The Submissives Share Friend Named Betty

We’ve been on board with all the hits coming out of Montreal from the Submissives, and for those that love a classic pop sound, you’re going to really dig on this new single. In a sense, it reminds me a bit of the approach Shannon and the Clams have to crafting their ditties, only this go is stripped of the garage tendencies and paved by lighter jangling guitar notes. Those little stabbing lines create a bit of playfulness, begging for the rest of the tune to ease into the pop melodics with a barrage of great harmonies. Live at Value Sound Studios better be on your radar; it drops next Friday!

Nap Eyes Share Dark Mystery Enigma Bird

Perhaps we’re way off base here, but listening to the new Nap Eyes single, I feel like I’m in the hippest jazz bar around; there’s a great crooner on the mic, locked into this charming delivery, towering over the audience. Behind him, the best band in town, working on crafting a solid level of percussion and rhythm, and in doing so, they’ve built this realm where you can imagine our crooner spinning and grinning before an adoring audience. But, as the track furthers, fiery guitars shoot across the horizon, filling out the room before them, and suddenly you feel alive. It’s a powerful move, taking it from a solo performance to a full audience experience. They drop The Neon Gate on October 18th via Paradise of Bachelors and Paper Bag Records.

Red Sleeping Beauty’s October Pop Single

What a treat this year has been for fans of the Swedish pop outfit, Red Sleeping Beauty, and here we are in October with their new single from their monthly pop series. This is a heavy synth wash, working really carefully by driving a heavy bubble beneath the smoothed vocal delivery. Vocals and drum samples weave in and out, with synthetic musical spotlights shining through to put a little shine on the hooks that drive the band’s sound. The sad thing? There’s only two more months of delicious pop, and we’re salivating to hear what’s in store before 2024 wraps up.

Florist Share This Was a Gift Single

As we change into the seasons and the end of another year of reflection, the introverted music begins to brim with emotion within, thus falling in love with this new Florist single was made easy. Emily Sprague’s vocals always feel comforting, but the way they sort of roll in step with the percussion adds this seamlessness that continues illustrates the tightness in the group’s craft. Plus, as a human who dabbles in writing about music, you’re going to be hard-pressed to find a lyrical line that encompasses that concept more than “I just want music in my life/I just want us to sing along.” Pretty special line from a continuously special lot; their single brought to you by Double Double Whammy.

Naked Roommate Share Broken Whisper

There’s a lot of anticipation for the forthcoming Naked Roommate record, at least over on our end of things. The feeling of this record is a little brighter, if you’re going off the singles, and this latest track definitely feels like a huge summer block party. Utilizing horns and snapping percussive elements, they lock into this playful groove that feels like a boogie-down barbecue, bumping the joyousness when the whole gang joins in for the vocal work that they drop right in our lap. Summer may be winding down, but that doesn’t mean you and your friends can’t have a helluva time listening to the Pass the Loofah; it drops on October 25th via Trouble in Mind Records.

Holding Hour Share Can I Leave Me Too Single

Des Moines outfit Holding Hour have been offering up these little gems over the past few years, and I’ve really loved diving into their fresh single. Personally, I love when there are two distinctive musical narratives running through a track, working against each other, yet intertwining so seamlessly; it allows the duo to build this textured density that gives all of their work a heavy emotional weight. Lyrically, the track, with trading vocal roles, takes on the subject of admitting your faults in a relationship, though not quite embracing your own role, as you seek to escape your own shortcomings. Continue to love the world these two are building.

Wolfschmidt Shares ATM + Drops New EP

A couple of weeks ago I brought you an introduction to Sweden’s Wolfschmidt, or so I’d like to think. Today, I’m here to share another rad track from their fresh as a daisy Cosmic Joke EP. This tune pummels your ears with these sharp walls of angular noise, hurtling them towards you like Zeus and his trusty lightning bolts, hitting you again and again. But, with all that noise and driving rhythmic rise and fall, there’s a central voice that continues to let you fall in love; the vocals are huge, retreating when they needed to and belting at the top of the mix when needed. You’re definitely going to enjoy a good listen to Cosmic Joke; it’s available for jamming right now!

Joyer Share Glluu Video

While the previous Joyer singles have seen the band dabbling in bits of shoegaze, it seems they’re new song has been influenced by a lot of the peers they’re about to tour with, like Wishy and Horse Jumper of Love. This one is a quiet bit of vocals and intricate guitar pieces, and while there’s a slight percussive bit, it hangs far in the distance, as the rhythm is mostly worked through by overlapping vocal harmonies. And, despite the pretty nature of the single, the group just can’t help themselves, peeling back the curtains for a wash of noise to close the tune out. Their new EP, I See Forward and Back, will be out next Friday via Hit the North.

MOMI Share Spring in Reverse + Release MOMI001

Thanks to all the time I’ve spent with the recent Dummy album, my worlds just seem to be mixing like one of those psychedelic light shows they employ at Levitation; just like this new MOMI tune. The Sydney based duo are blending synthetics with a warbling wash of strange pop. There are moments when the tune drifts into this air indie rock, while other moments it feels like some sampled break-beat induced pop tune, mysteriously drawing you in with its whimsy. We’re at a place where folks are pushing their tastes into one striking world, and in doing so, we keep being given the gifts like the whole of this MOMI001 LP.

Curling Drop New Single

Admittedly, this new Curling single’s been out for a week or so, but there’s definitely no reason to skip over this striking A side single, and it’s accompanying B-side. Their style on this single hits at sort of a mixture of softened indie rock, though spun with a certain sense of longing that’s super thrilling; there’s something about it that feels very late 90s, like a lot of bands stepping out of those post-emo shadows into more ornate indie rock. Listen for those really crisp high notes that span throughout various moments on the track, and each time it hits, I’m just crushed. The new single comes at you via Royal Oakie.
