Hits Announce World of Dirt
In the “File Under Things I Missed” category from Friday, we’ve got new music from Hits as they announce their newest LP, World of Dirt. There are two singles that just popped up, and they both offer a glimpse at the continuance of pop purveying within the confines of Oakland.

Looking forward to hearing the whole of World of Dirt, which is out August 23rd via Paisley Shirt Records.

We also flirted with a bit of electronic arts too, with new stuff from Martha Rose and Maria Chiara Argiro…just so you don’t think we’re all rock n’ roll over here. Anyways, start your week off here.
Before pressing play, just stop. Take a breath. Clear your mind for a moment and prepare yourself for 
While it may have only been a four day week in terms of work, we made sure we made the best of it for you, bringing you a slew of hot indie rock bangers. Slumberland had a great week, dropping new music from Umbrellas, and introducing us to Torrey too! We were stoked to share a new video from the BVs as well, flipping their style a bit to tease you with what’s in store going forward. Some Texas love for Infinites and Alien Eyelid was a must, with an added bonus being that our friends in Pale Lights dropped a compilation of rarities and singles on Friday. Stream below and find something to adore.
Austin’s Claire Hamilton has a pretty solid pedigree in our town, having played in Queue Queue and Thor/and Friends, among other projects. But, as of now she’s operating her own 
Seeing as we’re all living in Austin, somehow, we always have to try and hold up our end of the scene by throwing our weight behind what we love. So, seeing as it’s Friday, there’s a few new releases to get on your radar.
