Listen to Kan Kan’s Another Long Goodbye

Leave a comment

The other day we dove into the latest track from Pocket Full of Crumbs, who just released a split with Kan Kan. But, I forgot to flip the 7″ over, which was my mistake, as there’s a definite tasty morsel awaiting your ears. On the tune below, it’s got that sort of solo J. Mascis feel to it, albeit with a touch more warmth on the guitar notes, sliding more into that melodic realm. Those guitars notes seem to kind of curl up and wrap themselves around the vocals, giving off this intimacy that’s surely going to seduce listeners sitting by the glowing embers of this tune. Their split 7″ is available now from Cherub Dream Records.

Brian Bilston and the Catenary Wires Share New Single/Video

Leave a comment

When British poet Brian Bilston signed on to work with the Catenary Wires (Rob and Amelia of Heavenly), I’ll admit that I was curious as to how it would work. Their collective collaboration led to Sounds Made by Humans, which danced between spoken-word and delightful indiepop; I think the new video below is the perfect all-encompassing piece, and one of the standouts on the LP. A rush of jangling guitars, soaring harmonies and a little bit of percussive stomp set the tone, but Bilston’s appearance seems fitting for the style, offering a contrast, both lyrically and tonally, setting up the little jig that the guitar line walks between verses. The video takes old Heavenly promo footage and incorporates the song, sealing the circle of Bilston’s love with Rob and Amelia’s old band; this video celebrates the LP out on Skep Wax, as well as a forthcoming tour through the UK!

Hadda Be Return with New to the Office

Leave a comment

It’s been a few years since Hadda Be dropped their glorious debut, Another Life; it was a record that got tons of press overseas, and so today their return is welcome news. I think the angular riffs are going to immediately label their sound as a post-punk brand, particularly with those sharp riffs and growling bass lines; the vocals do sit in a matter-of-fact fashion, not unlike Dry Cleaning or the like. For me, there are some other influences like the Raincoats, especially when the whole group comes in to deliver a soft vocal chorus. There’s a third little moment that’s angry, taking it out upon the routines of modernity in our world. A glorious return!

Joyer Are At the Movies

Leave a comment

The much anticipated Joyer record is just two weeks away from the drop date, and with that, they’ve got one more album sampler for your ears. Of all the tunes they’ve dropped this might be the one that hits closest to my daily listening habits, hanging on the edge of an atmospheric piece that takes an acoustic structure and stretches it into this pensive realm where your able to sit in the middle of the tune and soak the melody up. Really enjoying the previews we’ve got, and looking to On the Other End of the Line, out October 24th via Julia’s War.

Cistern Announce Debut Album

Leave a comment

Canadian outfit Cistern have been on my radar for a few years, featuring members of Nov3l and Crack Cloud, so when news broke of their debut album on the list for October releases, I was ready to jam. On my first several runs through of this lead single, I was instantly drawn to the sharp groove that hits, cutting the dancefloor up with these high kicks and just a little playfulness; you’ll get a little vocal treat that’s reminiscent of their hit “Crisis” too, so stay with your ears locked in. The group worked on the album by piecing the tunes together, working in notes here and there, and you can certainly hear that in the back half of this tune. If you’re ready to rock to this tune, then you’ll be ready to rock to Rhizomes when it drops on October 17th.

Speed Week Return with Automate Me

Leave a comment

A few weeks ago we brought you the lead single from the forthcoming Speed Week LP, and now here we are with another growling bit of indie rock that solidifies the band’s place in my listening rotation. Musically, they shift into snapping rhythms and angular knife cuts on the guitar, providing the listener with a jittery sensation while Elliot Gee stalks the audience. The song’s swirling about you, but Gee keeps things centered, like the gravitational pull with an emphatic delivery that matches up with the modern world; I do love how he pulls a little bit of Johnny Rotten in the line “I want you to automate me!” Look for their Weak Speed LP on August 16th via Endless Recordings.

Dedstrange Sign Sunset Images

Leave a comment

Today we bring you news that two of our favorite things are uniting: Mexico City and Dedstrange Records. RayRay and I love DF, and we’re really excited that the the label has picked up industrial noise makers, Sunset Images. Below you’ll find a new single, which is a remix from A Place to Bury Strangers. The drum work bites at your heels, forcing you to run through a shadowy hallway filled with reverberating riffs of noise; those moments get an emphatic punctuation from time to time, highlighting the intensity of the sound coming from the group. Their new album Oscilador will be out in January of next year, so expect more noise coming your way soon!

A New Bee Bee Sea Single

Leave a comment

The Italian scene is one I like to circle back to, unearthing some gems that probably skip the masses here in the States, like this new single from Bee Bee Sea. It’s a sloppy bit of frantic garage rock, the sort that would have made Thee Oh Sees really proud. The drum work gives the song this steady beat, while the guitars provide this jittery energy that shakes the tune and the listener to the core. As a band, they flirt with the song’s edge and energy, while also getting in just a bit of playfulness that makes the whole thing a joy. I’ve included the 7″ link, as the B-Side is a power pop gem you’ll want to also spend a minute or three with! It’s out now via Wild Honey Records.

Ted Bunny Share My Dear Darling

Leave a comment

For some reason, this morning felt like it was geared especially for a swaying ballad, albeit one that falls just a little left of the dial, thus why I’m here cranking the new Ted Bunny single. At times, the group offer a soul tune for your ears, with quick little drum snaps and guitar licks playing up the energy; I think the chorus is where I found the charm. When the line “oh it feels like love” comes in, there’s a tonal switch that completely overwhelms with melody and it will crush your heart perfectly. Give the tune a listen and tell me your day didn’t start off on the right foot!

Another New Joel Cusumano Tune

Leave a comment

When Joel Cusumano announced Waxworld, the opening single seemed like a side-step to his work in various San Francisco outfits. But, “Death-Wax Girl” feels like he’s pushing towards a bit of a broader sound, albeit one with breadcrumbs to his pop roots. The heaviness of his voice is omnipresent in this song, providing an almost melancholic melody that works in between the ethereal vocal notes that carry it from the background. While it operates in the ballad format, some of the sonics of the mix give it sort of a post-punk vibe, like if JaMC wanted to play an acoustic set in your living room…and I’m totally here for it. Waxworld is out October 24th via Dandy Boy Records.
