New Music from People Mover

Leave a comment

Feel like the streets of Australia have been fairly quiet as of late, but we’re happy to report that great pop music is still sailing our way; today it comes at you courtesy of People Mover who just dropped Cane Trash. We’ve got the lead track from the new LP below, delivering a steady guitar pop sound, using crunching riffs to kind of swing into the chorus that changes the vibe momentarily before locking back into the groove. Lu Serigacomi offers up vocals that remind me a lot of Courtney Barnett…sort of disaffected, yet charming in that fashion. This is just one of the gems lurking for you on Cane Trash, so give the whole of the LP a listen!

Great Lakes Announces Don’t Swim Too Close LP

Leave a comment

It’s been a minute since we’ve heard from Ben Crum and his Great Lakes project, but the announcement of Don’t Swim Too Close is the perfect reason to celebrate today. The record comes after Ben recovered from a severe concussion that left him depressed and questioning life. You can certainly hear that in the lyrical content that lurks here, albeit hanging on a teasing line, but not unlike a Silver Jews record, the messaging seems sort of wrapped up in this near perfect mix of Americana and indie rock. At times, the line of “don’t swim too close to this drowning man” almost seems like a reminder to Crum to steer clear of the dark corners of his thoughts and focus on the good time jams like the one below. Don’t Swim Too Close will be out November 7th via HHBTM.

BUNNI Shares Voyage Single

Leave a comment

When I spun this BUNNI tune for the first time, I was struck by all the nostalgic indie nods it makes, without feeling obvious and overdone. Starting, it takes almost this mixture between Elephant 6 and Grandaddy, but then it sort of looks into a lot of the little trip-hop moments that crested in the UK in the 90s. Then it sort of pulls in some of the space-aged psychedelia you’d find on a Spiritualized or Flaming Lips jam, so as we all should, I went back and played it again and again, further immersing myself in the purity of these tripped out pop vibes. Look for a new LP on the near horizon!

Teenage Tom Petties Announce Rally the Tropes

Leave a comment

I cannot wait for the rest of ya’ll in America to really get behind Teenage Tom Petties, especially as they’ve got a new record, Rally the Tropes on the horizon. This first single is just a straight ripper, indicating that Tom Brown and company aren’t done with kicking ass in 2025. The entirety of the new record is a celebratory experience, with Brown reveling in the joyousness of the group’s creation, as well as the power they’re now cranking out. The stuttering start that sets up the hook at the 16 second mark rules, recorded perfectly so that when the tune drops in you’re bouncing off the walls with the world’s largest grin stretching from ear to ear. Rock n’ roll is supposed to be fun, and no one is having as good a time as this lot. The new LP is out via Repeating Cloud and Safe Suburban Home in October.

Strange Passage Announces A Folded Sky

Leave a comment

It’s a busy day over at Meritorio Records HQ, with two new singles dropping, but let us first check in on their announcement of a new Strange Passage LP. Their early work drew in Felt and Feelies comparisons, and you can still hear that in the swirling sound of the jangling guitars, but the rhythmic work in this first single sets you up in a slightly different fashion. The way the drums kick and stomp in a smattering of noise is a bit more punk forward, so you get a bit more of a energetic grab in the front of the tune. The vocals have that disaffected delivery, swaggering in with a juxtaposition of nonchalant and emphasis; it sort of reminds me of Neutrals, if they were a bit more spiritually light. A Folded Sky is the name of the new LP, and it drops on Novemeber 7th.

The Apartments Announce That’s What the Music is For

Leave a comment

I reckon there is never a bad time to slink into a good track from the Apartments, and Peter Milton Walsh has made our day with the announcement of a new record from the famed Aussie outfit. These days, Walsh is operating almost as a crooner, letting the weight of his voice carry the emotion atop nicely lightened musical arrangements. All the musical notes are striking, though they all seem wary of stepping on Peter’s toes, kind of hanging in the back with the shaker, light strum and snapping drum; the extra flourishes build in a deepened vibe, embracing the sort of somber aura that crests and cruises through the whole of the tune. Looking forward to hearing That’s What the Music is For; it drops on October 17th.

Brand New Sharp Pins Album

Leave a comment

After a reissue of Radio DDR, which included some brand new singles, Kai Slater’s project Sharp Pins has a new release scheduled to drop before the end of the year. What I love about his solo work is how it pulls from a classic pop songwriting sensibilityl; there are melodies galore, but he consistently brings in just enough of a stomping groove that you feel as if you’re rocking out. That perfect balance is so rare, something accomplished by the greats like Bolan or Chilton, and perhaps that’s too much pressure for such a young artist…but Slater doesn’t seem to mine as he’s churning out incredible hits like the ditty below. Balloon Balloon Balloon will be out November 21st via K/Perennial Records.

Adults Announce The Seeds We Sow Are Sprouting Buds Nonetheless

Leave a comment

Admittedly, the title of the album might be a touch long-winded, but that doesn’t detract from the excitement bubbling inside my brain as there’s news of a fresh Adults record. The group have consistently set out to craft a joyous brand of indie rock akin to Martha, and this go round, they feel like they’re swimming riot there with their peers. The layered way the vocals work in this tune seems to create this natural brand new melody, so you’ve got the traditional one being supplanted by a layered melody, all of it swirling around these lightly growling guitar lines that will make all the indie kids jealous. Crank it up and look for The Seeds We Sow Are Sprouting Buds Nonetheless to rise to the top when Fika Recordings drop it on October 31st.

Did You Listen to Blossomer?

Leave a comment

There were a lot of really great records that dropped on Friday, and while heavy-hitters likely took the fame, I hope you will spend some time with Stray Fossa‘s latest opus, Blossomer. Those of you who are seeking out extra crisp guitar sounds will surely have this album spinning for several weeks, and opening track “Change the Film” creates the attraction instantly; it’s using these twisting little guitar lines and feathered vocals to seduce you. As you dig into the record, it’s the softness of the vocals building an intimacy between band and listener, and the production has the perfect amount of balance, letting the guitars dance and swing like on “Quiet Quitting,” though the voice still opens you up to the album’s dreamier nature. Ten tracks of magnificent guitar pop to make you swoon, so get to it and stream Blossomer below!

I Was a King Announce Until the End

Leave a comment

If you’ve been following the storied career of Norway’s I Was a King, then you’re likely going to take a close listen to their new single, with the group spending more time on the melodic core rather than some of their power-pop tendencies. That said, if you’ve listened to the group’s work, they’ve always hung on the softer side of the genre, and they dive into that vibe here in a way that has them sounding like they’re dusting off some old tendencies and pushing forward. I love Anne Lise’s light backing notes layered behind Frode’s lead, providing the textured love the group is known for creating. They completed the work on Until the End with Bill Ryder-Jones, so we should expect something meaningful coming our way on October 17th.
