Soot Sprite Share Home Among Your Bones

Leave a comment

Having already covered the A side to the new 7″ from UK’s Soot Sprite, it feels apt that we should also share the B side, as that’s now available with the full release out. While “I Went Swimming” has this sharp bite to it, you’ll find “Home Among Your Bones” a bit more like a soothing bit of aloe on a freshly burned bit of skin; it shimmers with warm melody from Elise Cook, while the band build up this little dose of texture give depth to the bedroom pop vibe. They save the loudest bits for the punctuated end, so be sure to stick through until the close, and grab a copy from Specialist Subject!

New Single from Robber Robber

Leave a comment

Robber Robber will be dropping their new Wild Guess LP at the end of this week, and every time I get a new single, it’s like a grab bag, offering different little musical bites for me to sample. Their newest kicks off in a very run-of-the-mill fashion, but then takes a left turn to capture the runaway noise, fueled by a youthful vibrance and perhaps sheer indifference to expectations, making their sound all the more exciting. Nina Cates kick-ass delivery also seems to be taunting us, playing on the spoken-word manifestation, but then almost pulling our leg, embracing her control over the listener. Again, if you’re looking for a band willing to take you wherever their mind goes, you’ll love Wild Guess, which drops Friday!

Cryogeyser Release Sorry

Leave a comment

It has been nearly three years since we last heard from L.A. based band Cryogeyser with their album timetetheredtogether from 2021. Today the group have returned in full force with this stunner of a reintroduction called “Sorry.” I think you’ll find it plays lightly between darker, grungy elements and delicate pieces of dreamy pop at the same time. I’m finding it to be a nice wake up call on this slow moving Monday morning. Stay tuned for more details on what is hopefully more singles.

The Burbs Share Ladder to the Moon

Leave a comment

One can’t run away from their Britpop past, and as an avowed fan of that era, this track from the Burbs feels right at home in my listening today. That being said, the Melbourne outfit have these little subtle classic rock flourishes too, sort of holding onto nostalgic tendencies while they continue to push themselves. It’s like Oasis got stuck in a pit of quicksand, as they try to escape, the vocals seem like their drifting into the ether, which gives it more of a Pink Floyd vibe. A lot of buzz behind this outfit, so expect to hear more as we push towards the year’s end.

Julia Sophie Shares Wishful Thinking Single

Leave a comment

We’ve been indulging in the latest LP from Julia Sophie, and with another single out, we thought we’d point you in her direction. Sophie’s work gets to play with the song craft, and I love how the electronic elements of this seem to have multiple layers, perfectly complimenting one another. The backbone works on this pulsating synth line that immediately provides pace upon pressing place, but listen carefully. There’s a soft fall of pop layering that comes in a bit more sparsely, taking care to not let the song run straight onto the dance floor. By muting that pace, it allows for the power of Julia’s voice to drift in and out in the negative space, letting the accents of the beat hit in all the right spots. She’ll be releasing Forgive Too Slow this Friday via Ba Da Bing Records.

 

High Pitched Scream Share Morning Light Single

Leave a comment

Really enjoying this fresh single from Sydney act High Pitched Scream, which definitely feels like it has the perfect groove for a Monday morning listening routine. The verses have this brooding growl, circling around this melodic center that helps build a bit of the pop that you’d need to keep you going. Tune into the chorus where the band offers up a bit more of a sharp bite, pushing into territory that’s almost more punk rock in nature as they bang out heavy riffs with huge kicks. You know you’re a sucker for a tune that’s both rocking and soaking in hooks, so turn it up and tune out.

Daily Worker Drop Sister Dream Video

Leave a comment

It’s been a busy season for Harold Whit Williams, but as of late he’s been focusing on the forthcoming Daily Worker EP, which drops this August. Today we’re pleased to share a fresh single from that release, which might have fans of his old project Cotton Mather quite enthused. This song’s fueled by a classic pop rock sensibility, offering up these huge guitar riffs that crunch beneath your feet, all centered around the cool vocal delivery of Williams; I love the way “dreaaaaammm” gets stretched out to the max, adding a nice little emphatic touch to the psychedelic burn that bleeds through this new tune. If you’re jamming out, be sure to keep an eye out for the MF Genius EP dropping on August 15th.

Rose Brokenshire Shares Afterthought

Leave a comment

When not fighting wildfires for the Canadian government, Rose Brokenshire returns home to hole up and craft reflective pop songs. On the latest single, she’s reflecting on the realization that all her energy might have been spent on the underserving, leaving her last in line for her own love. She drapes those emotions atop a trickling beat that rolls up and down upon the cresting hills of a subtle piano line. Something in the voice feels like a sense of longing, perhaps the nostalgic leaning of reflecting on past relationships, though coming to grips with that sentiment seems to be the step towards more great pop music from the songwriter!

Teenage Tom Petties Share Night Nurse

Leave a comment

Dear Teenage Tom Petties. I sincerely need you to stop writing such catch pop songs that, quite frankly, are ruining my day. I’m sitting here looking at an email inbox of over 100 new tracks and albums, but all I want to do is listen to this new track. I love how you’ve pushed the gritty bits of guitar to the distance; they’re not completely gone, but they allow the pitch of the vocals to really sell the melody. Oh, and then you went and threw in some “whoas” and handclaps. Are you serious? How can you expect anyone to get anything done when you’re writing with such whimsy and joy, all the while tossing in hooks galore? You’ve ruined my day. Alas, I’ll have to go grab a copy of your new self-titled record, dropping on August 2nd via Safe Suburban Home/Repeating Cloud.

Ed Schrader’s Music Beat Share Roman Candle

Leave a comment

While I adored the early music of Ed Schrader’s Music Beat, I think I’m more in awe now seeing how they’ve dedicated themselves to never repeating what they’ve done before, going so far in their recent bio to say “the next album’s gotta be different from the last one.” This new single offers up a heartbeat-pulse to begin, but soon rushes off to meet Ed’s vocals; they sound like they’re a bit more operatic than one might expect, which is one of the consistently fascinating things about the group as they seem to evade pigeonholing from twerps like me. There’s this anxiousness that builds throughout, almost like some sort of possession has taken over Schrader, forcing him to belt his voice high above the frantic nature of the single itself. Their new album, Orchestra Hits, is shaping up quite nicely, if I do say so; it’s out via Upset the Rhythm on September 20th.
