nathan.lankford Leave a comment

Oh Girls Names, how we’ve missed you. The long time ATH fave has just announced their return with this dense new single, opening with this brooding post-punk for almost two minutes before vocals even enter the picture. Honestly, there’s not a whole lot of movement following that, but I love the group’s ability to evoke maximum emotion with such simple structures. I can even hear a slight King Krule influence on the way the vocals come across during the verses. It’s an interesting entry into an already stellar catalog, so I look forward to seeing what comes out of it all when Stains on Silence is released on June 15th via Tough Love.

Heat Offer Us Something A Little Bit Different

April 13, 2015 nathan.lankford Leave a comment

Not sure exactly what it is about this song, but the four dudes in Heat have concocted something both enchanting and strange. I think it’s the delivery of the vocals, laid out in a matter of fact manner, that really changes the dynamic of this track. You’ll hear a throbbing bass line and shimmering guitars working their way in and out of this tune, but it’s all set as the background for the spoken word story being given to listeners. The Montreal group will release their Rooms EP on May 4th via Kitsune.
