Last Week’s Jams (5.5 – 5.9)

Leave a comment

Last week was a rather busy one on our end, and I remember Wednesday giving me headaches in terms of what all we could cover. Alas, we had to start this week’s jams coverage off with the latest from Allo Darlin‘, who announced their first LP in some time. There was definitely some post-punk vibes cooking with acts like Artificial Go and Teethe dropping super cool new tunes that I couldn’t stop playing around our little house in the burbs. Had some old regulars pop up too, like Strawberry Whiplash and Welcome Strawberry; it was a strawberry themed week I supposed. You’ll also find some super cool oddball tunes too from the likes of Kilynn Lunsford and Vov Vov! Get it all below:

Brideshead Release The Light I’m Running To Single

Leave a comment

Just a bit ago we were fortunate to share the news of Brideshead circling back with a brand new LP, and today there’s another new ditty that I hope you’ll really love. At times, the track connects with these really sharp jangles, creating this springy step that has your toes tapping and your body swaying. While those charms are classic, there’s also this more indie rock centric vibe in the chorus that takes the group’s melodic tendencies to the next level. It’s a nice little mixture of styles, sprinkling in the group’s ability to charm from start to finish. You Are the Light will be out on May 23rd via Shelflife.

Last Week’s Jams (4.7 – 4.11)

We covered a shit load of great music last week, and as is likely to happen, we’re a bit all over the place, sonically. There’s definitely a fair share of punk-ish stuff like The Golden Toad and Second Act, but some classic pop acts of days of old have returned. I mean, can we give a shout out for Comet Gain and Brideshead both announcing brand new albums? I premiered a brand new track from Gentle Leader XIV, and RayRay continued with our undying love of new Night Beats. Plus, you can’t go wrong with new Austin stuff from French Film (not streaming) and Mobley, so bopping there as well. Just find a favorite, as you’re bound to find something joyful.

Brideshead Return with You Are the Light

Leave a comment

For a band with 30 years under their belt, it seems like Brideshead are just peaking. It’s been nearly ten years since their last proper release, but this new single illustrates their ability to work into the confines of both classic indiepop and more modern mixtures of the indie sort. After a little snap of the drum sticks, the track immediately cascades into this brilliant bit of heavy jangling, letting the coolness of the vocals push through the speakers. Where they could just rinse and repeat, the group choose to take on some of the dreamier elements of their peers, incorporating it into their more spritely nature, which gives a buzzing hum beneath the track’s mixture; it’s the perfect pop concoction, and you won’t be able to stop playing this song (or so we all hope!). They release You Are the Light via Shelflife on May 23rd.

The Best in Indiepop of 2015

One comment

indiepopTons of genres out there, but if you’ve been following our work, you know that I’m really partial to the indiepop scene. I scour the confines of the Internet for any and the best of the genre, and admittedly get tons of tips. So, I looked back through what had come out and wanted to throw a little bit your way…just another list of what I think was the best in indiepop in 2015. Still staying away from numbering. Also…some of this has made my other lists, but I wanted to expand on my favorite genre a little bit. Read more

Dufflecoat Records Update

Leave a comment

dufflecoatThe world out there for indiepoppers is tiny, so I was worried that I hadn’t heard too much from Dufflecoat Records as of late.  But, it turns out that I was a boob, and didn’t realize the label had switched a lot of their news over to Bandcamp.  So…seeing as I’m a huge pop fan, and hopefully a purveyor of such as well, I’d be remiss to not fill you in on the latest releases from the label: Exiles and Brideshead.  The latter is a collection of previous works, as well as brand new songs…so you can’t miss buying Never Grow Up.  Exiles have this new EP, I’ve Got Secrets Too.  Both are must have for pop fans, and you can stream a track from each below! Those of you that love this genre will surely find that you’ll enjoy browsing the label’s catalog…so do it to it.
