Bleary Share Bug Single

February 24, 2026 nathan.lankford Leave a comment

Nashville’s Bleary are working towards the release of their debut record, and while all hints are that it’s going to rely on a heavy dosage of shoegaze, their latest single makes some nods to alt-rock of a different sort that caught me off guard in the best way. The group combine the male/female vocals from the get-go, carefully setting things in motion, letting the track escalate towards the first burst of throwback style vocals. It’s a cool twist, as they could easily fall into the trappings of contrasting quiet/loud, but they just go for it, and I love how they pull it off. Little Brain will be out on May 15 via YK Records.

Fresh Alex G Track

August 13, 2015 nathan.lankford Leave a comment

Alex G has had a pretty quick little rise to fame in the last year or so. His star looks to continue its ascension now that he’s made the move to Domino Record Co for his forthcoming effort, Beach Music. I really like the sound of this first single, “Bug,” which seems to hit all the wrong notes, except for some odd Chipmunks nods at the end of the track. Still, it’s clear that he knows exactly what he’s doing, musically, and I think it will remain hard for many to look away from him and his work. Check out the new LP on October 9.
