New Music from Sam Coffey and The Iron Lungs

Leave a comment

Looks like today’s going to be a day for rock n’ roll, and this poppy bit of punk rock from Sam Coffey & the Iron Lungs is perfect. They kick out an anthemic style akin to our local favorites Basketball Shorts, filled with huge hook-laden riffs and lyrics to scream at the top of your lungs. What separates the group from their peers, at least in this number, is the chorus, touching up the tune with just a hint of clarity. They’re releasing their self-titled debut on Burger/Dine Alone on July 28th…and it’ll probably be filled with infectious numbers that’ll stick in your head for some time.

Please to Meet You: Roya Announce Debut

Leave a comment

This tune from Roya is all sorts of wonderful. Careful guitar notes build the song’s tension, slowly taking little steps towards the introduction of the vocals. When they hit, they come in like an effortless breeze, riding atop the mix. As you move along, there’s little notes unfolding that bring in a nod towards Western psychedelia, inevitably picking up the tracks pace; I kept waiting for the song to explode, but they always hold back just enough to keep you interested here, whilst still bringing in a natural draw. Their debut self-titled LP will be out on June 2nd via Burger Records.

Dreamy Pop Tune from Trementina (SXSW Artist)

Leave a comment

Trementina has two things going for them at the moment: they’re from Chile (a place I long to visit) and they craft beautifully simple dream pop. The band claim they aim to influence lucid dreaming, using the rain drenched backdrop of their home to draft atmospheric touches into their music. I love the way this song fades away in the middle of the song, only to slowly reemerge with the samples sputtering back into your ears. Luckily for me, the group will bound over national borders to make their way to Austin for a few SXSW dates, celebrating the release of their new album, 810, via Burger Records on March 24th.

New Music from Cotillon

Leave a comment

A few years ago I was introduced to the music of Cotillon, so I’m happy to see that Jordan Corso’s project is back up and at it with a new LP on the way. The first minute has a pretty solemn tone, with Corso mostly working his vocals atop light musical accompaniment. After that, the emotional darkness still remains, though there’s add percussive elements and slight atmospheric feedback lurking. There’s a slight change in the tone of the voice during what I perceive as the chorus, adding an extra touch that makes me smile. Look for the new LP, The Afternoons come this April via Burger Records.

You Can’t Ignore This Tobin Sprout Track

Leave a comment

It would be easy to dismiss Tobin Sprout, not on the lack of great songs, but just as the other guy in Robert Pollard’s band. But, this brand new single is pretty brilliant, and has me yearning for a more innocent period of rock n’ roll, void of my meaningless words. It’s built around a plodding piano backbone, though I must say that I think Sprout’s vocals are what ultimately make this song so successful. Lyrically Tobin’s looking back on his own life, but he could be writing about McDonald’s for all I care, as this song’s just stupendous. Look for it on his new album, The Universe and Me, out on January 27th via Burger Records.

ATX Spotlight: Brand New Hundred Visions

Leave a comment

Hundred VisionsEarlier this week we caught wind that local Austin act Hundred Visions would be releasing some brand new tunes; I was salivating…and dare I say this is better than I expected. At first, the band seemingly trudges through familiar territory bending guitars nice with vocals drawn out atop the mix. But, hold on because they refuse to settle for the same old story, blasting off into a riotous mix of punk that jumps right into your ears! They go back and forth throughout, jolting you back and forth the whole way. They’ve got a new tape titled Brutal Pueblo coming out next week via Burger Records.

How Are You, Haunted Tiger

Leave a comment

hauntedThe end of the year brings some trying times for us blogger types…you’ve got to really hunt for gems, and then work on those highly important arbitrary lists. So in my hunt, I came across this delightful tune from Haunted Tiger. It’s a relaxed bit of dark pop, almost in the vein of a modern spaghetti western. I think one of the facets of this track that make it so successful is it’s usage of patience…one can easily see how a track like this could be rushed in some fashion…an increase in tempo per se, but the restraint is spot on. The group are releasing a special Halloween tape via Burger Records, so head over there to grab it.

Fresh Single from Elephant Stone

Leave a comment

elephantIt’s really interesting watching a band, such as Elephant Stone, progress through their various albums. In the beginning, it was easy to typify them as a purely psychedelic act, but this new single seems to indicate that the band has continued to progress throughout their releases; I feel like this one takes a more pop-centric exploration of the acid-house of late 90s Britain. It’s got a great melody, but often times it’s purposefully obscured by slicing guitars, vocal samples and synth washes. This single appears on the group’s new record Ship of Fools, which sees a digital release in September and a physical LP via Burger Records in November.

Slacker Rock From Gap Dream

Leave a comment

unnamed (1)Wasn’t I just saying something this morning about how impressive Burger Records has become with picking up new talent and sharing their music with the world? Well they are at it again in a short span of a few hours with this new single and album from previously ATH approved band Gap Dream. The tune is a meandering bit of slacker style indie rock music with an entrancing little guitar diddy carried on throughout the song. Carry on dude.

New album This is Gap Dream will be out on July 22nd via Burger Records.

Brighten Your Monday With Pink Mexico

Leave a comment

unnamed-29-1-690x690It’s obvious at this point that when a band signs to Burger Records out of NYC they are going to be of the highest quality. This is yet again proven by the recent signing of Pink Mexico and the debut of their new single “Forgetting Everything”. I can assure you that this song will make even the dullest of Mondays a little bit brighter and full of life. Anyone else hearing a bit of a Tiger Waves comparison here?

Burger Records will release the new Pink Mexico album entitled Fool on June 24th.
