Buddie Drop Impatient

Leave a comment

Maybe you’re already hip to Buddie, but if not, let us assure you that the Vancouver squad are going to be one of your favorite things to slide into today. They’re offering up the modern blend of grunge and noise rock, though my favorite thing is that they never shy away from dropping in a huge hook. The vocals perfectly build up, trudging through the murkiness of heavy riffs and shoe-gaze-y shoot-offs, climbing this tonal mountain then dropping back into to meet the listener with a warm blast of melodic notes. This jam comes our way courtesy of Crafted Sounds.

Abdomen Share Yes I Don’t Know Single

Leave a comment

There’s very little out there about Dutch trio Abdomen, but I’ve been really fascinated by their sound as I continue to crank up the volume. A sneaky start of snapping snare soon opens up to stabbing strokes on the guitar; there’s an ominous feel with another layer working beneath, building this sort of industrial fusion with post-punk vibes. When the vocals enter, they’re sort of muted, as if they’re just echoing from down the hall. Blasts of noise are a warning sign of what’s to come, increasing the tension as the drums join in and the song begins to embrace its own danger. Fucking cool as hell, and a glimpse at what’s to come on their debut album, which will drop via FatCat Records in February.

Generifus Share Body and Mine + Release Summerberrys

Leave a comment

Everyone’s trying to cram as much new music into the end of the year as possible, so let’ add the latest release from Generifus to the mix of things I’ve had on rotation. The single below shares the brightness in the guitar style that runs through Summerberrys, which still resonates as we near record days of heat over here in Texas. What I was drawn towards, and perhaps this is due to my indulgence in the style, but something about Spencer’s voice this go round feels very Oceanic; it has that casualness allowing for the narration of a well-lived life. You’ll find the chorus offering up some sweet rewards too, so indulge below.

Sharon Van Etten & the Attachment Theory Announce Debut LP

Leave a comment

I’ll be upfront here; I did not enjoy the last Sharon Van Etten record. I love her voice, and its got such huge range, but that LP let me down. So, here we are on new horizons for the artist, as she’s enlisted her band in the songwriting process, creating something that feels a little bit like a darkened twist on her previous work. For me, the synth stabs that operate in the shadows while Van Etten offers a shimmering vocal performance are what make this quite a jam for you. It kind of feels like the band have allowed her to revisit the darker side of her craftsmanship, so we’re looking forward to seeing what Sharon Van Etten & the Attachment Theory is really all about; the debut drops on February 7th via JagJaguwar.

La Securite Share Detour Single

Leave a comment

You’re going to throw a stabbing post punk guitar riff at me? Then follow it up with this infectious bass groove and a bit of bob-and-weave vocal stylings? Okay, I’ll follow you anywhere at that point, just like I will with a new La Securite single. And, as much as I love the hooks in the songwriting, there are some elements towards the latter half that just put the group in their groove, locking into the fun of building noise and letting the mixture swirl around until it all sounds absolutely perfect. This is the perfect reminder of how great the group are, and perhaps why I should go revisit Stay Safe!

12XU Readies Box of Dark Roses, the Final Mope Grooves LP

Leave a comment

I suppose that I could wait to toss Box of Dark Roses out with our casual Friday Album Streams, but seeing as 12XU got another track out before the release of the final Mope Grooves record, it feels as if I should shine a little more purposeful light in that direction. But, even as a fan of stevie and her work, it’s also hard to write about their efforts to fight for marginalized groups, particularly as a cis-white dude. All that to say, the new tune that’s been bopping around is a solid glimpse at the importance of the 27 songs coming our way Friday. There’s a propulsive beat that courses throughout, then layer upon layer get added, thickening the piece; you can get a glimpse of stevie’s process with the repeated line of “it is right to fight,” punching through the speakers. Personally, I love the piano notes that creep through the metallic backdrop, illustrating a sort of juxtaposition between the beauty and harshness the music is confronting. There’s a digital treatise of sorts from stevie, which you can read HERE. Otherwise, grab a copy of the LP on Friday!

 

Rosali Releases Hey Heron

Leave a comment

If you were paying attention to the Cardinals at the Window, the compilation benefitting flood victims, then you’ve possibly already indulged in this new Rosali song. But, seeing as she released a powerhouse record earlier this year, we wanted to point you in the direction of this single. There’s a slow burning guitar that courses through, reminiscent of the summer haze that we’re trying to escape down here in Texas. Take in the slow burn, then go dive into Bite Down, if you haven’t done so already. This tune is out there, like her album, courtesy of some label called Merge Records.

Geoffrey O’Connor Signs to Dinosaur City

Leave a comment

After several releases with Chapter Music, Geoffrey O’Connor has announced he’ll be working with Dinosaur City Records on his new LP. Atop of writing great pop songs, Geoffrey also creates his own videos, this go round opting to go with an adorable cutout penguin as his companion. The musical pieces around O’Connor’s voice highlight the majesty he’s offered since his earliest days in The Crayon Fields, boosting that croon into this infectious melody you can’t steal away from, nor is that your desire. I Love What We Do will be out on February 14th, with more pop hits to follow!

LP Gavin Share Launderette Euphoria Video

Leave a comment

After a little blast from that earlier Nothing Natural tune, you’re likely ready to settle into your chair, then get right down to business, thus you’ll need to get this LP Gavin track on repeat. It’ll greet you with a little bit of a bluesy swagger, then churning it out with a bit of fuzz to make your speakers rattle. All the while, Gavin is just staying cool, detailing the little observations of the world he’s been able to make. There’s something in the vocals and the guitars that almost seems to drag a bit behind the beat, only to pick up again and launch into gritty little breakdowns and solo guitar chugs. Safe Suburban Home will be putting out a new LP in February of next year, so keep your ears ready.

Club 8 Share All I Know

Leave a comment

Throughout the string of stellar singles this season Club 8 have relied upon their electronic skillset to pump out hooks galore, but on their latest bop, the group are employing a more subtle piece, allowing the vocals to control the tune’s narrative. You’ll find moments in this track where they feel as if they’re nearing old school Camera Obscura methodology, operating with that high melody, with the backbeat just giving the song a bit of life and springiness. They always know how to come in at just the right time, bringing all the pieces together and leaving us with another enjoyable pop adventure.
