Pansy Share Walk Dangerous Video

Leave a comment

Really striking power pop songs are few and far between of late, but the best ones I’ve been listening to come from Pansy, the project of Vivian McCall. The band have dropped their latest tune, and already it’s getting rave reviews that we don’t disagree with here. Swinging guitar notes provide a charming bounce to the track, with vocal interplay adding to the crafty charms being employed throughout. I’m sure this makes zero sense to folks besides me, but it sounds like a weird mixture between Hunx and Built to Spill, with huge riffs and cleverness being belted out at every corner. Skin Graft is out this Friday.

Pansy Share Mercy Kill Me

Leave a comment

Vivian McCall, formerly of Jungle Green has perhaps been piling away the tunes that would make up her debut album under the name Pansy; it’s a record that documents her own transition, detailing her life before, during and after the transition. While the depths of the songwriting are quite personal, the boldness of the songs are enormous, bringing in classic power pop sounds with jangling guitars that just crush your soul in the best way possible. If you’re looking for huge melodies built into a nice power pop sound that you’d think Alex Chilton helped pen. This single is the follow up from her self-titled debut album, courtesy of Earth Libraries.

Star Moles Shares Fate Single

Leave a comment

I am an absolute lover of incredible voices, and today, I continue to indulge and marvel at the work of Star Moles, the project of Emily Moales. Beginning with a light strum and a bit of bard-esque storytelling, the quickly takes off from the light strum, twirling the listener around in this striking melody. Careful little notes on the tune give it a spiritual lift, though as it spun me about, I kept coming back to the Emily’s voice and its magical draw; it reminds me of Quinnisa from Big Blood. If you’re looking to completely obsess over an artist that wasn’t on your radar, you might want to go down the rabbit hole of Star Moles’ Bandcamp; the new album Snack Monster is out on August 8th via Earth Libraries.

Travel Back in Time with The Invaders

Leave a comment

Through the hard work of labels like Earth Libraries, we occasionally get to get into something that unfortunately slid under our radar, much like the world of the Invaders. The Alabaman bunch are brandishing a brand of rock n’ roll that falls somewhere between Modern Lovers and the Nerves, albeit with a bit of a Southern bit of flare. It’s crazy how crisp and joyous this lead single is, sounding like it could line up next to any number of the late 70s punk rock acts, which is when the band were a working group. Earth Libraries will be releasing Designer Genes EP on May 2nd.

New Video from Way Dynamic

Leave a comment

If you keep an eye on the Aussie music scene, you might recognize the name Dylan Young; he plays in Good Morning, Snowy Band and Cool Sounds…all bands we’ve covered. But, today is his day, as he’s just recently put up a video for his springy new single under his Way Dynamic moniker. For the verses, he certainly owes a debt to Garcia/Hunter, as the track has that classic folk styling that toes the line between rock and traditional blues. Inside the confines of the tune, however, the track doesn’t pay full allegiance to the straight-and-narrow, working some slide guitar and clarinet solos into the picture to give the textured bulk here. This song appears on the follow up to So Familiar; Spoilsport/Earth Libraries will release Duck on June 7th.

Batty Jr Share Table is Gone II

Leave a comment

As we ride into the middle of the week, I wanted to be sure to kick in with a little bit of a midweek ditty, brought to you by Austin’s own Batty Jr. here. On the horizon, the band have DO A U E, their latest LP, but for now, let’s rejoice in this meditative bit of cool folk pop. You can’t pull away from the natural groove presented, with that rhythmic pulse pushing things up and down and back again. A dual vocal performance ties into the folk heritage, but I love how the song still feels charming in the most playful sense, like we’re being let in on some little secret that makes us all smile. But, while there’s definitely a band brandishing the joyousness of their craft, there’s also some serious musical chops, so be sure you stick through to hear the strings and a little boogie woogie guitar take you to the close!

Premiere: New Single & Video From Sunfruits

Leave a comment

Australia, and even more specifically Melbourne, has really picked a ton of focus from us recently on the pages of ATH. Rightfully so with a slew of new music coming out over the last year, some of which coming from my new pails in Sunfruits. Today we are premiering another new single from the band called “Believe It” which has a touch more of a pop focus paired with the bands familiar take on psych rock. It’s catchy as hell.

This is part of more new music coming from Sunfruits via killer label Earth Libraries.

Another Jam From Mother Sun

Leave a comment

My new Canadian friends in Mother Sun have really been pumping out some nice psych pop jams this summer, having previously released one of my songs of summer in July. Today I’m happy to share this new single “Orange Colossus” which should put a nice book end to what is hopefully near the end of our Texas summer. Once again, the musicianship here is just spot on, incredibly tight and full of playfulness matched with a tight rhythm section. The addition of strings also add in just a touch of lightness amongst the psych rocking jam.

Mother Sun will release new album Train of Thought on October 28th via Earth Libraries.

The Roof Dogs Release Weather

Leave a comment

As previously mentioned, I have become an ever growing fan of the Birmingham, AL based label Earth Libraries and all the excellent tunes they’ve been putting out over the last year. The label has once again sent over a banger with the new single “Weather” from Chicago based outfit The Roof Dogs. Clearly the song has a bit of irony for us in Texas since we are constantly subservient to the weather, but that aside, the song is an incredibly catchy indie rock song with just enough hints of pop beats. Check it out and enjoy.

The Roof Dogs will be releasing a new album entitled Here You Are sometime in the Spring of 2023 via Earth Libraries.

Premiere: Psych Pop Stunner From Sunfruits

Leave a comment

Having recently sung the praises of Birmingham, AL based label Earth Libraries, I am not surprised to once again be receiving some banging new jams from them in my inbox. Today they traveled all the way to Melbourne to bring a new single called “Made to Love” from the psych-pop outfit Sunfruits. Overall, I love the sunny, bright energy of the track with some hints of psych pop and totally rocking rhythm section. Think late 60s psych rock/pop like Spirit with a more modern and sleek approach. Hard not to hit repeat on this one immediately after it ends.

Earth Libraries will be bringing more from Sunfruits real soon. Stay tuned.
