Last Week’s Jams (6.24 – 6.28)

Leave a comment

For some reason, I felt like last week was kind of a slow-burn, but then when putting all the tracks we mentioned together, was stoked to see we had a solid amount for you to enjoy today. Personally, getting to celebrate new music from Feeling Figures and Being Dead feels like the world gets a win. But, there were also some great LP releases from the likes of Laughing and My Best Unbeaten Brother, amongst others. Totally excited to hear news of another endeavor from Mexico’s Mint Field, not to mention we got another sneak peek at what’s coming from the next Bad Moves LP, which of course has us stoked. Stream below!

Checking In with Lunar Isles

Leave a comment

I’ve been covering David Skimming’s project Lunar Isles since I first hit upon the artist; he just recently dropped Parasol, his latest bit of wafting pop tunes. If you’re interested in the sounds he’s crafting, you needn’t go any further than the opening track on the LP; it uses these tickling little jangles to step into some energy, though the spirit of the song hangs itself on the winds. Such gentle approaches to jangling pop provide the listener with this blissed out adventure, and one that begins when you press play below before heading off into the rest of Parasol.

While it may have only been a four day week in terms of work, we made sure we made the best of it for you, bringing you a slew of hot indie rock bangers. Slumberland had a great week, dropping new music from Umbrellas, and introducing us to Torrey too! We were stoked to share a new video from the BVs as well, flipping their style a bit to tease you with what’s in store going forward. Some Texas love for Infinites and Alien Eyelid was a must, with an added bonus being that our friends in Pale Lights dropped a compilation of rarities and singles on Friday. Stream below and find something to adore.

Lunar Isles Shares New Tune, Releases New EP

Leave a comment

Over the last few years I’ve been keeping a close eye on David Skimming’s Lunar Isles project; it’s a dreamy bedroom project that continues to impress, release after release. This past Friday the Atlas EP was released, with a little more flexing of the sound throughout the six songs. Take the track below, which does wear some indiepop guitar references: it takes some of those nods, but peels back the modern dreamy atmospherics, allowing the melody and the gentle nature of Skimming’s voice to sit with the listener. Once you’ve sat and observed, you’ll find that the Atlas EP is the perfect entry point to Lunar Isles wonderful world of pop stylings.

If there is one song I want you to listen to it has to be the absolute smash hit from Maine’s Big Blood; I think I’ve listened to that track 1000 times since I’ve heard it, if not more. Of course, there’s other great tunes to enjoy as well, like that pop ditty from Tough Age, or Rama Lama’s new signing, Echo Ladies. Plus, Austin held its own again with new stuff from Dress Warm and RF Shannon. And, if you’re looking for something with some legs, there’s at least a handful of tunes stretching beyond the 4 minute mark, so indulge as you must.

Lunar Isles Release Right Way Round LP

Leave a comment

I have been enjoying the latest release to come from Lunar Isles, the recording project of David Skimming, a Scot living in South Korea. There’s something in his vocal work throughout the brand new LP that really feels like he’s channeling a bit of that Eastern mysticism; there’s this natural sense of calm, particularly when you zoom in to the opening track on Right Way Round. Those guitar notes and the rhythm section keep this bounce, but you still feel as if there’s a bit of thoughtfulness coursing through the core, something that ultimately feels effortless and centered…the way the whole of this listen comes across. If you dig, spin Right Way Round today!

Last Week’s Jams, Today (4.4 – 4.8)

Here we are folks, another Monday. We’re starting off the week, as we always do, looking back at last week’s hits, just in case our five followers missed a song or two. We’ve got new indie pop stuff from Red Sleeping Beauty and Jeanines, plus new tunes from long-time ATH faves, Stephen’s Shore. Then there’s a new Chronophage album on the way, so we’ve got that covered here too. It’s a quick little way to breeze into your week here, starting things off nice and light. Enjoy!

Lunar Isles Shares Bloom + Drops Visitor EP

Leave a comment

It’s easy to get caught up in the American indie scene, for obvious reasons. But, when it comes to dreamy indie pop, you’ve got to step outside that to discover the best Monday gems, like South Korea’s Lunar Isles. The group just dropped their Visitor EP, and this last single is definitely worthy of a few minutes of your time. I love the steadying of the musical elements; they seem satiated, not looking for more, just happy with their existence. That patience and self-awareness allows the vocals to really charm, matching the mood with this affected dreaminess that just caresses your ear caverns. There’s some slight lifts in the guitar work, making sure the song isn’t merely satisfied with being, and that adds just enough to make the song rewarding on repeat listens.

Well friends, this is going to be a short week, and we’ll likely run some stuff today and tomorrow, then take off the rest of the week to detox before hitting the home stretch of the year. But, like every Monday, we like to start things off just revisiting what we were able to accomplish or cover last week…so you know…here we are and stuff. We’ve got some tunes from ATH faves like Papercuts and Abram Shook, as well as some of the acts I’ve been more recently in love with like KEG or Suep. So, browse, enjoy, and hopefully you start off your week on the right foot.

Lunar Isles Share Breathe

Leave a comment

Lunar Isles is the moniker of David Skimming, a Scot in South Korea crafting some delicious dreamy pop tunes you’re going to want on your radar. Earlier this year he dropped Tides, his debut LP, and we just got Mirror Shapes this past Friday. We wanted to focus on the standout, “Breathe,” as I fell in love with the guitar lines here; it sets up this openness that allows for a gentle floating vocal to cruise across the song’s entirety. If you’re looking for something just on the cusp of jangle, flirting with pop all the way through, then go give this jam a listen, or dive all the way into the new LP.
