Julian Never Delivers New Single + Preps Pious Fiction

Leave a comment

After a tasty little 7″, it looks like we’re finally getting a full length from Julian Elorduy’s project Julian Never. Quick stick hits let the song rush right in with this feathered voice, providing a softened light jangle not too far off from what you’d get from a Reds Pinks and Purples track. Pushing forward, textures build behind the vocals and the sound takes on a bit more bulk, feeling a little it more weight before Julian turns back towards the snapping snare hits and calmed vocal; I love how there’s this contrast between the soothing voice and everything working behind the scenes, like a ray of sun shining through a dense fog. Mt. St. Mtn. will release Pious Fiction on January 13th.

Doom Flower Share Candle Habit

Leave a comment

The new album from Doom Flower is on the horizon, and I feel like I’ve perhaps been sleeping a bit on it, but that’s changing today! Their new single is the perfect little pop piece to sample as you, too, look towards the release of Limestone Ritual. Circumstances forced the band to change directions slightly in the recording process, which while frustrating seems to have built this beautiful bit of trip-pop. That’s right, they’re toying with textures and break beats to create this melancholic pop brand, punctuated by the crisp vocal delivery from Jess Price. Working within the confines appears to be paying off huge dividends, as the LP feels like a very special listen. You can hear all of Limestone Ritual in January courtesy of Record Label.

The Sour Notes Release Middle Distance

2 comments

Sour Notes are one of those Austin bands we all seem to take for granted. They work at their own pace, take some musical risks and for some reason, seem to constantly fly under the radar of what’s deemed “cool” in this silly town. On this excursion, the band completely shy away from vocals, instead building this heavy wall of indie rock sound, filling your cup with textural notes that overflow with nods to all the band’s various influences. Guitars toy with classic guitar pop from the 80s, though there’s an underlying bit of melody and synth washes spilling onto the floor. Always appreciate the band keeping it real real DIY.

Blood Return with Self Improvement Single

Leave a comment

After delivering their rad Bye Bye EP, former Austin outfit Blood return with this rad new single to satiate your needs. This tune plays upon the group’s ability to reign in the cacophony of feuding noise and bringing it to a driving center, flirting with just the barest hint of melody. Like the song, the video encompasses the frantic nature, with images and clips overlapping and growing on your screen, matching the musical eruptions spewing forth from the group’s amps. Clearly their move to Philly is paying off as the band now have the backing of Fire Talk on their new single; hard work pays off kids.

Lust for Youth Drop New Single

Leave a comment

I don’t DJ often, but when I do, it’s always got a Lust for Youth jam in there. The Danish outfit provide this heavy electronica, pulsing and dark, just like their newest single dancing down below. It’s their first work since their self titled LP from 2019, and they’ve trimmed the project down to just two members. But, just because their slimming down, doesn’t mean this song’s not heavy on the hooks, which is their pop specialty. I can just picture myself dancing in my won two-foot circle, air punching as glitter falls from the ceiling and this jams thumps through the speakers. Hopefully this signals more great new hits on the horizon.

Blues Lawyer Share Chance Encounters

Leave a comment

It’s been a few years since we’ve gotten our hands on a solid Blues Lawyer LP, but it looks like 2023 will finally bring us all a little bit of joy by way of All in Good Time. Feedback opens the door for pounding rhythm sections to toss us right into the mix, with the guitars knifing in form the distance and steadying the noise simultaneously. You’ll find the vocals hanging themselves out to dry on this pure pop clothesline; there are certain notes just dangling on the ends with this joyous melody. There’s even a little aid from backing vocals, all before the song wrestles with a furious stomp that helps bring it to a close; it’s rad to see the band not missing a beat despite a little bit of an absence. They drop the new LP on February 17th via Dark Entries.

Hibou Unleashes Perfect Pop Gem

Leave a comment

Although my tastes have been all over the place this morning, it’s good to settle on a brand new track from Hibou that hits right where my daily musical tastes trend. Peter Michel’s project has a new EP coming our way in January, and this single offers a hint at the treats in store. It’s got that sweetness indiepop fans adore, just barely coated in a bit of heavy atmospherics to let it swim in the pools of dream pop. Ultimately, I always land on those crisp guitar jangles, juxtaposed with the pulsing rhythm and warm wash of the vocal play. This lands in that territory between early Wild Nothing and late Pains of Being Pure at Heart, so if that sounds like you, just press play. Arc EP is out on January 13th!

An Echoic Begs Take Me With You to Outer Space

Leave a comment

There’s something in this season of the year that always makes us reflect, for whatever reason; I blame all the family time. Still, you need a soundtrack, and this morning this track from Sweden’s An Echoic just magically works. It’s got this adventure in it, be that in the song’s title itself, or the way the vocals get stretched to the edge of the Earth’s atmosphere. Something in the way the vocals just kind of hang on to the edge of certain tones reeks of the longing, the sense that we’re all barely hanging on, the fragility of it all…thus the need for that new adventure into outer space.

Stunning New Single From Angel Apricot

Leave a comment

As I think I’ve previously mentioned, I often spend time perusing the bandcamp new and notable section for music I may have missed to add to ATH or to my daily playlists. While skimming the new tunes this morning, I came across this captivating new song called “Sparks” from Toronto based artist angel apricot. Not a lot of information is out there about the artist outside of an IG and youtube channel, but this is truly one of those songs that can speak for itself. Sort of a Grizzly Bear inspiration with heavy bass and delicate vocals.

If you’re into these sounds, angel apricot has an entire 13 song album entitled the pink sunset over you available to stream in full on bandcamp.

Dancing with Abracadabra’s Talk Talk

Leave a comment

Sometimes I have to remind myself that there really is no point in feigning to be cool or pretend like I’m some magical gatekeeper of indie cool. Instead, I’m merely here every day or so to promote jams that I’m loving, and right now, I’m grooving with this new tune from Abracadabra. This Oakland outfit is throwing out some Caribbean beats fused with elements of post-punk and crafty early beat work from the likes of ESG. Plus, they spin it with these playful vocals that ultimately make you feel like you’re the cool one just for partaking in this dance party. Put down your cool patch and slide right into this tune on your way to super fun times. Their album, Shapes & Colors drops in January via Melodic.
