More Music from Lowly

Leave a comment

This new Lowly track is another example of why the band is quickly making a name for themselves in our neck of the woods. Tight percussion works beneath a wash of synthesizers as the heavenly vocals fill in the rest. The band uses a great bit of negative space, never allowing instruments to step atop of one another or the voice; it’s textured pop music, but the sparkling clarity leaves a stunning impact on listeners. The band will release their album Heba tomorrow via Bella Union, and you’ll want to be sure to spend some time with it going into this weekend.

Deep Throat Choir Release New Music

Leave a comment

As a kid that was attached toOmaha music scene in the early 00s, Tilly and the Wall was one of those bands that turned me onto to a broader spectrum of pop music. Why does that matter with Deep Throat Choir? Well, I think the band’s approach to songwriting is similar, layering various textures on top of each other, particularly in the way the vocals swirl and overlap on their latest single. You just can’t turn yourself away from the innocent playfulness, and you find yourself coming back to press play over and over. Bella Union will be releasing the band’s album Be Ok on February 17th, and I think it’s going to be a special listen that lasts throughout the year.

New Music from The Trouble with Templeton

Leave a comment

troublewithtempI hate to pigeonhole folks, but there’s something late 90s brewing in the sounds emanating from The Trouble with Templeton. You’ll hear a gentle trait in the vocals, moving carefully along with the maneuvering guitar work. It all comes to a head when the group hits the bright burst of pop during the chorus. I can’t place it entirely, but those nostalgic hints definitely have me gravitating to the band’s craft. The Brisbane outfit will be releasing Someday, Buddy on December 2nd via Bella Union, which will feature the hit below.

Good Old Guitar Pop from The Trouble with Templeton

Leave a comment

twttI love the way this new track from The Trouble with Templeton takes a casual stroll to draw in the listener; you’ve got to give it a careful ear as the song moves along. There’s some minor bursts of sound eruption, fitting into the perfect moment of the song. Eventually, it all settles and slowly begins to fade away, taking the song into its closing moments. To me, it holds the perfect balance, giving just enough oomph in the right places. The group has a new record, Someday Buddy, which will be released on December 2nd via Bella Union.

Ezra Furman is Back with New EP

Leave a comment

ezraIt took catching a live set from Ezra Furman for me to entirely buy into the hype surrounding his music…but now that he’s announced a new EP I’m salivating at the thought of new tunes. It’s got six new songs, one which is streaming below. I love the production work on this number, with his voice really taking control of the listener from the get-go. There’s some range from Furman, but when the accompaniment takes off, including a saxophone, the song really excels, leaving with you this infectious piece of pop music that you’re unlikely to ignore. Look for the new Big Fugitive Life EP coming in August from Bella Union.

Are You Stoked For Wild Nothing’s Life of Pause Yet?

Leave a comment

11958077_970211316378664_2723550751892443815_o-2No? Really? It seems almost impossible that you could have missed out on the excellent singles that Jack Tatum’s Wild Nothing has been doling out over the past few months in anticipation ofLife of Pause, but if you’ve been under a rock or something, you’re in luck. Today, we’ve got yet another single from the upcoming record with its title track, which you should immediately press play on below. This song is perhaps the single most resonant of Wild Nothing’s past collection of synth drenched pop tracks, and it’s every bit as good. Pulsing synths really drive this song, and the mellow beat grounds it in a danceable rhythm. All that’s left for you to do is preorderLife of Pausehere and wait a little while longer for the February 19th release date viaBella Union.

Sparkling Song from Lanterns on the Lake

Leave a comment

beliefsThis song from Lanterns on the Lake rules so hard that my only complaint is that it went on just a wee bit longer. Hazel Wilde’s performance on this track is stunning, yet it has this innocence to it that reminds me of Amy Millan in varying moments. Musically, you’ll find all sorts of layers to the tune. At first your focus is on the stick work at play, but eventually the guitars start to draw you in, unfolding in bursts like only the best post-rock can..it’s here when the drums take on a stronger machine-gun effect. All these signs point to a strong release for the band’s new record, Beings, which will hit this Friday via Bella Union.

Let’s Hurtle Through With Tiny Ruins

We got off to a foggy start this morning in the ATX but not to worry, I’ve got this sweet tune from Auckland, New Zealand’s Tiny Ruins to get you through today. I’ve been a fan of the quiet folksy tunes of Tiny Ruins for a little while, so I’m pleased to share with you “Hurtling Through,” which is the title track off the forthcoming EP from the band. It’s a soft number, like you’ve already known from this group, but one that highlights the magnificent and tranquil vocals from Holly Fullbrook. You should definitely take a listen and keep your eyes and ears pealed for that EP, which is slated for a November 27th via Bella Union.

Melancholically Beautiful Track From MONEY

Leave a comment

unnamed-3Sometimes, all you need is a good sad song to get you through the day, and  maybe it’s the Wednesday blues, but this track from Money is really hitting the spot. The vocals channel emo rock of the 90s, while the instrumentation is a blend of orchestral folk sounds that blend with the vocals and lyrics to generate a really moving piece of music. Lucky for us, MONEY have a new album, Suicide Songs, coming out in the near future on January 29th on Bella Union.
