Color Palette Share Barcelona Single

Waking up on a Monday can be a struggle, so we need something with just the right amount of edge and pop to kind of awaken us from that weekend slumber; Color Palette is here to give us both! Much like Endearments, they’re playing a brand of indie rock that’s just on the softer side of heavy jangle pop; you can hear the distortion and noise lurking, but they’re never quite let into the party on this tune, trading for shimmering pop melodies that soar right through your speakers. Can’t really imagine a better way to kick off the fresh tunes of this week, so here you are!

Last Week’s Jams (3.2 – 3.6)

Started off with a banging amount of rock n’ roll last week, and then sort of fizzled as the week drew to a close, so all apologies. Still, there was plenty of news and new music for you; we had several SXSW Interviews too, since the festival kicks off this week! Plus, we announced the return of Welcome to the Jangle on Sunday, March 15th. But, new stuff from the likes of Memorials and Greg Mendez caught our ears, as did the newest single from zzzahara, who included Winter on their latest single. Friko continued to keep us guessing on where they’re headed, and some bonus indiepop from the Maureens and Succulents! Jump in below!

Last Week’s Jams (2.23 – 2.27)

When it rains it pours, and if we’re looking back in time, last week it was pouring with great jams and great records. Whether I was bopping to new Winspear signing Swapmeet, or cranking up that new She’s Green single, there just wasn’t enough time to cover it all. I mean, there was new Voxtrot, new Heavenly…and even Ceremony dropped a live LP, and that’s just the good records that hit. We had new music from Accessory and Season 2, plus new jams from King Tuff and Deary. If you click play below, you’re in for a good hour or more of sweet music, so what are you waiting for?

 

Last Week’s Jams (2.9 – 2.16)

Okay, so we took off Monday. Sorry about that, but there was some holidays and I got to spend some time with my kids. Now I’m circling back, and man, we had some bangers last week, or at least in my brain. I really loved hearing new stuff from Salt Lake Alley and Seasonal Falls, both acts from overseas who we’ve loved for quite some time. Plus, it’s an added bonus we got to continue to support our local homies in Touch Girl Apple Blossom as they announce their debut for K Records. We got to premiere a new track from 37 Houses with some powerhouse vocals you’ll want to crank up, plus that new Deathcrash tune isn’t too shabby either. Jump in below.

Last Week’s Jams (2.2 – 2.6)

What a music-filled week we had over here; there was new stuff, covers and even some live show coverage from our friend Michael Maly. Austin was on fire, with a new Voxtrot track, new Paper Sister jam, and of course, those photos from the Almost Heaven show that highlighted our local coverage. I’d also like to say Natalie Jane Hill, who is blowing me away with her new work, is like Austin adjacent, though she no longer lives in town. Old Nathan loves like Red, Pinks and Purples and the Rural Alberta Advantage made an appearance, plus, if we’re looking at long-winded names we wrote about, we couldn’t miss Rolling Blackout Coastal Fever‘s return either! Lots of stuff to enjoy below. Happy Monday!

Rolling Blackout Coastal Fever Return

The ATH crew have varied tastes here, but one group I think we all love is the Aussie bunch, Rolling Blackout Coastal Fever, who return today with their first new music in years (4 to be exact!). When you encounter the tune, you’ll see it stretching beyond 6 minutes, which may seem like a bit much for a pop song. But, what I love about the group is that when they ride into their long-form you can’t really tell; it’s like time stops and they switch between snaking guitar lines and bright choruses, with each moment being made to feel as if its a patch woven into the fabric of song. For example, fast forward to the 4 minute mark. Really excited to hear new music, and hope its got promise for a future LP!

 

Last Week’s Jams (1.26 – 1.30)

The fun thing about running a site that doesn’t beg you to pay subscriptions is we can kind of cover whatever we want, whenever we want. I started off the week kind of tossing my hair back to the previous week to get into the new Imaad Wasif and Club 8 jams. Then as we went forward, we covered the last singles from excellent records from both Annabelle Chairlegs and Joyce Manor. Not one to miss out on Austin jams, we got the new tune up from Don’t Get Lemon. Sprinkled it all in with some ATH faves like Prism Shores, Charm School and King Tuff. Give it all a listen!

Listen to Title Track from Bird Friend’s New LP

Just last week, Bird Friend released their new long-player, Goodbye, Babylon, and I’ve definitely felt at home listening to the record’s blended styles. At times you can almost hear the guitar ghosts of various acts like the Feelies or the Bats; they embrace a mixture of sharp notes leaning up against really solid strummed acoustics. Typically, that would be enough, though I’d be lying if I didn’t own up to loving the earnestness of the vocal work on the tune; it feels alive in the recording, and that, in turn makes me feel alive within the track too. If you’re enjoying, then you’ll want to listen to the whole of Goodbye, Babylon right HERE.

The New Tigers Return

I’m a big fan of Finnish outfit The New Tigers, and they’ve mostly been quiet since the release of their Do Xao LP back in 2018, with the rare single here and there. Today, they’re back with a new single and news that a new LP will be out in 2026. On today’s singles, they embrace a lighter side of guitar pop, though they’re careful to include a driving enthusiasm that bleeds through the distorted riff work. They fill the spaces in between with drifting melodies and charm that make it difficult to pull away from, as if you’d even want to! The second of the tunes is a really beautiful ballad, so I hope you’ll take the time to invest in listening to the group’s latest offerings; look for the new LP via Soliti in the new year!

Fran Carlyon Shares New Music

If you’re not living in Texas where there’s two seasons, Summer and Longer Summer, you might be looking to cuddle of in a blanket and find a little solace from the Fall weather changes; you’ll need some easy listening, and we couldn’t think of a better way than to settle in with two new track from Fran Carlyon. The UK songwriter just shared a few new songs before heading into the Winter season to hole up and write a whole record (or that’s what we’re thinking), and the gentleness will help you find your footing. On the opening single of the two tunes, you encounter a quiet strum, with nothing but Fran’s voice guiding you; leaving the tune so open allows you to just immerse yourself in the quieted melody, sinking deep within the song and Fran’s storytelling. Hoping he comes back with a brilliant LP in 2026.
