Classic Guitar Pop from The Persian Leaps

Leave a comment

The Persian Leaps just recently released their Bicycle Face EP, and while I missed tossing them a bone earlier, I’m going to remedy that with this great video. They’re writing a classic guitar pop, with chords ringing as they wrap around one another to create an audible warmth. There’s an earnestness in the vocal delivery that I find quite appealing, almost stretching to the top of their range. The lyrics seem to take on a hint of self-depreciation with lines like “if I was nothing when I was with you,” but the video seems to indicate there’s light at the end of that tunnel…promise for us all. Grab the band’s new EP from Land Ski Records.

Propulsive Rocker from Deleter

Leave a comment

deleterFrom the moment this new Deleter tune takes off, the drums push you forward, rolling in step with the ringing of angular chords. As the song begins to pick up pace, it also becomes apparent that while there are post-punk leanings, there’s also a semblance of pop sensibility, leaving the track in the region of a more angst-y power pop. This song appears on the band’s forthcoming Meaningless Chants EP, which is said to have a larger political bend; it’ll be released on January 21st via Land Ski Records on a limited cassette (as well as digitally).

Power Pop Hit from The Persian Leaps

Leave a comment

thepersianleapsFans of guitar pop should have a pretty good year, you know, with the next Teenage Fanclub LP heading our way soon. But, there’s still some great power-pop brewing out there that might be a little lesser known, like The Persian Leaps. The Minnesota trio is about to release their Your City Underwater EP via Land Ski Records, and I wanted to give folks a little sample of what’s to come. Think about huge riffs echoing through your speakers, melodious vocals and the sort of pop sensibility we’ve come to expect from bands like Nada Surf. The new EP is being released on September 16th, so you’ve been warned!

Power Pop from The Person & The People

Leave a comment

thepersonandthepeopleAlliteration aside, I think I found my jam of the week, well, one of them anyways. This brand new track from The Person & The People came in via a friend yesterday, and I couldn’t think of a better way to head towards the weekend. If you’re like me, you’ll likely hear remnants of the landscape left by Teenage Fanclub. There’s warmth in the guitar sound, solid vocal harmony and it turns corners at just the right spots; it’s spot on perfect. This is the first single from the band’s new record, Dark and Low, which will be released by Land Ski Records on April 22nd.

Ripper Rip a Rocker

Leave a comment

otcI feel like a good bit of pop music always needs to be juxtaposed to something a little more dangerous, a little more sinister. So, it’s a good thing the folks at Land Ski Records have been so busy lately, offering up this new blast of rock n’ roll from Ripper. Take the sound of the guitar, combine it with the angsty vocal delivery, then toss in a nice pounding beat from the drum section…add it all up and you’ve got something ready to build a riotous little pit in your favorite venue. The Minneapolis four-piece will be kicking out their new A.D. EP in early December via Land Ski and Lawn Chair Records.

Fun Post-Punk from Deleter

Leave a comment

deleteListening to Deleter, I can’t help but tie the guitar noodling to Television. But, in doing that, I think I sell the Minneapolis group a little short…they’ve got more to offer, including bits of freaking out with noise. This single, however, takes it all and pushes the envelope by pulling in a little bit of pop sensibility by way of the vocal delivery, leaving you with a track that’s displays both musicianship and a little bit of fun. You’ll find this song on the group’s new record, Oblique Sessions, which is slated for a December 7th release date via Land Ski Records.

Pleased to Meet You: Murder Shoes

Leave a comment

murderBeen on a kick trying to find some great tunes that aren’t getting a lot of coverage otherwise, which is where I found this tune from Murder Shoes. You’ll hear a distinctive guitar sound with crisp angles and a slight bit of jangle, which you know I enjoy immensely. They’ve just released this track as a hint at good things to come from the band for their upcoming LP, Daydreaming. It’s the sort of sugary pop that all of us love, engrained in our souls with the perfect bit of melody sticking with us. You’ll be able to get your hands on a copy on November 16th via Land Ski Records.
