You Should Be Into Agent Bla

Leave a comment

A few weeks ago news started to bubble about Agent Bla, the latest, and possibly youngest, act to bring great music out of Sweden. They recently released THIS VIDEO, which reminded me to go spend more time with their self-titled debut. Still, I’m struck by the band’s early single form the record, “(Don’t) Talk to Strangers;” it has this swirling dreaminess that adheres to my personal pop aesthetic, including powerful vocals that are sure to have you taking notice of these youngsters. Their album will be handled in the US by Kanine Records, who’ve got a pretty good resume with dreamy pop bands like Fear of Men; it hits on June 9th.

12711219_989518334429855_87472059364947692_oWe’re fast approaching Fear of Men’s newest release,Fall Forever, which is out June 3rd via Kanine Records. And while we here at the ATH offices are undoubtedly fans of the group, we also understand that in your endless quest for seeking rad tunes that you may have overlooked this trio from Brighton somehow. It’s time to fix that problem, and you can do that by pressing play on “Sane” below. It’s a beauty of a track, with thecaptivating vocals in the spotlight. There’s no lack of drama either, as the song takes a little while to build into itself, with swells of synths exploding in the stop-and-go style and drum sounds popping and bursting occasionally. Make sure you get on board the Fear of Men train and pre-order their album right here

New Single from Fear of Men

Leave a comment

Fear of MenAh yes, another of our new friends from our Welcome to the Jangle party, and another great single from Fear of Men. Their latest track has these precision machine gun drum rolls, met by stabbing synth work to fill in the space. Vocals have this angelic tone, seemingly working against a harsher tone from the rest of the group. It’s almost the perfect piece of understated pop music, which should further build up your anticipation for the band’s Fall Forever; it’s being released on June 3rd by Kanine Records.

Brand New Fear of Men

Leave a comment

fearWell, it’s Tuesday and I have my track of the week: “Island” by Fear of Men. Their new album, Fall Forever, is being released by Kanine on June 3rd, but between them, expect the band to hit it hard…including a whole bunch of SXSW dates (including the Welcome to the Jangle party). I think my favorite thing about this track is the rolling of the drums…it’s a given that I love Jessica’s voice. While they’ve been raved about by man, I hope this new album solidifies the group as one of the more solid groups in the world. Consistent output that’s consistently good.

Leave a comment

11794204_460306374149395_945331956746969625_oHere in the States we’ve got a lot of good music, but sometimes we can be a little slow on the uptake when it comes to bands over seas. Today, I’m glad to say that we’re on our way to picking up the great tunes that Australia’s Hockey Dad are putting down. This duo has signed to Brooklyn’s Kanine Records, so you can bet things will only be going up from here for the band. Make sure you’re well acquainted with the great garage rock tunes that will surely be a hit with our American sensibilities. Jam “Can’t Have Them” below and just try not to get it stuck in your head for the rest of the day.

Fresh Flowers Track

Leave a comment

flowThe indie world swoons when Flowers come into play; they’ve been crafting the dreamier side of indiepop for some time, and we here at ATH eagerly await their brand new release. This song is probably one of the finer pieces they’ve done. I think the recording is done perfectly, in every facet. Their new record is titled Everybody’s Dying to Meet You, and it’s being released by Kanine in the US (Fortuna Pop in UK). While you’re listening to this song, try to think of something else that sounds this damn good; I bet you cant!

Leave a comment

12185003_1051680674852721_2170054358121692146_oBrooklyn’s Beverly has already burst into the indie scene as proponents of the This time around, they’ve enlisted the help of ATH favorite, Kip Berman, of The Pains of Being Pure at Heart, to provide his well cultivated guitar riffs and overall magic to their sound. The result is infectious, pop bliss with that choral hook that will have you singing right along. The guitars are edgy and gritty, contrasting with the sleek vocals of Drew Citron. It’s safe to say that we’re excited for their upcoming release,The Blue Swell, which will be out in May on Kanine Records.

Watch This Expert Alterations Video

Leave a comment

As we draw to the end of the year, people are making their year end lists of great albums. For me, one of the things that’s sure to make the top of my list is the new LP from Expert Alterations, You Can’t Always Be Liked, which was just released by Kanine in October. Just in case you needed a reminder of how superb their tracks are in real life, the band has this brand new video for “The Past and You.” I don’t really need to offer up too much more, as I think the video and the song speak for themselves. Have a heart for pop, then this should be in your collection now.

Expert Alterations Nail It Again

Leave a comment

eaAs we’re gearing up towards producing a small scale Popfest here in Austin, it’s gotta be clear to folks that I’ll do anything I can to propel the cause of the indiepop genre.  We’ve been excited about Expert Alterations, shortly before we caught their EP for Slumberland Records…and now they’re moving on to Kanine Records for their full length. This song definitely feels like it’s nodding towards a more Aussie sound, something from the early creation of what we now lump into the indiepop genre. Guitars have a slight jangle, percussion bounces and what a wonderful vocal on the tune.  Look for their debut You Can’t Always Be Liked on October 30th; I know I will.
