Marble Raft Release Marble Halls
We return you to our regularly scheduled coverage of Swedish indiepop on Mondays, greeting you with the newest pop number from Marble Raft. This tune’s a rolling number, so to speak, kind of rolling over the pop hills, hitting high notes, then rolling down into more expansive synthpop. The interchanging vocal work, while melodious, almost adds another texture, crafting these sonic nuances that hang in the air as the next vocalist takes their spot. Me? I love the lower note work, drawing on. my love for the darker side of pop bops. This track appears on Dear Infrastructure, which will drop in February.
In a world where folks are rushing to put out their year end lists, so you can debate their tastes, I’m just over here putting out songs with my bud RayRay. We covered a surprising 21 new songs last week, and 22 if you included a tune that’s not on any of the DSPs. Tons of rad Austin stuff like Strange Lot, Gus Baldwin, Lunar Gold…and of course the ATH Records’ own Fantastic Purple Spots. New music from FACS and Sprouts made my week complete, though I also found some soft spots in there you can dig through on the site. Don’t forget to also check out our Rock n’ Recipes with Sasha Bell of the Ladybug Transistor, just in time for their little tour and reissue! We also got to premiere a brand new Gaytheist tune worth your time!
If you’re looking for the perfect piece of pop, you can generally rely on the good people of Sweden to help, like new outfit
