New Single from MIEN

Leave a comment

It’s got to be a great feeling to be working with friends, as is the case with the members of MIEN (all who have heavy psych pedigrees); they seem to sort of let their influences billow and bear fruit when fitting, never staying in one place for too long. This new number is a hypnotic event, that for some reason feels like it’s some underwater Massive Attack move; Alex’s vocals have this quieted constraint, and the effects definitely give that vibe of being just beneath surface water. But, while that natural pulse makes its way, the song eventually erupts with bits of screaming fuzz, hanging out in the far distance as the edges get washed out through your speakers. Just a reminder their new self-titled LP is out on April 18th via Fuzz Club.

Night Beats Announce New 7″

Leave a comment

Ya’ll know the ATH crew will always back some new music from the Night Beats. Danny Lee Blackwell has some masterful way of channeling all our favorites genres like old school R&B and psychedelia, then sprinkling it in with a bit of Texas flavor. This new single seems spot on for those descriptors, almost like it’s a channeling late-era Temptations, with the focus definitely revolving around the R&B realm; there’s this smoothness that I think Blackwell often doesn’t get credit for, at least in bringing it to his performances. Definitely a groovy number that reminds of his songwriting and continuous progression into all the things that make Night Beats great. A new limited 7″ is scheduled for release via Fuzz Club/Suicide Squeeze on April 11th.

MIEN Announce Evil People

Leave a comment

I love a good supergroup, especially when its made up acts we already love…and bonus points if it features Austin folks. So, here’s MIEN, which features members of Black Angels, Golden Dawn Arkestra, Elephant Stone and Earlies…all who’ve been regulars here, and now they’ve got a new album, Evil People. This new single is like a proto-psych; it’s filled with these pulsing notes and shattering guitar squalls, yet just as I thought the tune was pigeon-holed, they mix it up and move into different territory after the two minute mark, taking on a melodic moment to let the song breathe and open up. Looking forward to seeing where this album goes; MIIEN comes out on April 18th via Fuzz Club.

Circling Back on SKLOSS

Leave a comment

Amidst the hubbub of last week, I neglected to highlight this new single from Austin’s SKLOSS. The brooding nature and slow build are one of the core elements of their new LP that makes their debut LP so gratifying; if you’re wont for immediacy and easy hooks, skip on my friends. Karen’s vocals provide this ghostly echo, all the while she’s pummeling the kit. Sandy’s on fire for his part, letting those riffs flow with this natural doom sentiment that crashes in waves against the speakers. I mean, watch the video and you’ll see how emphatic noise can wake the elderly! Their debut, The Pattern Speaks, hits on March 7th via Fuzz Club.

The Men Drop PO Box 96

Leave a comment

I’ll admit, as much as we loved Open Your Heart and the early works of the Men, I sometimes need a reminder of how rad their entire catalog is, like when they drop a new ripper right into my lap. This new single is an immediate screamer, kind of barreling down the highway with this bravado and attitude that’s reminiscent of New York Dolls, only amped up with a bit of anger and spite. Maybe they’re angry at me forgetting how fucking rad they can be? I’m not sure, but I do know that Buyer Beware is definitely on my list of anticipated records for this February; it drops on the 28th via Fuzz Club.

Black Doldrums Deliver Another Hit

Leave a comment

London based Black Doldrums came onto my musical radar last month with the fuzzed out, post punk single “Hideaway.” As many know, once a band gets on my radar, I tend to save all new singles and albums as they come in. Such is the case with this new single “Summer Breeze,” which offers a hint of brightness underneath the sort of dark wave sound I originally vibed with. You’ll find lots to like here.

Black Doldrums have a new album entitled In Limerence due out on October 18th via Fuzz Club Records. Pre-orders are live now.

Black Doldrums Drop Hideaway

Leave a comment

Dang if London based label Fuzz club hasn’t been dropping some serious heat recently as purveyors and curators of modern, fuzzy psych rock. Continuing with the string of modern gems in the label’s catalogue is this dark wave psych number called “Hideaway” from fellow London risers Black Doldrums. I am personally loving the play here on what some might consider a fuzzed up, psych sound with a gnarly, darker, post-punk type vibe. For me, it creates something all together unique and fresh in the genre.

Black Doldrums have a new album entitled In Limerence due out on October 18th via Fuzz Club Records. Pre-orders are live now.

Obligatory Jesus and Mary Chain New Album Post

Leave a comment

Admittedly, there’s probably not much more to the story of JAMC that I can personally add, other than I’ve enjoyed the band the four times I’ve caught them after their most recent resurgence. They’ve got 40 years of rock n’ roll under their belts, and now, they’ve got a brand new album to go along with it! The opening minute or so of the record’s first single has a very British feel to it, somewhere in the cool waters between Blur and Spiritualized (or Spacemen 3 if we’re looking to avoid anachronisms). But, then the band makes it entirely their own, dropping in those trademark heavy guitar walls. As the tune builds, the song’s title gets repeated, giving off this rhythmic pattern that locks the vocals in step with the groove. Glasgow Eyes drops on March 8th via Fuzz Club!

Daiistar Share Another Single from Good Time

Leave a comment

Daiistar

I’m really interested to hear what Daiistar‘s debut album sounds like; they’ve been toying with me on every single they’ve dropped. Sure, they’re all in the same realm…psych, dream pop, shoegaze, but they’ve added in some layers to mix the tunes, which, for now, is keeping me on my musical toes. Plus, it’s all been really good, so you can’t argue with that start. This latest track from Good Time feels a bit like if Brian Jonestown just went off the deep-end into a sort of heavier realm; you can feel the weight of the guitars as the track swallows you up. Slow pacing only builds some solid tension, yet it never quite gets released, jamming out on the edges of dream pop as the song draws to a close. Fuzz Club will release Good Time on September 8th.

One More From Night Beats

Leave a comment

Well unless you just straight up don’t read about the new tunes on our site, I’m sure you’ve seen my fandom around the upcoming LP from Danny Blackwell and his LA based project Night Beats. If you did miss it, go back and check out the albums lead banger “Hot Ghee,” the psych trip of “Thank You,” and the groovy one “Nightmare.” Once you’re done there, come on back for the last preview of the new album with this slow R&B melody of “Blue.” Hit play and melt into the beats.

All of these new tracks will appear on the new Night Beats album Rajan which is due out this Friday the 14th via Suicide Squeeze/Fuzz Club.
