Villagerrr Sign on with Winspear
Earlier this week I mentioned the crushing of indie rock beneath the feet of Winspear; they’re the label behind Winter and Teethe, and they’ve just added another ATH fave to their roster, agreeing to work with Villagerrr to reissue a Deluxe Edition of Tear Your Heart Out. I didn’t think they could really improve upon the original LP, but they’ve gone and added 5 new/unreleased jams for the deluxe edition, including this sweet jam we’ve got hanging out below. It’s a light little number, an area where Mark Allen Scott excels, though he gets a little help from a friend as Feeble Little Horse‘s Lydia Slocum provides an excellent vocal duet role, making me wonder what else could the band have in-store for those other four tracks. Guess we’ll all find out when it the Deluxe Edition hits on October 10th!
There was a ton of great music dropping last week, which seems to be the norm for this Spring…not that we mind one bit. I tried to give some love to our Austin friends like Jana Horn and Letting Up Despite Great Faults, who both dropped new releases…and new tunes from Batty Jr. and Born Twins too, so keeping the ATX alive. It was good to hear new stuff from Estonia’s Pia Fraus, who’ve always crafted great landscape shoegaze. New stuff from Cindy and Beach Fossils wasn’t a bad way to slide into the week either, but we closed it out with a fun feature between My Favorite and Holy Wire. Check it all out.
We covered a whole lot of ground last week, as there’s always tons of music spilling out into the world. I was really high upon the new track from Daisies, which is why its leading our playlist. There were also tons of ATH regulars like the Reds Pinks and Purples, Lachlan Denton, Jana Horn, Dippers and the High Water Marks. Plus, with SXSW on the horizon, we did tons of little meet and greet posts with the bands: Blondeshell, Meernaa, Foamboy and more. So find a song you love, and go check out what we hit up last week!
