TR/ST Share Brand New Single

Leave a comment

B.Gray and I love TR/ST; we’ve loved the project since before the “u” was syntactically replaced. Today there’s a new bop from the dark electronica act, the first we’ve heard since 2019’s Destroyer LP. Weirdly, the groove on this one reminds me of a shadowy version of Lady Gaga’s “Poker Face,” operating with this rhythmic pulse that almost seems like it’s got spring yet never goes all the way over. That said, there’s some mystery to the TR/ST puts into his craft, allowing all the shadows to creep into his work, making it perfect for club nights before last call. Dais Records has just signed the artist, with the promise of a new EP coming in 2024.

Bouncing Pop from Mike Rowave

Leave a comment

Really got stuck on this Mike Rowave track this morning, as it offered the perfect little midweek snack for me, kicking with just enough exuberance to get my toes tapping at 6 am. Musically, the song is something you might consider Drums or Beach Fossils adjacent, though I’ll admit the surfy notes feel a little more bent on electronic vibes, providing you with a spinning goth version of your favorite pop sounds. So maybe your week has been fairly “mid” as the kids like to tell me, and you need a ramp up. Drop into this track and let your day start off having a blast.

Fresh Big Bill Track! Featuring Chucky Blk!

Leave a comment

Long ago we worked with Big Bill over at ATH Records, the home of legends I like to think. Since then, the band has continued their rise in the Austin scene, but more importantly, they’ve continued to push themselves as a band. Currently, they’re at work on a new record, thus they’ve dropped us a new track featuring another local heavy-hitter, Chucky Blk. The song opens up with a jittering stomp, marching forward as singer Eric Braden delivers his distinctive vocal crawl. His narration introduces us to a new character, and thus Chucky takes over the microphone delivering an incendiary stanza of magical poetry. We’re yet to know if this tune appears on the new LP, but it’s a hit worthy of listening to today!

New Stuff from Jim Nothing

Leave a comment

Just the other day we caught wind of new Jim Nothing, so we let it resonate a bit, returning today to remind you of how great the New Zealand outfit is. You are instantly met by this motorik beat of sorts, thumping and pumping the rhythmic pulse of the song right through your speakers. Guitars begin to shimmer between the lines, teasing you as you await the vocals. Those vocals come in, quick and fast, running through your mind as guitars scream at you. A bit of an emphatic close with a stomp and gang vocals, and now we’re all left to wonder…will there be more? And when?

High Pitched Scream Release Falsehead

Leave a comment

Was in the need of a bit of noise to get me out of my morning slumbers today, and this track from High Pitched Scream was perfectly fitting. It opens with this huge wall of feedback, purposefully keeping you on edge from the moment the drums start crashing down. The song’s success lives in the balance between that noise and the vocals, which offer a softer center, like the center of a Tootsie Roll pop; you’re going to want to get to the center in less than three licks. As the track unfolds, you can hear the musicianship on display, letting the song kind of meander here and there, throwing blasts of noise at you all along the way.

Bubble Tea and Cigarettes Share New Single

Leave a comment

Apparently my brain needs some space, as this mornings tunes are definitely all in a more pensive space, open and drifting, like this new tune from Bubble Tea and Cigarettes. While I’m not sure about the band name (I’m very anti-cigarettes in 2023!), I totally love the vibe they’ve created with “Emi.” On my end, it sounds like a less electronically crafted version of Radio Dept; the song’s filled with these huge swelling harmonies, with vocals that feel like a fog rolling in from the sea. You could certainly hear influences like early Beach House in here, but that voice just grabbed me, like some whispering voice from my past that I couldn’t escape. Soak up the warmth below.

Still Corners Ready Dream Talk

Leave a comment

It amazes me how Still Corners still seem to continue their musical progression, years down the road here; they’ve been at it for nearly 15 years, and while you hear a touchstone or link to the past, they manage to still turn your ear. The rattling tambourine is a nice touchstone between this record and The Last Exit, but Tessa’s vocals seem somehow mysterious; there’s something in the way the band have her vocals kind of teasing the listener, like a playful ghost beckoning you to follow. Honestly, I love the openness of the track; the guitar licks are minimal and sharp, but stay out of the way until they’re necessarily to texturize what’s in store. Then, just as you’ve settled into place, the duo lock into this sultry excursion that closes the tune out. They’ll release Dream Talk via Wrecking Light Records in April.

New Bop from Terry Venomous

Leave a comment

Somewhere in between the lines of King Krule and the Fall, you’ll find the work of Liverpool’s Terry Venomous. Thought his latest track from his forthcoming EP would be an easy way to slide right into Friday. This tune revolves around a steady little beat that stays locked locked in the groove. Light keys twinkle and guitars sway and swing all around the vocal delivery, which carries a bit of a heavy smoker croon. It’s a super casual way to kick your Friday right into gear, letting you get your playful best ready so you can go out and win today! Look for a new EP in April!

New Music from Lions of the Interstate

Leave a comment

I’m probably way off here, but Lions of the Interstate feel like the pop brethren to early Sonic Youth. If you listen to their latest single, they offer up that flirtatious noise element, working closely with a driving rhythm that’s continuously pushing the song towards its end. That said, the band seem to lean more towards the melodic center of the track than one might hear from Kim and Thurston. Even as the song’s driving forward, they’re fleshing it out with horns and softened vocals that beg you to come back again and again. If you’re enjoying the vibe, look out for Strange Empires, dropping this Friday!

Chemtrails Say Join Our Death Cult

Leave a comment

London outfit Chemtrails have opted to leave the lo-fi production work of their early recordings in order to enhance the vibe on their new LP, The Joy of Sects. Their latest single definitely wears a bit of that studio perfection; you can hear it in the way the vocals get get intertwined perfectly creating this little hook that has your head spinning. But, the band still are driving this thumping psychedelia, often times brooding and other moments sputtering into a smashing bash of joy. When it all subsides, there’s this great bit of buzz trailing behind, locking in the band’s ability to hit all sorts of rock n’ roll notes. The Joy of Sects is out via PNK SLM on January 19th.
