Hamilton Leithauser Announces New Album

Leave a comment

Look, the ATH crew has been at times accused of borderline obsession syndrome with Hamilton Leithauser both as a solo artist and as front man for The Walkmen. Did we track him down once backstage to buy him a beer? Maybe. Did I go all the way to Rhode Island for the first reunion show? Ummm yeah. Something about the music has always hit a personal note for this team. My doting aside, Hammy has been dropping hints of new music recently, which culminated in a new album announcement today along with this new single “Knockin’ Heart.” I cannot wait to hear more.

Hamilton’s new album is entitled This Side of the Island and will be out on March 7th. Pre-orders are live now.

Club 8 Release New Album

Leave a comment

I had a sneaking suspicion that this was coming: Club 8 release A Year with Club 8 today! We’ve been here all along the way, watching the band drop catchy single after pop gem, much like their fellow Swedes Red Sleeping Beauty. Today, they drop their final installment by putting it all together. You’ll find energetic bouncers like “Free Falling” or “Something’s Wrong in My Head,” but you can also uncover some more pensive pieces like “Closer to You” or “Nervous at Heart,” both which carry a gentle smoky pop engagement that is absolutely delightful. You’ve hopefully been listening all along, but if not, be sure to get yourself into the joy of the world by listening to A Year with Club 8.

Frog Shares Christmas Tune

Leave a comment

When Frog released their 2023 Grog LP, folks lined up to praise the band and their work, deservedly so. Now, they’ve teased a new album, but offered up a hold-over holiday tune to keep your ears warm during this Winter season. This tune has a take that’s not too similar to the traditional “Night Before Christmas” story, though told from the oddball perspective, which only makes sense hearing Frog as an outsider outfit. They continue to layer the song with twinkling piano notes, building it up with a snapping drum beat and these vocals that seem almost instrumental in their presence. A nice way to look forward to the New Year.

Stream Cistern’s New Standard EP

Leave a comment

Over the last month or so, I’ve definitely been on board the Cistern hype train, perhaps even throwing the wood on the fire. Today, you can stream the entirety of New Standard, and in doing so, you’ll be filled with this angular punk energy that should carry some enthusiasm into your afternoon. The catchy enthusiasm of “Pendulum” reminds me of the Futureheads, stabbing guitar energy that makes your feet stomp on the club floors. For me, “Crisis” is one of my favorite jams of the year, and I keep cranking it up, much to the dismay of my 6th period class, who are trying to finalize their projects. File it somewhere between Ought and Omni, and most certainly under awesome!

Good Morning Announce Surprise LP

Leave a comment

RayRay and I love Good Morning, and in fact, I even took the band to grab an Arma-delo the last time they were in Austin, so we’ve got to get behind the announcement of a surprise second LP from the group in 2024. It’s a meandering 8 minute pop rock track, embracing the title by just floating through the ether and coolly hitting your ears; it could even be considered easy listening, if you were into that sort of thing…which we are! Don’t be scared away by the length, as they fill that space with plenty of musicality and vocals, so it’s more like a classic Good Morning pop song, stretched for your benefit. The Accident will be out on November 29th.

Horsegirl Share 2468 Video + Announce New Album

Leave a comment

This track and news will likely blow up in about ten minutes, so I just wanted to make sure we had it up. Horsegirl have been on a hot streak, and this new single is so playful and steadying, that you’re really going to find yourself stuck in this infectious loop…though I don’t think you’ll mind once you press play. Looks like they’re playing with syllables and such on their new LP, Phonetics On and On, which will be released by Matador Records on Valentine’s Day. This band rips and that’s really all you need to know.

Rosa Bordallo Shares I Feel Numb + Announces New LP

Leave a comment

If Rosa Bordallo isn’t on your radar just yet, you might want to rectify that, especially after you listen to this brand new single from the indigenous native of Guam. Working in New York, she seems to have soaked up the influences, brimming with this balance of elegant bedroom pop and more avant songwriting, allowing her work to sound bold yet distinctive in its presentation. Striking string arrangements add nuanced shades here, with a rolling drum beat adding just enough snap to breathe life into the tune’s movement. It’s a pretty special opening statement, hinting that when Isidro rolls around, we’re in for a wonderful treat; it drops on January 31st.

Premiere: Sunnsetter Give Us One More Banger

Leave a comment

It seems to be a year where myself and Ontario based songwriter Andrew McLeod are in perfect alignment with the musical vibes we need for comfort at the moment. McLeod has been dropping hit after hit this year under his recording project Sunnsetter, and right before the release date on Friday, we have been treated to another banger. This one has a touch more of an overall electronic feeling to it with a droning beat and a swirling, distorted guitar to balance everything out. Seriously, if you haven’t yet made a pre-order for the new album, Heaven Hang Over Me, go ahead and do it now before the release date tomorrow. Paper Bag Records has a variety of fancy ordering options.

The Laughing Chimes Announces Whispers in the Speech Machine

Leave a comment

Everyone’s been raving about the return of the Cure this year, and sure, that record is pretty solid, if not because I’m constantly drenched in nostalgia, but, have you heard the Laughing Chimes? The band, while fairly new as an act, have consistently been reinventing the best of indie rock sounds from the 1980s and churning it into some of the best indiepop coming out today. On their album announcement, I’ve seen folks throw in shades of JaMC, but I kind of feel like the vocals have this underlying devotion to Grant McLennan, particularly in the way some of the notes hang in the air on single…and maybe even a slight nod in the video too. Regardless, put your nostalgia aside because Whispers in the Speech Machine is going to be the record you won’t forget; it’s out on January 31st via Slumberland Records.

Dropkick Announce Primary Colours

Leave a comment

It’s difficult to write about new music today, but as always, I’m just going dive into my feelings and really great tunes, like this new single from Dropkick. The band have just announced their return to Bobo Integral for a new record, Primary Colours, and a new single has come across the pond, to at least let us indulge in the warmth of their sound; they offer breezy vocals that work around the softened jangle of the guitars, wafting through your speakers with a calm that soothes at it hits your ears. Look for Primary Colours to drop on February 7th.
