Supermilk Share Many Thanks Single

Leave a comment

If you need an energy injection to get through today, might we encourage you to turn the knob on your stereo up a little louder as you indulge in this new track from Supermilk. On this new single, the London outfit are channeling that sort of sharply bobbing brand of punk, punctuating riff work so as to create a bit of a natural dance. The chorus bites a little heavier, giving off a bit of a drive that maximizes the noise capacity. For my two cents, I love the vocal delivery, particularly when the notes stretch into higher octaves, reminiscent of Futureheads and the way they almost made punk rock sound like a chorale group. The band will release High Precision Ghosts on August 9th via Specialist Subject Records.

TR/ST Shares All At Once Single

Leave a comment

Not sure where or when it was that I first caught TR/ST (who went by Trust at that time), but I do remember the inclination to let my body free itself and immerse myself in what was before me. Now, years down the road, I’m still devoted to the work of Robert Alfons, and I’m definitely excited there’s a new album coming our way, with the first single hanging out below. That freeing sentiment is definitely omnipresent in his work, like the propulsive beat here; you may commence air-punching and foot stomping in your room after craning the volume to an appropriate level. Alfons vocals are distinctive, like a darker version of Anhoni, but built for late night dance floors and shadowy corners. Performanceis out on September 23rd via Dais Records.

True Optimist Drop New Video: The Argument

Leave a comment

When True Optimist dropped their first single, it was this sharply tiptoeing pop tune, playful, yet shadowed. On their latest single, “The Argument,” they’re toying with much the same childish innocence, working along this carefully walked synth line. When Evan and Susan combine their vocal work, the track begins to take on this sedated seance vibe, sort of like a spiritual awakening as the two lovers in the narrative come to realize perhaps they should try to see things from the other’s perspective. They’re building these unique pop tunes that allow you to just sit and soak in the bathtub of their craft, waiting until your fingers wrinkle so you can get up and press play all over again. Self Aware Records will release the band’s new album, Mental Health, on August 2nd.

Screensaver Share Permanence Video

Leave a comment

Late last year, Melbourne’s Screensaver released Decent Shapes, which we covered quite a bit over here. Now, they’ve just dropped this terrific new single to encourage folks in Europe to prepare for their August invasion. When the song storms in, you’re sort of feeling the band stalk you, kind of bouncing back and forth in each ear with screeching guitar lines and punishing drum work. But, when you get to the 1 minute mark, the chorus begins to offer the true nature of the song, feeding you this post-punk brilliance that reminds you of acts like Wax Idols or Dehd. Just because this tune brims with pop sensibility, the danger is never far away, consistently lurking in the corners, waiting to crash upon you. If you’re in Europe, you better be ready. If not, just crank it up!

Club 8 Release Getting By

Leave a comment

Swedish outfit Club 8 have been dropping some bangers this year, just hitting play on single after single. But, I think “Getting By” might be my favorite of the hits they’ve pushed our way. Thumping percussion and stabbing guitar licks quickly get your body in the mood, setting up this happy discord that swallows your soul until just after the 30 second mark where the whispering vocals enter from stage left to balance out the world. There’s this punctuated moment before the 2 minute mark that builds the wall of noise, but only briefly, as the band clearly prefer their melodic nature to remain the central focus. Crank it up and enjoy another perfect pop piece.

Anders Jornesten Shares On the Outskirts of Town

Leave a comment

Admittedly, I was surprised to hear this new single from Anders Jornesten and realize the songwriter was from Sweden (name aside of course); his sound feels like something you’d find at any number of folk festivals here in the States. For me, the songwriting was solid as it gets, but the vocal inflections that were slight carried the song through my ears. I loved the way the pitch kind of has this hiccup in it when he delivers “on the outskirts of town,” with the word “town” yanking at my heart in its curl. If you’re seeking a striking voice to start your Monday, then press play below.

Ghost Fan Club Shares Love Bug + Drops New EP

Leave a comment

We’ve already teased the release of Ghost Fan Club for a couple of singles, and now we offer you one final reason to invest in the group’s new EP, officially out today! Opening up your ears, you’ll find a lightness to the song’s craft, as it’s a trickling bit of guitar and whispering vocals billowing through your speakers; they add in some textured percussion and a little grooving synth line to flesh things out. Around the 1:50 mark you get a little directional change, bringing in a kind of emphatic little midtrack stomp that wiggles in some variation before settling back into the bread and butter of the band’s craft. Enjoy the single below and adventure into the depths of the EP HERE.

 

I Was a King Share Brand New Single

Leave a comment

It’s Friday, and there’s nothing better than wrapping yourself up in a blanket of melodic pop, such as Norway’s I Was a King offer on their latest single. Frode and Anna Lise are the absolute stars here, with the light jangling and tinkering piano lurking quietly in the background; they’re clearly hanging out in the song, with the piano sparkling in its work, though they, too, are in awe of the majestic powers of the vocal work this go round. A forlorn bit of guitar slides in between the cracks, all of it giving this textured blend of classic power pop that confirms our belief that I Was a King is one of the best power-pop acts around. We’ve been promised there will be more new music from the group as the year goes forward, so more great Friday news!

World Brain Share Open

Leave a comment

Clearly spacing out and drifting into the ocean waters is heavily on my brain at the moment, thus why finding this tune from World Brain was perfect. It felt like this typical ambient piece, which I quite liked as the vibe was right in line with mine. But, then the vocals crept into the picture, and the keys stroked a higher pitch, reminding me of Air in a sense, pulling more jazz and lounge influences into the fold; it’s perfectly fitting for sitting around the pool with a nice chilly beverage in your hand. Enjoy letting this wash over you.

Required Red Sleeping Beauty Listening

Leave a comment

Every day at the beginning of each month, you’re asked (and encouraged) to indulge in the new single from Swedes Red Sleeping Beauty; they continue to crank out a song a month for all you pop aficionados. This one’s all sugar, instantly intoxicating inclined listeners with the vibrant melody that opens into bright harmonizing as the whole team joins in; there’s a brief moment when it almost feels like they’re channeling early New Pornographers with Neko singing…it has that sort of charm to it. It’s brief and shiny, like a new toy that you’ll want to wear out in a matter of days…but rest assured they’ll (and we’ll!) be back to report on it in August!
