Alluvial Nuggets Share When We Lost the Internet

April 19, 2024 nathan.lankford One comment

As we eagerly away the debut self-titled album from James Dutton’s project Alluvial Nuggets, at least we can all rejoice in another peak under the covers. At first, the song takes on a modern jig feel, straddling guitar chords working atop a bob-and-weave of the bass work, offering up a pulse that subsides to bring in a more bold pop approach. Although the bass line still maintains its energy, there is some arrangement work coming in to add these melodic bits that flesh it out, even as the song runs for the expanse at the end by way of smoking guitar lines. Look for the self-titled debut this June from Lost and Lonesome.

The Small Intestines Share Old Town

August 11, 2023 nathan.lankford Leave a comment

If you’re of a certain listening habit, and you know who you are, you’re definitely seeing the Small Intestines as one of the year’s most anticipated records. The Aussie outfit features members of Chook Race and Peach Happening working together between projects to create something new and exciting. Employing sharp angular chops is always going to be an easy way to grab my attention, but it’s hard not to fall in love with the dual vocal approach from Matt and Tristan as it breeds a sense of natural camaraderie that makes being in a band so much fun. Personally, I love the recording a lot too, the cymbal work gets captures perfectly, so its not all smashing drums and bass grooves; it rules. Hide in Time might be your favorite LP of the year; it drops on September 29th via Lost and Lonesome/Meritorio.

Small Intestines Prep Hide in Time LP

June 30, 2023 nathan.lankford Leave a comment

Another day in bloggerville with another single coming from Australia that I’m really enjoying; it’s coming courtesy of Meritorio Records/Lost & Lonesome, too! Small Intestines are a new act on my radar (though w/ members of Chook Race), but the pacing and twisting of this track is sublime. You get a good 35 seconds of nice clean guitar pop before the band bring in the vocals; they’re operating with dual voices overlapping, which, for some reason, is always best executed when its done by the Aussies. While the track might seem sated, it takes on the song title’s mentality, turning from a solid trot into a nice bit of a hurried horse riding gallop; it’s a nice twist that keeps you coming back to press play. They’ll be releasing Hide in Time this September.

Girlatones Announce Horn if You’re Honky

January 9, 2020 nathan.lankford Leave a comment

Aside from the fact that I can’t stop giggling at the title of the new LP from Australia’s Girlatones, I’m totally sold on the opening single they’ve shared with the record announcement. It’s this soft bit of pop, crafted beautifully on the back of a piano, touched up with some light percussion and delicate little arrangements; I loved the crisp guitar notes at the 3 minute mark. Honestly, it kind of reminds me of the slow-core stylings of maybe Bedhead, though spun through a different set of influences; the song sort of builds and builds, peaking as the song draws to a close. Horn if You’re Honky will be out on March 20th via Meritorio and Lost and Lonesome.
