Secret Shame Share New Single, Dissolve

Leave a comment

The more I sit around at home, the more I just want to have fun with my music listening and my daughter…typically that means dancing about to various brands of post-punk in the living room. For me, that’s the highlight of this new Secret Shame track; you can hear the song steeped in the tradition from the moment that the jam kicks off…think of New Order with a dreamier twist on the vocals. I actually like it, giving off the perfect juxtaposition so the song doesn’t stray too far into homage territory. Just an energetic pop tune to make your day better; you’ll find this tune on the Dissolve/Pure 7″, out June 5th.

More To Love From Hibou

In July, the man behind the music, Peter Michel, got us with the infallibly lush, “Dissolve,” which certainly had me looking forward to the band’s self-titled upcoming LP. Now, we’ve got “Eleanor,” the track below, which goes in a slightly different direction, but a good one nonetheless. This song relies a bit more on the synths of the track to create the dreamscape, and they twinkle through the number quite airily. Vocally, Michel’s pipes resound as though another synth, distorted just enough to blend into the instrumentals at times and then push away at the precise moment. Yea, it’s a Spotify only track, but you can just get over yourself and take a listen. I bit the bullet and found it for you, so trust me when I tell you it’s worth it. Don’t forget, Hibou is out via Barsuk Records on September 18th.

I’m Gonna Give You Sick Dream Pop Songs Forever

Today’s delightfully lush track comes from Seattle’s Hibou, whom we haven’t heard from since some tunes surfaced back in 2013. Hibou is the project of former Craft Spells drummer, Peter Michael, and he’s just announced that his debut self titled LP will be out September 18th. Take a listen to what’s apparently the opening track to this album below, and let the layers of sleek guitars, fuzzy drums, and drowning in reverb vocals wash over you in a dream pop, well, dream.
