Whimsical Share Rewind Video

Leave a comment

We’re going to have ourselves a little Shelflife party over here at ATH, which is completely okay, as it’s one of my favorite labels. Earlier we had that hot Salt Lake Alley tune, and now we bring you the latest from the dream-gaze outfit, Whimsical. The video, like the song, is definitely shrouded in a bit of denseness, with the guitars churning out this wall of noise that serves as the background; the video uses slow pacing and these similarly heavy color tones to match that vibe. Musically, Krissy Vanderwoude’s voice is able to pierce the shroud of darkness, delivering this pulsing bit of melody that shimmers on the surface, as this genre should. If you dig it, Melt will be out on April 1st.

Salt Lake Alley Share I’m Always Near

Leave a comment

There’s a certain brand of indiepop that always makes me think of discotheques after with fun lighting and easy flowing booze; I see myself in this scene, arms flailing and kicking up my feet on the dance floor while wearing a shit-eating grin across my face. I think of bands like the Lodger, and now I’m thinking of Salt Lake Alley; the Swedish duo with my favorite track of the week dropping today, courtesy of Shelflife. Just listen to the jangling guitars and the way they immediately get your toes tapping, coyly teasing you to join in on the fun in this tune; it’s like listening to the prime-era Smiths, except you know that this band isn’t full of shitty humans. You’ll find this track on their new LP, It Takes Two, out later this year.

Stream Star Party’s Push You Aside Single

Leave a comment

Last week Bandcamp gave a huge push to Star Party‘s forthcoming Meadow Flower LP, and while the band were on my radar, it’s only fitting that I share that out with you all too, just in case you missed it. I think it’d be easy to toss the band in the bucket with acts like Best Coast or Vivian Girls, and probably not too far off, sonically. But, there’s this heavy noise element, something that seems a little darker and perhaps a little more counter-culture; they’re the Shangri-Las to everyone else’s Supremes. Their debut album looks to take those bedroom influences and fill your living room with cacophonous noise that echoes while your mind soaks in the sugary goodness of the melodies. The album drops on March 11th, but you can order it now!

Persica 3 Announce Tangerine + Share Water Lily Single

Leave a comment

Parisian outfit Persica 3 will be releasing Tangerine in the first weeks of March, and they’ve just shared this little sample of what’s coming your way, thus why I’m here pointing you in their direction. There’s not too much out there about those working on the songs, but they’re crafting these beautiful soundscapes that will make folks think back on acts like Stereolab, or more recent pushes by Dummy. It’s pop collage work, at times taking risks to get lost in the musical woods, exploring the paths that leads you nowhere, only to retrace the steps and start anew, each time bringing in more texture to the fold. Grab a cup of coffee, pull your chair to the window, and let this song take your mind out into the world. Look for Tangerine on March 4th courtesy of Hidden Bay Records.

Beautiful New Tune From Ava McCoy

Leave a comment

It’s likely that you are not familiar with the up and coming New York City based musician Ava McCoy, but I am looking to get her name and music in your head today. She has quietly been writing and releasing music for the last couple of years with her debut LP coming out later this month. For a sample of what’s ahead, you need to check out this new single “Sedona” which came out just last week. I really dig her take on the hushed, songwriter genre with just enough twang and delicate instrumentation to make this one a winner. You can say hello to Ava on IG or Bandcamp.

Pachyman Shares All Night Long

Leave a comment

There’s something about riding into the weekend knowing you’re just going to chill out, throw your feet up on the couch and enjoy a little sun…and the perfect soundtrack this last year or so has been Pachyman, playing his rock-steady dub sounds that immediately transport you to warmer climes. His latest single also features Winter on vocals, who we’ve featured on the site throughout the years, so we win either way here. If you press play on this and don’t feel your head bobbing and your feet tapping just a bit, then you probably need to see a specialist. Look for a new 7″ with this tune dropping in March.

Fortunato Durutti Marinetti Shares All Roads Single

Leave a comment

Honestly, I don’t usually have the patience these days for songs stretching over 4 minutes, but there’s something really special going on with Fortunato Durutti Marinetti and his forthcoming LP, Memory’s Fool. Something in this track made me think of Jackson Browne’s “These Days,” which flooded my brain with nostalgia. That’s mostly in the guitar work, as Marinetti’s distinctive vocal delivery feels more akin to something we might have gotten from Devandra Banhart or the like. Something in his song’s just seems so patient, and that sort of transpires as you’re listening, pulling you away from your world and into Fortunato’s; it’s a wonderful place to escape if I do say so myself. Memory’s Fool is out March 18th via Bobo Integral.

Sooner Announce Debut LP, Days and Nights

Leave a comment

It shouldn’t take you too long to get sucked into the sounds of Sooner; I know I got hooked the minute those guitar lines jumped right on in to my life, as my toes were tapping and my head was a-bobbing. While the sound borders on the poppier side of post-punk, the band ramp up the sound into a more distorted pop rock sound for the chorus, with the vocals pushing themselves higher in tone, driving the hook right into your ears. It’s the perfect blend of some of my favorite vibes, so I’m definitely looking at Days and Nights to be a sure-fire hit; it drops via Good Eye Records on March 25th.

Secret Shame Share New Single Hide

Leave a comment

I’ve been pulling for Secret Shame to get some new music out there, as they definitely add a layer of darkness to the sort of dream pop/shoegaze genre. Luckily, we’ve got that tune for you today, and it lives up to my expectations, and perhaps pushes the band into some new territory. They still seem to be living in that sort of gothic cavern, toying between post punk and pop tendencies; you’ll hear dancing guitar notes stabbing in and out between Lena’s moving vocal performance. It doesn’t feel as on the button for any genre, which is why I’m drawn to it, loving that you can’t just put this in a perfectly defined box as the band continue to explore their sound.

Erasers Announce Constant Connection

Leave a comment

Tired of pigeonholed music posts by me? Well, there’s really no definition or trinket box I could shovel Aussie duo Erasers into. Sure, their latest single, coinciding with the announcement of a new LP, has this cinematic quality, churning out these otherworldly pulses while layering them with heavy washes of electronica. But, the ghostly nature of the vocals effuses this sort of space-age sterility that’s equally unsettling and intoxicating. The whole tune is like this genre study of pop, and what it means to bend and mold the definition into something wholly your own. Stoked to hear the entirety of Constant Connection when it hits via Fire Talk on April 22nd.
