Slacker Rock From Landlines

September 8, 2017 RayRay Leave a comment

As we ease into the weekend, I’m looking for some songs to relax to before the impending stress of football season sets in. Well I had to look no further when the guys in Landlines sent me their latest single “Some Ocean or Great Lake”. The Portland outfit remind me quite a bit of early Weezer if they somehow managed to be even more chill and lackadaisical. This is slacker rock at its finest.

Landlines have a new self-titled LP coming out physical on September 28th. Pre-order here.

Listen in to Landlines

Landlines is just another one of the many Portland bands that people are going to have to get to know, even if they’re not immediately on the public radar. Musically, I guess you’d describe their sound as casual guitar rock, working on rising harmonies that work to beat the guitar’s to the song’s climax. It’s all about pop sensibility and songwriting, so it’s hard for me to look away from the band’s brand new album, Problems 24/7, which just went up via Eggy Records. I think you’ll dig it; I do. Sort of sounds like Albert Hammond Jr.
