Elizabeth Shares Happier Now Video

Leave a comment

Since stepping away from Totally Mild and going it her own, Elizabeth has done nothing short but amaze me. Her voice has always been one strikingly bold, but on her latest single, she seems to take it even further, stretching those tones into full powerhouse mode! While the Wonderful World of Nature had ties to her earlier work, feeling like a natural step away from her previous outfit, this new single is as bold as her voice, fully immersing Elizabeth into the pop world. The synth notes sound sad, matching the persona, though the powerful drop in at 2:34 shows Elizabeth isn’t messing around; she’s “happier now,” after all.

More from Tony Molina

Leave a comment

So you’ve likely already heard from Tony Molina and his latest single, therefore I’m just getting it up here because I want it in next week’s playlist, as that’s where the hits are. This tune uses a little piano mixed in with the heavy strum of Tony’s guitar, creating these ridiculous moments of charm that are unmatched in anything else you’ll hear out there today, methinks. I always marvel at how Molina’s songs feel stretched and beautiful and full of magic, despite being under two minutes long, but then again, should we be surprised at this point? Another good track from Tony; his In the Fade LP is out on August 12th via Run for Cover.

Slow Rosary Share First Letter to Halstead

Leave a comment

When I first started listening to Slow Rosary on last year’s Refinery, I was drawn to their broad folk ballads; it reminded me of the early 00s, where it was dripping with emotion and power (it still does). On their new album, it seems like we’re getting an experience strikingly to the left, as you hear in the latest track they’ve released. This one feels like an adventure into the spiritual realm, whose themes run through Free Wifi in the Vatican (note: not Vatican City!); it also has this haunting beauty, as the vocals sort of faintly warble in and out of focus, with instrumentation eerily fighting for your attention. This is the sort of track where you lose yourself, forgetting where you are, maybe even who you are, only to come out and grab a copy of their new album. Free Wifi in the Vatican drops on Friday!

Stella Donnelly Drops Flood Video

Leave a comment

Stella Donnelly‘s new album is really high upon my list of what’s coming out in the second half of this year. There’s something special about her delivery, mixed between spoken word, though this latest single sees her really expanding her melodic moments into this brilliantly cool breeze. There’s a playfulness too, be it in the video or the general vibe, which is always interesting, as Donnelly definitely plays with dark subject matter; she does that here, with the song written in response to “a flood of drama” and working your way out of that. Flood will be out on August 26th via Secretly Canadian.

Mush Share Anti-World Cup Anthem

Leave a comment

I’ve really been digging the stuff from Mush‘s forthcoming LP, and this new tune takes a slight turn in sound, which I think is great for an album listen as a whole…if you’re still doing that sort of thing. Sonically, you can immediately feel the band pulling back, letting the track trickle its way into the speakers; it sounds like any number of American indie rock bands at the moment…Kevin Morby, Martin Courtney, etc. Lyrically, the song’s hitting out at the huge human rights violations that have gone with the World Cup in Qatar; we all love soccer, but we definitely are on Mush’s side here, as the tournament should have been halted long ago…let alone awarded. Song’s good, message is on point. Winning. Down Tools will be out via Memphis Industries on July 8th.

Chill Vibes From Otra Vez

Leave a comment

Nathan and I were both huge fans of the debut self-titled LP from Mexico City based Petite Amie which came out around this time last year. It hit heavy rotation on our playlists and even featured in some of our year end lists from 2021. Since then, we haven’t heard much from the band so I was of course excited to receive this new single “Otra Vez” yesterday afternoon. It features a band on much more of an experimental, almost chillwave journey of melodies, bass lines, and an overall groovy feel. I am very much enjoying it this morning.

Petite Amie will also be touring the States this fall. Full dates can be found here.

The Mary Onettes Share What I Feel In Some Places

One comment

I’ve always been a huge Mary Onettes fan, their self-titled album is the one LP that I can’t get enough…nor get my hands on, sadly. Today, the band return for the first time since 2018 with the announcement of What I Feel In Some Places EP, and share the title track. Opening up, the song builds this dense atmosphere, foggy in the corners, melodic hints lurking in the shadows of the sound. When the vocals come into play, they create this beautiful moment of heartfelt pop where you can feel the emotionally charged moments rise out of the heavy groove behind. The band will release their new EP on July 1st, so its just around the corner!

Skinny Dippers Share Home Single

Leave a comment

You’re in need of a shining bit of guitar pop to win you over? Something along the lines of Real Estate or the like? Well, then I advise you to listen to this new single from Brooklyn’s Skinny Dippers. This single feels like you’ve left town, windows down and the warmth of the day shining upon your face. I love when the voice of lead songwriter Ryan Gross combines with a female counterpart; in a strange way, it brings the indie innocence of the early 2000s, though perhaps I’m just easily charmed by harmonizing. Enjoy the sunshine vibes of this tune!

Lithics Release Nature Observation Poem

Leave a comment

If you’re one of those that missed the brilliant Tower of Age in 2020, then be sure to rectify that by heading to Trouble in Mind and grabbing it. But today, and thanks to Andy at RSTB for pointing this one out, I’m rocking a new Lithics single. If you’re looking for a marching percussive element to drive some wonky art-punk, then, well, you just need to jump on this train as it’s all about a rolling snare mixed in with some light hi-hat. Aubrey Hornor’s deadpan vocals march to the same beat, all before the guitars start to jitter in your speaker, shaking the room with angular spikes. From there, the song snakes its way in and out of your brain, weaving sharp cuts across the backbone of the marching drum beat. I love this band, and you should too!

Wombo Drop Snakey Single

Leave a comment

Wombo were one of the highlights, for me, of SXSW; I love the band’s sound, somewhere in the realm of post-punk, and I can assume folks will likely make Dry Cleaning nods too (that might be a theme today!). This song operates atop heavy bass lines and short percussive notes; it’s not until the 48 second mark that the song begins to stretch it out a bit. When they do, angular riffs began to cut into that rhythmic backbone, sharpening the sound, with little distortion guitar blips sounding like warning alarms. Their album Fairy Rust will be out via Fire Talk on July 29th, and they hit the road throughout late July/early August…including an Austin date at the Mohawk.
