Shintaro Sakamoto Shares Is There a Place For You There

Leave a comment

We realize that a lot of cool lists will probably run this week, but at the moment, I’m just starting to look forward to what’s coming out early next year, like the forthcoming Shintaro Sakamoto LP. This tune seems to be a calling to finding your own place in the world, or at least the one that fits each individual person, but its crafted in this spiritual psychedelia that usually accompanies Sakamoto’s craft. There’s this sort of mysterious bend in the guitar notes, akin to what we’d get on typical psychedelic flair, but in that, the tune ends up sort of spinning as these little flutes or woodwind cousins burrow into the song’s consciousness. It’s the best sort of trip, and look for Yoo-hoo on January 23rd via Zelone Records.

Pet Owner Share FOMU Single

Leave a comment

Another act I adore, Pet Owner, is hinting at what’s in store for us when the new year opens the door to fresh tunes; today we’re sharing “FOMU,” which is operating mostly as a low-end electro pop ballad. What I mean by the low-end, as it’s clearly employing the bouncing nature of the pop genre, is that she’ll pull away and sprinkle in these little moments of singer-songwriter fashion, opening the doors to where her album could possibly go. It’s both delicate and luxurious in its approach to synth-oriented pop, so I’m already penciling in her works as one of my favorite things about 2026!

Morning Pop from Foamboy

Leave a comment

We’re almost there friends, and I promise we’re going to all make it to Friday; we’ve got this great track from Portland’s Foamboy. They’re kind of hitting that sweet spot of electro-pop, wherein they’re just on the cusp of being overly amplified, but they hold back so it doses push into pure schmaltz. Think of a Chromeo record, only a little more seductive and built for longevity, and you’ll pick up on the vibes here. This song’s built around a love story that just didn’t quite finish, sputtering out and leaving our lover with nothing more “than a book and a cold.” Step into Thursday my friends.

Major Murhphy Share Like a Wrecking Ball

Leave a comment

When the heavier strum of the guitar gets locked in on this new Major Murphy tune, there is something that happens to your soul; it’s a subtle little hook, but the sort that pulls you deep inside the tune. Once they’ve got your attention, they take their Americana vibes and begin to flesh out the background by layering backing vocals and sliding guitar to stretch the song to the horizon. The perks of this tune is that you can also hear a demo version accompanying the single, giving off a super stripped down version of the tune, equally as intoxicating. This tune is brought to courtesy of Winspear.

Lucid Express Announce Instant Comfort

Leave a comment

The humidity outside my window is such that there’s a wall of condensation building, meaning we’re likely in for a rainy day here in Texas, and Lucid Express have the perfect tune to sneak into the weather. They carefully let you into the tune, opening it up with these intermingling guitar notes that are spacious, yet you can feel the tension as it builds; it crashes into you right at the 46 second mark, but it’s a brief display of force before they sneak back to a safer, quieter moment. From there, they immerse you in the dreamier realms of pop music, intermittently letting the noise play its part in their sound. If you’re enjoying their vibe, you’ll want to keep an eye out for Instant Comfort, coming your way in February of next year!

Matt Kivel Shares Vampire Weekend

Leave a comment

The entirety of Matt Kivel‘s new record is all about storytelling, detailing his life as a musician living in LA, and how he made it out alive! His latest single instantly hits at the struggle to make it out, musically from the city, with a nod to Vampire Weekend and their success during the 00s. Going through, I love the sincerity with simplistic charms like “my sad songs aren’t sad enough/my weary songs aren’t weary enough, reflective and yet openly self-deprecating. His guitar play in the middle of verses is pretty special too, displaying his craftsmanship, lovingly including a bit of gritty guitar riffs; plus a nice little Everly Brothers nod never hurt nobody! Escape from LA will be out via Scissor Tail Records, with a release show here in Austin on the 12th!

Strange Men Share Under the Compass Rose + Drop Come Yesterday

Leave a comment

Sorry for the long-winded title on this post, but I’m a bit frazzled as I play the new LP from Strange Men. They just released their debut album after a handful of singles, and I’m honestly surprised that there hasn’t been more buzz from the West Coast contingent, as the band rips. The tune below reminds me of the perfect smash between Pains of Being Pure at Heart and Comet Gain, noisy in the right spots with a beautiful tendency to lean into the pop side of things. Elsewhere on Come Yesterday, you’ll find scuzzy rockers and little indie nuggets, all of which will make you appreciate the group’s first offering!

Diles Que No Me Maten Revisit Manos de Piedra

Leave a comment

If you’ve been on board with Mexico’s Diles Que No Me Maten, the odds are you’ve either heard this song live, or you’ve heard it on their earliest album, Edificio (2020). But, as the band have grown both sonically and as humans, the song began to take a different shape, ending up in a different space than where it was before. So, as they’re currently working on a run in the US, it seems like the perfect time to circle back and rerecord the tune for new audiences. I was really drawn to the pronounced punctuation at the 2 minute mark from Jonas, before the song goes bleak and begins to space out into something like an accented piece of spoken word. Really love what this group is working on.

We Are Joiners Drop White Thread

Leave a comment

Feel like every place I turn, someone is struggling or someone is bummed or someone is seeking a better day, so I wanted to kick off the day with this We Are Joiners tune. The Dutch trio open up pretty aggressively, even embracing that maniacal manner with a screaming vocal nipping at the heels of the world. But, what sold me completely was the beautiful chorus, collecting the noise and swirling it around in a pot of delicious hooks; they continue to mix in melody and noise throughout the song’s final minute, and each time I press play, I’m falling further with the group’s sound. Crank it up and piss off your neighbors!

Club 8 Offer Monthly Single

Leave a comment

For the briefest of moments I thought I was going to get Club 8 covering Faith No More, but alas they turned the heavy thump of drums into another playful pop ditty. This single is their 11th installment of monthly singles, and they’ve been pretty consistent in terms of their style, blending in little electronic moments with a classic indiepop sound. I think over the last few singles, and like the one below, they’ve really flexed some of the vocal abilities, which you can hear as the song crests to its close. This is a brief one, so press play and be prepared to soak it all up!
