This Is Lorelei Shares Where’s Your Love Now

Leave a comment

While I’m sure folks already have a lot of records penciled in for year-end awards, one that maybe wasn’t on my list that’s risen up there pretty quickly is Nate Amos’ This Is Lorelei project. There’s something to be said for just writing damned good songs, absent of excessive frills and genre trappings. This new track offers up this striking sincerity, and while there clearly are some arrangement pieces built in, you could easily hear Amos singing this song to a quieted room, casting his magical spell over them all. You likely won’t be able to pull yourself from the emotive detailing here, and that bodes well, as this is the third single with such power from Box for Buddy, Box for Star; the record drops on June 14th via Double Double Whammy.

Plus/Minus Share Calling Off the Rescue

Leave a comment

As much as we probably pay attention to release dates and all that, it doesn’t seem like Plus/Minus (+/-) really have missed a beat, despite not having a proper album out in some time. This new single feels like it has the same gloriousness that saw the band rise in the indie realm by blending in sharp guitar licks with powerful vocals; there’s something in Patrick Ramos’ vocals that just grasps onto this ethereal nature that allows the tune to kind of flutter and flicker as it spins about the air. Really love the band’s breakdown around the 2:50 mark where they just let loose and revel in the noise they’re capable of bringing to the forefront. Look for Further Afield on May 31st via Ernest Jenning Record Co.

 

Mighty Clouds Share Anagram Single

Leave a comment

If you wanted to start off your day with springing pop rock music, may we quickly turn your attention to this track from Mighty Clouds. For starters, the band features Fred Thomas, who pretty much has the Midas’ Touch of indie rock, guaranteeing that you’ll be charmed within the confines of this tune. It’s got a good bit of dancing guitar lines, occasionally cascading off the beaten path into dreamier territories. Betty Marie Barnes has some solid pipes too, reminiscent of Rosie Tucker, turning these notes that seem almost out of tune into earworms. If you’re into this, you’ll find this as the A-Side to a new single from Antiquated Future Records on June 7th.

New Music from OWF

Leave a comment

Honestly, there’s not really a lot of information about OWF; there’s no Instagram or Bandcamp, and barely a presence on Spotify. That said, there’s something intriguing about the music that I’ve heard from the artists. There are moments when there’s the wry humor and heart-on-the-sleeve sincerity of Stephin Merritt, but at other times, there’s this sort of poetic playfulness like a Juan Wauters. It’s a quick little jaunt of sparse bedroom pop material, but the more I listen, the more I’m fascinated by this sort of outsider pop approach. I’ll keep you posted if we get to hear more!

Winter Share’s Shaniatwainlovestory

Leave a comment

Samira Winter is set to release her new …and She’s Still Listening EP, and this time takes on the narrative of Shania Twain’s husband leaving her for one of her best friends. This song works with a meandering guitar line that is joined by a thick beat that provides the rhythmic element holding the tune up. There’s a nice little jump up too when you hit the track’s latter half, as distorted guitar smashes through your speakers as the tune draws to a close. It’s a continuous process, and one that shows Winter growing into new sonic territory. Plus, a bonus for those of you in Europe, as there’s a slate full of dates throughout June!

Letting Up Despite Great Faults Share Swirl

Leave a comment

Okay, so “Swirl” has been floating around for a few days now, but to be fair, there’s been a lot of really great music, so I’m finally sitting down to enjoy new stuff from Letting Up Despite Great Faults. This new song illustrates some recent moves of the band, allowing songwriter Mike Lee to let go of the vocals, thus giving Annah more of the light. This move, as apparent on the tune below, maintains the band’s dreamy softness, as Fisette’s voice isn’t too far off from the tones Lee offers when he’s on the mic. I love the classic dance of the guitars here, sounding like something you’d find on a Republic B-sides collection…and a bonus for the band as they got Jay Som to lend some mixing help…another sign that these are good things on the rise.

Zero Point Energy Share Disintegration

Leave a comment

This Friday Zero Point Energy will finally release their forthcoming Tilted Planet LP, and I am definitely going to be spending a good deal of time with it. Today, they offer up another single that’s grabbed my attention, as the music holds to a spirited style of indie rock, but Genesis’ vocal performance offers us a glimpse at something a little different. Where there have been hints at an underlying edginess, the vocals have this guttural growl this go round, providing a bit of a rough edge that slightly changes the band’s dynamic sound. I like that prospect, as it allows for just a hint of differentiation on the listen. Tilted Planet is out via Danger Collective on Friday!

Another Club 8 Single

Leave a comment

Not sure if we’re going to be getting a full-length Club 8 record, or if the band have just embraced the joy of the single era, as this is their 5th new track to come our way recently. You’ll be greeted by a propulsive undercurrent that rushes the tune right through your speakers; guitar lines will glitter and dance in and out of focus, attempting to pace themselves with the quick rhythmic push. But, like they’ve been doing of late, they’re running the speed up while that’s contrasted with these dreamier vocal notes that seem to hang out on the edges of the tune, in hopes of staying clear of the sugary rush. Perfect balance and a perfect tune for a Monday.

A New Song From Emma Russack

Leave a comment

When thinking of some of my favorite voices from the Melbourne music scene, Emma Russack is definitely one that comes to mind. She’s done work with countless acts like our friend Lach, but hasn’t had a proper solo effort in some time. That’s all changing, as she’s just recently announced About the Girl, her new LP. Our first listen has a slightly different approach than where she left off with her solo work; this time’s she working with synths and distorted guitars as the vessel for her pop tendencies. I love how their are elements that bubble and pop with a snappiness that seemingly contrasts against Russack’s voice. Another great entry, and we’re looking forward to the new LP; it drops on August 22nd via Dinosaur City Records.

My Best Unbeaten Brother Announce Mini Album

Leave a comment

Back in January we were very excited to share new music from My Best Unbeaten Brother, which was a new project from Adam and Ben Parker. Today, the band announce their debut mini-album, Pessimistic Pizza (which I think means it has pineapple on it). Ben’s vocal delivery has a very distinctive British feel to it, sharp and pointed, though seemingly spoken more than sung in this presentation. Behind him, the band are furiously ripping up and down through the speakers, distorting riffs that are catchy and dangerous…all the while the cymbal work seems like its purposefully going off the rails. Their debut Pessimistic Pizza will be out June 28th via Audio Antihero. Please don’t put pineapple on pizza.
