Merce Lemon Shares Crow Single

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.

Cactus Lee Shares Sister Video

Cactus Lee may not be a household name yet, but after a fairly prolific couple of years, it looks like everyone’s starting to take notice. He’s got a slew of dates on the horizon from AmericanaFest, Flying Island Festival and Tomorrow Never Knows, all big indicators of the draw of his magical brand of country. And, since its been a minute, perhaps this brand new single is a hint that there might be more coming our very way just around the corner. I love how the track, and its Super 8 film footage, certainly feels like a dusty Summer day in Texas, yet you can hear the soulfulness in the voice, something that beckons you sing together with a bunch of your best buds. Please keep your eyes on the prize, that is, Cactus Lee.

Healees Share White Room + Announce Coin de l’oeil

When a bunch of powerhouse labels get together to co-release something, you can pretty much count on us being into it. Hidden Bay Records, Safe Suburban Home and Indie or Die jointly announced Coin de l’oeil, the newest album from Parisian outfit Healees. Our first single has the track blanketing the listener in warmth, with crisp guitar notes churning over one another as they continuously leave space for soaring vocals to work in the negative space. Those vocals carry an earnestness that takes a dream pop ethos and moves it into something a bit more powerful, which definitely has my ears perked up and ready to go when the record drops in October.

The Submissives Deliver New Single

As we go through the Monday listening routine, we get to visit a bunch of jams we just missed out on, like the first single from the new LP from The Submissives. At times, you feel like you’re listening to a classic doo-wop pop piece, but there’s something about the guitar lines that feels inherently ominous. It’s almost as if they’re using that tension to set up the big hook from the chorus, offering cooled vocal work that can pull anyone into their style on first listen. They fray the edges with little bits of horns and strings, layering the tension that certainly matches the fit for this video. Live at the Sound Studios will be out this Fall via Celluloid Lunch.

Night Court Drop Mistakes Become You

One thing that gets me going on a Monday is a huge hook and a whole lot of flare, just like the newest single from Vancouver’s Night Court. They don’t have a lot of time here, so they just right into the fray, banging out those angular punk riffs and snapping hits on the drum; they smash it down perfectly when they hit the chorus, emphatically entering a classic breakdown, albeit one with that has to work frantically so they can get right back at banging away at the hooks. Those vocals too, singing in unison, just bring out so much incredible energy, it’s going to be hard not to find yourself enjoying what’s in store. Shit Machine will be out on November 1st via Recess Records.

Wilder Thing Shares Too Much TV Single

The waters in Maine seem to be continuously flowing with artistic expression; I’ve stumbled upon a ton of acts from the state over the last few years that have just blown my mind, like Wilder Thing. This project feels like some sort of blasphemous concoction of indie rock influences that would appeal to fans of bands in the vein of Shellac. You’ll get seance style spoken-word met with firing guitar lines that shoot off into the horizon; there feels like there’s some possessive force (the TV?) controlling the narrator, adding this fascinating tension to the build and explosion. I Have My Mother’s Eyes and I’m Not Giving Them Back is out on October 18th via Repeating Cloud.

Best Bets Drop Heaven Video

The Hollow Husk of Feeling can’t get here soon enough, but with the new Best Bets records still a few weeks away, they’ve offered up one more sneak peek into one of my most anticipated LPs of the Fall. The energy of this tune totally fits where I’m at this afternoon, kicking out some high-octane power-pop while the vocals are being stretched to the max. Again, not sure of the album as a whole, but it feels like they’re touching the highest peaks of the genre, flirting with edges of punk while adhering to a sensible melodic approach you can’t ignore. Make sure you grab a copy from Meritorio Records before the release date on September 27th.

Mt Misery Share Waking Up Single

There’s not a whole lot better in this world than a cool late Summer breeze blowing through with a new Mt. Misery tune on the winds. After popping back in last month with a new single, they’re at it again, sneaking in a really melodic jangler that opens the door to the Fall season. Something about their craft this go-round feels so light and refreshing, sort of a cleanse of the past months. And, like all great things, this one comes with the news that there’s a new LP just around the corner, offering up promising pop sounds that will wrap up our year.

Adrian Marner Shares Dreamer Single

Those of you in search of a new singer to break your heart should have your focus on Adrian Marner and his forthcoming Remember Yourself LP. Whenever we get a new single, we run it, as we’re completely fascinated by the striking fragility that brings you within his songwriting. This go round, a light percussive piece adds just a hint of texture and movement, allowing the fragility of Marner’s voice to hang on the highest notes, soaring right to your hearts. Adrian’s one of those songwriters who won’t let you go once he’s got his hooks in you, so keep an eye out for the new LP, out November 1st via Zerowell Records.

Spiral XP Share Sinner Single

Spiral XP has been on our radar since dropping their It’s Been a While EP, though we might suggest checking in on their split with TV Star too. Alas, all that to say we’re really excited for the forthcoming full-length, I Wish I Was a Rat, with another single dropping to get you on board today. This is a steady crunch rocker, something you’d expect from folks living up in the Pacific Northwest, though they’re certainly taking care to instill some of the noisier elements in their sound. There are elements of this jam that feel like a march, like a step in line up the mountain, rejoicing in walls of screaming guitars when you reach the peak. I Wish I Was a Rat is out on October 18th via Danger Collective.
