Climax Landers Share Valkyrie Profile Video

Leave a comment

Sure, you’ve already got your finger on the cool kid pulse for the end of the year, and that’s fair, but the great thing about this “List Season” is you get a chance to go back and revisit some stuff, like the last LP from Climax Landers. It’s a bit all over the indie rock road map, in the best sort of way, blending slower elements with bursts of fuzzy guitars and hooks, like “Valkyrie Profile,” which spends the better part of the first minute in a down-trodden one note land. Boom, the song jangles to life, drums snap and there’s a rebirth of sorts, taking the folk elements and rocking them in a disorderly fashion! Zenith No Effects is out now via Gentle Reminder.

Curved Light Announces Spirit Echo

Leave a comment

Five years in the making, it’s time for Austin’s Curved Light to release the debut LP, Spirit Echo. Our first listen shows Peter Tran coming to grips with the collective past, present and future, with loops and beats battling for supremacy, competing for relevance in the listener’s ear. At times, it might feel disconcerting, as if nothing’s distinct enough to really make its own rise to the top. But, then compile that with the visual imagery and poetic inclusion of the video, uniting all the sounds for a common goal…a push forward for Tran and his sound. Spirit Echo is out on October 1st via Gentle Reminder.

Repo Fam Share Dark Vision Video

Leave a comment

Repo Fam will be dropping their new Venus Fly album next week via Gentle Reminder/Home Late, and I wanted to make sure the Baltimore band were on your radar over here. When I first clicked play, I will admit that I thought I had the song pegged; I felt like I knew exactly where it was going. I was wrong, as the band take that sort of modern pop rock feel, and instead of pushing it in some formulaic manner where you drop the chorus in just the right spot, they defy that expectation, not even offering up a chorus at all. Instead, they draw you in with these brooding vocals and steady drum stomp; it gives the guitars room to flicker in the distance, offering discord and anxiety, or a “dark vision” if you will. Feels like a fun way to start off the day.

Hear a New Tune from The Honeydrips

Leave a comment

While the Honeydrips might seem like a group, it’s really just the project of Mikael Carlsson. The good thing about that, is it allows complete control over the song’s he constructs, and the work he put into this latest single is sure to impress your ears. Guitar chords dangle in the background with a heavy emphasis on the tight sampled percussion; vocals ride in and out, circling around the core melody. This track features on his latest album Give Each Other Some Solace, which is being released by Gentle Reminder on October 27th.

Soft Touch from Romantic States

Leave a comment

Baltimore’s Romantic States are high up on my list of things to look forward to as the year progresses, especially with Corduroy in Italy just around the corner. Their latest single is a little bit of a low-key ditty, but it’s something that shows an array of sounds we can expect on the new release. Ilenia quietly delivers her vocals over a steady back beat and a maneuvering guitar line that rings out during the chorus. There’s an angelic quality to the way her voice falls off near the end, and then you’re left to reflect on the joy the song will bring you. Look for the band to release their new LP on May 12th via Gentle Reminder.
