Wy Share New Single + EP Announcement

Leave a comment

Sweden’s Wy have already found great success with their last few releases, finally breaking into the US audience with the excellent Marriage LP (2021). Today, the group return with news of a fresh EP on the way, and they’re doing it in striking fashion. Ebba opens the tune with her vocals crawling atop light sonic touches. Soon, the guitar enters the picture, heavily breaking the barrier between pop and rock. Still, Ebba’s voice has this huge range to it, something that would put her right alongside current US darlings like Angel or Sharon. Something Amazing is on the horizon, and it will be released by the ATH revered Rama Lama Records.

Say Sue Me Share No Real Place Single

Leave a comment

South Korea’s Say Sue Me has written a lot of great tracks over the years, but for my ears, this might be one of the tops, if not THE top. I love the energetic roll in that begins immediately, with Sumi’s voice hitting you right away, speedily delivering the relatable lyrical content about missing someone. There’s this natural hook that’s superseding everything else around the song, but that doesn’t mean that the thumping drums or the dancing guitar work go unnoticed; it’s just hard to focus as you’re so seduced by the incessant joy jumping through your speakers. The band release The Last Thing Left this Friday via Damnably!

Teenage Tom Petties Share Boxroom Bangers

Leave a comment

Tom Brown’s new project (he also plays in RF!) is dropping their self-titled debut at the beginning of June, and we’re here to suggest you give the band a solid listen. This track operates around a meandering sort of heavy guitar jangle; it feels like the guitars chasing you this way and that through dirty back alleys in some no-name British town. But, it also feels very much like Ohio, more specifically Dayton, as it’s hard to really distance Brown’s vocal approach from Bob Pollard. Still, Teenage Tom Petties success is the ability to really bleed the edges between guitar pop and those grittier moments of punkier alternative that erupted in the 90s. Look for their debut LP on June 3rd via Safe Suburban Home Records.

I Was a King Share Here at Last

Leave a comment

One of the bands I’ve always quietly cherished and pushed on these pages is Norway’s I Was a King; they just dropped a brand new track with mention of a new record on the horizon. This song still has a familiar guitar sound, which comes as no surprise, though I’ll admit it’s a little bit more tilted towards the psychedelic/paisley tendencies (not that I mind one bit!). Time and time again, the warmth of the vocals just feel like they’re hugging me closely, holding me to let me know everything in the world’s going to be alright; the band feels like they’ve encountered the restlessness of the world and chosen to instead choose tranquility…and most excellent pop melodies. Their new LP Follow Me Home is expected in the Fall.

The Boys with the Perpetual Nervousness Announce New LP

Leave a comment

What’s that? New music from the Boys with the Perpetual Nervousness? Yeah, I’m in. The group dropped a surprise single back in April, but I wasn’t ready for them to hit me with another single and another album, but I welcome it here! This song begins with a bit heavier guitar vibe than what they’ve brought out in early albums; it feels like a heavier brand of power-pop, ready for some anthemic stadium performances. But, as always, they turn the jangling guitars on, bridging the power pop into some super brilliant melodic chorus work, clearly knocking it out of the park with their charming songwriting. It’s like if Tom Petty was a really big indiepop nerd, and its wonderful. Their new record is titled The Third Wave Of…and its out in September via Bobo Integral.

Field Guides Share Margaret Single

Leave a comment

There’s some really breath-taking music being made as of late, and I’ve really need those voices in my listening rotation. One such artist is Brooklyn’s Field Guides, crafting these striking folk tunes with moving arrangements supporting the gentle strum, like on this “Margaret” single. Honestly, it feels like this is the sort of link between the likes of Bill Callahan and David Berman; I can’t quit playing this song. Listen closely, as there’s a nice vocal accompaniment that begins to filter into the tune as it bends around your ears; this track is filled with delicate little flourishes that will certainly charm. This tune appears on the new LP, Ginkgo, out on June 1st via Whatever’s Clever.

Arp Announces New Album with New Pleasures Video

Leave a comment

Had a fairly late night for a teacher, hanging with Packs and Good Morning, so the contemplative craft of Arp slides perfectly into my midweek routine. Alexis Georgopoulos project announces New Pleasures, the second installment in their Zebra trilogy, and with that info, we also get the title track, with an incredibly stunning video created by Adinah Dancyger; the video does an incredible job of storytelling, despite their being no lyrical content to attach. The video tells the story in the day in the life of a dollar, bending and twisting through the city, like the deep beat-laden music created by Arp; it reminds me of Jill Magid’s penny project. This New Pleasures LP will be out in July via Mexican Summer.

Me Rex Share Toilet of Venus

Leave a comment

We already had a tune from Kathryn Woods other project Fresh earlier this week, so now we turn to another project she’s involved in, ATH faves ME REX. This track is punctuated by Myles McCabe’s clever wordplay and quick delivery of lines, with these keyboard lines thrown in to build on the band’s pop aesthetic. The chorus is ultra-catchy, as one would expect from the group, bringing up various ways for Myles to exclaim that “these are the best days of my life.” This song is a great way to start your morning, and will feature on the group’s Plesiosaur EP, out June 17th via Big Scary Monsters.

Fresh Return with Going to Bed

Leave a comment

We’re really high on the forthcoming Fresh LP, which will be out later this Summer, so the band are dropping in another track to hold us over. While the tune opens with Kathryn Woods voice atop a mild synthetic element, the tune quickly jumps into angular rock n’ roll that makes the group so enjoyable. The drum work alone has the song galloping, with Woods trying to keep trace as the guitars skitter and jangle about; they even add in some horns, which is a super fun twist on this brand of pop rock. Plus, you get some sort of call-and-response bursts…this tune really does have it all, if you ask me! Raise Hell will be out July 1st via Specialist Subject Records.

Florist Release Spring in Hours Video

Leave a comment

Today seems the perfect day for sedate, contemplative music. Florist seems to always craft just such tunes, and their new single is certainly no different. Emily’s vocals throughout have that sort of mesmerizing charm, the sort of voice you wish you had as you sing your child to sleep. As a band, the accents surrounding Sprague’s voice are the perfect accent; the drums keep a steady march for the track, with the little bits of picked guitar strings faintly audible in the mix. There’s also this great musical swell in the song’s middle that sets us all up for a nice little mental meandering. They release their self-titled Florist LP on July 9th via Double Double Whammy.
