Capitol Announce Sounds Like a Place

Leave a comment

While I’m sure that Ontario’s Capitol likely may not like the unfashionable comparison to the Walkmen, they’re going to get it when folks grab on to their new single…all the way down to the imagery presented in the video of their latest single. Opening with a tricky little bob and weave, it sets the scene for Josh Kemp to enter, offering up these baritone notes that sit happily in the textured indie grooves. I love how there’s a chorus, but then there’s not; they don’t really give you a circular lyrical return, rather they let the voice fall silent in favor of a wall of shattering noise that blows your hair back. This tune features on their new LP, Sounds Like a Place, which is slated to come out in November via Meritorio Records.

Sad Eyed Beatniks Share Monumental Ensemble

Leave a comment

There’s definitely some great tunes coming out today, monumentally so, such as the new single from Sad Eyed Beatniks. This single pulls on you immediately; the lonesome guitar and pacing feel like a leaf casually taking a ride down a slow-moving stream. Kevin Linn’s voice has this brightness that carries through the wistful bend of the notes, though it also gravitates towards a whispering effect, faintly tickling your ears as it billows right by you. If you find yourself in the market for sleepy pop tunes that help you escape the mundane trials of the world, then be sure to pick up Ten Brocades before its July 12th release date via Meritorio Records.

Friday Album Streams: Neutrals, Oh Boland, and More

This week wasn’t as dominating in terms of brand new singles and what not hitting the site; I’m not sure why there was a lull in single releases. But, that doesn’t mean there isn’t an abundance of great LPs you can enjoy today too. Some even come with brand new videos like THIS ONE from the new Plus/Minus LP. We’ve gathered up our favorites of this week, all of which have featured heavily throughout the last few months, so find a record to enjoy below!

Neutrals – New Town Dream (Slumberland Records)

Oh, Boland – Western Leisure – (Meritorio Records)

Plus/Minus (+/-) – Further Afield (Ernest Jenning Record Co)

Julian Lahdemaski – Young Jupiter EP (Soliti Records)

Stephen’s Shore Share Under the Pine

Leave a comment

I don’t always invest in EPs, but you better believe that when I do its because Stephen’s Shore have released something pretty special. They’ve got Neptune EP on the horizon, and today share a more pensive piece that’s really gotten stuck in my brain. While they’re last single held tight to a bit of bounce, this single sees them sinking further into the mistiness of songwriting; there’s almost a dense cloud of pop sentimentality that pervades every inch of the track. In a way, it reminds me of a cleaner version of what the Mary Onettes excelled at; there’s this somber quality that presented in this fashion somehow works in contrast and gives you this little hint of spirit. Feel like the rainy weather outside my window and this tune couldn’t have been better timed for one another. If you want to invest in this EP, buy it from Meritorio Records before it drops on May 10th.

Oh Boland Announces Western Leisure

Leave a comment

Irish act Oh Boland might have the surprise hit record of the year, at least if we’re going off this opening track. There’s this natural enthusiasm that bleeds through the speakers, matching the thumping drum work with the emphatic vocal delivery that serves to work the listeners into a frenzy. You’ll find this natural frivolity in the tune that will likely recall any number of Flying Nun acts, so for those in search of a freeing bit of rock n’ roll, might we suggest you crank this one up really loud? Western Leisure will be released on May 31st via Mertirio Records.

Friday Album Streams: Rural France, Joyer, Writhing Squares and More

Leave a comment

Definitely a busy week on the album release list, and if I had more time, I’d be way into reviews. But, life always seems to be in the way, so the best way I can throw my weight behind great music is to give you a chance to stream some of the really solid albums that dropped on the Internet this weekend. So, just check out all the records below, and be sure to buy!

Writhing Squares – Mythology (Trouble in Mind Records)

Joyer – Night Songs – (Hit the North Records)

Maria Chiara Argiro – Closer – (Innovative Leisure)
Rural France – Exacatmondo – (Meritorio Records)

Babehoven – Water’s Here In You – (Double Double Whammy)

Hovvdy – Hovvdy – (Arts and Crafts)

Laughing Announce Because It’s True

Leave a comment

If you’re not ready to enjoy some of the best power-pop around, then you may as well skip onto the next track, as this fresh Laughing tune is just too tasty. At first listen, you might hear a bit of a nod to Teenage Fanclub, and there’s nothing wrong with that, though the band settle into a little bit more casual and direct spin, harkening to the left-of-the-dial hits of late 90s college rock. The musicianship is pretty stellar when you pull your ears really close to the noise, with overlapping guitar lines swinging the listener back and forth like a great pop rock lullaby. Feels a bit like a house party thrown by members of Ash, Superdrag and Teenage Fanclub, and there’s not a single person who isn’t wearing a big old-fashioned shit-eating grin on their face. Because It’s True is out June 28th via Celluloid Lunch/Meritorio Records.

Rural France Share Guideropes

Leave a comment

We’ve received two pretty energetic tunes from Rural France thus far, all hinting at an exciting new record from the group. Today, there’s a bit more of a relaxed vibe in their work, playing with our expectations while also illustrating some of the differentiation we’re likely to find on the LP. The crunchiness of the guitar lines hints at an almost Pacific Northwest rock jam, but while burning up their amps, the band also remain tethered to their pop tendencies, using dueling vocals and overlapping melodies to provide that emotional connection. All things are pointing towards Exactamondo! being a knockout; it drops on April 26th via Meritorio Records.
