Deatcrash Share NYC Video

Leave a comment

I wish I still went on long road trips with a cigarette dangling out of my mouth, as this new Deathcrash tune is the perfect song for such a ride. The group operates in an interesting fashion, coming off (to me) like a pop version of McClusky; they have this British sentiment that offers sincerity in the most fascinatingly mundane fashion, and I’m totally here for it. That being said, they also embrace a cleaner, pop side of the rock industry, so you get the best of both worlds, especially if you’re turning your volume up full blast to bang your head with the windows down! Somersaults is out on February 27th via Untitled Records.

Luke Temple Shares Shake Me Awake

Leave a comment

Luke Temple is a shapeshifting songwriter of supreme genius, and yet, sometimes I admit that I take his continuous output (in whichever project) for granted. But, when I pressed play on the latest track from his forthcoming record, I was like, “holy shit, this is too good!” There’s this sort of art-punk fashion to it, both in the sharpness of the guitar stutter and the way Luke’s playing with his vocals in the verse; he switches it up too, which only draws me in further as the song struts about. Rhythmic and fun, and a reminder of his prowess; look for Hungry Animal via Western Vinyl on Friday!

Another Bop from Milano Flash

Leave a comment

I don’t think there’s ever a morning when pumping up the pop from Milano Flash can hit in a bad; they’ve got this timeless brand of synth pop, perhaps from years of honing their pop skills in projects such as Club 8 and Red Sleeping Beauty. But here, this is meant for late nights at the club sweat pouring onto the dance floor as you forget the worries of the day and immerse yourself in the pulse of the song. They hit you again and again with sharp synth stabs and the sexy vocals from Eleni Tzavara; its club music with enough sheen to make it super cool!

Bearhugger Share Infinity Stars

Leave a comment

Jeremy Joseph is an incredibly busy individual, participating in an array of acts from Daddy Lion to Glowing Screens; he’s currently working on his solo stuff under the Bearhugger moniker. This first single is a slow electronic burn, with the sharp electronic tones rising to the top, then falling into a twinkling mixture when the chorus arrives. I loved that there’s just this sedated feel to the tune, kind of like this pop homeostasis where we get to treasure our own emotions as we bask in the brightness of the melody. You’ll get to hear this song, amongst others, on the self-titled LP, which is being handled by Zerowell Records.

The Sleeves Announce Self-Titled LP

Leave a comment

Tara Cunningham and Jack Cooper are familiar names with the ATH crew, particularly as we’ve been covering Jack’s stuff since the UP days. Tara and Jack have been working together as the Sleeves (as well as Modern Nature), and Friday there was news of a new self-titled LP. Our sneak peek is a pretty stark adventure, with the band carefully plucking at the strings of their instruments, allowing the tones to sort of resonate and hang before moving to the next. Between the lines of those hanging notes you’ll find the muted voices of the two beckoning, calling you to sink into the solitary moment that is the song below. Look for their new LP via 12XU on May 8th.

Bayonne Returns with Multiphase

Leave a comment

What better way to kick off a week of musical discovery by hitting up the locals here in Austin. We’ve covered Bayonne forever, and bathing in the organic electronica Roger crafts is infinitely rewarding. While the vocals have this bright dreaminess, sort of sailing atop the track, my ear keeps going to the piano/keyboard line that holds the track together; it goes up and down and up and down, allowing the project to layer and texturize atop it, so it feels almost like the rhythmic accent of the track. You can crank up the volume and let it hit hard, or tone it down and let the song nip at your ears, but either way, you’ll not be disappointed in pressing play.

Memorials Share Wildly Remote

Leave a comment

Verity Susman’s voice has been an omnipresent sound in my life (and my DJ sets); it can be strikingly beautiful and haunting at the same time, which is exactly what we get on the latest Memorials single. It’s hard not to hear some Nico nods in the simplicity of the craft, allowing the vocals to be the constant highlight of the song; the voice appears to be walking alongside the piano/synth notes, as if they’re walking together hand in hand. There’s some little noisy flutters, but they’re brief, letting the song resonate with you, sinking deep into your soul. All Clouds Bring Not Rain will be out on March 27th via Fire Records.

Two Dark Birds Share Girl of Summer Single

Leave a comment

If you consider yourself a big Bill Callahan fan, and you’re anxiously awaiting a little bit of Bill in your playlist, then perhaps you can turn your eyes to Two Dark Birds. This New York outfit operate with similar dulcet vocal tones, though here, the song seems a bit more wistful as opposed to the weariness of Bill’s work. Plus, the arrangements throughout seem to add an element of gratefulness, something that provides a little more promise on the horizon. You’re emotional, but you’re moving forward, looking back with lessons learned…or at least that’s my take on it! This track will appear on the forthcoming Dreamers of the Golden Dream LP.

The Goods Cover the Riverdales Back to You

Leave a comment

I don’t typically fuck with covers; I mean, I listen to them, sure, but I don’t necessarily put them up on our site over here. That being said, when this cover from the Goods came into the old inbox, I had to jump at it! The San Francisco outfit dropped their Don’t Spoil the Fun LP last year, but here they are today with a cover of the Riverdales “Back to You.” Honestly, there’s not much that’s changed between the ORIGINAL VERSION and this cover, except, well, the style of guitars. Ben Weasel was a master at pop punk, so when his work is in the hands of others, it’s not hard to hear the pop sensibility coming through. The Goods just make it crisp and jangly, maybe slowing it down a bit by not using that buzzsaw guitar…they definitely leave in the big hooks! Tune comes courtesy of Dandy Boy Records.

Fort Not Share Heaven to Me

Leave a comment

A few weeks ago we were really excited to hear that this year would bring us a fresh record from Fort Not, the Swedish duo offering up spritely pop music. On their brand new single, there’s this very sated vocal feel, something that reminds me a bit of some of those Forster penned Go-Betweens tracks (or his son for that matter); they hand on the cusp between melodic croon and spoken word, accenting the sharp jangles of the guitar. The drumming stays out of the way, only hitting above its weight when the fuzzier riffs come into play during the chorus. This should convince you to spend a little bit of money on You On Repeat, the new LP via Meritorio, out February 27th.
