Surf Curse Shares Hour of the Wolf

It’s really hard not to fall in love with Surf Curse; they haven’t really dropped a bad note since they’ve burst onto the larger scene this year (they haven’t really set a foot wrong, period). Their latest single, as the video would hint, has this natural brooding to it; it’s both ominous and dreamy, with notes occasionally cascading off through the tune that allow for the flare of artistry. What really gets me is the faint quiver in the vocals; it’s both fragile and intimate, giving us the briefest glimpse into the soul of the duo. Their debut album Heaven Surrounds You is out on September 13th via Danger Collective, and if there was a band I was wishing success upon, its this bunch.

Give Momma Some Love

This is not a preemptive Mother’s Day post, but rather an encouraging push towards the work of Momma, the teenage LA duo. Don’t let their age impact your impression; I think this tune sounds better than the majority of like-minded peers. I love how there’s this natural building of momentum throughout, though they show enough restraint to never fully give into that gradual build. Piling guitars atop each other, the duo happily let you drift away on the edge of their notes. It’s a wonderful tune, showing a great bit of care, thus leaving me impressed. Their forthcoming LP, Interloper, drops on May 25th via Danger Collective.

I Love This New Slow Hollows Tune

slowSometimes I see a song has a thousands of plays and I ignore it; I figure you’ve probably already heard it elsewhere, so what’s the point of shouting into the Internet void. But, this Slow Hollows track is just too great not to share, so take a listen to it. I like the pop croon from the group, almost like a nice nod to indiepop, though with a more orchestrated sound coming from the entirety of the group. The drums sit fairly far back in the mix, allowing the melody to steal the show, which, in songs like this, is precisely where things go right. The band’s album, Romantic, is out November 4th via Danger Collective.

One More BOYO Hit

BOYOWe’re just a week away from the release of BOYO‘s first album, Control, so we’ve got to maximize exposure for the young songwriter. This tune has a solemn feel to it, created by the way the vocals were recorded distantly in the mix. In doing so, the emphatic touches of the song itself burst forth rather infrequently, almost like a mini burst of pop dosage; it reminds me a lot of Built to Spill on Nothing Wrong with Love. I find it catchy, yet dreamy at the same time, which is why I’ll be getting my hands on the record when it’s released next Friday via Danger Collective.
