Eazyhead Share Feel Alright Video

Was momentarily at risk of going full on indiepop mode today, so wanted to mix up your morning by offering this brilliant bit of psychedelia from Filipino outfit Eazyhead. They’re offering up that sort of Brian Jonestown meets Spiritualized vibe, letting the song sort of billow in a circular nature, almost as if they’re crafting some sort of hazy seance that’s got you under it’s spell. In the latter half you’ve got this dynamic solo that cuts its way through the smog, but in that, there’s also an understated pop sensation that begins to filter through the noise, leaving you with this bright charm to close it out with a nice strum. The band are releasing Personal Echo Chamber via Dedstrange on August 23rd.

The Ekphrastics Share Make Your Own Snowboard

If music runs through your veins, you can’t stay away for long…which is why the old ghost called to Frank Boscoe (Vehicle Flips); he picked up and then began anew with The Ekphrastics…and now they’ve got a new LP coming your way. Our first listen to the title track, almost seems like it’s the missing link between indiepop and modern americana sounds. I was drawn towards the rolling chug of those guitar lines, wrapping themselves around each little melodic vocal line. The narrative nature is a grand life lesson too, offering up themes of doing your very best, despite expected outcomes. Honestly, you’ll find a great bit of familiarity luring throughout, and if you keep turning over musical stones, you’ll just reveal more of those special moments hidden beneath the surface. The band release Make Your Own Snowboard on August 16th via Harriet Records.

Fast Execution Announces Menses Music

This seems like the Summer of Dandy Boy Records, having already dropped new music from Yea-Ming and Kelley Stoltz, they now move forward with a new release from Fast Execution. The return of fuzzy rock continues, but singer Alex Velasquez would love for it to be less of a boy’s club, so she’s trimmed it of its fat and offers up this melodic brand that’s short and to the point. Drums hang in the background adding a little bulk to the tune, though the energetic rush of hooks need little else to get stuck inside your head. Menses Music will be released on August 8th!

Dutch Interior Sign with Fat Possum

Dutch Interior is a new-to-me act, and I’m definitely interested to hear where there music will go now that they’ve signed with Fat Possum and dropped a new single to a larger audience. Initially, the atmospheric build of the song was what took me; it’s got the perfect balance of escapism meets hurtling noise. When the vocals enter, they operate in this mundane manner, sort of settling the track or even just letting the listener breathe before the song unfurls into this bounding bit of post rock glory. You can crank it up, and honestly, you might not even need the lyrics, as the movement and power are that moving…so be on the lookout for. more from this LA act. Also…shout out to Joan Miro.

Crack Cloud Share the Medium

It’s early on Tuesday, and I definitely needed something to get me out of bed. The familiarity of Crack Cloud‘s latest single was definitely something that grabbed my interest, pulling the sheets off and reaching for my laptop. At first, it feels a bit like a young act mocking the Sex Pistols, but when you get in deeper you’ll hear a bit more polish, almost like they’ve repackaged the sound to bring bigger hooks. They reveal this further when they strip it all back in the middle, feeding a dreamy pop vocal performance right in the middle of the angst…and like the video’s balloon suggest…the song ends up being all pop, but in a refreshing manner. They release Red Mile on July 26th via Jagjaguwar.

7ebra Shares Daybreak

Not too long ago, 7ebra returned with the masterfully infectious “Normal Song,” their first new music since releasing Bird Hour; it had this incredible missing link between modern pop and Broadcast. Today, we get the other track from that 7″, with this newer track offering up a brew of slow-burning organ notes and drifting vocal melodies. It’s clear that the two have continued building their vocal interplay, which shines on this one, letting guitar notes wrap around each little note, with a faint heartbeat working as the main beat. You’ll get to hear this song on repeat if you grab a copy of the new Normal Song/Daybreak 7″, out July 5th via PNKSLM.

Pocket Full of Crumbs Share In My Home

While I’d love to pigeonhole the entire scene from San Francisco, you clearly can’t define a town by its largest exports, as shows by Pocket Full of Crumbs. Rather than offer up the dreamy nature that’s been a scene highlight, they’re bringing in something that feels a bit more menacing, running with these growling guitars that are reminiscent of the earliest Sonic Youth or Dinosaur Jr LPs. I suppose if you listen to the set up, there’s still an abstract dreaminess that runs through, guided by the velvety vocal notes that run right through. This track appears on In My Hand I Hold a Lucky Cricket, out July 16th via Cherub Dream Records.

Macseal Drop Four Legs Single

As we dive headfirst into the global warmth of Summer, good old fashioned pop tunes are perfect for those BBQs and parties with your friends, or those long drives after the rain cools things down…so you’ll need to pocket this Macseal tune for those playlists. There’s no frills and no tricks, just a classically written pop rock tune of the sort that lets you sing along and embrace the joy of your life. Sure, you can put the power-pop nod here, but it feels more like if Phantom Planet had kept cool and kept pumping out good rock n’ roll, or maybe like all the Fountains of Wayne tracks Stacy’s mom never heard. Whatever. It’s a great song, and their new album Permanent Repeat is out July 12th via Counter Intuitive Records.

Ghost Fan Club Share Now and Then

If you sit with this new single from Ghost Fan Club, you’ll likely find yourself straddling eras between current bedroom pop and early 00s indie rock. As the Bandcamp for the project says, the songs were recording “alongside spooky spirits,” and while that may be tongue-in-cheek, there’s definitely a shadowy solemnity to the song, which gives it that familiarity you want from the perfect bedroom pop piece. But, listening closely, you can also hear the affinity for folks like Isaac Brock, particularly in the way some of the guitar notes warble and bend in your speakers; it goes nicely with the the layered vocals from the ghosts that pop up sporadically, adding emphasis to the tune. The self-titled Ghost Fan Club LP will be out on July 14th.

Kosmetika Shares Reward Risk

As they prepare to unleash their next album, Melbourne’s Kosmetika are offering a punchy little punk ditty to let you sink your teeth into their sound. Their first single from the record was a little more expansive, but the rhythm section on their new hit preps you for a jolly good time. Guitar lines attempt to knife their way with a bit of sharpness, though it gets scuppered by the melodic nature the band seem to consistently be working towards. Their call and response vocal bounce adds a layer to the playfulness, taking a little bit of that edge and turning it into a proper pop number. Luxury drops on July 12th via Spoilsport Records.
