Marissa Paternoster Shares Final Single from Peace Meter

Leave a comment

This Friday Don Giovanni will be dropping Marissa Paternoster‘s proper debut as a solo artist, and we’ve been covering the singles all along the way. I’m excited by the album because I feel like we’re really getting some insight into Paternoster’s life, and while its been there before, it feels much more intimate and relatable in the presentation of this record. Musically, this song seems full, yet stripped down. The mix feels peeled back like the layers of an onion, leaving us with the core that is Marissa’s unique voice driving the emotional pull of the track. Peace Meter drops Friday, so be sure to check it out, grab it, you know, support your favorite artists.

Mister Amiss Share Wish You Never

Leave a comment

This Friday, LA’s Mister Amiss will release the Nominal EP, but with that, we’ve got to make sure you get a little taste of what’s in store here. This is good old modern indie pop tunes, employing these jangling guitars that shimmy in the song’s front end, punctuated by light synth notes that hit you in the face. Of course, the melodic balance is necessary, so you get that in the dreamy sensation crafted by the vocal work on this tune, pulled back to allow for space to develop the song as a whole. It’s a feel good jam that can help you kick into Tuesday here!

Hollow Hand Drop New Single

Leave a comment

It is a bright, sunny day here in Austin, TX with many of us on vacation, or at the very least, putting in short days as we wind down a brief week. Though he isn’t exactly from the land of sunny mornings, Brighton based Max Kinghorn-Mills, under his recording moniker Hollow Hand, has the perfect new tune for clear skies and hopeful days. His latest, “One Last Summer”, features a sort of folk inspired pop sound harkening back to say CSNY but with more modern Americana vibes like Fruit Bats. Hopefully it brightens your morning.

Kinghorn-Mills reports that this track is the first taste of a new LP in the works. No release date as of yet.

Great Lakes Announce Contenders

Leave a comment

You ever stumble into a tune that just makes you nostalgic for home? Well, listening to the Ben Crum’s voice on the new single from Great Lakes had me yearning for that feeling, searching my soul for hints of home. I love how the track toys with Americana vibes, particularly as the voice has a wee bit of twang, but it’s still not afraid to put forth a heavy rock vibe that certainly seems like no easy feat. The guitar work and heavy stomp of the rhythm section often seem to work beneath the song’s surface, bubbling up in the chorus, jamming in the interludes, and dragging the song with a heavier hand across the finish land. If you’re into good tunes that feel like comfort food, then jam out here, and look for Contenders when it hits in February 4th via HHBTM.

Semi Trucks Share Thank You

Leave a comment

Next week, LA’s Semi Trucks will release their new Vs. California album via Meritorio Records, and with that, we get another track to entice you to give it some notice. Listening here, there’s this ramshackle home recording vibe, or lo-fi as the kids like to call it. In a way, it sounds like some sort of fusion between a Beat Happening record and maybe something fuzzier from the UK in the late 80s; I can even hear folks drawing some David Berman comparisons on the vocals. One thing is for sure…this tune’s the sort that kind of catches you off guard, stands out amidst the rest of the noise, then you hold it closely as you listen on repeat for years to come. Grab the whole LP next week!

His His Shares In the Wind

Leave a comment

The air in Austin got a little crisp overnight, and with a holiday break on the horizon, well, my students are mentally already there. So, to prepare myself, I needed something a little soothing and calm, which is great because I’ve been sitting on this great new His His tune for a few days now. There’s something in the guitar play that recalls Kings of Convenience, but it also has this unique knack of adding in these little bedroom pop details that elevate the tune. It’s one of those songs you just want to sit with for a bit, kind of ride out the storm of your life with the track lurking in the background.

Salt Lake Alley Announce It Takes Two

Leave a comment

The year’s had some great pop tune, though I’ll be honest, as I’m not quite sure that anything’s really delivered the supreme jangle that I deserve! Well, that all changes today when Salt Lake Alley announce their sophomore LP, on Shelflife no less! From the moment you press play the guitars skate and shimmy, sort of skirting around you speakers as the beat bounces lightly in the background. I love how Mikael and Gustav seem to be trading off vocal roles on this song, adding this real dynamic punch that charms a pop fan like myself. Oh, and please please hang out just pass the 1:37 mark as there’s one hell of a guitar solo just waiting to make you swoon over the hooks. Their new LP, It Takes Two won’t be out until 2022, but you can enjoy the first sample below!

Abram Shook Drops Coconut Rum

Leave a comment

Our good old friend Abram Shook has sure mixed things up since his early days in the Great Nostalgic, with a high energy push towards the purity of pop with his last few releases. Today, we’re sharing the latest single from the Austin songwriter, and it’s definitely a hook-laden toe-tapping jam; if you can’t feel this one, then we’re of no help. Abram’s joined on vocal duties by Camille Lewis of Dead Recipe, layering the song in a playfulness as the two spar back and forth…plus its nice to see Christopher Cox getting in on the mix too! Turn it up, and let’s tear it up; it’s Tuesday!

Vern Matz Share Tokyo Sounds

Leave a comment

Feeling fragile on Friday, so what better way to immerse myself in like-minded music, such as the new single from Vern Matz. This is the sort of intimate songwriting I adore, where the strums echo like they’re hanging out in the next room and the vocals seem to strain with every drop of emotion left out there. For some reason, this feels like one of those songs that never let you escape, offering you this precious experience that’s likely to crumble to sand once you hit the song’s end. Feel free to play it until your feelings float off far away, and then wait with me as there’s a new Vern Matz tune on the horizon!

Parrot Dream Share Final Single of 2021, The End

Leave a comment

I’ve really enjoyed the work Parrot Dream have put into things over the last few singles, and all the way back to their last major release, and it seems they aim to end the 2021 year with one final gem to seduce you into their world. “The End” actually begins opening up on this cavernous emptiness, punctuated by a sampled drum and a thumping pulse. Little notes dance across the horizon, careful not to interfere with the rhythmic nature of the song itself. This is where Christina Appel lets her voice shimmer, calling to the listener like a siren, beckoning. A careful ear will hear the pulse speed up at times, and the cavern is filled with various notes that seem destined to intoxicate. And then its all wrapped up, because ultimately, we’ve come to “The End.”
