Okay, okay. So we didn’t crush it this last week, but I still feel like if you’re looking for a pound for pound playlist of solid hits under an hour, our coverage is primo. We’ve got brand new stuff from We Are Joiners, featuring one of my favorite chorus moments of the last several months. Plus, if you haven’t heard Lola, which I hadn’t, you should fix that before it’s too late. Like me, maybe a subtle guitar pop tune from the New Tigers makes your week, or maybe you want to get swept away in the synth pop of Pet Owner. I’m not sure where to lead you, but I promise there are worst places to spend an hour of your Monday.

Lola Share Moon Song Single

November 19, 2025 nathan.lankford Leave a comment

When you stumble upon great songs, they can sometimes take you aback, like this new tune from Germany’s Lola. I honestly thought that the song was going to spin into some modern post-punk, delivering a huge bounce that erupted into some euphoric moment; I’d be lying if I didn’t say I was totally okay with that happening. But, the group instead, add a little more rhythmic texture, then lock into the tension, building it block by block as the song moves forward with faint little sprinkles hinting at the endless possibilities that could unfold. It’s the perfect tease, and I can’t wait to hear more from this group.

Another Alex Calder Tune

November 25, 2014 nathan.lankford Leave a comment

Man, this track would have been perfect this last weekend full of rain, but it’s still a great little tune. Alex Calder‘s new tune has him slowly moving forward with some densely coated vocals, while the guitar beneath struggles to stay in tune. It’s a dreamy track, which offers you a glimpse at the softer side of Calder’s writing, with the lyrical content taking less of a focus than the emotional appeal of the instrumentation. His new LP, Strange Dreams, will be released on January 20th via Captured Tracks…starting off the year in what he hope is an excellent way.
