Day Friend Drop Blackout Single

Over the last year or so we’ve been hyping up Austin act Day Friend; they played our SXSW show with SOTO, then dropped the rad “Brainworm” single. Today, there’s a fresh tune that I’m particularly excited about; it’s got a bit more of a pensive post-punk nature, taking time to stretch out the guitar sound a bit. But, don’t think they’ve gone soft as the cymbals and drums still smash through the mix, and you can hear this slight little growl on the vocals. But, if you stick around, you get to hear a little plot twist, which is one of the many reasons I love the group, as they take on more of an explorative psychedelic beat blasting off towards the track’s close. Be sure you jam this one.

More New Jams from Plateaus

We’ve been raving about Plateaus all summer long, and it looks like the rest of the world is finally catching up to our impeccable tastes (I’m looking at you P4K).  They’ve put out a slew of punk/power-pop 7″s recently, and they’re about ready to bust out their self-titled debut for Art Fag Recordings.  This new single is just what I love in the group; it’s short and sweet, and catchy as hell.  These are the sorts of songs I dreamed about as a kid, so it’s great to see that all our electronic progression hasn’t gotten in the way of good old rock n’ roll.
