Lewsberg Announce Out and About

Leave a comment

If you have not purchased your tickets for the Lewsberg train, might we invite you to grab one now, as they’re sure to be one of your favorite bands…plus it’ll make you feel cool for telling your friends you were into it first. Anyways, the Dutch band announce their new LP Out and About today, dropping mixes of two of the tracks that will appear on the record. “Without a Doubt” has this spritely nature to it, just shuffling in the mix as the vocals keep things joyously grounded; it’s the precise brand of no-rock pop that the group excels at crafting. Meanwhile “Communion” feels like a pastor’s sermon delivered by someone who grew up listening to all those early Flying Nun records. Can’t say enough wonderful words about this group; Out and About is out in September; self-released, but US folks can order through 12XU.

Snooper Share Powerball Video

Leave a comment

After catching the band live during one of their great SXSW sets, I’m really looking forward to hearing how the whole of the new Snooper record comes together. Their latest single is a pummeling piece of noisy art punk, filled with screaming guitars and thundering drums, while the vocals operate in this robotic mantra detailing the narrator’s view on this week’s powerball lottery. For me, the interesting thing about listening to Snooper is their ability to musically edge the listener; they take the tension all the way to the max point, then just drop out, letting you finish or move on to the next song, which we’ll get to do when we pick up Super Snooper. The new LP is out July 14th via Third Man Records.

Hause Plants Share Marcy Avenue Video

Leave a comment

I feel like I rarely get to hear music from Portugal, at least in so far as the style of jams I’m into comes along. But, Hause Plants just shared this rad new track that immediately had me from the moment the song trampled into my ear drums. Take a breath, settle in, and the guitars and rolling drums will rush you right into the track, all before it opens up into a dreamier state of being. This lets the setting for the vocals come to light, leaving more open space and warmer corners on the guitars to match the notes. Something in the natural yearning of the vocals really got me too, so I hope this track hits you where it feels the best! The group will release their Field Trip to Coney Island EP this Friday via Spirit Goth.

Matt McClure Shares Magazine Street

Leave a comment

For all the creativity that is being pushed out in the indie scene nowadays, I do really miss the wittier bits of pop that you’d get from wordsmiths like a David Berman, weaving mundane existence into catchy tracks that bounce in your head…just like Matt McClure. He once fronted the Figurants (which I suggest you check out), but recently has been going it on his own, and there’s a new LP on the way with this track below. For me, you get the best bits of Matt’s work, offering up those clever lyrical lines, backed by really solid bedroom pop vibes. It’s that sort of everyman-bedroom-pop, where we all think we could pull it off, but only someone as talented as McClure can actually do it with substance. Recurring Orphans, the new LP, should be out later this year!

La Securite Share Hot Topic Video

Leave a comment

Contrary to popular thought, the latest track from Montreal’s La Securite is not actually about your revered mall outlet. Instead, it’s a proper piece meant to score the incredible dance routine that has been edited down to feature in this film version. From the moment you’re pressing play, the dancers and the song are pulsing, claiming the space as their very own, both physical and musical. Eliane snakes around ringing guitar notes and synthetic stabs, delivering a sharp indifference to the world around the dancers and the singer. Pulsating punk elements mixed with dancefloor ready grooves make Stay Safe something to keep on your radar; it drops tomorrow via Mothland.

Jangly New Tune From Mainland Break

Leave a comment

It’s a warm one in ATX and sometimes it pays to try and imagine cool breezes with light sunshine on the coast or really anywhere that’s not 100 degrees. Denver, CO seems like a good spot at the moment, and the lads in Mainland Break are certainly making me jealous with their new jangly, indie rock joint. It also has an accompanying video that evokes those same, cooler Colorado vibes. The track sort of hits me in a Fruit Bats, meets Local Natives, meets Foreign Born sort of way and will surely hit you in all the right spots in your ear holes.

This tune will be part of a new album entitled One Way Ticket to Midnight due out on July 21st.

Being Dead Release Last Living Buffalo

Leave a comment

If there was a song that encompassed the live energy and personality of Being Dead, think that their latest single is perfect. Imagine watching the band as the song begins with a bit of almost teasing with the audience, like they’re warming up here. Soon, they drop into the song, rolling drums and delivering a powerful chant of “you killed them.” But, like they do in the live setting, they switch into a different gear, letting the hook come at a buffalo’s gallop, building in layered melodies from their vocal work. Then, as if the show’s wrapping up, the song evolves into cacophony; it’s an entire show in one quick 3 minute blast! The group release When Horses Would Run on July 14th via Bayonet.

Sonny and the Sunsets Announce Self Awareness Through Macrame

Leave a comment

Another bit of great news from one of my favorite songwriters, Sonny Smith. Sonny wrote a majority of the songs, like the one below during the pandemic, then went back and added in friends and touches to make it a proper Sonny and the Sunsets record. I love the light-hearted guitar jangle that bounces throughout this tune, giving off a ray of sunshine and bounce that’s immediately accessible to any old pop fan. Plus, you get some great organ work that adds an extra textural layer of depth to the song, building in extra bits of charm. Self Awareness Through Macrame will be out on September 1st via Rocks In Your Head Records.

Allah-Las Share the Stuff

Leave a comment

What is the stuff you ask? To be frank, I don’t quite know what “the stuff” is, but I do know that this cock-sure brood from Allah-Las offers a glimpse at a newer sound for the group. They’re still employing a sound heavy on the work of the riffs, though here, they’re sort of steadied and almost marching to the beat running below. You can’t deny that the band still have the effortless cool locked in here, though it’s nice to see them get one foot out of the pigeonholed psych category. This single comes with the announcement of Zuma 85, their new LP for Innovative Leisure, coming your way on October 13th.

Kindsight Share Tibet Singles

Leave a comment

Kindsight combine elements of nostalgic indiepop sounds with the fuzziness of the current climate that’s overtaken Scandinavia, and the greater world. But, following the success of their Swedish Punk LP, the band have slowly been expanding their sound with a batch of new singles. I was immediately enamored by the back and forth between the vocal parts of this song, toying with the listeners willingness to indulge in the band’s joyous nature. Still, there are two punch elements that course through this song, dropping in elements of noise and a more furious indiepop sound that adds that grit, illustrating just how far the band are willing to go. This song brought to us courtesy of Rama Lama Records.
