Fresh New Music from Jeremy Jay

Leave a comment

JeremyJayLondonTreesEver since he released the Airwalker EP and  A Place Where We Could Go I’ve been an adamant fan of Jeremy Jay and his music.  But, he’s been quiet as of late, waiting almost two full years since his last release to put together a new album.  According to an email, part of that seems to be that he’s been searching for the absolute perfect place to record his music.  Our first taste of new music from Jeremy already seems destined for greatness, with an old 80s warehouse sound and Jay’s cool vocal delivery.  His new record should come our way later this year via K Records, with a single slated for release prior to that date; for now, he’s graciously sent us this incredible tune to share with you all. Do yourself a favor if you’re new to Jeremy, and go revisit his entire catalogue. It’ll be a day well spent.

Feel Good Tune from Cowboy Indian Bear

Leave a comment

cowboyindianbearA sure way to my heart is to throw in some gang vocals.  I don’t really care if they’re harmonized, angrily shouted or whatnot, I just want group vocals!  This beautiful track from Cowboy Indian Bear features just that, so I had to share it with you.  This isn’t an in-your-face group approach, but rather a relaxed gang vocal, accentuated by careful percussion and light instrumentation; it’s clear, at least on this tune, that the vocals are the winner…the song’s not shabby either. The band will be releasing their new record, Live Old Die Young, next week via The Record Machine, and I sincerely hope it makes it on your list of things to check out.

Special Pop Track from W-H-I-T-E

Leave a comment

WhiteI’ve got some work to do.  I had no idea who W-H-I-T-E was up until I received the email that contained this incredible tune.  If you’re not in the know either, it’s the project of Cory Hanson, an LA musician who seems to have created the perfect blend of pop music.  There’s a heavy coat that hangs over this entire track, but the vocals are so soft and serene that you find yourself playing the song over and over again.  This is what the new direction of electronic music sounds like to me, or it should anyways.  He’ll be releasing his third album, aptly titled III, on May 28th via Aagoo Records, so be sure to pick this one up.

Appleseed Cast Are Back

Leave a comment

Appleseed Cast copy

I think we all know by now that I am the resident Appleseed Cast fanatic around these parts and I plan to keep it that way.  Today I was surprised and excited to see a new song called “Great Lake Derelict” floating around on the internet via various sites.  The Cast have been very quiet since the release of their last album Sagarmatha in 2009, so you can imagine my anticipation of new music from the band.  You can tell by the photo that the band lineup has changed drastically since their beginnings (only Chris Crisci remains from the original lineup), but the sound really isn’t all that different to me.  Though the drums are a bit sloppy and the whirling organ is new, the atmospheric, driving qualities are all still there.  It’s a badass song that I hope won’t go unnoticed by the indie world.  Respect the Cast.

New album Illumination Ritual is out April 23rd on Graveface Records.

Fresh New Pop from Generationals

Leave a comment

generationalsWe’ve long supported Generationals here on our site, and personally, I’m excited for their new album, Heza.  It’s clear that they’ve been messing with their formula just a little bit, which has some people a little weary; they haven’t let me down before, so why worry about such things now.  One thing the group always guarantee is infectious hooks that get stuck in your mind, and record player, for days or months.  I’m tapping my toes just bobbing to this song as we speak.  If you dig what you’re hearing, then get your hands ready for their new album when it hits stores on April 2nd on Polyvinyl Records.

Rocking with Growl

Leave a comment

1847203292-1Austin upstarts Growl just released their new EP, Gallery this past weekend, at what I heard was a riotous good time over at Hotel Vegas.  We might have missed the show, but we’re not going to let you miss out on one of the city’s best kept secrets.  Just because you feel like the band’s going in one direction, just wait a second, as they’re likely to switch it up to you.  The songwriting reminds me of a more energetic version of Hollywood Gossip, one of Austin’s most missed acts (in my mind anyways).  I’ve chosen this track to get you into the group, but I encourage you to travel HERE to pick it up!

New Tune from Paperfangs

Leave a comment

It looks like our good friends over at Soliti Records will be starting off 2013 the right way by releasing Past Perfect by Paperfangs.  This is the first single from the band’s new album, said to be the process of creating an album with multiple layers and stories that will unfold differently, depending upon what the listener brings to the table.  For my two cents, I like the electronic pulse of the track, which seemingly adds more diversity to a steadily growing stable of incredible bands.  Seems like the perfect way to start off our Monday here at ATH.

Quieted Pop from Lone Wolf

Leave a comment

The last 24 hours I’ve been inundated with political commentary, but my mind has begged and pleaded with me to escape. I wasn’t able to get this done until I heard this track from Lone Wolf, a missing track from his upcoming album, The Lovers.  It’s a sprawling bit of wondrous pop, rising and falling with Paul Marshall’s voice.  It’s allowed me to go off into my mind for a bit, enjoying the space where only music can take me.  If you like what you hear, look for The Lovers on November 27th.

New Jam from The Sea Life

Leave a comment

There’s tons of bands out there with the “sea” being used in their name, and here’s yet another one to add to your list, The Sea Life.  The DC group has just released their newest album, In Basements, which is really a great listen.  After a few EPs, the band really has come into their own, sounding confident and tighter than ever on this release.  The track below has this great guitar line that flirts with 90s alternative nostalgia, but the fuzzy vocals provide a more modern spin on things.  You’ll find other tracks similar to this, but also more creative pop tunes holding this release together.

Sorry I Missed This: New (ish) Album from Dappled Cities

Leave a comment

Man, what’s wrong with me?  I’ve been so swamped with US releases that I totally forgot to check in on Dappled Cities.  Long ago when we were a fledgling site with big ambitions, the group played our very first SXSW Show, and we were grateful to have them.  Apparently the group’s been working hard, just getting home after touring in support of  their latest LP, Lake Air.  I’m not sure how that slid under my radar, but better late than never, right?  It’s an energetic pop tune, sincere and bright, just as I remembered the band years ago.  Excuse me, I’m going to go immerse myself in this album. Do the same, won’t you?
