InnerInnerLife Prep IfOnly

Leave a comment

Before you settle into your day, you’re best served with a pleasant sit outside, soaking in the world around you while you sip your tea or coffee, and with that, you might just like some light accompaniment, the sort innerinnerlife is providing on their latest single. The Polish artist crafts really delicate ambient pop, and when he slips into the vocal work on this tune, the casual cool makes some references to any number of electronic indie acts (though I hear bits of Radio Dept). It’s a pensive piece, and one that allows you just let your mind get swept away, where anything goes and nothing else matters but the moment. If Only. Thew new LP, IfOnly is out on November 7th.

Pia Fraus Share New Tune

Leave a comment

It’s likely going to be a pretty sparse day in terms of new releases, so let’s glance over our shoulder at this new tune from Estonian outfit Pia Fraus. On this go round, the rhythm section is the driving force, hitting heavier notes than what we’ve heard from the group in previous outings. That said, they’re still switching up the style within, moving within their own confines, taking heavy notes and letting them billow into melodic moments that make the track standout. They continue to balance their own velvety sounds with their adoration for noise, coming out as winners yet again.

Sloan Brothers Share In a Movie

Leave a comment

You’ve always got to keep an eye on what’s going on down in the Athens music scene, and it looks like we’ve got great news as there’s a new Sloan Brothers EP on the horizon. The working project of R. Sloan Simpson and friends come out of the gates swinging here, taking an Americana-drenched power-pop and stirring it up with some dreamy elements to keep you on your toes. Those fiery guitar licks are omnipresent in the group’s work, but its the way the vocals settle into the fuzz that really stands out, dampening the punch just enough to allow the masterful hooks to ease under your skin. If you’re into it, then be sure to look for the Middle-Aged Love EP, out on November 7th.

Spend Time with Altai

Leave a comment

Tessa Collins is a relatively new voice out of Australia, working under the moniker Altai. We’ve covered quite a few of the singles, but today we’ve got one final tune to celebrate the release of All At Once, the debut EP from the songwriter. This new single highlights the strengths in her songwriting, offering glimpses of what was ornate and detailed, then letting those rise in the studio into huge pop masterpieces. Her gentle whisper on the tune below, accompanied by twinkling guitar notes, perfectly highlight that closeness she shares with the audience, though the production hints at huge pop swells that you’ll welcome in your listening rotation. All At Once is available below, so you can stream all of that HERE.

Listen to Kan Kan’s Another Long Goodbye

Leave a comment

The other day we dove into the latest track from Pocket Full of Crumbs, who just released a split with Kan Kan. But, I forgot to flip the 7″ over, which was my mistake, as there’s a definite tasty morsel awaiting your ears. On the tune below, it’s got that sort of solo J. Mascis feel to it, albeit with a touch more warmth on the guitar notes, sliding more into that melodic realm. Those guitars notes seem to kind of curl up and wrap themselves around the vocals, giving off this intimacy that’s surely going to seduce listeners sitting by the glowing embers of this tune. Their split 7″ is available now from Cherub Dream Records.

Brian Bilston and the Catenary Wires Share New Single/Video

Leave a comment

When British poet Brian Bilston signed on to work with the Catenary Wires (Rob and Amelia of Heavenly), I’ll admit that I was curious as to how it would work. Their collective collaboration led to Sounds Made by Humans, which danced between spoken-word and delightful indiepop; I think the new video below is the perfect all-encompassing piece, and one of the standouts on the LP. A rush of jangling guitars, soaring harmonies and a little bit of percussive stomp set the tone, but Bilston’s appearance seems fitting for the style, offering a contrast, both lyrically and tonally, setting up the little jig that the guitar line walks between verses. The video takes old Heavenly promo footage and incorporates the song, sealing the circle of Bilston’s love with Rob and Amelia’s old band; this video celebrates the LP out on Skep Wax, as well as a forthcoming tour through the UK!

Hadda Be Return with New to the Office

Leave a comment

It’s been a few years since Hadda Be dropped their glorious debut, Another Life; it was a record that got tons of press overseas, and so today their return is welcome news. I think the angular riffs are going to immediately label their sound as a post-punk brand, particularly with those sharp riffs and growling bass lines; the vocals do sit in a matter-of-fact fashion, not unlike Dry Cleaning or the like. For me, there are some other influences like the Raincoats, especially when the whole group comes in to deliver a soft vocal chorus. There’s a third little moment that’s angry, taking it out upon the routines of modernity in our world. A glorious return!

Joyer Are At the Movies

Leave a comment

The much anticipated Joyer record is just two weeks away from the drop date, and with that, they’ve got one more album sampler for your ears. Of all the tunes they’ve dropped this might be the one that hits closest to my daily listening habits, hanging on the edge of an atmospheric piece that takes an acoustic structure and stretches it into this pensive realm where your able to sit in the middle of the tune and soak the melody up. Really enjoying the previews we’ve got, and looking to On the Other End of the Line, out October 24th via Julia’s War.

Cistern Announce Debut Album

Leave a comment

Canadian outfit Cistern have been on my radar for a few years, featuring members of Nov3l and Crack Cloud, so when news broke of their debut album on the list for October releases, I was ready to jam. On my first several runs through of this lead single, I was instantly drawn to the sharp groove that hits, cutting the dancefloor up with these high kicks and just a little playfulness; you’ll get a little vocal treat that’s reminiscent of their hit “Crisis” too, so stay with your ears locked in. The group worked on the album by piecing the tunes together, working in notes here and there, and you can certainly hear that in the back half of this tune. If you’re ready to rock to this tune, then you’ll be ready to rock to Rhizomes when it drops on October 17th.

Speed Week Return with Automate Me

Leave a comment

A few weeks ago we brought you the lead single from the forthcoming Speed Week LP, and now here we are with another growling bit of indie rock that solidifies the band’s place in my listening rotation. Musically, they shift into snapping rhythms and angular knife cuts on the guitar, providing the listener with a jittery sensation while Elliot Gee stalks the audience. The song’s swirling about you, but Gee keeps things centered, like the gravitational pull with an emphatic delivery that matches up with the modern world; I do love how he pulls a little bit of Johnny Rotten in the line “I want you to automate me!” Look for their Weak Speed LP on August 16th via Endless Recordings.
