Cosmopaark Share Olive Tree

Leave a comment

French outfit Cosmopaark are in the midst of a solid run of tunes, with a great record last year and now a new EP on the horizon. We get another peek under the lid with their latest tune, which is a perfect blend of the light and dark that’s been captivating audiences of late. They certainly play up the softness, particularly in that very first verse, running the song over a light strum and what sounds like a sampled beat. But, they definitely dive right into the quietloud approach, blasting the warbling walls of distorted guitars right out into the world; it’s the perfect way to dive into what we can expect from the Backyard EP, out on October 18th via Howlin Banana Recordsand Stellar Frequencies.

Abandoned Buildings Release Rabbit Holes

Leave a comment

Having dabbled in the realms of dream pop for some time, Abandoned Buildings, for my two cents, seem to be taking on an almost classic brand of rock n’ roll; they’re bridging their dreamy realm with bits and pieces of a sound that feels like Jeff Buckley. It’s difficult to describe, but there’s roll to the track that certainly reminds me of the elegance of “Grace” by the aforementioned Buckley. Maybe I’m way off, but it brought me deep within the song, where they then turned to a lighter ambiance, floating the tune into this otherworldly realm that still feels like its circling my brain. They have a new album titled Eroding Light, and we’ll have more info as we get it!

Snailosaur Shares Nature & Kaleidoscopic Mind

Leave a comment

Brooklyn outfit Snailosaur keep forging ahead, brandishing their love for heralded indie rock sounds, filtered through their distinctive vocal work and phenomenal drum section. When listening, you get hints of Berman or Mascis or Callahan, though done up with a bit of an amphetamine rush, setting up the two new tunes to rip through your speakers with a wall of noise. While they offer up the Dinosaur Jr-esque “Nature”, they turn it into a more pensive piece on “Kaleidoscopic Mind,” settling into a Western ballad that carefully frays the edge between Americana and indie rock. Both tunes rip, so enjoy them both below!

Gitkin Share the One

Leave a comment

If you’re looking to lock into a groove and ride it into the week, may we introduce you to the latest single from NOLA’s Gitkin. On this new single, they don’t waste any time, jumping right into the tune with these guitar lines that just rain down upon the listener like some psychedelic thunderstorm, all the while, the rhythm section sets you up. It locks you in this hedonistic groove, running the tune into this headstrong muscular boogie of left of the dial rock n’ roll; you’re tapping your toes and banging your head, setting you up to grab a copy of Golden Age, the new LP out October 18th.

Roller Derby Share Ready to Forget

Leave a comment

If you’re seeking out perfect pop vibes on this Friday morning, might we direct you towards Germany’s Roller Derby. The band are frequent visitors on our site, and their latest single lives up to our continuous support, dangling another superb chorus that keeps you circling back. They’ve always had this style that feels like it could rush off into pure jangle pop territory, but somehow, they manage to pull it back just enough to set up that huge chorus that absolutely stuns every time it comes into play. Really hope the increased output of late means there’s something as special as this track on the horizon.

Jim Nothing Share Wildflowers

Leave a comment

While a great deal of Jim Nothing‘s remarkable catalog has felt more introspective, almost like private listening parties for fans of ornate guitar pop. That said, this new single is just a blaster; it sounds huge and anthemic from the get-go, so be sure you crank this one all the way to 11. The guitar set up is huge, almost entering in like some late 70s arena rock, though the band manage to stay close to home with the vocal delivery, pulling strings that send the melody soaring in this wistful manner that circles back to the song’s reflection on past and present memories that make you smile. The new Grey Eyes Grey Lynn LP is out on Meritorio Records on October 18th.

Wussy Announce Cincinnatti Ohio

Leave a comment

If you were near the Internet yesterday, I hope you heard that Wussy are back, after a six year gap and the passing of guitarist John Erhardt. His role in that band built in a texture that made the group almost a rare gem in the scene, but perhaps that’s where the band picks up on their latest single, reflecting on the way John and others have impacted us, even when they’re not on the other end of the telephone. Musically, there’s a rollicking rock nature here, something that has this natural drive and punch to it, albeit with a quieted ambient wall behind, allowing the emotion to crest amidst heavy textural builds. Really looking forward to hearing how far they push themselves; Cincinnati Ohio is out November 15th via Shake It Records.

Porridge Radio Release A Hole in the Ground Single

Leave a comment

Something about Porridge Radio just reeks of emotion, making their work some of the most moving from the indie rock scene at the moment. When this song jumps right into the fray, it was the lonesome string work behind, bellowing behind Dana’s voice, adding to the delicate nature wherein everything feels like it could crumble before your ears. In a sense, it reminds me of early Wolf Parade, when everything felt dramatic and in the way choruses would crush you, though there’s more sincerity here, perhaps as you feel the emotion seeping out of Margolin before you. Clouds in the Sky They Will Always Be There For Me drops on October 18th via Secretly Canadian.

Henrik Appel Shares New Single

Leave a comment

Having followed Henrik Appel for some time, it’s really interesting listening to his musical transformation over the years; he’s moved from garage rock purveyor to an admirable elevator of pop rock. Now, I can’t quite vouch for the lyrical work here, but there’s certainly something in the overall feel that resonates here at my house, something that maybe recalls Lou Reed working on his own, like going for your own walk on the wild side. I love the little jazz inflections that feed into the natural ebbs and flows, giving this song a depth that goes beyond mere indie rock kitsch. Looking forward to Shadows, out November 1st via PNKSLM.

Merce Lemon Shares Crow Single

Leave a comment

If you ever just wanted to be emotionally crushed by a song, then you’re going to need to listen to the latest single from Merce Lemon; there’s this huge wall of frailty that seems to hang on every note from Merce’s mouth. Each syllable seems as if it could crumble to dust and be carried off into the wind, though they’re constantly tethered to the electrifying guitar solos that course throughout the tune. Eventually it all gets rolled into one giant ball of cacophony and beauty, swirling together like some magical cocktail that’s best drunk next to your love in a secret crypt, both of you being crushed by the sheer majesty of this single. Watch Me Drive Them Dogs Wild is out on Darling Records on September 27th.
