Adrian Marner Shares Too Young to Understand

One comment

If you’re a sucker for a distinctive vocal display, might we suggest you give a few spins to the latest single from Adrian Marner. There are moments when his delivery feels like its faltering, like there’s so much emotion he can barely contain himself; it has that fragility of early Conor Oberst works. As the the vocal steadies, he guides you with a light strum towards the chorus, where he turns the voice into something a little more angelic, stretching it into higher notes that fall perfectly when he draws out the pronunciation of “time.” Musically, there’s a classic songwriter feel, though there’s this careful attention to the supporting arrangement that gives the track just enough lift to keep the tune interesting, though it stays out of the way to let the magic of Marner’s voice shine. This tune brought to you by Zerowell Records.

SCHOOL Share NSMLYD Video

Leave a comment

There’s no denying that I hold the 90s Britpop sounds in high regard; I still listen to a bunch of stuff that I got into in the mid90s, so SCHOOL is definitely channeling those same vibes, albeit with a slightly noisier element that’s hanging about in their latest single, “N.S.M.L.Y.D.” You can hear the curl of the Gallagher brothers in the way the vocals just sort of wrap themselves up at the end of each syllables, perfecting that classic vibe. And, while the vocals are spot on, they’ve incorporated the modern revisiting of noise elements into the background, working just behind that straddling synth line, thus ensuring that it’s both nostalgic and modern and sure to please.

Lisasinson Offer Decidi Desaparecer

Leave a comment

I know that the majority of us really only enjoy our pop rock when it’s got these huge English hooks, but if you will, indulge yourself in Spanish outfit Lisasinson an their new single. They tease with a piano line, tinkering with offering up some sort of slick 80s pop ballad, but they don’t hang out their too long, letting the guitars run in and rip right through. A steady beat lets the song open, allowing guitar notes to jangle while the vocals get delivered sharply; the chorus has this feeling of bombast, successfully pushing things in a pure pop direction. You can feel the emotional push that gets your blood pumping and your spirit rising. This is the second single from the band’s next album, offered up by Elefant, with more news to follow.

Gabriel Birnbaum Shares A Feeling Unbroken

Leave a comment

We’ve had our eye on Gabriel Birnbaum for some time, whether that be his solo work, like the forthcoming Patron Saint of Tireless Losers, or his work with Wilder Maker. Today, we get this lonesome ballad from the solo side of things, drawing upon Birnbaum’s excellent voice to really sell the track itself. Musically, it’s pretty stark, with light hums from the gentle strum reverberating, kind of giving this almost percussive nature to the picked notes. By building in that depth of sound, it really allows Gabriel’s vocals to completely charm; there are moments when the melody is so sweet that you almost feel like its a chorale group serenading you. Patron Saint of Tireless Losers is out June 28th via Western Vinyl.

Mt Fog Drop Slowly Morphing

Leave a comment

Somewhere in the realm between thumping post-punk and artier brands of pop lives Mt. Fog and their new record, Ultraviolet Heart Machine. I’ve been pumping up this new single, “Slowly Morphing,” which, to be fair, sort of sounds otherworldly…there’s not too much that really sounds like what they’re offering. There’s this frantic riot grrrl sensation to the thundering vocal delivery, but even there, you can hear acts like Life Without Buildings or even Bjork channeling similar eerie vocals. You’ve got to give the rhythm section props here too, as the thumping bass line and snapping cymbal hits really give the track life and allow Carolyn B all the room she needs to wriggle into your earholes. You can grab the new record on September 17th via Ghost Mountain Records.

Hayes Noble Releases Got Over It

Leave a comment

Those fans of heavier indie rock, the ilk built on the backbone of Dinosaur Jr and the like will surely be fawning over Hayes Noble. His latest single has this swarming hoard of distorted guitars, the sort that will likely rattle your speakers if you turn it up to the appropriate volume. There’s still a youthful urgency coming from the 19 year old, which bleeds into the tune itself, whether that relate to the song’s nature or the lyrical content; it’s a celebratory feel that ensures Hayes’ work is on the rise. Noble’s been cranking out rad singles all year, so let’s hope we get a complete set before the year wraps up!

The Martial Arts Share Not Coming Down

Leave a comment

There’s a new album coming soon from The Martial Arts, and if we’re going in on this new single, it sounds like we’re going to be spinning around to some magnificent pop sweetness. The band claim this is “the indie pop/power pop answer song to Irene Cara’s ‘Flashdance (What a Feeling)’, and that makes sense as there’s a certain pop stomp that cruises through the song’s front half; it’s as upbeat and fist-pumping as you’re going to get form a pop rock act. They double down after the 2 minute mark, driving the riffs and infectious nature right through the speakers with such volume that your body is naturally inclined to sing-along, even if you haven’t memorized the lyrics just yet. You’re allowed to have fun and still be cool, I promise. We’ll keep you posted as we hear more about the new record, slated for an August release from WIAIWYA.

Holding Hour Share Come Undone

Leave a comment

When you get sucked into the brooding emotion of the opening moments on this new Holding Hour track, please don’t let yourself totally get lost. The band, as is their gift, take a slight turn, lifting the tune ever-so-slightly by rolling drums into something snappier, lifting the energy of the single. Marissa’s vocals have this great tonal rise, settling at the top as the walls of distorted guitar work their way behind those bombastic drum shots. And, as if they hadn’t shown off enough, there’s this incredible breakdown and solo that begins just before you reach the 3 minute mark, leaving you breathless and, hopefully, overcome with joy.

Stuart Pearce Shares The Bosses Are Stealing Your Days/Rules of Threes

Leave a comment

Lest we remind you, Stuart Pearce is a band, not a singular man, and today, the band has dropped a fresh new set of tunes for your ears. You get a little different dose of styles here, with one of the tunes taking on an Ian Dury/Dan Treacy bit of playfulness, while the flipside of the single offers up something a whole lot more aggressive. Both tunes are set to appear on the band’s forthcoming record, All This Vast Overproduction, so it should be interesting to see how this all plays out when that day comes: will they go pop? will they tie into the abrasive? Both options have an upside, but we’ll have to wait until we hear more from the band’s label Safe Suburban Home.

My Best Unbeaten Brother Share Extraordinary Times

Leave a comment

When My Best Unbeaten Brother popped onto my radar back in February, I knew I liked it, but was certainly interested to see where the band would go as they moved forward. Well, they’ve quickly become one of my favorite new acts, on the backs of another rad single playing below. It opens in what I kind of consider a come-hither finger wag; the softly spoken lyrical style with a bending guitar line beckons you into the track. Then backing vocals build texture just as the drums snap into their role. Suddenly, the guitars take on a different, distorted tone, almost swinging from side to side. And as if you were getting used that, one of the Ben’s ramps up his vocal delivery, frantically delivering line after line as it was the last thing he might ever say. Everything is catchy and crunchy, and there’s even a bit of Morrissey slander. Earnest pop rock of the best should have everyone in love with this lot. Pessimistic Pizza will be out on June 28th via Audio Antihero.
