Field Guides Drop Latest Single Esopus

Leave a comment

In trying to cram your Friday with as much new tunes as I’ve got under my belt, this delightful new Field Guides tune seems like its got to be included here. Sharp angular riffs do a little jig around this pulsing beat and 80s synth lines, so you just dive into the inner joy right away. Vocals have a feathery touch to them, giving off this sort of darkened croon that’s perfectly contrasted by the shimmering musical underbelly. All of it comes together perfectly, picking up where the band left off with their recent LP, Ginkgo. Definitely a Friday bright spot for you!

Half Dream Share New Single, Roses

Leave a comment

Since releasing their Monster of Needing EP back in early pandemic days, Austin’s Half Dream have consistently been act to keep an eye (or ear rather?) on. Well, we’re in luck as today, we get a new single, with the promise that a debut LP is in the works for next year. And, as much as I loved the broad bedroom pop of their EP, their latest works really show how much Paige Berry has grown as a songwriter. This tune has these little guitar notes that hint at twang, but feel like little musical candles flickering behind Berry’s voice. Suddenly, the guitars take off, drums pick up speed and the whole group begins to flex their musical muscle, overlapping a guitar note here and there. Back and forth the song goes, introspective or galloping, all the while, the band just seem to be taunting us with how accomplished they’ve become. Enjoy this jam, and we look forward to hearing more from the group next year.

Model Shop Share Lucky

Leave a comment

In just a coupe of weeks, we’ll get to hear the entirety of the new Model Shop LP, but we finally get to hear the opening tune, which certainly sets the tone for the record and the band’s intentions. A thumping drum joins up with an acoustic strum, bringing about a galloping earnestness that kicks off hook-laden pop rock you’ll rush to turn up. They up the ante though, as one hook surely isn’t enough for the average pop fan, so they add in some vocal harmonies, adding both contrast and exuberance; it’s an immediate shot to the listener, letting us all know the group aim to please! Love Interest will be out via Meritorio Records on November 25th.

Beige Banquet Kick Out Acid Bath

Leave a comment

Been spending a bit of the morning toying with the pop side of things, so was glad this new Beige Banquet tune came my way, to kind of keep me in touch with my rock n’ roll vibes. This track reminds me in a sense of acts like Omni or Deeper, toying on the edge of post-punk, though here the lyrical approach feels more frantic. It’s got this sort of stage-stalking madness to it, envisioning the vocalist manically waling about the stage and riling up the audience. It’s a maddening rush of riotous cool, and I can’t help but to turn it all the way up on my speakers.

Roller Derby Share Say How Come Video

Leave a comment

I covered a lot of ground at least year’s SXSW, and one of the band’s that absolutely knocked it out of the park was Germany’s Roller Derby. I’d been super high on the band before their show, but their latest single illustrates the group continuing to perfect their pop sound. Here you get the comforting tones from Philine Meyer’s voice, hanging out there almost like a more earnest Nico; it’s a great performance, and one that’s sure to captivate. Still, the band has refined their sound, allowing the chorus to represent the powerful punch, while the verses toy with the dreamier vibes. Hopefully this new single means we’ve got a new LP on the horizon.

Fixtures Return with Jimmy Needs the Money

Leave a comment

With nods to an old school style of rock n’ roll, it looks like Brooklyn’s Fixtures are ready to finally bring us their debut full length LP. Their lead single is a nice little introduction to what’s in store, offering a steady bit of rock swagger; it drips with cool, slowly shaking those hips with some dual vocal harmonizing. But, where you’ll fall in love is when the song hits the turbo button, blasting a bit of hook-laden noise into your ears during the chorus; it swirls with this sort of cacophony, but ultimately warms you with its ties to a central melody. The band drop Hollywood Dog this February via the ultra-reliable Bobo Integral.

Premiere: New Single & Video From Sunfruits

Leave a comment

Australia, and even more specifically Melbourne, has really picked a ton of focus from us recently on the pages of ATH. Rightfully so with a slew of new music coming out over the last year, some of which coming from my new pails in Sunfruits. Today we are premiering another new single from the band called “Believe It” which has a touch more of a pop focus paired with the bands familiar take on psych rock. It’s catchy as hell.

This is part of more new music coming from Sunfruits via killer label Earth Libraries.

Worker & Parasite Share the Silent Majority Video

Leave a comment

A month or so back, Worker & Parasite dropped their latest, the Politics EP. For a brand that sports angular post-punk, the title was pretty apt, and got tons of spinning over here at my home DJ station. But, perhaps the Melbourne band and their cultural ministry of cool slipped under your radar, so they’ve aimed to rectify that with this visual simulation. Sonically, the band are sharp and witty, reminiscent of US acts like Bodega, though you’ll clearly hear that they’re not shying away from dropping the hooks right into your lap either. If you’re digging the vibe, you can stream the whole EP right HERE.

Sean Trelford Readies Care Home Party

We are being shown the future this week, with clever pop tunes from The Laughing Chimes…and now Sean Trelford. Sean’s a teenage songwriter who turned to songwriting to write his way out of his feelings during the pandemic. Those songs have now been compiled to create Care Home Party, a 9 track collection of bedroom pop being championed by our friends at Hidden Bay Records and Field Mates Records. This lead single is playful, and honestly, it’s not too far off from more mainstream indiepop, though the way the tune evolves and sort of trickles down the line is what totally sold me on the sound. Excited to hear the entirety of this LP; it drops on November 18th.

Hhhhhh Release Can You Tell Me What Heaven’s Like

Leave a comment

There’s a new hhhhhh track floating about, and well, I’m a fan of the band’s work, so I wanted to start off this week’s coverage giving it a little spin. Originally, the project was crafted to accompany the short film “Twenty Four Heaven,” a film wherein the protagonist downloads an app to connect with a lost one. For me, the song sort of feels like the waiting music, like Heaven’s put you on hold, so you’re just encouraged to let your mind drift into some sort of trance while you wait to converse with your lost loved one. Feels like the perfect Monday vibe, if you ask me.
