Cade Earick Shares Gazed Single

Leave a comment

We always feel like trudging about when it’s a Monday, so it felt like something with a heavy wash atop it would be fitting, which is where we get to meet up with this splendid new tune from Cade Earick. Despite that weighted guitar feedback, there’s plenty of melody that will allow you to sink your teeth into this track, finding Earick’s voice permeating the madness, hanging in between the cracks to let those light notes hook you. As more of the song unfolds, some of those heavy pieces began to fade away, revealing a little calm until the track erupts again to draw it to a close.

Novanta Share Volta Single, Drop Punk for Introverts

Leave a comment

When you label your album Punk for Introverts, folks should expect that you’re going to get something that has you staring at your shoelaces as you contemplate the meaning of the world. That is precisely what Italian outfit Novanta have done with their latest LP, crafted an album of billowing pop songs that fill your room like a broken fog machine that just won’t turn off. Every twist and turn in the song just seems to hit you at your core, but it’s when the band returns from the song’s interlude that I found it to really resonate with me; there’s a dancing guitar line and this swell of atmosphere that just blows you right back. If you’re a punk and feel like spending your day alone, then maybe this is the soundtrack for you! Punk for Introverts is out today via Factory Flawless.

Cool Vibes from Auragraph

Leave a comment

I spend my day surrounded by 13 year olds, so pardon me if I ask for your vibe check here, but I think either way, your day can’t be harmed by Auragraph. The artist behind the project, Carlos Ramirez, employed a lot more improvisation on this new record, and we’re definitely going to get some late night groove benefits from this one. You can feel the pulse, accented by this chiming cymbal sample and hollowed drum rattle that give this industrial feel to the dancefloor. If you’re willing to drop your pretension, perhaps you’ll want to spend some time with New Standard; it hits on November 17th via Dais Records.

Nessa Readies New EP, Shares Latest Singles

Leave a comment

Those of you who frequent our wee site might recognize Nessa Grasing‘s name in the notes of much-championed ATH faves, Scarves. This time however, we’re focusing on Nessa‘s solo work, offering you a bit more of a personal approach, predominantly working with the strength of vocals and heavy-strumming. On “Forest Fires” there’s a bit of a pop tinge to the tune, especially as the vocals swell to meet up with a light arrangement of strings behind. “The Desert and Your Demons” seems to be a bit more of a traditional ballad, with Nessa’s voice bringing a bit more fragility to both the tones and the storytelling; you can almost hear a breaking point for the narrator as its matched by the voice during the climax. The Palouse EP is on the horizon; we’ll keep you posted as we near the release!

Wastelander Share Latest Single, As You See

Leave a comment

Former guitarist for the Fluids, Cooper Formant is currently operating under the moniker of Wastelander, burrowed somewhere up in Maine. This Friday he’ll be releasing What Is Left of Me, a fresh album with some incredible songwriting and a huge bunch of Nashville musicians helping him to flesh the sound out. His latest single brings up a timeless sound, something akin to the classic pop vibes from the 60s; I keep thinking all the arrangement work here would really make Brian Wilson proud. The vocals have this slight affect that almost give it this ethereal space-age vibe, which teases a little playfulness throughout, though that organ work definitely harkens to a bit of a Southern studio performance. If you’re digging on this track, be sure to look for What Is Left of Me when it drops everywhere tomorrow.

Lower Plenty Share Latest Single

Leave a comment

Another week and another Lower Plenty album to add to your collection. Every time I get a new single, I just can’t wait to immerse myself in No Poets as a whole; it feels like something meant to be shared by you and your headphones alone. A stomped drum beat and a playful strum set the scene, before dropping the tones into more of a sense of yearning; the vocals soon join in and match that sentiment, almost soaring beyond the horizon looking for whatever it is we all seek. When backing vocals unite with the lead, there’s this general sensation that everything in the world will be alright, if we just hold onto that special moment, for an instant. Plus, there’s this sort of tape hiss too that runs throughout, in case all you DIY nerds felt out of place. No Poets is out October 6th via Bedroom Suck Records.

Steven van Betten Shares New Single

Leave a comment

When you first hit play on this Steven van Betten tune, you might suspect that it’s just another sunny beach vibe going through your speakers. That being said, there’s this playful little quick rising vocal that’s what turned the song into more of a coy bit of bouncing pop, almost hanging its hat on a nod to baroque brands of indie rock, albeit done merely with the joyous rise of notes. I sort of get an early Cate le Bon nod here, especially in the vocals, so I appreciate a little bit of risk getting thrown into the modern plot of bedroom pop. You’ll hear more great songs on Steven’s new LP, Friends & Family, out October 27th via Future Gods.

Mope City Share Laminating the Classics

Leave a comment

Between the work of Flooding and Mope City, I’m definitely living in a dreamland where acts are brandishing heavy-handed riffs to go with their slowcore stylings. On Mope City‘s latest single, they start off in this sludgy pool, only to rise out of those ashes to work their way into some super cool alternative vibes. Feels to me like a lot of flirtation with Sonic Youth’s catalog, working from within the confines of a punk ethos to kind of dive into this underworld of explorative pop. They’ll likely get some Low comparisons too, as they mention in the bio for Population: 4, so you know the best thing for you is to grab a copy from Tenth Court Records; it drops on October 13th.

Class Drop Just Another Number

Leave a comment

We ran a fresh track from Class just a few weeks ago, and the group are back with another tune from their forthcoming LP, If You’ve Got Nothing. While their first single flirted with the catchy realm of pop punk meets power pop, their latest is all bite and no bullshit. It opens with this dangerous riff, setting the scene for a stalking vocal performance that leaves the group growling through an old school brand of rock n’ roll. An emphatic refrain is barked at the listener as noise swell and punches to the close. Feel It Records will drop the LP on October 6th.
