Blue Zero Prep Confusion EP

Leave a comment

It’s weird when folks are already whispering about year end lists and what not, when I’m still getting ready for the rad tunes coming out this week, like the new EP from Blue Zero. They’re delivering a ripping alt-rock sound, packaged in a modern indie grab bag. Discordant notes stab at the speakers instantly, ringing sharply as the vocals crawl through a pit of mud. Then the tune erupts into this heavy noisy chorus, weaving male and female vocals to craft this delicious melody that allows just a glimmer of light to peak behind the darkened clouds. Swirling noise and velvety vocal touches make up their latest track…so keep an eye out of for their Confusion EP tomorrow.

Devin Shaffer Shares Anyone

Leave a comment

Beginning our day with a roll in the electronic underground of Sweden got our energy up, but alas, its time to take a little respite and rest in the mystical world of Devin Shaffer. The New York songwriter is the purest embodiment of ethereal pop I’ve come across of late, with her music fluttering around your head like a moth to a flame. It feels as if you’re traipsing through some Southern town, fog rolling in off the bayous as Spanish moss hangs from the trees; it’s both powerful and haunting, yet the ornate nature maintains a special bit of intimacy. Her new album, Patience, drops next week, November 7th, just in time for you to retreat for the Winter.

Jon Hood Share Primrose

Leave a comment

Big can of Primrose Daycare System, and big fan of this new jam, “Primrose,” by Swedish outfit Jon Hood. It slides right into my recent move back into a more electronic brand of indie rock, a la the Melenas and a million other acts we could name drop for cool points. The whole track feels like a sprint around a track, catching your breath momentarily, then racing back to catch your opponents. There are some tight little turns this way and that from the guitars, not to mention some heavy underground buzzing, all building in the textural balance that made me love this jam.

Matt Kivel Announces Escape from LA

Leave a comment

While the writing process for Matt Kivel‘s latest album took about 7 years to bring the songs to the table, the record is a statement on 33 years living in LA (and how Matt got out!). Our first sample of what’s to come has this broad indie rock brush stroke, dipping a toe in the pools of Yankee Hotel Foxtrot, whilst also sounding utterly unique. When listening, there’s this hint of fragility in Kivel’s voice, just faintly kind of quivering at the end of syllables, reminiscent of Voxtrot‘s Ramesh; it’s a pretty special feel, made deeply emotional when the depth of the arrangements in the track swell around your ear. We’re in for a fantastic voyage if this track is any indicator; Escape from LA is out on December 12th via Scissortail Records…with a brief tour the week before the release with Bonnie “Prince” Billy.

New Annabelle Chairlegs Jam

Leave a comment

Long have we all been fans of Annabelle Chairlegs, and this week Lindsey Mackin and company announced their brand new record for upstart label Todo! The song is a poppy bit of garage rock, with the help of Ty Segall to make sure the balance in the mix is perfect. When you watch the video, the snappiness and joy of the song is clearly apparent in the video; it looks like Lindsey had an absolute blast making it, matching up with the sonic energy coming through your speakers. We promise you’ll not find a more fun jam to crank up today, and be on the lookout for Waking Up in January of next year.

Please to Meet You: Hush

Leave a comment

You can always depend on the Montreal scene to deliver creative pop music that leans just left of the dial, and today, we’re introducing ourselves (and maybe you) to Hush. Their debut single operates with this naturally propulsive vibe, locked in by this biting bit of percussive pop and this delicate bit of jangle on the guitar. Guitars fade a bit, moving into this sort of synthetic pop realm that’s as delighting as it is futuristic pop. When all the elements begin to swirl together, it’s easy to find yourself marveling at the sounds echoing through your headphones. Hoping we get to hear more from the trio in the new year!

Hit Release Pure Unreal Single

Leave a comment

When you roll how we roll, you’re obviously going to miss a few things, as I’ve already copped to this week, but I really did love this new Hit single that dropped the other day. The New York outfit is working on polishing off a new record, slated for early 2026 release, and this tune definitely piqued my interest; there were elements that reminded me of Pains of Being Pure at Heart, especially in the chorus. That said, they take a more kind of open psychedelic approach to the vibe, rather than diving into the jangling side. Dive into the new single and keep the group on your radar for next year!

The Melody Chamber Release New Single

Leave a comment

When I think upon new music, it’s easy to see where a lot of artists are coming from, pulling from this genre and that, but in a modern fashion. That said, you can usually place those tracks in certain eras or time frames, but listening to The Melody Chamber (sans the Echo), you get a timelessness, a sound that blends pop form the ages up until now. You’ll definitely notice some of the softened jangles, encircling your ears with this bright melody, then visiting you with this blanketed vocal warmth that has given the group some Psychedelic Furs comparisons. It’s the sort of music you can turn on any time, and any day, always relishing the charm. Their self-titled debut album will be out on November 7th via HHBTM and Too Good to Be True.

Sweet Nobody Drop Forget Me

Leave a comment

Through their first few handfuls of singles, the folks in Sweet Nobody have been turning out really charming pop rock, but today they make their boldest statement with “Forget Me.” I was first caught by the confidence and power of the vocals, hitting some notes that fall between Sharon Van Etten and Jenny Lewis. But, cementing the power of the vocal hook is the way they build up the tune, using stuttering riffs to kind of add tension to the track, then rolling out the red carpet for the melody to walk right up and blow you away. If pop rock is your bag, there’s not better you’ll here today. They release Driving Off to Nowhere on November 7th via Repeating Cloud.

Magic Fig Share Flammarion

Leave a comment

Somewhere in the realm of dreamy psychedelia lives the sounds of Magic Fig; they’ve incorporated little sprinkles of electronic dreamy pop, not too far off from a Stereolab, then filled the noise behind with these little nods to prog rock and psychedelia. It creates this sense of wonderment that continuously has you rewinding to see if you can revisit the nuanced notes beneath the surface. Around the 4 minute mark you get this guitar excursion, which seemed really fitting, kind of letting the song cascade out to a blissful close. The group should certainly be on your radar as they prepare to release Valerian Tea on November 21st via Exploding in Sound.
