Dedstrange Sign Sunset Images

Leave a comment

Today we bring you news that two of our favorite things are uniting: Mexico City and Dedstrange Records. RayRay and I love DF, and we’re really excited that the the label has picked up industrial noise makers, Sunset Images. Below you’ll find a new single, which is a remix from A Place to Bury Strangers. The drum work bites at your heels, forcing you to run through a shadowy hallway filled with reverberating riffs of noise; those moments get an emphatic punctuation from time to time, highlighting the intensity of the sound coming from the group. Their new album Oscilador will be out in January of next year, so expect more noise coming your way soon!

A New Bee Bee Sea Single

Leave a comment

The Italian scene is one I like to circle back to, unearthing some gems that probably skip the masses here in the States, like this new single from Bee Bee Sea. It’s a sloppy bit of frantic garage rock, the sort that would have made Thee Oh Sees really proud. The drum work gives the song this steady beat, while the guitars provide this jittery energy that shakes the tune and the listener to the core. As a band, they flirt with the song’s edge and energy, while also getting in just a bit of playfulness that makes the whole thing a joy. I’ve included the 7″ link, as the B-Side is a power pop gem you’ll want to also spend a minute or three with! It’s out now via Wild Honey Records.

Ted Bunny Share My Dear Darling

Leave a comment

For some reason, this morning felt like it was geared especially for a swaying ballad, albeit one that falls just a little left of the dial, thus why I’m here cranking the new Ted Bunny single. At times, the group offer a soul tune for your ears, with quick little drum snaps and guitar licks playing up the energy; I think the chorus is where I found the charm. When the line “oh it feels like love” comes in, there’s a tonal switch that completely overwhelms with melody and it will crush your heart perfectly. Give the tune a listen and tell me your day didn’t start off on the right foot!

Another New Joel Cusumano Tune

Leave a comment

When Joel Cusumano announced Waxworld, the opening single seemed like a side-step to his work in various San Francisco outfits. But, “Death-Wax Girl” feels like he’s pushing towards a bit of a broader sound, albeit one with breadcrumbs to his pop roots. The heaviness of his voice is omnipresent in this song, providing an almost melancholic melody that works in between the ethereal vocal notes that carry it from the background. While it operates in the ballad format, some of the sonics of the mix give it sort of a post-punk vibe, like if JaMC wanted to play an acoustic set in your living room…and I’m totally here for it. Waxworld is out October 24th via Dandy Boy Records.

Another Radioactivity Track

Leave a comment

We found out recently that there’d be a new Radioactivity record on the horizon, and there’s another rush of energy to get you stoked for Time Won’t Bring Me Down. The band don’t waste any time on this single, hitting you instantly with smashing drums and a rush of guitars that refuse to let up as the song pushes through 98 seconds of furious power pop. There’s a slight chorus in the track, but the musical style doesn’t really get altered, pushing you across the finish line with a hook-laden knife’s edge rocker that’ll have you excited to hear the whole record; Time Won’t Bring Me Down is out on October 31st via Dirtnap Records.

Whalers Share Scarecrow Single

Leave a comment

Are old buddies in Whalers are working out some new tunes, and today we’ve got one of those new jams for you to sample. This one caught my ear with that rhythmic pulse that’s made available to listeners almost instantly; it sets up a little bit of noise in the background, providing a bit of weight that works in contrast to the vocals. Those vocals soar, meant for bombast as you’ll see when the track erupts around the 3 minute mark, celebrating the passage of indie folk tendencies as they move to a crashing rock close. Always excited to hear what the group’s working on, so when there’s more, you’ll hear it from us!

The Wesleys Share Explosive Device Single

Leave a comment

In what seems like a continuous cycle of bad-assery, Meritorio Records has another great release on their line-up for the end of 202: The Wesleys Explosive Device EP. The first single from the release had a driving rhythm to it, but this go round, they’ve opened the song up a bit, letting the guitars kind of shimmer in the background, creating this psychedelic sway that moves the song; there’s something in that reminds me of a slightly more upbeat Clientele. Twisting their sound leaves listeners on notice that you’re going to get your moneys worth when you pick up the EP, with a little bit of energy and a little bit of pop, so be sure to grab a copy from Meritorio Records before the Novemeber 7th release.

The Lions Constellation Return with New Moon Rising

Leave a comment

Those of you who’ve followed the last couple of decades of shoegaze and dreampop should already be familiar with Spanish act The Lions Constellation (featuring RJ from Lost Tapes). But, they’ve only had two releases, that is until now…today they announce their brand new LP, New Moon Rising. We’re fortunate to offer you the first listen, with this brightly twisting guitar dancing in the forefront, then peeling back so the vocals can soothe from the core of the tune. Those notes get to soar a little bit in the chorus, with a fiery wall of distortion lifting up the melody as “but if you…” crests and rides atop the mix. They’ve grasped the perfect balance here too, as nothing seems too bold or too melodic, all of the things mixing and melding together into a great ball of noise…even as the track pushes towards a sort of mini-breakdown that opens up again to the chorus. They’re brand new LP will be out on November 21st via Shelflife in the States and Make Me Happy/Too Good to Be True in Europe.

Longing Louisa Shares Cabin Talk

Leave a comment

One of my favorite things about befriending folks from labels all over the world is being introduced to unique artists like Finland’s Longing Louisa. Initially, the draw is singer Reeta Hotti’s voice, toying with these dynamic changes in pitch and tone, classic pop at moments and more peculiar in spaces. Beneath her voice are little ornate flourishes of texture, almost like the song’s tip-toeing through sunny sands; you can feel the gentle warmth right beneath when listening to this track. If you’re looking for some quiet respite in a world gone mad, maybe you need some “Cabin Talk.” This tune appears on the forthcoming record Waterphile record, which drops on November 7th via Soliti.

Special Pillow Share Banana Freak Out

Leave a comment

If you’ve ever heard the George Guzman classic “Banana Freak Out,” be prepared to hear it in a new perspective from the upside down, as New Jersey’s The Special Pillow have taken it to some dark places. Musically, they’ve taken the old school funk/soul nature and turned it into this thundering piece of brooding psychedelia. The vocal work is heavy and definitely sits well in the mixture, almost like a demonic presentation as the drums thunder in the background. Seems like the perfect adaptation for the spooky seasons we’re in…and yet also just another reminder of the great work the band keep churning out!
