Heather Trost Shares the Devil Never Sleeps

Leave a comment

When the first single from Heather Trost‘s forthcoming LP dropped, I found it a thought-provoking bit of baroque pop music. But, on the latest single, we find Trost visiting a little bit of a noisier realm…one that wouldn’t be far off from the work of Dummy or Stereolab. You press play and are almost instantly greeted with this squall of guitar noise feeding back atop a grumbling drum roll; it’s an adventure into the trance-inducing side of psychedelia. But, a little electronic blip begins to bubble up, soon joined by Heather’s voice draped atop, whispering to the listener through the fuzzy wall of sounds. The new LP, Devil Flowers, will be out on November 12th via Ba Da Bing.

Summer Flake Return with Stranger Single

Leave a comment

It’s been several years since we’ve heard from Aussie outfit Summer Flake, but we’re all being rewarded today with a brand new single and the hope that more is on the horizon. A light little strum drew me into this tune, offering a sort of musical ray of sunshine that could slide right into any moment in your life. The vocals feel equally as light, and in a sense, almost dreamily playful, riding the mix like a white knight on a glorious stallion of melody. To me, there’s something super sweet in its simplicity, and I can’t help but appreciate every moment of this tune; here’s to hoping we get more. Track out today courtesy of Rice is Nice!

Phantom Handshakes Drop Passport (How Far I Will Be)

Leave a comment

Phantom Handshakes will be dropping their new latest LP in a little over a week or so; it’s shaping up to be even more special than the previous release. With this new single, the band highlight their ability to kind of maintain this melodic dreaminess, keeping the song tethered to that central piece, which in this case comes from Frederica’s voice. Where other acts might push to be overly explosive, or push the beat beyond the vocals, this duo hold it in place, allowing the listener space to let the mind wonder in and out of consciousness as they draw their ears towards the speaker. A Passport to Remain is released on November 3rd.

No Museums Share Folk Art

Leave a comment

No Museums are no stranger to these here Interweb pages, and I’m really stoked on this ripping tune they’ve just gotten out there. In this song, it feels like that sort of middling ground between noise exploration and meditative rock. There’s a guitar line, galloping like a wild horse through the song’s horizon, juxtaposed with this melodic vocal that sort of operates with some sort of pop gravitational pull. It feels like at any time the band could lose it and entirely let go, or, perhaps not. Interested to see if this is a precursor to a new album, but for now, I welcome the noise!

Old Fire Share Window Without a World ft. Julia Holter

Leave a comment

There’s this building tranquility in the forthcoming LP from John Mark Lapham’s Old Fire project, and perhaps no track on the album better epitomizes that than this carefully constructed new single, featuring Julia Holter. Everything about this tune feels like slow-motion, like some sort of glitch in the matrix where you can see/hear the goings-on, but only watch from your window. Julia’s voice is actually a sample Lapham used from “World,” but he’s almost made it robotic, which only increases the solitude of the vocal in the midst of this ever expansive tune. It’s really a quieting journey you won’t want to skip in this chaotic mess of a world. Voids will be out on November 4th via Western Vinyl.

New Music from Silver Biplanes

Leave a comment

When listening to Silver Biplanes latest single, you’re certainly going to here that nostalgic pop feel; the vocals are certainly reminiscent of the doo-wop pop era. But, the packaging of the sugary center is a little different here. The band build a heavy wall of fuzz, bathing the sweetness in this distorted world of atmospherics. It’s like the band have constructed this cocoon of darkness, but on the inside is this brilliant butterfly ready to break free and present itself unto the world. If you’re interested in what the band are doing, as you should be, keep an ear out, as the group are set to release A Moment in the Sun just after the new year kicks off, via WIAIWYA.

Vern Matz Shares Reality Bites

Leave a comment

I totally love listening to Vern Matz‘s voice; there’s something so seemingly honest in his delivery that I just instantly find myself falling in deep. On his latest single, Matz gives you a bare-bones acoustic performance, with the weight of the strum coming through to give the song just a hint of punch. It makes sense that there’s production work from Toledo on this tune, as they share a similar laid back attitude to songwriting, though elevated from the tried and bored Americana of old. If you’re looking for something soft and smooth to set you on your way this Monday morning, then by all means, nestle up to this track; there’s a new album coming real soon!

Dayflower Release Picturefall

Leave a comment

Readers should not be surprised to see us covering another track from Leicester’s Dayflower, as the group have hit our site before…but I’m really enamored by the latest tune. Light cymbals and twisting guitars brought me into the fold, teasing me with a softer whispering vocal, all before the song really launches into a heaver brand of dreamy shoegaze. Chords bend and distortion rings out, seemingly riding out a storm of noisy atmosphere before slinking back to the more pensive center of the tune, which gets a bonus added backing vocal that really ups the ante on melody. This tune’s a journey of dreamy shoegaze, so if that’s your bag, then turn it up and enjoy.

Ribbon Stage Share Exaltation Single

Leave a comment

Up until now, Ribbon Stage‘s new ripper of an album has been accompanied by poppy singles, albeit brandished in the band’s discordant fashion. But, while they’ve noted various indiepop darlings in their work, this new single seems to be channeling a bit of Kim Gordon in the craft; the vocals feel heavy and dark, with just a hint of indifference towards everything surrounding it. Musically, the vocals are surrounded by a swirling tornado of noise, with a subtly bouncing drum beat hooking into the show here. Just really can’t get out to say enough good things here about the group; they drop Hit with the Most next Friday via K Records.

Shake Chain Share Internet Single

Leave a comment

London’s Shnake Chain are getting a lot of buzz overseas, not that we’d necessarily catch all that over here. Luckily, we keep an eye out on Upset the Rhythm, so this tune felt like the perfect wake-up call for you. Musically, the song snakes its way between dangerous punk notes and pulsating bounce, allowing the notes to playfully move all around a crowd of listeners. Musically it’s right in my wheelhouse, but taking it to the next level is Kate Mahony’s performance, wiggling and gyrating through a vocal performance that almost feels like it’s coming to you live; you can feel the sinister energy, and in that, you’re sucked into the band’s sound and performance. Sounds like an angrier Duchess Says to me. Shake Chain release their self-titled LP on November 18th via Upset the Rhythm.
