Bubblegum Lemonade Releases Love’s Young Nightmare EP

Leave a comment

Another morning treat as I opened the inbox was a fresh batch of tunes from Bubblegum Lemonade; the opening track is one of the singles from the forthcoming Lawrence of Suburbia LP. That opening single sees Laz playing in power-pop mode, albeit still dripping with the melodic sweetness of his earlier work. It does fit right into the vein of where a lot of the pop resurgence comes from, but there are some special treats from the non-album cuts featured here. Personally, I’m drawn to “America Calling” as the song features Sandra from Strawberry Whiplash lending her powerful pipes to build the hooks. Can’t wait to hear the entirety of this new album, but for now, a sprinkle of new music is just the right touch for a Friday. Music on the Love’s Young Nightmare EP brought to you by Matinee Recordings.

Slack Times Announce Gone Things EP

Leave a comment

It’s been a couple of years since we fell in love with Carried Away, the last we heard from Alabama’s Slack Times. Alas, we need look to the past no more, as the group have a brand new EP on the way. It’s a brief venture, twirling jangling guitars before our yes, then moving right into a rollicking bit of ups and downs, with the vocals delivered in a manner that feels like lost territory between sweet indiepop and the jangles of the Clean. There’s certainly some mannerisms in the songwriting that all the kids, like us, will love. Gone Things EP is slated for a release on October 11th via Meritorio Records.

Fascinations Grand Chorus Share Summer Love

Leave a comment

While the Summer season may be drawing to its close (please God please!), it looks as if Fascinations Grand Chorus are yet to give up on the dream, as today, they drop a brand new EP brimming with sunshine and warmth that will hold you over through Winter. It’s a nostalgic sound, one that sees the group really hitting on traditional harmonies and sonic vibes that would make Brian Wilson proud. Still, they spin the entirety of their style through a modern indiepop lens, giving it the slightest playfulness that almost feels like they’re giving the fans a little wink as they dance down the beach! Give Summer Love a listen!

The Gaby’s Announce New 7″ EP

Leave a comment

If you run in the cool-kid indie circle, mention of the Gabys yesterday was all over everyone’s timeline, rejoicing in the news that there was a fresh EP on the way. We’ve only got this one track to go off, but it sees them dwelling in that brilliantly mellowed pop realm. There’s a lonesome quality to the guitar lines, trickling and bending ever-so gently, almost weary as they lay down before the vocals. Those vocal notes are pretty near perfect, rising just beneath the ride of the cymbals to offer a calmed resolve that’ll certainly have your pop ears ready for the release of their new 7″; it drops via Fruits and Flowers on August 23rd.

Rock Out with Sylvia

Leave a comment

Felt like the best way to begin a Friday was with a solid bit of rock n’ roll, though of course it would also come with a little melodic morsel to sample, like this ripping new Sylvia tune. They’ve just recently dropped EP II, and while I didn’t catch on until just now, you can bet I’ll have you cranking up your speakers immediately. The tune rushes right in with this shattering smatter of noisy discord, all centered around singer Gemma’s voice. Something about the vocals comes across as a bit pensive; they seem dreamy, sure, but they kind of feel as if they’re more of a place of solace amidst the band’s brash sounds. Sample this tune, then go check out the rest of EP II.

Ghost Fan Club Shares Love Bug + Drops New EP

Leave a comment

We’ve already teased the release of Ghost Fan Club for a couple of singles, and now we offer you one final reason to invest in the group’s new EP, officially out today! Opening up your ears, you’ll find a lightness to the song’s craft, as it’s a trickling bit of guitar and whispering vocals billowing through your speakers; they add in some textured percussion and a little grooving synth line to flesh things out. Around the 1:50 mark you get a little directional change, bringing in a kind of emphatic little midtrack stomp that wiggles in some variation before settling back into the bread and butter of the band’s craft. Enjoy the single below and adventure into the depths of the EP HERE.

 

Stream the The Blind Trust EP from the Wild Kindness

Leave a comment

We’ve been patiently waiting to share the latest batch of songs from The Wild Kindness with you; they’ve had the Blind Trust EP in the works for a little bit. Today, you can stream the EP in its entirety, finding yourself lost in the pop maze they’ve build up before you. At times, you have energetic numbers like “Pay That Price” or “She’s Got Suitors,” which have one foot in the history of Austin’s pop scene, with acts like Voxtrot coming to mind. Still, you can slide into a track like “No One Belongs Here More Than You,” and feel the careful influence of acts like Death Cab seeping through the recording. I love the vocal switch that comes in with the line “did you sleep through the night/I doubt it.” Enjoy a listen to the whole EP below.

Sara Devoe Shares Sleep With Me

Leave a comment

When you click on this new single from Brooklyn’s Sara Devoe, you get the feeling she’s been operating in the same territory as Winter, swirling dreamy pop elements in a cauldron with a dash of this grunge bit here and a dash of that electronica there. You’ll find moments here when the propulsive beat pushes the song forward, allowing Devoe’s vocals to sort of float about in a ghostly manner. Other times, that beat gets thick and almost stormy beneath the vocals, adding just the faintest bit of anger to the tune, which elevates it above average-fare bedroom pop. This track features on a forthcoming EP, which we hope to hear more about shortly!

Cardinals Share New Single Nineteen

Leave a comment

So Young Records started off as an offshoot of the magazine of same name and the label has grown and added an impressive roster of up and coming artists. With such buzzing bands like Humour, Been Stellar, and Slow Fiction to name a few, the label is building into something great. A recent addition to the roster, Ireland based Cardinals, just dropped this short and powerful new single “Nineteen” today. Though the song comes in at under 2 minutes, I’m sure you’ll find yourself hitting repeat at least more than once as soon as it’s over.

Cardinals will release this track as part of a new self-titled EP which is due out on June 7th via So Young Records. Pre-orders are live now.

Billy Tibbals Shares Out of Touch

Leave a comment

The more I listen to Billy Tibbals the less I seem to know how to describe his craft. There are times where the bratty vocal delivery reminds me of Jay Reatard; then he rolls his tongue and comes across like Geddy Lee or some other master of prog sentiment. All of it gets punched in through a frantic bit of huge riffs and playful little recording mix nuances like the telephone call in the midst of this single. At times he’s driving and punchy, then turns around and feels playful, as if he’s been playing with us all along. Then you get to the end and you hear a bit of Bolan or Bowie, bridging all these influences to leave you with a track that surely soars if you crank it all the way up! His Nightlife Stories EP is out this Friday via Silver Arrow Records.
