Immaterialize Share Will You Stay With Me Video

Leave a comment

I know that I’m probably stepping out of bounds here in terms of my musical nod on the new Immaterialize single, but the Chicago duo seems to have latched onto the space vacated by Broadcast. They clearly enjoy employing an electronic foundation, but the way the song’s move, fluttering subtly as textural guitars are built around the voice of Lipsticism. There’s this density to the craft, yet it’s coated in a pop purism that fascinates, even as the vocals fade into steady beats to close the tune. Word is this song will pop up on an LP early next year, but you’ll have to keep an eye on Angel Tapes/Fire Talk for more details!

One More Wombo Track

Leave a comment

The newest LP from Wombo is going to be out this week, and based on my coverage up until now, you can clearly tell I’m digging what they’re putting down. Yesterday, they gave us one final sneak peek into Danger in Fives, and it’s another track that shows them toying with various musical constructs to build this flowing pop masterpiece. In a sense, they have this same artistic approach as early Deerhoof, kind of jagged and off-kilter, but it’s magically tied together to sound like the world of music was meant to sound that way. Don’t forget that the new LP is out Friday via Fire Talk.

Wombo Release Neon Bog

Leave a comment

There is something refreshing in the approach that Wombo take to songwriting, at least if we’re to believe the narrative. Their current single, for instance, came about as a recording error, leaving the group with this haunting little march that they fine tuned into this structural masterpiece. Rather than have one focal point, the song seems intertwined with both its mood, themes and title…with Sydney commenting on how things can get murky in relationships, so you find yourself slogging through, weighed down by history, much like one would do if they were stuck in a bog. It’s refined and orchestrated perfectly, tethered to the band’s trademark craft; this continues to weave mystery and promise into Danger in Fives, out August 8th via Fire Talk.

Retail Drugs Announce rECKless dRIVing

Leave a comment

I was super into the last jam we heard from NYC project Retail Drugs, and today we get the great news that there’s a new LP on the way titled rECKless dRIVing…out on August 1st via Angel Tapes/Fire Talk. This song allows songsmith Jake Brooks to slowly manipulate the guitar sound, letting it embrace some of the popular melodic notes of the post-punk genre; Brooks pokes hols in the tune with this mysterious vocal, barely audible above the mix. Before you reach the 1 minute mark, the song begins to kind of hum with feedback, erupting into this shattering bash of noise that pushes the expectations of bedroom pop.

Retail Drugs Sign to Angel Tapes

Leave a comment

If we were to make a collection of panic-attack induing tape recordings I would imagine we’d find room for this new Retail Drugs track. The New York outfit have signed on with Angel Tapes, a subsidiary of sorts for Fire Talk Records, so you know the vibe can be trusted. This one works you into a frenzy rather quickly, with a synthesized drum loop pushing the pressure before a growling guitar comes hurtling towards the listener. It only seems to anger the beat, as it seemingly ramps up its own rush to the finish line. The vocals are buried deep, adding to the layered grumble of the tune. Excited to see what the future holds here.

New Single & Video From Jawdropped

Leave a comment

Los Angeles based outfit Jawdropped came onto our radar during the winter of last year with their stunning single called “Star.” Luckily, they are returning this year with more new tunes planned and a debut EP coming soon via the Californian’s new label Fire Talk. For today, we have this new single and video called “Skully” highlighting again the band’s ability to hit on some late 90’s alternative nostalgia while dropping in some of their own flavor with straight lovely dueling vocals and later intensity. I like.

Jawdropped will release their new EP entitled Just Fantasy via Fire Talk on April 25th. Pre-orders are now live.

Sleeper’s Bell Share Bored

Leave a comment

You’ve got to find a quiet place to listen to this new track from Sleeper’s Bell; it’s the sort of bedroom pop that begs you to immerse yourself in the craft, relishing in your own solitude. Blaine Teppema has some sonic similarities to labelmate Packs, though there’s some more careful study of melody in a lot of the nooks and crannies of the tune itself, allowing for nuanced strokes to layer on texture. I love the sweeping string pieces that cruise across the tune, pulling on your emotions as only a proper tune can. Look for Clover on Februrary 7th via Angel Tapes/Fire Talk.

Stream New Track From Lots of Hands

Leave a comment

Been a bit of a slow come up for me as we start to really deal with the aftermath of last week. Somewhat somber, sort of slow, maybe still in a slight haze all over. This new track from Newcastle based lots of hands matches that hazy feeling many of us are experiencing with this new joint “backseat 30.” It plays nicely between a twangy banjo and some electronic stylings, paired with hushed, and intimate vocals. Seemingly a perfect tune to chill out for the rest of your day.

lots of hands will release a new album entitled into a pretty room on January 17th via Fire Talk. Pre-orders are live now.

Cola Offer Pulling Quotes Video

Leave a comment

There’s a brand new Cola record coming out next Friday, and until then, there’s several singles for you to devour, like this brand new one and it’s accompanying video. This track began with Ben Stidworthy sending his bandmates the demo, using the groove to mimic the Uillean Pipes and their steadied drone. It initially didn’t grab Tim Darcy, but if you listen, you can hear how the openness of the tune forced him to take a different vocal approach this go round; it appears on our first few listens that his voice is almost taking on the approach singing to a ballad, though it still remains distinctive in nature. The tune’s latter half really has the band flexing their musical muscles as they break down into a steady jam that abruptly ends the tune. The Gloss drops June 14th via Fire Talk.
