Jim Nothing Share Wildflowers

Leave a comment

While a great deal of Jim Nothing‘s remarkable catalog has felt more introspective, almost like private listening parties for fans of ornate guitar pop. That said, this new single is just a blaster; it sounds huge and anthemic from the get-go, so be sure you crank this one all the way to 11. The guitar set up is huge, almost entering in like some late 70s arena rock, though the band manage to stay close to home with the vocal delivery, pulling strings that send the melody soaring in this wistful manner that circles back to the song’s reflection on past and present memories that make you smile. The new Grey Eyes Grey Lynn LP is out on Meritorio Records on October 18th.

Wussy Announce Cincinnatti Ohio

Leave a comment

If you were near the Internet yesterday, I hope you heard that Wussy are back, after a six year gap and the passing of guitarist John Erhardt. His role in that band built in a texture that made the group almost a rare gem in the scene, but perhaps that’s where the band picks up on their latest single, reflecting on the way John and others have impacted us, even when they’re not on the other end of the telephone. Musically, there’s a rollicking rock nature here, something that has this natural drive and punch to it, albeit with a quieted ambient wall behind, allowing the emotion to crest amidst heavy textural builds. Really looking forward to hearing how far they push themselves; Cincinnati Ohio is out November 15th via Shake It Records.

Porridge Radio Release A Hole in the Ground Single

Leave a comment

Something about Porridge Radio just reeks of emotion, making their work some of the most moving from the indie rock scene at the moment. When this song jumps right into the fray, it was the lonesome string work behind, bellowing behind Dana’s voice, adding to the delicate nature wherein everything feels like it could crumble before your ears. In a sense, it reminds me of early Wolf Parade, when everything felt dramatic and in the way choruses would crush you, though there’s more sincerity here, perhaps as you feel the emotion seeping out of Margolin before you. Clouds in the Sky They Will Always Be There For Me drops on October 18th via Secretly Canadian.

Henrik Appel Shares New Single

Leave a comment

Having followed Henrik Appel for some time, it’s really interesting listening to his musical transformation over the years; he’s moved from garage rock purveyor to an admirable elevator of pop rock. Now, I can’t quite vouch for the lyrical work here, but there’s certainly something in the overall feel that resonates here at my house, something that maybe recalls Lou Reed working on his own, like going for your own walk on the wild side. I love the little jazz inflections that feed into the natural ebbs and flows, giving this song a depth that goes beyond mere indie rock kitsch. Looking forward to Shadows, out November 1st via PNKSLM.

Merce Lemon Shares Crow Single

Leave a comment

If you ever just wanted to be emotionally crushed by a song, then you’re going to need to listen to the latest single from Merce Lemon; there’s this huge wall of frailty that seems to hang on every note from Merce’s mouth. Each syllable seems as if it could crumble to dust and be carried off into the wind, though they’re constantly tethered to the electrifying guitar solos that course throughout the tune. Eventually it all gets rolled into one giant ball of cacophony and beauty, swirling together like some magical cocktail that’s best drunk next to your love in a secret crypt, both of you being crushed by the sheer majesty of this single. Watch Me Drive Them Dogs Wild is out on Darling Records on September 27th.

Cactus Lee Shares Sister Video

Leave a comment

Cactus Lee may not be a household name yet, but after a fairly prolific couple of years, it looks like everyone’s starting to take notice. He’s got a slew of dates on the horizon from AmericanaFest, Flying Island Festival and Tomorrow Never Knows, all big indicators of the draw of his magical brand of country. And, since its been a minute, perhaps this brand new single is a hint that there might be more coming our very way just around the corner. I love how the track, and its Super 8 film footage, certainly feels like a dusty Summer day in Texas, yet you can hear the soulfulness in the voice, something that beckons you sing together with a bunch of your best buds. Please keep your eyes on the prize, that is, Cactus Lee.

Healees Share White Room + Announce Coin de l’oeil

Leave a comment

When a bunch of powerhouse labels get together to co-release something, you can pretty much count on us being into it. Hidden Bay Records, Safe Suburban Home and Indie or Die jointly announced Coin de l’oeil, the newest album from Parisian outfit Healees. Our first single has the track blanketing the listener in warmth, with crisp guitar notes churning over one another as they continuously leave space for soaring vocals to work in the negative space. Those vocals carry an earnestness that takes a dream pop ethos and moves it into something a bit more powerful, which definitely has my ears perked up and ready to go when the record drops in October.

The Submissives Deliver New Single

Leave a comment

As we go through the Monday listening routine, we get to visit a bunch of jams we just missed out on, like the first single from the new LP from The Submissives. At times, you feel like you’re listening to a classic doo-wop pop piece, but there’s something about the guitar lines that feels inherently ominous. It’s almost as if they’re using that tension to set up the big hook from the chorus, offering cooled vocal work that can pull anyone into their style on first listen. They fray the edges with little bits of horns and strings, layering the tension that certainly matches the fit for this video. Live at the Sound Studios will be out this Fall via Celluloid Lunch.

Night Court Drop Mistakes Become You

Leave a comment

One thing that gets me going on a Monday is a huge hook and a whole lot of flare, just like the newest single from Vancouver’s Night Court. They don’t have a lot of time here, so they just right into the fray, banging out those angular punk riffs and snapping hits on the drum; they smash it down perfectly when they hit the chorus, emphatically entering a classic breakdown, albeit one with that has to work frantically so they can get right back at banging away at the hooks. Those vocals too, singing in unison, just bring out so much incredible energy, it’s going to be hard not to find yourself enjoying what’s in store. Shit Machine will be out on November 1st via Recess Records.

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.
