Last Week’s Jams (1.8 – 1.12)

Leave a comment

While it may have only been a four day week in terms of work, we made sure we made the best of it for you, bringing you a slew of hot indie rock bangers. Slumberland had a great week, dropping new music from Umbrellas, and introducing us to Torrey too! We were stoked to share a new video from the BVs as well, flipping their style a bit to tease you with what’s in store going forward. Some Texas love for Infinites and Alien Eyelid was a must, with an added bonus being that our friends in Pale Lights dropped a compilation of rarities and singles on Friday. Stream below and find something to adore.

Gorgeous Bully Shares Fresh Tune

Leave a comment

I wouldn’t go so far as to say that I was ever turned off by the work of Gorgeous Bully as they progressed, but there was definitely a little bit of the mystery lost as expectations rose up through the release of Closure. Up until now, where it feels like there’s a return to simpler structures and pure emotion. Even the recording feels distant, keeping the listener at arm’s length, which inevitably has the reverse effect, only pulling you in deeper. There’s this little tonal switch in the guitar that absolutely crushed me; look for it around 1:36 if you wish to feel the same. Either way, this track feels like there’s some solace in it, and I’m grateful for its existence.

Last Week’s Jams, Today (5.2 – 5.6)

So much good music last week, and so much to cover. Well, we tried to get up as much as we could, plus Brian got some great photos of Good Morning and Packs. Here’s our weekly musical recap, with lots of awesome news, like new releases from Tan Cologne, Field Guides…and Voxtrot! I think the news of their Early Music compilation definitely made my week, even as I was held hostage in my classroom by state testing. Enjoy some jams from last week.

Gorgeous Bully Readies Am I Really Going to Die Here

Leave a comment

Tomorrow is Bandcamp Friday, and I’m going through the list of things I’m looking forward to grabbing, and wouldn’t you know it, I somehow let this Gorgeous Bully slide by, so I’m aiming to rectify that. In the lead track from Am I Really Going to Die Here, you get the energetic brand of longing and loneliness that initially attracted me to the project; the forceful pop rock is definitely the band’s bread and butter. That said, you get some more solemn vibes going through the later tracks already released; “Something in the Air” is a mellow slow jam working over a nice little programmed beat. Check out the tunes, and put it on your list for tomorrow.

Gorgeous Bully Share Sick of Everything

Leave a comment

I’ve always been a huge fan of Gorgeous Bully, and since 2018’s Closure, the project has mostly been quiet…though that doesn’t necessarily mean songs haven’t been written. Today we get to hear one of those, and while brief, its exactly the stuff I love about this band. It’s just a really straight-forward rock tune, with a heavy strum and a theme I think the entire world can relate to over this past year. The perfect hint of fuzz on the vocals is quite endearing too, just pumping in the hooks. Looking forward to hearing more as the year goes on!

Stream Closure from Gorgeous Bully

We’ve been hyping up the release of Gorgeous Bully‘s latest for a wee bit, and the day has finally arrived for you to give Closure a listen. While I expected the album to have some fuzzy bangers, like the opener “I’ll Be True,” I didn’t expect the softer side of things to shine quite so brilliantly. You get it on the album’s second track, “Gum,” offering up a sound that’s reminiscent of everything rad in Australia at the moment. But, while not always as upbeat, there are other soft, and even sad, numbers like “Tripping” and “Happiness.” It gives you a mix of everything that’s great about the project; you can grab it for the NYP option HERE, as well as order the vinyl LP!

Gorgeous Bully Drop New Single

Leave a comment

Ryan and I have been fans of Gorgeous Bully for awhile now, and I know that we’ve both really been looking forward to hearing the entirety of Closure. While we’re still a few days away from its release, the band has shared this fuzzed out pop banger. The opening rift has this driving energy that sort of creates this casual head bob, matched by the pounding rhythm section. When the vocals come in, they craft this heavier dreamy vibe, washing over the entirety of the track to create more pop sensibility. Plus, you can’t ask for more from a band when they promise “I’ll be true/I’ll be kind.” Probably one of my favorite things coming out of the UK the last few years; grab your new LP HERE from Breakfast Records.

Brand New Gorgeous Bully

Leave a comment

Gorgeous Bully have long been on our radar over here at ATH, and when they dropped this new single we, of course, had to get it up. I love the guitar sound that immediately jumps in; it’s heavy and foreboding, with just a hint of harmony…akin to some of the late moments when Sonic Youth took a stab at pop sensibility. The vocals stand back just a bit in the mix with a coat of distortion atop, giving a touch of grit to the song’s presentation. And as always is the case with the band, there’s no shying away from melody, ingraining the track in your head. They’ll be releasing Closure via Breakfast Records real soon!

Gorgeous Bully Give Us Another Jam

Leave a comment

Manchester based Gorgeous Bully has seen a ton of coverage on ATH over the years, and for obvious reasons. Somehow the group has continually pumped out hit after hit, and full albums worth of material time after time. Today the band sent over their new single entitled “Time” which can be streamed below. The song is a typical GB jam, bright, full and masterful when it comes to instrumentation. They’ve done it again.

A B-side to this single is available to stream on bandcamp.

More New Music from Gorgeous Bully

Leave a comment

gorgeousbullyThis new track from Gorgeous Bully comes with an explanation from Art Is Hard Records; it’s a new song that doesn’t have a home quite yet, but merely meant to hold fans, like myself, over while the silly record plants work out getting the label the new GB/Something Anorak Split 7″ finished. The tune itself is actually pretty simple, but it illustrates why the songwriting of GB has gotten to me these last few years; it reminds me of the simplistic approach that Wavves used, just happier, making you feel good about your spot in life. Rebecca of Whorish Boorish also does some nice backing vocals on the track. Some very limited copies of the 7″ are available HERE.
