Provoker Share New Double A-side

Leave a comment

Los Angeles based outfit Provoker came into my musical sphere a few years ago when I happened upon a cassette version of their Dark Angel EP at a garage sale. Yep, that happened. I’ve stayed in tune with the band since then, and also made a point to catch a few of their SXSW sets in 2024. This year, the dudes have a new LP coming out on May 9th entitled Mausoleum which will feature this double single “Germaphobe” & “Tears in the Club.” Side one is a pretty expected, down temp track from the trio, but part two will certainly kick things up for your next emo dance party. Yeah, I dig it.

Pre-orders for Mausoleum are live now via YEAR0001.

Pachyman Announces Another Place

Leave a comment

It always amazes me that for all the risks and adjacent vibes that course through Pachyman‘s sound that he doesn’t get loads of love from the indie rock cognoscenti. With the announcement of a new record, pushing his sound further into textural dub, he’s got this bumping new single, burrowing into your soul with its repetitive nature. And yet, you never tire, as the song’s builds and spins, ultimately feeling like a collection of break-beats from your favorite old school hip-hop DJ. And that’s the thing with his work, as it stretches here and there, and yet always feels like something magical and close to his core. Looking forward to Another Place; it drops on May 23 via ATO Records.

Check Out Expose and Speed Dial

Leave a comment

Looks like today won’t be quite the bonkers release day that we had yesterday, so it’s letting me go back and enjoy some hits I got over our little break, like this forthcoming LP from Expose. We’ve got a couple of tracks for you to check out below, each one offering a sonic glimpse at what lies ahead. “Speed Dial” is a frantic number with thundering drums and feedback greeting you as the vocals echo through the speakers; it’s like the greatest car chase scene you haven’t quite seen…and then it ends. On the album, it sets you right into “The Constant,” which hints at a broader approach to their walls of noise; the pace is slower and the vocals are on a slow march, rather than a distant echo…all of it still packing that powerful punch. They’ll release ETC on January 24th via Quindi Records.

Signal Share You Must Win

Leave a comment

If I were to pick a day to jam to this new Signal tune, it feels like a perfect Sunday morning experience, something that invites solitude and reflection with a warm cup of tea or what have you in your hand. There’s this slowness that allows the purity of the melody to rise through the tune, and once its riddled with the patient crawl of the vocals you’re greeted with something that wouldn’t seem out of place on the B-side of a Galaxie 500 recording. The duo are early on in their writing process, but you can definitely hear that they’re onto something pure if you click play below.

Premiere: Dear Francis Drops Godhead

Leave a comment

Yes, we still out here. While all of us pray for some form of Fall here in Texas, Jennifer Clavin is out in L.A. gracing us all with some new jams under her solo recording moniker dear francis. If you’re unfamiliar with Clavin and her previous work, you should be, as she’s been fronting the now legends in the indie L.A. punk scene Bleached for near on 15 years. You can obviously hear a bit of that influence in her new song “godheads,” but it also brings forth this new vibe of an acoustic lightness playing nicely between the higher energy moments. This is definitely a creative direction I can get behind. Stay tuned as more comes our way.

Sam Blasucci Returns With Witching Hour

Leave a comment

Sam Blasucci really caught my ear around this time last year with the release of his debut solo LP Off My Stars, which was a heavily spun piece by me. Blasucci doesn’t have any plans to slow down with his new solo work as another new album of material entitled Real Life Thing is due out on November 1st via Innovative Leisure. Prior to the full album, Sam was kind enough to send along a preview of the new material with this single “Witching Hour.” It turns a little bit, and delivers a more piano driven, slight Elton John undertone of inspiration, sound. I am here for it.

Cryogeyser Release Sorry

Leave a comment

It has been nearly three years since we last heard from L.A. based band Cryogeyser with their album timetetheredtogether from 2021. Today the group have returned in full force with this stunner of a reintroduction called “Sorry.” I think you’ll find it plays lightly between darker, grungy elements and delicate pieces of dreamy pop at the same time. I’m finding it to be a nice wake up call on this slow moving Monday morning. Stay tuned for more details on what is hopefully more singles.

Milly At it Again

Leave a comment

If you were paying attention to our website back in 2022, you may have noticed a multitude of posts about the Los Angeles based band Milly. Likely due to our newfound love and resurgence for the post-emo days, the band has straight hit a chord with me personally and turned me into a forever fan. This year the group has another sure to be stellar album planned for summer which will feature this new single “Spilling Ink.” You can give me a million more songs just like this one and it’d be a solid day for me.

The new album from Milly entitled Your Own Becoming will be out on June 28th via Dangerbird Records. Pre-orders are live now!

New Single & Video From Love Fiend

Leave a comment

Well we are cruising through another wild week after coming down from the Record Convention, and the new tunes just keep flying our way. If you’re down for a little kick of energy and fun, I suggest you check out this new track “Hard Feelings” from the L.A. based group Love Fiend. Certainly you can hear that quirky new wave sound in there which is set off and given a driving beat with a hint of post-punk. I am sure you will love it.

This new song appears on the upcoming album entitled Handle With Care which is due out on July 12th via In the Red Records. Pre-orders are up now.

Breezy New Tune From David Robert Pollock

Leave a comment

It’s been a bit of a slow week for me on the new music end as I still try to shake off the Spring festival lull. Los Angeles based artist David Robert Pollock is helping ease me into a chill Thursday with his lovely and enchanting new tune “I Want the World.” I am totally mesmerized by the delicate, intimate, and brutally honest nature of his approach to songwriting. What a lovely way to start your day.

This track appears on a new EP of the same name which is due out on April 30th via Snack Shack Tracks/Anxiety Blanket Records.
