Wilder Thing Shares Too Much TV Single

Leave a comment

The waters in Maine seem to be continuously flowing with artistic expression; I’ve stumbled upon a ton of acts from the state over the last few years that have just blown my mind, like Wilder Thing. This project feels like some sort of blasphemous concoction of indie rock influences that would appeal to fans of bands in the vein of Shellac. You’ll get seance style spoken-word met with firing guitar lines that shoot off into the horizon; there feels like there’s some possessive force (the TV?) controlling the narrator, adding this fascinating tension to the build and explosion. I Have My Mother’s Eyes and I’m Not Giving Them Back is out on October 18th via Repeating Cloud.

Best Bets Drop Heaven Video

Leave a comment

The Hollow Husk of Feeling can’t get here soon enough, but with the new Best Bets records still a few weeks away, they’ve offered up one more sneak peek into one of my most anticipated LPs of the Fall. The energy of this tune totally fits where I’m at this afternoon, kicking out some high-octane power-pop while the vocals are being stretched to the max. Again, not sure of the album as a whole, but it feels like they’re touching the highest peaks of the genre, flirting with edges of punk while adhering to a sensible melodic approach you can’t ignore. Make sure you grab a copy from Meritorio Records before the release date on September 27th.

Mt Misery Share Waking Up Single

Leave a comment

There’s not a whole lot better in this world than a cool late Summer breeze blowing through with a new Mt. Misery tune on the winds. After popping back in last month with a new single, they’re at it again, sneaking in a really melodic jangler that opens the door to the Fall season. Something about their craft this go-round feels so light and refreshing, sort of a cleanse of the past months. And, like all great things, this one comes with the news that there’s a new LP just around the corner, offering up promising pop sounds that will wrap up our year.

Adrian Marner Shares Dreamer Single

Leave a comment

Those of you in search of a new singer to break your heart should have your focus on Adrian Marner and his forthcoming Remember Yourself LP. Whenever we get a new single, we run it, as we’re completely fascinated by the striking fragility that brings you within his songwriting. This go round, a light percussive piece adds just a hint of texture and movement, allowing the fragility of Marner’s voice to hang on the highest notes, soaring right to your hearts. Adrian’s one of those songwriters who won’t let you go once he’s got his hooks in you, so keep an eye out for the new LP, out November 1st via Zerowell Records.

Spiral XP Share Sinner Single

Leave a comment

Spiral XP has been on our radar since dropping their It’s Been a While EP, though we might suggest checking in on their split with TV Star too. Alas, all that to say we’re really excited for the forthcoming full-length, I Wish I Was a Rat, with another single dropping to get you on board today. This is a steady crunch rocker, something you’d expect from folks living up in the Pacific Northwest, though they’re certainly taking care to instill some of the noisier elements in their sound. There are elements of this jam that feel like a march, like a step in line up the mountain, rejoicing in walls of screaming guitars when you reach the peak. I Wish I Was a Rat is out on October 18th via Danger Collective.

Pinhead Gunpowder Return with UNT

Leave a comment

The old punk in me is really excited about a new Pinhead Gunpowder album, which just got announced. Surely you’ll recognize the vocals at the front of this mix, and hopefully you appreciate the ethos they’re punching out. They don’t have an agenda and they’ve made plenty of money over the years, so they’re here just to drop fiery pop-punk hits so hard you’ll have no choice but to sing super loud at the top of your lungs. If there’s one thing I know from listening to the band for nearly 3 decades, it’s that you’re going to have a whole lot of fun cranking this one up to 11. They’ll drop UNT on October 18th via 1-2-3-4 Go Records.

Capitol Share Interior Metropol Single

Leave a comment

What a glorious day to open the inbox and see a fresh Capitol tune ready to be shared with the masses. I instantly loved the way this track drove right into the complex realm of noisy pop; you can hear curtains of guitar noise shimmering in the mix, waiting for the thunderous boom of that kick and snare to jump in and add to the textural stamp they’ve crafted. Interestingly, the vocals feel really far back on this number, like they’re hanging behind that curtain, peeking out just to see if we’re paying attention. As the tune progresses, they dive more into the ominous nature, almost allowing the band and the listener to completely lose themselves within the confines of the track itself. They release their new record, Sounds Like a Place on Meritorio this coming November.

Forceghost Ready Recycled Hearts EP + Share New Video

Leave a comment

If you’re an avid fan of textural pop, then perhaps you might spend some time with us, listening to the great new single from Georgia’s Forceghost. They’ve got one EP in the books this year, with Recycled Hearts on its way to your ears this November. One listen through is simply not enough to really indulge in the layered constructs the group are pushing. Synthesized beats and glitches work to build this fuzzy background, punctuated by a sharp drum hit, all the while space age notes spin and bounce throughout. Still, you’ve got a fuzzy bit of guitar crafting the slightest edge that keeps the track from bounding off into absurdity…and all of it’s tethered by these velvety vocal notes built into the musical complex they’ve built around themselves. Risky and rewarding makes for some of the best underground pop. Recycled Hearts is out November 1st via Gift Fig Records.

The Chairman Dances Ready Evening Song

Leave a comment

It’s been over a year since we last heard from Philadelphia popsters, The Chairman Dances, but it seems like this will all be worth the wait, with the group announcing a new record, Evening Song. Our first listen sprinkles in a bit of a light strummed jangle atop a roller-coaster of pop sensibility, rising and falling with the drama of the vocals. While you might file this under your typical folk meets orchestra meets rock, you’ll find a larger sense of exuberance within the confines of the tune; pretty sure there’s a little chuckle on the underbelly of a a vocal note or two, with an added “hey” celebrating the joyousness of band peaking at just the right time. Really looking forward to what’s to come on Evening Song, which hits on October 11th.

Naked Roommate Share FightFlight Video

Leave a comment

As much as I appreciate an obvious dance pop banger, I’ve definitely grown in my appreciation for the other side of the coin, the come-hither dance floor beckoning that seduces bodies to unite in joy…like Naked Roommate‘s latest jam. As your speakers pump the sound through, you can’t deny that there’s a natural groove getting your body wiggling, you’re being called to join in the fun. But, this isn’t an over-the-top jam. Rather it’s that call to get warmed up, move your body and feel the vibes as the horns emphasize the natural rhythm of the tune. You move and squirm, freeing your body and mind of inhibitions as you gear up for the next track. And, is that next track a banger or more playful pop? We’ll have to wait until October 25th when Pass the Loofah drops via Trouble in Mind Records.
