Still Bopping Along to Scarves

Leave a comment

Seattle’s Scarves have just recently popped onto my radar, but I’ve been enjoying a pretty steady stream of the group’s new jams. The group seem to have that perfect balance between angular emo stylings and really great pop music; I think this track even takes on an almost Dismemberment Plan, seemingly working with different time signatures between music and voice. Niko has one of those insanely unique voices that seem fashionable up in the Pacific Northwest, and it’s one I’m hoping you won’t forget. Look for the group’s Dinner Dates for the End of Days via Good Eye Records on September 28th.

Really Love Scarves

Leave a comment

It seems like in this day and age, everything is old and new all over again. For the most part, I’m okay with that, giving me a chance to unabashedly shed praise on Scarves. They’ve got a new LP in the works, and I’m freaking in love with it, can’t stop listening to it today. It wavers back and forth between being an homage to classic Weakerthans sound and something you’d find on Jade Tree. While those are some obvious emo nods, and Niko has a distinctive voice, they brandish their lineage with such bravado that you can’t help but be won over by the entirety of what they bring to the table. Tune in, turn it up and don’t forget to grab the Dinner Dates for the End of Days via Good Eye Records on September 28th.

All About Parrot Dream

Leave a comment

I feel like the best thing I can do for you is to continue to encourage you to spend some time with Brooklyn-via-Chile act, Parrot Dream. This track is definitely on the pop-centric side of things; I think it will definitely draw comparisons, in some of the guitar sound to Beach House. It begins with this fuzzy keyboard intro, before Christina allows her voice to sparkle in the front of the mix. There’s this momentary respite at the 2 minute mark, offering just enough space for a slowed-down vocal performance that’s matched by some emphatic drum work. Light Goes will drop on August 24th via Good Eye Records, and you’ll be glad it did!

Parrot Dream Drop Another Single

Leave a comment

In just about a month, Parrot Dream will finally release their debut album, Light Goes, and they’re slowly letting singles trickle into the world. On the latest single, they open the song with an almost post-rock aesthetic, focusing on the crisp guitar sounds that spin around in step with the rhythm section. It’s not until the first minute has finished that you get to meet the band’s dream pop persona, introducing a wash of keyboards and warm vocals that ride the natural melody to the song’s end. It’s another nice entry into the band’s catalog, so if you’re interested, be sure to grab it from Good Eye Records on August 24th.

Dreamy New Parrot Dream

Leave a comment

You might remember Parrot Dream from our brief SXSW Interview with the band, but if not, let’s refresh a bit. The group began in Chile before relocating to Brooklyn where they fleshed out their band with various friends. They’ve finally gotten all the pieces together, amassed a decent following and now have their debut full length ready for you. Our first listen has this excellent blend between shoegaze and dream pop, which I suppose always combine to make the perfect mix. The guitar has this refreshing glisten with atmospherics lurking from behind from layered electronics. Christina soon enters the fray, letting her voice hang above it all, almost casually in fashion. Light Goes will be out on August 24th via Good Eye Records.

Obligatory Lunch Ladies Post

Leave a comment

The last month has seen me cover almost every song on the forthcoming Lunch Ladies LP, and why stop there? Today I bring you the latest single from the band, yet another installment in their energetic dream pop repertoire. This song has a good deal of bounce to it, crashing with a jagged guitar chug before the percussion rattles in your ears. You’ll get both female and male vocals uniting here, which has come in spurts, but it’s dominant on this new single. Good Eye Records will be releasing Down On Sunset Strip, so you’ll have to wait until then to grab the last few songs we haven’t featured!

More Music from Lunch Ladies

Leave a comment

If you’re reading this blog, note that this is the 3rd time we’ve featured Lunch Ladies in our coverage, and it’s pretty deserved. There’s an airy quality to this track, with just a hint of jangling guitars that fit nicely into the realm of indiepop. However, the band straddle that sound with a more nostalgic dream pop leaning…so I can check off two of my musical obsessions. There’s a special vocal performance right around the two minute mark that I particularly enjoyed. Good Eye Records will release Down on Sunset Strip on March 10th.

More New Music from Lunch Ladies

Leave a comment

A few weeks back we got the hint of new Lunch Ladies music on the horizon, and in a timely fashion, they’ve responded with another tune, “Love is Overrated.” I’m really impressed with their attention to the dreamy qualities on this tune, particularly where they leave lots of empty space for the musicianship shine; the wash of warm vocals are great, but they’ve drawn me into the song by allowing the rest of the band to be the focus on this track. Their album Down on Sunset Strip will hit on March 10th via Good Eye Records, and you know I’ll be ready to pick it up.

Enjoying This Track from Lunch Ladies

Leave a comment

There’s a new label in the world, Good Eye Records, and they’ve just announced their next release: the debut LP from Lunch Ladies. I’m really digging on this track, as the vocals have this soaring dream pop quality to them, floating high in your speakers. The rest of the crew do their best to add some crunchy texture to it, especially with that bouncing high-hat work throughout. Just imagine indiepop kids crafting a band while listening to a whole lot of Blondie, and you’re there. Down on Sunset Strip drops on March 10th.
