Maraudeur Return with Syncope

I’ve already been hyping the new Marauder LP, Flaschentrager, and you can now hear another gem of post-punk revelry to create your own anticipation. The infectiousness greets you immediately, snapping you into the groove with a bounding rhythm section that propels you into a full on body-boogie. The vocals embrace that sort of cavernous dissonance, operating like an echo fading in and out bf ghostly hallways. Upbeat and dark, you’ll come back to live off the energy of the tune again and again. Flaschentrager is out on next Friday via Feel It Records, and you’ll want to grab a copy!

 

Optic Sink Share Construction

I hate that I’m not on a dancefloor this morning, as nothing would be better than cranking this Optic Sink tune up and just punching the air in pure unadulterated joy. While I’m enjoying the dense club grooves, particularly that thumping bass buried deep, I also adore the way they walk the line of their punk roots too. It’s not a sort of played-out post-punk, but rather a refreshing club hit with a bit of a disaffected punk vocals thrown atop it. The propulsion is a tad slowed too, which gives off that solo dance vibe, allowing you to just lose your body in the best way possible. Their new album Lucky Number is out on October 31st via Feel It Records.

Maraudeur Announce Flaschentrager

Firstly, I’d like to apologize for the lack of appropriate punctuation to our German friends in Maraudeur; we’re too cheap to pay for the WordPress bonus package! But, in terms of the incredible announcement about Flaschentrager hitting overseas in a month, I’d love to celebrate the group’s ability to sound familiar, unique, and totally like very little else out there. As much as I love covering new music, it can grow stale, but then you hit the refresh button and you hit across a group who don’t care about rules or expectations; they play with a spritely innocence, content to stutter into melody then spring right away. It’s absurdist pop music at its most brilliant, and I’m totally here for it. The LP drops via Feel It Records on November 14th.

Optic Sink Announce Lucky Number

Post-punk tracks are a dime a dozen, but I’ll always welcome the bands that are stretching their own sound, like Memphis Trio Optic Sink. They manage to work on this groove that begins with almost this sort of break-beat influenced groove, akin to something you’d hear in the late 80s underground. Natalie Hoffman takes on this cold industrial vocal approach, sharping delivering each note over screeching electronic pulses. When the tune turns in on itself, it revels in its own magic, tripping and hopping in that territory where club music meets punk in a glorious hug. But, you’ve got to stick around to the end to hear the group really take the sound into their own hands. Lucky Number is out on October 31st via Feel It Records.

Morwan Announce Vse po Kolu Znovu

Ukrainian outfit Morwan are here to provide you with a glimpse of humanity in crisis; they’re embracing the dread, not merely of their world, but of that existential dilemma facing us all. That fear and observance of the time bleeds into their new single, carefully marching you into this harrowing realm where its nothing but bleak landscapes and shadows. That said, glints of hope dance on the wings of guitars, popping up intermittently as the weight of the vocals forces us to reckon with the pressing times we face; this matches with the band’s promise to seek something that allows us to “feel something real once again.” I love the way it cascades off into the night in the track’s latter half, only to complete the circle by swinging the song back into play. The group will be releasing Vse po Kolu, Znovu via Feel It Records.

Fan Club Share Roach Motel

There’s no pussyfooting around today, as Fan Club (formerly known as Lysol) aims to throw us right into the mix with this furious pummeling of punk and noise. The guitar shreds through your speakers in an instant, with drums smashing as if they’re propelled by some robotic madman, thundering through your speakers at breakneck speed. Guitars skitter and knife through, letting the drums run rampant as Noah Earl Fowler embarks on a stalking of the listener, walking the line between growling at them through the microphone and encouraging them to circle up and march along with him. In under a minute they hurl through the wall, smashing everything with a furious seduction by noise. Look for their new Stimulation EP via Feel It Records on September 5th.

No Peeling Share Pink Flamingoes

For all its frantic nature and quick quirks, the newest track from No Peeling is the sort of cleanser you need in your life; it will have you bouncing from one note to the next, leap-frogging your way across the continuous juxtaposition of musical moments. One guitar seems to be climbing up the wall, while the other seems to be scratching at your insides, and all the while, there’s this sort of scientific spoken fashion delivery on the vocal side; it’s like your part of some ginormous musical experiment that you can’t pull yourself away from. If you’d like to take part in the scientific realm of music, grab the No Peeling EP from Feel It Records on September 5th.

Another Great Track from Maura Weaver

When we first encountered the new work of Maura Weaver for her forthcoming Strange Devotion LP, I marveled at her balance between folk elements and modern pop sounds. On her latest single, there’s a bit more of a retreat into the folk realm, but in doing so, her natural calm quiets the song’s waters, creating this rich, caramel dreaminess. The opening reminded me of early Cate le Bon, but as the track unfolded it was like stepping out of the cool AC into the Texas heat, blanketing me in this warmth that’s simply unavoidable. Strange Devotion is out on September 19th via Feel It Records.

No Peeling Ask Can I Pet That Dog?

There is a long history of punks and hardcore kids kicking out frantic jams in a short span; I think of acts like Tony Molina or Snooper (or the band I worked for, These Enzymes!) who’ve garnered a lot of love recently. Well, let us introduce you to No Peeling, a band working on the same process, cranking out these smashing punk vibes in a super-jittery fashion. From the moment you press go, they rush in with smattering of drums and these riffs that seemingly dance about in the cramped musical space. There’s a coyness in the vocals, which creates a sense of playfulness that certainly accompanies the on-going question of “can I pet that dog?” The Nottingham outfit are offering their No Peeling EP via Feel It Records on September 5th; surely you’ve got time to cram 7 songs into 8 minutes!

Maura Weaver Shares Prince + Readies Strange Devotion

The latest single from Maura Weaver is going to feel like somewhat of anomaly in the masses of the current indie climate; it’s got an opening that hits on dreamy bedroom pop, akin to various other acts, but then goes completely left turn and hits on on the alt rock vibes of the 90s. It’s a brilliant switch, catching the listener off-guard, and crafting just enough DIY aesthetic to pull the cool kids along into the delightful world of pop music. It makes sense that there’s nods to Liz Phair, as you can hear that sort of crossover magic, where folks from all walks of listening habits will pine over this new single. It’s all accomplished with a sincerity that feels like Maura is just writing on their own terms and finding what feels right; it all feels gloriously right, so Strange Devotion should be out on September 19th via Feel It Records.
