Dress Warm Release Divine Single

Leave a comment

First things first, the single is titled “Divine,” though I’ll admit that the performance is also similarly divine, in its own manner. We’ve covered Dress Warm for some time, trying to get the Austin bunch on your radar, and now that they’ve got a debut planned, we’ve got the album’s first single to share with you. Brandon Price seems to be the main player in the track’s first half, letting the gentleness of his voice work atop the light strums of guitar work; it’s a living room performance, the sort that brings you in with its natural intimacy. They work the song into a lather, letting it build up with this stomping tension before washing it clean by letting the full band sound sweep in and layer the track in emphatic texture. Their debut album, If I Could I’d Take You There is out on August 22nd.

Groceries Release Angel Numbers

Leave a comment

Groceries are barely a year old, and here they are ready to release one of the year’s more exciting releases. When listening through their latest single from Human Extinctions, there’s this earnestness in their performance, but also this innocence. They take a an amalgam of influences and throw it on the wall with abandon, seeing what sticks. There’s a melody here, a soaring vocal there, snapping stick work and this overwhelming sense of exuberance, all of it compiled to create this energy that’s clearly meant to remind us of music’s joy. They’re releasing their debut album Human Extinctions this Friday!

Wombo Shares Spyhopping Single

Leave a comment

Every twist and turn on this new single from Wombo seems intentionally set, like the band are purposefully sonically shapeshifting, lulling us into the secretive realms of their sound. At times, struck notes can ring discordantly, but they don’t put you off, only pique your interest as the bass works you back into the rhythm of the track. It goes this way, then that way, letting Sydney Chadwick weave her way through the well-crafted skeletal backbone of this jam. Danger in Fives is out on August 8th via Fire Talk.

Winter Shares Without You

Leave a comment

Admittedly, you’re probably sincerely tired of hearing bedroom pop this and bedroom pop that, but if there’s one record on the horizon that I think will be perfect for those nights alone with the record on, it’s this new Winter. If you listen to the way it’s set up on the latest single, it’s got a very light stroke, with Samira’s voice drenching the track in this heavy melody that consistently encompasses my brain’s interpretation of ethereal. Every little bit of the mix just works perfectly, and each time I press play, I don’t want to take my headphones out for fear that the magic will disappear. I bet you’re going to feel the same, so be sure to order Adult Romantix via Winspear before its August 22nd release date.

New TAGABOW Album On Its Way

Leave a comment

If you have yet to be caught up in the hype surrounding They Are Gutting a Body of Water, you’ll be pleased to know that this is one of the rarer instances where the hype is fitting. They greet you with a trickle of guitar, then they break the door down with a wall of feedback and distortion, quietly sneaking vocals in behind the barrage of melodic noise. Once the tune opens, the guitars dance carefully, almost as if they’re careful of stepping on the vocal portion of the tune; the group gets to hang hear before riding another crest of noise to the close. Their new LP, Lotto, will be out on October 17th.

Fortitude Valley Share Oceans Apart

Leave a comment

A surefire way to catch my ear is by making a slight nod to the Go-Betweens, and that’s exactly what Fortitude Valley have done with their latest single, “Oceans Apart.” It’s the third and final single from their forthcoming record, and it’s a solid pop rock ripper, the sort that we love to just push to the top. There’s nothing fancy, save for some of the guitar soloing, but it’s got a classic driving rhythm and the vocals are the perfect fit, never rushing the song. Simple, sweet and with a sprinkle of an edge…all the things that are going to put you in love with Part of the Problem, dropping August 1st via Specialist Subject Records.

Sunny Garage Rock from Acapulco Lips

Leave a comment

The humidity down here is something else right now, as we have been living in a mixture of heat and rain, so this new track from Acapulco Lips feels like the best way weather accompaniment. This new jam kicks off with a wiggling bit of psychedelia, but once that wriggle shakes out, the tune moves into a pop garage rock vibe. Maria-Elena’s voice takes this nostalgic tilt, hitting on some of the classic doo-wop notes, aligning the twists and turns with a little bit more pop than some might expect. They balance it perfectly too, twisting between the psychedelic dens and the party-going beach, but you’ll have to keep an eye out for Now in order to hear which voice wins out; it drops on Friday.

The Living Pins Drop Gold Video

Leave a comment

I love a band that offers no bullshit. They get up on the stage, turn up the amps and just rock it out, much like you get when you catch the Living Pins. Their recorded music is much the same, as you’ll hear in their latest single. The band notes that the tune takes its roots in a bit of classic rock sound, but as the vocals hit with those stuttering riffs, there was something that felt like a rocking version of Alanis Morissette, which I actually think is really cool. The rhythm section holds the swagger, letting the edges kind of get fuzzy with psychedelic tinges and feedback while the rest of the group just give you straightforward rock. Give a listen, won’t you.

Day Friend Drop Blackout Single

Leave a comment

Over the last year or so we’ve been hyping up Austin act Day Friend; they played our SXSW show with SOTO, then dropped the rad “Brainworm” single. Today, there’s a fresh tune that I’m particularly excited about; it’s got a bit more of a pensive post-punk nature, taking time to stretch out the guitar sound a bit. But, don’t think they’ve gone soft as the cymbals and drums still smash through the mix, and you can hear this slight little growl on the vocals. But, if you stick around, you get to hear a little plot twist, which is one of the many reasons I love the group, as they take on more of an explorative psychedelic beat blasting off towards the track’s close. Be sure you jam this one.

Michael Beach Releases I’m Gonna Need Ya Video

Leave a comment

I will admit that when news broke of a fresh Michael Beach record, I wasn’t sure where he would be going with his new sound. I knew I’d like it no matter where he went, musically speaking, but man, his troubadour performance on this number is pretty special. Of course, being a man about Australia, he’s gathered some really special artists to bulk up his sound, as you can hear in every little detail filling out the space throughout this new tune. There’s a little bit of blues in there, but also kind of a hint of solitary songwriter, like a Cohen. While the sobering theme and sound are omnipresent, the song gets a lift and a rattle around the 3 minute mark, where Beach reminds folks that “I’m gonna need ya!” Big Black Plume is out July 25th via Goner/Poison City Records.
