Ariella Announces Crybaby LP

Leave a comment

We were only recently introduced to Ariella this past Spring when we were gifted a few of her early singles, both which are popping up on her debut, Crybaby. But, that LP now has a release date and a brand new track for your enjoyment. The sentiment of this song is immediately felt as it swoops in with the line “hate that I miss you/hate that you’re still on the back of my min,” diving head first into the pool of relationships gone wrong. While this might be the debut LP, there’s a maturity in the way these songs were put together that’s brimming with detailed nuance; I’m a sucker for the way the strings build this emotional touch that harkens to lovelorn pop of my teen years. A new strong voice for you all to latch onto; Crybaby is out October 11th via Lauren Records.

John Davis Shares Take My Brains Out

Leave a comment

Knowing that Jinx originally began as a Superdrag record, definitely has my attention as another John Davis track drops; I’ve absolutely loved everything the band did, so completely on board to hear where Davis is going working with some other songwriters. One thing’s for sure, he’s not shying away from delivering punchy pop rock, though this has that incredible warmth we found on the later Superdrag LPs. Bits of fuzz and angular riffs echo here, though Davis’ distinctive turn of notes is what I keep coming back to on my end. Not to mention, John even admits to the silliness of the chorus, and as always seems to be the case, he’s just embracing the joy of the craft. Jinx is out September 27th.

Photay Shares Video for Air Lock

Leave a comment

There’s nothing like getting yourself caught up in the week, so before you dive into Wednesday, let Photay mesmerize you with this spiritual bit of electronica…along with its accompanying visual adventure. While some of the beat-work recalls the drum n’ bass constructs, there’s this open nature to the tune’s evolution, kind of building it into this electronic score for some scientific documentary piece. Some robotic vocal moments spring up in the track’s latter half, just like a bud sprouting from the cracked Earth. This tune appears on Windswept, which drops on September 20th.

Skeggs Announce Pacific Highway Music

Leave a comment

There’s just something so satisfying about a new Skeggs tune. Sure, I miss Toby being part of the band, and maybe a bit of his spirit, but the band just know how to write really good pop rock hits. All their songs have these huge choruses you want to scream out loud, even if you’re running at top speed through your neighborhood (trust me on that one!). This new song’s just that, with a little bit of twang added in to keep just a bit of a garage rock edge to the craft, and definitely reminds me that the group still have tons to offer their fans. Look for Pacific Highway Music on the horizon.

Trauma Ray Announce Chameleon LP

Leave a comment

Don’t run when this new Trauma Ray song greets you with a huge wall of earth-shaking noise; it’s meant to be there, building in the perfect bit of contrast that will help make this track one of your favorites of the day. Once the noise subsides in the opening, you’ll fall into a feathered vocal that caresses your inner ear, albeit for just a brief moment. Those soft moments briefly pull you into the core, only for the discordant noise to rain down upon you time and time again, breaking things down slowly as it rocks you all the way to the close. A lot of love for this Texas outfit; they’ll drop their debut LP, Chameleon, on October 25th via Dais Records.

A Place to Bury Strangers Share You Got Me Video

Leave a comment

For all the walls of noise and discord they’ve sowed over the years, it’s nice to see that A Place to Bury Strangers still know how to turn a pop trick or two, as they do in their latest single. This tune began with a jagged run of guitar notes, creating a running pattern that has you chasing the track down. Now, just because the wall of noise that typically accompanies the band’s work is pulled back, doesn’t mean it’s all puppies and rainbows; there’s still an industrial darkness to their craft, and it builds, particularly towards the latter half where some of the notes almost seem lost along their path. Nice to still hear a band throw some wrinkles in their craft; looking forward to hearing Synthesizer when it hits on October 4th via Dedstrange.

Gurry Wurry Offers Hairline Single

Leave a comment

Scottish artist Gurry Wurry is fairly new on the scene, having released a debut album last year, brimming with what I might call no-pop. There’s certainly an allegiance to pop structures, particularly in the songwriting patterns and adherence to curling melodious vocals. But, the pacing almost makes you feel a bit lost, like the track is struggling to keep up with itself, forcing your to sit down and adjust your ears as you realize that the plodding nature is purposeful, an ode to an individualized brand of pop music. Happy for Now is the title of the new album, slated for released on September 20th.

Teasea Shares Always Single

Leave a comment

There’s an astronomical sensation that arrives when you press play on this new Teasea track; the cavernous nature of the distorted guitars contrasted against the bright notes hidden in the mix make you feel weightless, drifting beneath an ocean of stars. You’re falling away, until the vocals enter the picture, tethering you to your reality. Despite the weighted nature of the tune and its ominous tunes, you can almost feel a gradual sense of hope, particularly in the way the vocals hit the melodies and the string arrangements build this crescendo of wistfulness. Definitely a nice visit into the other-worldy region of ambient shoegaze sorts.

Best Bets Share Spooky Signals Video

Leave a comment

We were ecstatic when we got news that there was a new record on the way from Best Bets this year; the first single was reminiscent of new member Joe’s work in Salad Boys, but this one dives full on into blissed out pop rock. You’ll hear two distinctive guitar lines riding through, one creating this curtain of distortion while the other kicks off in the front of the mix, dancing a little jangling jig. There’s a cooled earnestness on the vocals, almost feeling like you’ve got al little hope left for you in the world. The Hollow Husk of Feeling will pleasantly fall into our laps on September 27th via Meritorio Records.

Constant Follower Return with Whole Be + New Album

Leave a comment

Staying with our slow morning vibes here, this new Constant Follower is a reminder of the majesty that swarms around Stephen McAll. There’s always something spiritual in McAll’s voice, as it’s been the lighthouse in the storm for years, but as the tune guides us towards reflection on our own imperfections, you find yourself moved without ever having taken a step. And, as per constant with Constant Follower, the accents added to the craft add these layers of depth that leave you bewildered, almost in awe at how ornate the music feels, while still feeling powerful. This is the first listen from The Smile You Send Out Returns to You, which was recorded here in Texas; it will be out early next year via Last Night from Glasgow.
