Return of the Close Lobsters

closelobstersThere’s always a lot of talk in the indiepop circle about the influence of the C86 Tapes, but when it comes to the Close Lobsters, perhaps the best thing is that they’re still here bringing brilliant pop music to the fold. On this brand new single, their first in a few years, throw all the nods to the past out the window and relish in great pop songwriting; there’s a purity in every note that rings true in your soul. The subject matter even seems to tackle the importance of musical evolution in London, at least in more modern times…both the changes and the message left behind. You’ll hear this track on thebeautiful new Desires and Signs EPbeing issued by Shelflife on June 3rd.

New Single & Video From Bergen

12346393_1028336280551107_8372644075798823823_nFinding new artists to share with you eager awaiting fans is a bit of fun for us here at ATH and today I’ve got a new one for ya with Bergen. The duo, based between London and Padova, Italy, create an interesting new form of dream pop mixed with some darker elements of the shoe gaze genre. I highly recommend watching this entrancing video to go along with their new song “Girl” as it accompanies the tune rather nicely. This track appears on a new EP coming out soon. I will of course be sharing more information once I have it. Enjoy.

 

Ancient River Now an ATX Band

ariverMy homie Lankford has posted about psychedelic rock band Ancient River a few times in the past and I’ve been a fan of the band for awhile as well. With that said, you can imagine our combined excitement when we just got word that the band is planning a big move to the best city in the world (Austin duh). So now an ATX band, the duo will be looking to flesh out their sound with a 3rd member while they wrap up two new albums worth of material. Very excite!

Though I don’t have new music to share today, you should check out their last album,Keeper of the Dawn, in full below. New music is coming soon.

I’m in Love With Fake Laugh

fakelaughListening to the musical elements of this brand new single from Fake Laugh might give you the wrong impression; it looks at a lot of the current market with those dreamy bending guitar chords a la Captured Tracks stable. But, the vocal approach really turns the song on its side, offering up a juxtaposed warmth that you don’t usually see; I particularly like the clarity of the voice too…you can completely understand the lyrics, which isn’t always the case. Get behind this group now before they’re no longer a small little secret in the music community.

Obsessed with Beach Baby

12400736_995517367186303_5526766828372926204_nWhat else could we possible say about Beach Baby that we haven’t already covered at this point? Try a search for the band and you’ll return at last 5 or 6 results. Seriously, just hit play on this new song “Sleeperhead” and fall victim to the sweet tunes that have already captivated the entire ATH team. Carry on.

You Should Listen to Robert Sotelo Group

robertI won’t go on and on about this act, as I know little, but in my goal to find some new things that aren’t getting coverage all over the place, I came into this new single from Robert Sotelo Group. It’s a strange amalgam of all things hip and cool right now; it has a vocal delivery akin to Kurt Vile, yet the careful approach to pop craftsmanship like a Deerhunter. I will admit that it almost seems unfinished, but in that aspect, it only encourages you to go back and listen to more. Not too much more info on the group other than they hail for London…this should be the city’s next big thing.

New Album From Mystery Jets!

Mystery JetsI would rarely ever share something so cliche as an album trailer unless it comes from one of our all time favorite groups like Mystery jets.  It also doesn’t hurt when the trailer might be one of the best I’ve ever seen, and at the very least, the first I’ve ever seen to really get me excited for a new album.  With a title like Curve of the Earth, combined with this epic new trailer, it looks like we may be in for something truly special.  This guy definitely can’t wait for the 5th installment in the Mystery Jets discography.

Curve of the Earth will drop on January 22nd.  Pre-order already up here.

Over Sands Making Waves Over Here?

over-sands-press-photo-1It’s not always easy to please the American audience, so what takes off overseas doesn’t always filter through our ears. That being said, I think the soulful approach of Over Sands has just what it takes. The music’s carefully crafted, highlighting the melody in all the right places, yet pulling back when its necessary. It’s the perfect start to a new act, which means there is a lot of promise that can come our way in the future from the duo. You’ll get to hear the full EP on November 20th, so keep an ear up and throw some support to the London act.

More From Flyte

11260570_901374956565298_6847506727576042280_nFlyte is a London based band I think we can all agree is full of fun pop vibes perfect for perking you up out of a funk.  Now Nicole already shared their debut single with you earlier this summer, so I’m riding the coat tails a bit with this sweet new jam “Please Eloise”.  This is a song perfect for a bright and sunny summer time party or a dance fest on your Saturday night.  I’m already dancing in place….

True Gem From Matt Rock

screen-shot-2015-08-16-at-6-34-11-pmI’ll be honest here, I love this damn song.  Something about the almost Queen like quality mixed with heavy, fuzzed out guitars has created a truly powerful and intense song.  Coming from London based Matt Rock, this track for you today is called “Gimme a Sign”.  I hope all you fan boys out there enjoy it just as much as I have today.

Matt Rock will release Get Blank on October 16th.
