(Printer Friendly) Shares Stuck On This Dock

Leave a comment

Still perusing my end of year emails, and I found myself drawn to this track from (Printer Friendly), which is the stay-at-home music moniker of Griffin Ashburn. At the end of the year, Theodicy was dropped, and I was continuously drawn to the slow burn of the single below; it has this sedate nature at the beginning, patiently planting the melody in your ear and waiting for it to sprout. This pop burst arrive courtesy of Pigeon Kiss, whose voice seems to sort of shoot up from beneath the lower mix; it adds this great textural feel that serves as the lifeblood of the tune, especially when balanced with the other bits. Plus, it plays perfectly into the following tune, so enjoy this little musical odyssey.

Lunar Isles Shares New Tune, Releases New EP

Leave a comment

Over the last few years I’ve been keeping a close eye on David Skimming’s Lunar Isles project; it’s a dreamy bedroom project that continues to impress, release after release. This past Friday the Atlas EP was released, with a little more flexing of the sound throughout the six songs. Take the track below, which does wear some indiepop guitar references: it takes some of those nods, but peels back the modern dreamy atmospherics, allowing the melody and the gentle nature of Skimming’s voice to sit with the listener. Once you’ve sat and observed, you’ll find that the Atlas EP is the perfect entry point to Lunar Isles wonderful world of pop stylings.

Gorgeous Bully Shares Fresh Tune

Leave a comment

I wouldn’t go so far as to say that I was ever turned off by the work of Gorgeous Bully as they progressed, but there was definitely a little bit of the mystery lost as expectations rose up through the release of Closure. Up until now, where it feels like there’s a return to simpler structures and pure emotion. Even the recording feels distant, keeping the listener at arm’s length, which inevitably has the reverse effect, only pulling you in deeper. There’s this little tonal switch in the guitar that absolutely crushed me; look for it around 1:36 if you wish to feel the same. Either way, this track feels like there’s some solace in it, and I’m grateful for its existence.

Ty Segall Shares My Best Friend

Leave a comment

I’ll be the first to admit, that I’ve grown bored of Ty Segall over the last five years; he’s been a constant in the music scene, and at a certain point, I always wonder…what else is there? That’s not to say he’s not had great live shows; he’s like Thee Oh Sees in that manner…folks can never seem to get enough. That said, this new single from the forthcoming Three Bells does hold some intrigue and may entice me to get into the new LP. It’s got this sort of off-kilter, walking-the-guitar sort of craft to it; it feels like something out of the British art-pop scene a la Cate Le Bon. I love how he still breaks down into a jam, but even this feels muted and intimate, all the while the drums roll along in thunderous fashion. Ok Ty…I’m back in. Three Bells drops on January 26th via Drag City.

New Tune from My Best Unbeaten Brother

Leave a comment

I’m pretty picky when it comes to long musical intros on rock songs; I’m teacher of 13 year olds, so a majority of my time is a rush. But, when I pressed play on the newest single from UK outfit My Best Unbeaten Brother I just felt like this was the track for me today. Something in the song is growling at you instantly; the guitar lines have this edge to them that immediately has you on edge…the anticipation builds for that whole first minute. Then you’ve the seemingly spoken vocal delivery that works through the track as the guitars stab and poke through your speakers; it’s this riotous bit of ramshackle rock n’ roll that’s perfectly balanced to rip through your speakers. We expect a debut LP from the band later this year via Audio Antihero.

Seasonal Falls Shares Happy Dayz

Leave a comment

I first started covering Roman Gabriel when he was running the Kind Hills, but I’m hyper-focused on his new project Seasonal Falls. When the piano tinkering rings out upon pressing play, you’re immediately hit with this wash of emotion; it creates this wistful sense of longing that’s inescapable. That matches up well with Gabriel’s lyrics here, as the song seems to have listeners straddling the fine line between the terrors of the world we live in and the hope that we can all just embrace living for the moment. As much as I adore those moments, the softness of the strum accompanying the vocals really just sunk me, and I fell head over heels for the magic that’s hanging out before you here. Be prepared to be struck by waves of emotion when the project releases their LP, Happy Days this coming May.

Savak Announce New Album Flavors of Paradise

Leave a comment

It’s been a few years since Savak last dropped a proper release, and here they are with the news of a fresh new LP on the books for 2024. For a band that has ties to Obits, I’ve always admired how they flirt with heavy bangers just enough to give you the edge, yet pull back just enough to give you classic pop sensibility. This new track has plenty of fueled riffs that sharply dance in the background, but I keep on coming back to the stomp of the chorus; it delivers this effortless cool that has just enough growling bite and thumping drums to get under the skin of old indie rockers like me. They release Flavors of Paradise on March 1st via Ernest Jenning Record Co.

Red Sleeping Beauty Return with Song a Month Series

Leave a comment

You can expect me to have a lot of coverage on Red Sleeping Beauty this year, as the band have just signed themselves up to release one brand new single a month, and I’ll obviously be covering said singles until the end. It’s a challenge for the group, hoping to get them into working towards a new LP, and they’re starting off on the right foot if you ask me. Electronic pulses serve as the backbone of the track, allowing the Swedes to bring their cooled melodic vocals through the verses. Then, the chorus hits, spinning you around with this high-toned vocal that seems sprinkled with hooks, moving forward to open up for a playful interlude before dropping that hook right back on you. Always great to hear from this act, so expect to hear more from them throughout the year.

Ducks Ltd Share Train Full of Gasoline

Leave a comment

It’s crazy to think of the meteoric rise of Ducks Ltd; I mean just a few years they were “unlimited” in their duck quotient! This new single holds tight to some of their earliest stylings, using a thumping beat and infectious guitar licks to lead you into the core of the song. But, that’s sort of where they’ve grown; opening the track into a bit more of a punchy bit of pop rock, coated in these atmospheric nods to their dreamier beginnings. As they prepare Harm’s Way, its clear that they’ve pushed their indiepop tendencies to the background, hoping we can all latch onto their bopping grooves from here on out. I’m in, and I’ll be looking forward to the LP when it drops on February 9th via Carpark Records.

Cordelia Gartside Shares December Single

Leave a comment

There’s something about Cordelia Gartside‘s new single that definitely evokes the feeling of “December.” For many of us, the creeping in of wintery winds aligns with the quieted whisper of her voice, seeping through your pores and filling your body with warmth. Guitars add to that quieted nature, seemingly tip-toeing through your speakers, attempting to fill the room with their delicate notes as they build tension. Still, they pull back, letting us wrestle with the song’s solitude as we patiently wait to hear what the UK artists will drop next!
