King Creosote Announces I Des

Leave a comment

Admittedly, my love for orchestral pop has perhaps waned a bit in the last few years, as I dove in pretty heavy in the late 00s. That said, I’ve always had a really soft spot for King Creosote, and with the announcement of I Des, it gave me another chance to really dive back into his songwriting. There’s a lot of great elements in this first single too, from the sort of running guitar/synth line as the backbone, mingling with the string arrangements that sweep the song along in step with all the vocal pieces. Speaking of those vocal pieces, Kenny Anderson’s voice sounds rather distinctive in this version, so its nice to hear it offset a bit with these soft little female counter harmonies. The new LP drops via Domino on November 3rd.

Goodgrief Shares Propane, Releases Love Birds

Leave a comment

The minute this goodgrief song entered my headspace, I’ll honestly say it took me back to 2022 in a cabin in Yellowstone listening to Control by Pedro the Lion. You can hear the track working around a simple folk structure, but Ezekiel Rudick’s powerful voice is like the distant cousin of Bazaan, throaty and comforting at once, belting out note after note. Still, the folk structure gets smashed up a bit, offering a nice little bit of grit and attitude to a genre that can oftentimes get stuck under its own feet. If you’re digging the jam, then check out the whole of Love Birds, the new record.

Another Onyon Single from Trouble in Mind

Leave a comment

Officially dropping on Friday, but appearing here today, this great new Onyon track is a must have for everyone’s listening pleasure. In contrast to the dark nature of “Alien Alien,” we find a bit more of a spirited punch to the opening minutes of “Egg Machine.” There’s this upswinging garage guitar work that kicks the tune into movement, driving this hook-laden rhythm right into your earholes. Still, as willing as they are to get a little playful inside their songs, there’s still a hearty growl on the vocals that give the German outfit that edge that makes them standout from many a modern peer. Last Days on Earth drops on October 13th via Trouble in Mind.

Faith Healer Share The Game Single

Leave a comment

Faith Healer are set to release The Hand That Fits the Glove, and before the LP drops, we’ve got one last chance to hear what’s in store for listeners. This track’s a bit more of a mellow piece, in comparison to the earlier singles from the release. Black and white imagery is tied to an atmospheric wash of synths that set the backdrop for a reserved performance from Jessica Jalbert; you get a little lift around the 1:25 mark of the tune, with careful percussive elements swinging into the track to give it a hint of buoyancy. That spirit is needed, particularly when you immerse yourself into the lyrics, a rumination on the challenges many of us face interacting with the outside world without losing ourselves. You can get the new LP on October 13th via Mint Records.

Premiere: New Single From Postdata

Leave a comment

If you’re a frequent reader of this here website, you know that I have been a huge fan of Paul Murphy and his musical project known as POSTDATA. He released one of my favorite albums of 2021 featuring hit single “Inside Out” while continuing to be busy this year with two straight jams over the last few months. Before he releases new album Run Wild on September 22nd, we’ve got the title track for you today to add to Murphy’s growing catalogue of hits. And for a special touch, Paul was kind enough to give us a quick Q/A about the new song and album. You can scope that along with the new song after the jump.

The Brights Share Everyone In Town

Leave a comment

While Melbourne is getting all the Australian love (hyperbole, I know), Sydney’s the Brights are aiming to make a name for themselves on their own terms. They’ve just released a fresh single from the forthcoming Oyster Rock, offering a slight bit of country-fied swagger to the stomping pop sounds of the Oceanic region. This tune’s got this twinkling piano bit hanging about too, adding to that sort of muscly punch the group bring to the table; it’s all about this natural grooviness to me, so it feels like classic rock influenced pop rock…and I’m totally here for it. They’ll be releasing Oyster Rock via Stable Records/Meritorio on December 1st.

Cool Vibes from Crasher

Leave a comment

Like the song’s title, you’re definitely going to get a little bit of chill from the latest tune from Crasher. Inside you’ll hear the jangling-adjacent guitar lines, subtly dropping in some energy atop the snappy whip of the drumming. But, while it feels as if you’re swirling towards energetic horizons, the vocals hold you in place a bit, with David Mead’s voice spoken in this very smoky, matter-of-fact fashion. That delivery keeps the track sort of static, holding the song in this sort of chillwave purgatory, feeling the movement, but never quite diving in the whole way. Crasher will release Speaking Terms on October 10th.

Colored Lights Share Warm Jets

Leave a comment

If you’re going to release one last single before your album drops, my advice is that you make it a banger, just like Colored Lights. While the song’s not an out and out rocker, there’s something in the production of the guitars here that drives the track; it feels like its got natural momentum that can’t be slowed; you can’t stop it. That said, the band manages to also craft a slight pop contrast, when the track switches to the makeshift chorus, letting Frode’s melodic vocals crest in the song’s middle. The band release their self-titled LP on Bobo Integral on September 22nd.

Flooding Share Muzzle, Announce LP

Leave a comment

I wanted to wait to share this Flooding track with ya’ll until later in the day, as I felt like the natural doom of the songcraft could be unsettling early in the morning. All that said, the heavy nature is welcoming, crafting this ominous mood that opens up with a pensive brooding before dropping in the vocals to the mixture. Those feathered vocals have this warmth, but in this setting, they almost seem like howling notes from some spiritual realm. You get a bit of respite as the track settles around the 2:15 mark, only to come back with this ferocity that leaves a lasting impression on listeners. It’s a pretty powerful statement track from the KC outfit; they will drop Silhouette Machine on September 29th.

Jam The Starfish Song from The Garment District

Leave a comment

Of all the songs on the Garment District‘s newest LP, this is the one that’s really been hitting me hard; I just love the vocal performance as it sounds absolutely huge here. The track itself has this sort of all-mod swagger to it, somewhere between the hooks of pre-punk and Nick Lowe. Production value here works wonders, with those backing vocals hitting in the exact right spot, with the musical elements filling in the negative space perfectly, allowing the natural hook to really soar in your ears. But, then they slow it all down to flex the psychedelic jam sesh in the middle; it gives you a moment to breathe before the group rush you back into the grand swinging golden age of pop. You’ll find this track on Flowers Telegraphed to All Parts of the World, dropping on September 22nd via HHBTM.
