Vessel Announce Wrapped in Cellophane

Leave a comment

As I was going through the old set of emails, I was struggling to find something that really stood out to me; I honestly thought about going to bed and getting up to see if anything fresh popped up. Then, I found this rad Vessel tune, as the band announce their debut LP, which should offer all you cool cats a little solace from the mundane punk of today. I like the slinky nature of things in the presentation, with the guitar wiggling like a slinky pulled taut then loosed…there’s even some squiggly accents from keys too. Vocals play off the beat, but they’re only hanging about for a bit, with the band intent upon fleshing out that groove; they add in horns and seemingly throw in some snappier beat work, all of it perfectly ready for you to slide about your house locked into the vibe. They’ll be releasing Wrapped in Cellophane on April 2nd via Double Phantom.

Certain Times Share Spectral, Release Desire

Leave a comment

I have made sure you were more than aware of Desire, the brand new LP from Brooklyn’s Certain Times; today is the actual release day, so we’re celebrating by offering a glimpse of another tune, “Spectral.” When listening through the whole of the record, the band’s brand of synth pop plays with the contrast between the dark and playful sides of the genre, with this new single living more in the darkened side, slowed down by the pulse of the tune. You can see this juxtaposed with a track like “Power,” which holds this incredible bounce that pulses and grooves; it’s like Sleigh Bells, but good! All of Desire is filled with tunes bouncing back and forth with catchy groves and textured synth work, so stream the whole thing HERE, or grab it from Double Phantom Records.

Certain Times Share Today Tomorrow Always

Leave a comment

The husband and wife duo Certain Times have deep ties to the Atlanta music scene, but as they’re currently residing in New York, they’re likely to encounter a bit more anxiety; it’s hard to ignore it just stepping out the door, but its all how you cope with it that makes you a New Yorker I reckon. So, what do two musicians do other than dive into writing music to cope with those anxieties and their new surroundings? You’ll hear a fairly cathartic formula here, blasting synth stabs to line up with the punch of the vocal work. There’s some textural vocal layerings as well, adding an extra layer of depth as they build a more complex vibe in the electronic pop realm. The duo will release Desire on June 9th via Double Phantom Records.

Certain Times Drop Power Video

If, like me, this Tuesday feels strangely like a Monday, then you need a definite pick me up, something that can put that bounce in the rest of your day. Well, might I suggest trying on this new track from Certain Times. This song is the A-side to their brand new single, and it has this heavy dance vibe, akin to the likes of Junior Boys, driving these punch beats through the speaker while the listener seeks out some melodic bits. Caitlin’s vocals on this one have a nice little sparkle too, and in a faint way, have this bit of disco enthusiasm shining through, giving off this sort of timelessness that will have you spinning in circles while you twirl about your pad relishing the joy running through your ears. Keep an eye out as they should have an LP ready for their label Double Phantom in the very near future!

A couple months ago, we shared info with you about a cool new song and 7″ release from Atlanta based band Balkans.  We’ll we’ve been digging the band ever since and now see it fit to tell you about their upcoming full length self-titled debut LP.  The album, set for release on May 10th via Double Phantom Records, features tons of sick guitar based rock n roll that we ATH kids are all over these days.  Here’s the second single available from the release called “Troubled and Done”.

New Music from Balkans

Leave a comment

Perhaps I’ve already explained my excitement about 2011, primarily based on the fact that I’ve been hearing a lot of really exciting guitar-based bands kicking out the jams.  Yes, I know they’re have been some in the past, but it seems that we’ve spent a lot of time on electronica lately, so I’m pleased to introduce you to Balkans, an Atlanta four-piece.  They’ve got a great new 7″ coming our way on Double Phantom Records on Februrary 22nd, and the A-side is ridiculously  solid. It has a bit of that garage affectation, yet there’s more of a driving rhythm that steers it more towards a nice dirty pop bent. Just give it a go, and I’m sure you’ll be pleased.

New Tunes from Roman Photos

Leave a comment

Atlanta seems to have a lot of unnoticed talent, and that being the case, I was fortunate enough to find an email including some sweet bedroom dance tunes from Roman Photos, who have a killer design aesthetic to go with their killer tuneage.  They’ve got a few 7″s coming out in the next few months, one on Double Phantom Records.  The track hear has some soft vocal traits, but don’t think of this as some sort of downtrodden affair; there’s an underlying beauty incorporated beneath layers of synth haze.  If you’re into the band, you can also head to the band’s BANDCAMP, and hook yourself up with a free digital Into the Night EP of more tasty treats. Keep your eyes on this prize in the coming months.
