Swansea Sound Share Toxic Energy Single

Leave a comment

The Swansea Sound/Heavenly team have apparently arrived on US shores, and with that, they bring a fresh new single primed for morning listening rotation. In this song, the band has pitted Terry Hall (played by Hue) against Elon Musk (played by Amelia); Terry pushes the punk ethos that cranks up the sonic energy, while Elon plays the foil, almost taunting him with this incredible pop structure. They trade musical barbs back and forth, with the song infused by the group’s balance between their love of pop and punk…not to mention their political values, or rather just human values. Plus, the video’s perfect, and no cyber truck was purchased in the making of the video. Even though I begged them to come to Austin, you can only catch them on the West Coast this week; tonight in Olympia!

Waves of Dread Release The Tide

Leave a comment

For the better part of the last few years, Waves of Dread consistently tossed great new noise rock our way, but it’s been a minute, or a year rather, since they dropped new stuff. All that’s out the window with their new EP and lead single “The Tide” now out in the world. Several of the new tunes, like the one below, are fairly short, all things considered, so it’s a little bit of a focused move towards the group’s pop focus, though they still adhere to the noisier elements that got them here. This release indicates that the group are toying with some new vibes, so we’ll keep you posted, as we hope there’s more on the way!

JW Francis Shares Feel It + Drops Sunshine

Leave a comment

You’re possibly browsing the net, looking for something to download and enjoy today, so might I suggest this new JW Francis tune. While some of the tracks on his brand new record, Sunshine, embrace a more pensive fashion, this single’s an absolute joy; it reminds me of a poppier version of the Strokes (or just their last LP as a whole). There’s a stomping nature to the rhythm section, driving the song forward and encouraging the listener to release their inhibitions, riding out with the rhythm and the wind at their back. If you’re enjoying what you hear, crank up the volume, then check out the rest of Sunshine, available today from Born Losers.

Capitol Release Twenty-Eight in Drag

Leave a comment

You’re going to have a hard time not getting swept up in the energetic opening of the new Capitol track; the rhythm section kick things off with some snappy grooves before the tune pulls back to deliver the verses. They bring up a bit of synth wash to set the mood, let the vocals sway within the confines of the ambiance. While they offer a lot of punch in this tune, there’s a middling section where it’s almost all about the emotional feel of the track, filling a breakdown with these shimmering keyboard notes that stay in the picture to add texture to what’s on the surface. The group drop Sounds Like a Place on November 8th via Meritorio Records.

Trauma Ray Share Bardo Single

Leave a comment

This new Trauma Ray record is going to get a lot of play at my house, and this new single sees them reaching back into my own early listening habits as a teenage, bringing back to the present. The track wastes no time in hammering you with noise, hurtling riffs right at you as they lock into a pseudo-metal thrash. Still, there’s something in their craft that reveals little melodic moments, sort of like the light shining under a door in a darkened hallway; it reminds me a lot of when Deftones switched to more melodic notes during White Pony, but were still able to bring the noise. They release Chameleon on October 25th via Dais.

Eliot Eidelman Shares Silhouette Video

Leave a comment

This new Eliot Eidelman song is fantastic; it’s just a generally good song, and saying that, probably doesn’t do the track justice. Maybe I could tell you that Evan from Wand, etc plays and records the tunes, but even then, that’s all hype. So, when I was listening through, and watching the video, I reveled in the performance. The song works with this steady trot, taking a light strum then building it into something that operates with a bit more force and the subtlest backing vocal. All good things, but please dive into the video, embrace the fun. Eliot offers up a silliness that, unfortunately, seems rarer these days; he’s joyous whilst still penning a solid tune, and that’s made my day. Sure, the world’s a hellhole and hurtling downward, and while I spend far more time on that negativity, Eidelman reminded me of the goofball that I hope is all inside of us. And, he did it while offering up a jam you’ll keep coming back to, again and again. This tune is the title track from Silhouette, which drops on January 1st!

Unlettered Share She Is Inside You

Leave a comment

Are we at Friday yet? No, well, if you’re getting a little angsty trying to get over the edge and into the weekend, might I suggest digging into this track from Unlettered. While there’s this forceful growl working in the foreground, you get to hear disorienting riffs bend and break in the far off distance, twisting the song around the mantra-like vocal delivery. Just as your ears adjust, the tune speeds up before the 3 minute mark, switching directions, with a more prominent bit of attitude driving the track to its dark, distorted close. This song appears on the group’s new album, Five Mile Point, out on November 22nd.

Henrik Appel Offers Nothing to Lose

Leave a comment

Already being a fan of Henrik Appel won’t set you up for his powerful new ballad; it’s something wholly enchanting, of the sort that you let close down your night. There’s also this sense of grandeur in the craft, using a huge piano track and Appel’s cooled delivery to create this intimate bravado. At times, it feels like a B-side on a Rolling Stones record, easily slipping into a more subtle format that highlights the elegant craft Henrik’s pulled off this go round. Really looking forward to spending a few hours with Shadows; the record drops on November 1st via PNKSLM.

Tunng Announce Love You All Over Again

Leave a comment

When I look over my various musical tastes, I generally don’t consider folktronica to be something that really brings me in…that is unless we’re talking about Tuung. To me, the UK outfit, sounds like a version of Architecture in Helsinki that you might listen to at a Renaissance Faire. They love overlapping melodies, combining and pulling apart from one another to build a bit of contrast, using the electronic elements to texturize the track and even add just a little playfulness to the entirety. Honestly, if I were to film a tale of fairies in a futuristic setting, I sure as hell hope this lot would do the score; it’s whimsical and sophisticated, and I’m penciling in Love You All Over Again for a release to keep an eye on when it drops in January of next year!

Dustin James Shares Paper Star

Leave a comment

As we draw nearer the Winter season, we’re all likely looking for music to hibernate to, music you can wrap around you and find warmth and solace. Today, that music has come early, by way of Dustin James; he’s released the first single and title track from the forthcoming Paper Star LP. There are overlapping guitar lines, one sort of like a journeying leaf, floating through the stream of strumming that holds the track together; they intermingle, dancing and swirling together atop a quieted beat. James’ vocals, too, feel like a rolling seasonal change, hanging on the edge of the cold, beckoning to come inside and sit by the fire. Paper Star drops on October 22nd.
