Parent Teacher Shares NVD//A Single

Leave a comment

Feels like with all the AI generated music and algorithmic punches in the world, we can look towards artists like Parent Teacher who look to combine all the elements of the world into a unique sound all their own. I loved the shuffled of the latest single, fusing a quick bit of rhythm with a fast-paced strum that amplifies the natural energy. The percussive element is what cements the tune for me, working with lot of non-traditional pieces to create that primal movement. The vocals, on the other hand seemingly work against the frantic nature, creating this perfect juxtaposition that’ll have you returning to check your ears.

MX Lonely Announce Debut

Leave a comment

I’m catching up on things after a trip to the PNW and paused on an email today with news of a long awaited debut LP from one of my long time favorite New York bands, MX Lonely. While we chatted during SXSW in March about the much needed physical release of guitar player Jake Harms solo EP from 2018, lead singer Rae also made mention of new music incoming this fall. Today her promise holds true with the release of this new track “Big Hips” along with live pre-orders for their debut full length All Monsters. If you’ve yet to check out this band, this is a perfect time to get on board.

MX Lonely’s new, debut LP All Monsters is available to pre-order now via Julia’s War. Those ship out in February.

New Jam from Marvelle Oaks

Leave a comment

This new tune from Marvelle Oaks caught me almost instantly, loving that growl that opens up the tune; they didn’t waste any time getting the edge into the track as they move into a bit more playful territory. Vocal moments get traded back and forth, then they get layered on top of one another, keeping the song joyous and instilled with a bit of cacophony that keeps the groove of the tune interesting. You’ll also get to hear little slacker rock jams coursing through the guitars in the song’s middling moments, so while the track feels rather fresh and current, it still holds a little twinkle of nostalgia for you all.

TVOD Back With Another Hit

Leave a comment

Brooklyn based outfit TVOD were a band that really impressed with tons of energy and noise during SXSW a couple of weeks ago. Maybe even top band of the week? At least in the Top 5 for sure. Making such an impression will of course cause us to hopefully return the effort put in while in Austin, so we had to share the band’s new song “Pool House” today. It’s maybe a slightly paired down and more chill vibe than previous singles, but I love the pos-punk feeling, guitar tone, and overall bouncy melody throughout. Dig it.

TVOD will release this track as part of their new album Party Time, which is due out May 9th on Mothland. Pre-order that sucker now.

Consumables Share Title Track from Infinite Games

Leave a comment

If you’re looking for a rad new sound to file in your post-punk catalogue, please consider adding Brooklyn’s Consumables to the list here. When I went through on first listen, there’s definitely some similarities to neighbors like Parquet Courts, though this presentation feels less frantic, withholding some of the over the top antics in favor to let the song sort of ebb and flow across your speakers. In creating this approach, the group seem to look towards the more exploratory strategies of later Wire records, turning jagged edges into dreamy swirls. They’ll be releasing their Infinite Games LP on We Are Time on March 7th.

Lunar Gold Share Brooklyn

Leave a comment

Our friend Jason Morris helms Austin outfit Lunar Gold, and his kindness has always had a gravitational pull in our local scene, so today we get to celebrate a new track from the group! Morris and company are drawn to expansive sound, creating these cavernous soundscapes that allow for his angelic vocal tones to slide into the mixture; I love the way he seems to breathe as the piano climbs up and down the track, perfectly encapsulating the quieted movement that makes the group’s work so fascinating. If you’re in the area, they play an early show tonight at Cheer Up Charlies with Kady Rain to celebrate the single!

Snailosaur Shares Nature & Kaleidoscopic Mind

Leave a comment

Brooklyn outfit Snailosaur keep forging ahead, brandishing their love for heralded indie rock sounds, filtered through their distinctive vocal work and phenomenal drum section. When listening, you get hints of Berman or Mascis or Callahan, though done up with a bit of an amphetamine rush, setting up the two new tunes to rip through your speakers with a wall of noise. While they offer up the Dinosaur Jr-esque “Nature”, they turn it into a more pensive piece on “Kaleidoscopic Mind,” settling into a Western ballad that carefully frays the edge between Americana and indie rock. Both tunes rip, so enjoy them both below!

Casual Male Back With Another Hit

Leave a comment

Brooklyn based artist Tim Lapping has really been striking a chord with my lately with his new tunes under his recording moniker Casual Male. Dare I say, it might just be some of my favorite music from the entirety of summer 2024. Acting as a sort of close out for summer to me is this new tune about that familiar vehicle many of us used to learn our driving craft on “Hondo Civic.” This really plays into that late summer driving, very Americana feel of freedom, open roads, and a sense of total opportunity. Check it out below.

Casual Male will be releasing a self-titled, debut album on October 4th.

Driving New Song From Casual Male

Leave a comment

Tim Lappin is a Brooklyn based artist who has been recording tunes for the last few years under the moniker Casual Male. His tunes have a very New York, driving garage rock vibe to them with some hints of Americana and Bruce in there. This new track “Half Cut” sort of embodies all of those sounds as one has the sudden urge to get moving and maybe venture outdoors while enjoying the song. Check it out below.

Casual Male will be releasing a self-titled debut LP on October 4th.
