More New Music from Leatherette

You know I love to keep you up to date on the Italian scene, and one of my favorite groups overseas is Leatherette, who’ve just dropped another jam from their forthcoming Ritmo Lento LP. This track specializes in a blend of slowcore and post-punk, creating this wash that lets you soak in the waves of guitar as they nip at your ears again and again. I’m also a big fan of the way the group kind of combine their vocal work, all of the voices coming together to really deliver an emphatic bit of last minute joy. The new LP is out on November 28th via Bronson Recordings.

Pleased to Meet You: Fine Steps

May 23, 2013 nathan.lankford Leave a comment

One of the greatest things I remember about being a kid was following labels like Lookout or Dischord or Matador, knowing that I’d love whatever they put out. It’s a good thing I still stick to that sort of attitude, which is why I chose to check in today with Volar Records, who’ve put out things by Tropical Popsicle and Window Twins, to name but a few. One outfit they’re working with, though I don’t know much else, is San Fran group, Fine Steps. The group released a pretty solid LP in 2012 titled Boy’s Co, but it seems they’ve got something new in the works. This song has some heavy vocals over this old school punk rock work. If this jam isn’t making your day, then I don’t know what else to tell you, but I’m glad I stumbled upon it today.
