Matador Sphere Drop Image in Place

Leave a comment

It’s a new year, and with that, here’s the first bit of new music coming out of Austin…that I’ve been sent, anyways. Matador Sphere is an up-and-coming act, with a goal of blending stellar electronic atmosphere with a more modern pop core. In this tune, the vocals keep the track calmed, righting the ship as it sways back in forth in the seas of punctuating electronics; there’s a carnival-esque nature, especially as electronic notes seem to rain upon the chorus. Adding in some sampled strings builds in the texture too, thickening the track as it twists and turns into pop madness as it fades to a close.

Signal Share You Must Win

Leave a comment

If I were to pick a day to jam to this new Signal tune, it feels like a perfect Sunday morning experience, something that invites solitude and reflection with a warm cup of tea or what have you in your hand. There’s this slowness that allows the purity of the melody to rise through the tune, and once its riddled with the patient crawl of the vocals you’re greeted with something that wouldn’t seem out of place on the B-side of a Galaxie 500 recording. The duo are early on in their writing process, but you can definitely hear that they’re onto something pure if you click play below.

The Burning Hell Share Bottle of Chianti, Cheese and Charcuterie Board

Leave a comment

Although the song’s title might be a little long-winded, I’m completely enjoying the playfulness of the new single from the Burning Hell; it recalls a sillier time in the indie rock pantheon, landing somewhere between early Of Montreal and the Blow…maybe even a sprinkle of Architecture in Helsinki. The musical craft is built around some synthetic stabbings, buzzing and bouncing in the right spots; things switch often enough in their tone that the track feels fresh for its entirety, which seems like a rarity. You’ll find extra joy with the way the vocals overlap throughout, layering catchy melodies atop one another without a care in the world. They will drop their Ghost Palace LP via You’ve Changed Records on March 7th.

Fleeting Colours Share Stay Single

Leave a comment

For a band that only has three total songs under their belt, Montreal’s Fleeting Colours definitely sound like a well-oiled machine. Their latest offering toys with the balance between slow-core pacing and walls of gaze-y noise; you can certainly feel the wash of power released by the distortion if you crank the volume up appropriately. If you loved great records last year from bands like Trauma Ray or Mo Dotti, you’re going to be diving head first into this tune, as it plays perfectly into the quiet-loud dynamics that make for a perfect pop number. We hope to hear more from the group going into 2025!

Outro Share Gila Single

Leave a comment

When you listen to Outro, you’re going to find this tightened guitar sound, something that has the various guitar elements wrapping around one another, then hitting notes that almost hit upon a math-rock note. That being said, I really love the way the tune below brings in some melodic core pieces, giving the tune this kind of post-emo flavoring too, maybe all of it bred upon a 90s college rock sound. There’s definitely a kick-ass familiarity working throughout the song, but in today’s climate, it doesn’t feel like a sound that’s overdone, so comes across as rather refreshing. They’ll release their Broken Promise EP on February 14th.

A Place to Bury Strangers Share New Video

Leave a comment

One of the great listens of last year was Synthesizer; it showed A Place to Bury Strangers sill spending time in the noisier realms of darkness, though in a sense they were billowing into an almost pop realm. They’ve just released the video for “Have You Ever Been in Love,” which is one of the standout tracks of the record, and the visual version brings back their origins in the wash of effects being utilized. Something in this song always feels wholly live too, like you can revel in the noise whilst still tapping your toes, and I’m all for it. Their LP is available now through Dedstrange.

New Jam from Prism Shores

Leave a comment

We’ve been hyping up the Prism Shores a lot the last few weeks, looking ahead to cranking up the noise on Out from Underneath, listening as the band bounce back and forth between pop sensibilities and rambunctious noise. This new single enters with a pop, only to be greeted by a wave of noise; that doesn’t last long, however, as the group peel that back to offer the infectious side of their sound, working dueling melodies to the front of the mix. Honestly, their consistency in the vocal work is one of the charms of this track, though I’m also enjoying the overall propulsive energy it brings out. If you don’t have Out from Underneath on your radar, pencil it in for its January 17th release date via Meritorio Records.

Charm School Share Happines is a Warm Sun

Leave a comment

It’s hard to believe that we’re already looking at next year’s new releases, but one of the things I’ve got penciled in for cranking up is the next LP from Charm School. There’s something about it that reminds me of Dry Cleaning, particularly in the way they tether themselves to a central groove, then ride it out in a punky fashion. Unlike a lot of their peers, this groove rocks for a solid 7 plus minutes, taking that energy and consistently churning it over and over whilst delivering the vocals in a rock-steady fashion. Their new LP, Debt Forever, is out on January 24th.

The Heart of the Sun Share So Many Secrets to Reveal

Leave a comment

While we’re overly consumed by our lists in the States, things seem to carry on as usual over in Sweden where The Heart of the Sun has just shared another entrancing electronic number. When I first clicked on the jam, I fully expected it to dive into a traditional post-punk trope, but it avoids that, moving into a more atmospheric wash of industrial-tinged electro-pop. Vocals are mostly operating as samples, so you’ve really got to immerse yourself in the pulse of the tune, and as it unfolds you get to soak up a little bit of the beat and indulge in your pop tendencies.

Sleeper’s Bell Share Bored

Leave a comment

You’ve got to find a quiet place to listen to this new track from Sleeper’s Bell; it’s the sort of bedroom pop that begs you to immerse yourself in the craft, relishing in your own solitude. Blaine Teppema has some sonic similarities to labelmate Packs, though there’s some more careful study of melody in a lot of the nooks and crannies of the tune itself, allowing for nuanced strokes to layer on texture. I love the sweeping string pieces that cruise across the tune, pulling on your emotions as only a proper tune can. Look for Clover on Februrary 7th via Angel Tapes/Fire Talk.
