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.

Barcode Angels Share Renaissance Single

Leave a comment

After releasing their debut, Angels Forever, Barcode Angels got right back to work on new music, some of which I’m happy to kick off for you today. Crips cymbals and throbbing bass grooves drive the song from the instant you press play, with the lyrical content coming in frantically, almost as if they’re chasing down the beat. The verses are the perfect, as the bits in between are where the melodic center of the song sweetens the pot, particularly when you get to the back half of the tune where backing vocals intertwine in this shimmering morning pop jam. You can grab this off their new Self Checkout EP.

 

Colatura Share Suffer Dude Single

Leave a comment

Brooklyn’s Colatura return with their first piece of music since 2022 album, And Then I’ll Be Happy; it hits the perfect summer sentiment, at least when you’re looking at the sonics. Guitars shimmer and and shine throughout the background, building up this sort of mirage that one might find upon the ocean waters at midday. Lyrically, the song seems to have the narrator settling on being unhappy in a sense, preferring to stay inside when it’s the outside world that consistently seems to bring them down. Summer ripper with a sad sentiment spun into sugary pop for your enjoyment.

OK Cowgirl Shares Little Splinters

Leave a comment

Sometimes the nostalgia bug can hit us all from time to time, and that’s the feeling I get when I listen to “Little Splinters” from Brooklyn based outfit OK Cowgirl. The track gives off a strong, late 90s alt-rock vibe with the distorted, power chord driven guitar and steady drum beat. Of course the vocals from Leah Lavigne provide an additional emotional force to be reckoned with throughout. Check it out and you’re welcome.

A debut LP from OK Cowgirl entitled Couldn’t Save Us From My Gut is due out August 16th via Easy Does it Records.
