The Spookfish Announces Debut Album

Dan Goldberg began The Spookfish in 2007, journeying about the world recording his dreams and experiences, but he’s just announced his debut album…from the studio at least. It still has that glorious intimacy to it, opening with a slight field recording before the buzz of the studio creeps into your speakers. The rest is pulled back to allow Goldberg’s voice to seep in atop the strummed guitar; I do think I heard a door shut in the distance, but other than that, it’s a pretty straightforward gem once you get settled. Fire Talk will be releasing Black Hole on April 21st.

Hope You’re Listening to Turnip King

carsongA few weeks ago, Turnip King popped up on my radar with their track “Metonymy,” which was our first listen to their forthcoming LP. Now, they’ve left us all with this dreamy new tune and it’s accompanying video, which features cropped images atop images…in my eyes, the video encompasses the beautiful moments of life, even the silly ones turning into meaningful ones. The song itself is like a dreamier, noisier Mazzy Star with the distortion billowing out to greet the harmony. Look for Laika on August 19th via Fire Talk.

More From Earring

unnamedEarring is a Chicago based band Nathan and I have both taken a liking to over the last year or so. Though neither of us seem to able to classify the band’s sound, the boys certainly have received the ATH seal of approval. Today I’m excited to share with you their latest single “Slow Mud”. Imagine if you will that a slow core band melded with one of the best indie psych rock bands and that’s about what you have here. Unique to say the least.

New album Tunn Star will drop on June 10th via Fire Talk Records.

Deeper Sign to Fire Talk

Processed with VSCO with f2 presetMan if every label in the world discovered as much good music as Brooklyn outfit Fire Talk, the world would be a better place right? Well they have found yet another quality act in the form of Chicago based indie pop band Deeper. Now these guys create this sort of interesting take on dream pop but with a bit of an edge to it. As you probably know by now, describing music isn’t my strong suit and I prefer you to just trust me and hit play.

Deeper are currently working on a full release coming in 2017. Stay tuned.

Droning Rock from Earring

earringIt’s really hard to classify Earring, and I should probably steer clear of trying in the first place. That being said, those of you who find yourselves interested in droning noise and shoegaze will likely find your ears pleased. The band have crafted a dark wall of sound, and within that wall, deep coated vocals drift atop the mix. There’s a great deal of restraint shown by the band too, pulling back throughout the track in order to maximize the emotional appeal within the song. This song appears on the band’s new Tunn Star LP, which is being released on June 10th via Fire Talk.

More Murals Music

muralsIt trickles in, guitar chords at the ready. Slowly, percussive elements and a wash of atmospherics creep in to the track. By then, you’re emotionally invested in the new Murals tune. But, they quickly turn the pace providing you with a slightly jangly pastoral pop piece. Still, they’re not one to rest to long in one place, changing things to slowly evolve as the track draws to a close. Their new album, Violet City Lantern, should do much of the same, changing bit by bit at the listen unfolds in your eats. Look for the release on February 19th via Fire Talk.

Murals Offer New Single

muralsOn the new Murals single, it takes a few moments before the song really takes off; it opens with a dense little haunt before the guitars brightly enter with the backing of rolling drums. Still, the song’s not really started, as it takes a moment for the band to really sink into their darker approach that comes just about two minutes into the tune. Deep vocals and a trickling guitar carry the song before it moves on again into an airy jangling. I love the fact that there’s so many maneuvers within the track, which illustrates the band’s writing chops and various musical influences. Their new album, Violet City Lantern, will be released on a packed February 19th via Fire Talk.

Fresh Single from Murals

muralThere’s been a little bit of buzz of late in regards to the band Murals, and with this new single, I can definitely see more people gathering stream behind the band. It reminds me of a less detailed Clientele…leaving listeners with pleasant melodies that always tend to lurk a little bit on the dark side of things. I’ve also taken quite a liking to the guitar work, particularly in the middle section of the track as it leads towards the close. Their album Violet City Lantern is being released by Fire Talk on February 19th, and looks to be a fitting piece in the wintery music mix.

Ease Into Monday with Erasers

eraserThere’s a lot of music being crafted of late that supplies immediacy; it’s meant to be immediately consumed, thus it hits you right tin the face from the get go.  But, that’s not the case with Australia’s Erasers and their new single by any means.  This tune is almost an inaudible post, created by this lush touch of electronics and percussion and touched up by an occasional vocal.  I feel like its the perfect way to begin a Monday, allowing you slowly let your mind creep into the workweek. Fire Talk will be in charge of unleashing the group’s debut, Stem Together, on September 25th.
