Golden Apples Share Mind

Leave a comment

This new track from Golden Apples is a jam from start to finish, but for me, some of the greatest joy are the little musical nuggets hanging inside the track itself. When it opened with a snappy drum groove I was on board, but then this crisp guitar meanders into the picture and I was locked into the song. Russel Edling’s voice has this familiarity, in both the tone and the style, though I particularly love the punctuated hit at 50 seconds, erupting into this boisterous bundle of love that you can’t deny. Going forward the song then begins to layer in some textures that completely open up the dynamic, and I’m totally here for it. The new album, Shooting Star, will be out on September 19th via Lame-O Records, with an Austin date in September too!

 

Golden Apples Announces Shooting Star

Leave a comment

I love waking up to a bunch of really rad tunes, and today seems to be in our favor, as we now get this rad tune from Golden Apples, announcing the group’s new LP. The press release says their new album draws from a fusion between the sounds of Karen Dalton and Yo La Tengo, so obviously that’s going to scratch all the itches, musically. For me, the vocals really drew me in here, letting the sort of noise billow all around my ears whilst still keeping me focused; they’re kind of whispering, with some layers thrown atop one another while guitars buzz and explode in the background. It’s a balance between noise and joy, and I’m just going to sit here and put it on repeat for a few rounds. Shooting Star will drop via Lame-O on September 19th.

 

Dazy Delivers Pay No Mind Single

Leave a comment

At the moment, I’m really loving what Dazy is delivering with the latest single; it’s like a weird mixture of J Spacemen penned songs with the heavy club vibes that have been circulating through indie rock the last few years. It creates this heavy circular wash that’s entirely pop oriented, though run through a psychedelic wash, which is no doubt owed to the production help he got this round from Ryan Hemsworth. Kind of love how all these acts are revisiting those old school sounds, envisioning a future for indie rock where we’re all just totally blissed out. The song brought to you by Lame-O Records.

Lily Seabird Shares Arrow Single

Leave a comment

I was fortunate to catch Lily Seabird do a set two years ago at a SXSW show, and ever since then, her name’s been on my radar, and I’ve been especially excited with Trash Mountain ready to drop this week. But, before we’re there, Lily has one more album teaser to get us excited. For me, the fragility of her vocal performance on this tune is one of the many reasons her work is so special; it feels like her soul’s cracking as each note escapes her mouth. Plus, this song builds and builds, rising spectacularly into this full explosion of folk songwriting, buoyed by the arrangement of those who worked on the song. Trash Mountain hits Friday via Lame-O Records.

Lily Seabird Signs to Lame-O Records

Leave a comment

After the excellent Alas dropped, it makes sense that Vermont’s Lily Seabird would pop up more often in the scene, and with that, she’s announced today that she’s signed with Lame-O Records. The label will reissue that LP, with a bonus Acoustic EP, featuring two new songs, one which we’ve got below. You’ll press play, then you’ll be hurtled into the depths of the songwriting, as careful strums accent the striking vocal performance; it has this huge personality, though if you listen carefully, you can almost hear the vocals as they’re pulled from the depths of Lily’s soul. If you. missed Alas, then you can stream it all HERE. The reissue will be out on November 15th.

Mo Troper Covers Jon Brion + Announces Toper Sings Brion

Leave a comment

It’s likely that you’ve heard Jon Brion‘s work, even if perhaps you weren’t aware. It’s more likely that you’ve heard Mo Troper‘s work, particularly if you’ve hung around on our site for a minute or three. Good news, Mo Troper is covering Jon, but he’s dedicating an album’s worth of material to tracks Brion never officially released, or at least in terms of a collection of tunes, such as 2001’s Meaningless. Interestingly, Troper’s version, like his own latest opus, plays high upon the pop heartstrings; I love the way he’s polished his voice into something distinctive and sugary. There’s a mid-tune guitar noodling, tying the work of Brion and Troper together. Whether you’re listening to this as a fresh Mo Troper bit, or from the Jon Brion aficionado, you’re going to be instantly rewarded. Toper Sings Brion will be out next Friday via Lame-O Records.

Dazy Share Forced Perspective Single

Leave a comment

After dropping the Otherbody EP this past Spring, this is the first new music we’ve heard from Dazy, though it seems to be a stand-alone single as of now. In the email blast sent out, there’s an admittance to all sounds from the 90s alternative underworld, mentioning Folk Implosion and Daman Albarn. Personally, this sort of seems like a take on what Beulah was doing; it really hits me when James Goodson hits some of those notes in the chorus, riding this sort of bouncing ball of melody that pushes it right into your ear…but hey, that’s just one old guy’s take on the cool stuff from 90s indie. Fun song for a fun day!

Mo Troper Drops Another Pop Nugget: Stream For You to Sing

Leave a comment

We’re barely removed from the release of MTV in the Fall of last year, but Mo Troper never seems to slow-down, and why would he? His latest effort has this intertwining bit of guitar weaving this quilt of glam, lo fi and crunchy indie rock; it’s almost a stomper, with tons of classic guitar flare hitting the high notes. Mo’s distinctive voice shines brightly from the textured mix of rock n’ roll, like a beacon of light guiding you along the path of rock n’ roll pleasure. Word on the street is this tune will feature on Mo’s next great record; it’s going to great. Track available courtesy of Lame-O Records.

Another Gem From Superviolet

Leave a comment

As we are now a few months into the year, Steven Ciolek’s new project superviolet is quickly becoming one of my top releases of 2023 so far. Already we heard the sort of twangy, Neil Young inspired song “Big Songbirds Don’t Cry” and now we’ve got this new track “Locket” to further move along the new music hype train. This one still shows those aforementioned inspirations, but then also throws in loads more pop rock sounds along with the songwriter twang. It’s a gem.

Superviolet’s new album Infinite Spring is due out on April 21st via Lame-O Records.

Twangy New Tune From Superviolet

Leave a comment

Steven Ciolek is a guy you probably know from his time as the leading man for Cleveland based indie band The Sidekicks. What you may not know, is that Ciolek has since stepped out on his own for a solo project under the musical title superviolet. Of course we aren’t ones to just share news without some tunes to listen to while reading, so here also is the latest single from superviolet “Big Songbirds Don’t Cry.” I am immediately seeing some early Neil Young inspiration here in the songwriting style paired with a super twangy acoustic guitar for an overall subdued yet powerful tune.

You can get your hands on the new superviolet LP Infinite Spring on April 21st via Lame-O Records.
