Emma Russack Shares About the Girl Title Track

When we first encountered Melbourne’s Emma Russack, she was doing collaboration work with Lachlan Denton (Ocean Party/Pop Filter), but then dropped an excellent collection of soft strummers on Winter Blues. But, as she prepares to release About the Girl, perhaps there’s a little bit more of an electronic underbelly on this tune, perhaps providing Emma with the freedom to craft her own visions entirely unencumbered by bandmates or collaborators. There’s something in the synth work that feels very Broadcast adjacent, though the way the strum is built atop that fuzzy beat allows Russack to stay true to her origin story while pushing herself musically forward. Another reason you should pencil in About the Girl as a record to pick up; it drops via Dinosaur City on August 23rd.

Robber Robber Release Dial Tone

Robber Robber rules. They’re sound is aggressive and yet just melodic enough to offer up a hook that will keep you coming back for more. In the latest musical excursion from the band, they’re pitching the listener back and forth, rocking you with angular cuts then rolling you back with the coy vocal delivery from Nina Cates. While each roll of the dice hints at post-punk undertones, their ability to roll that into a full-on barrage of noise rock makes them incredibly dangerous, musically speaking. Packing both bravado and creativity, you’re not going to be able to turn away from this fresh single; it features on their new Wild Guess LP, out July 26th.

Blood Share TV for a Reason Single

One of the great things about listening to a single by a band you’re familiar with is envisioning their sound filling out your local club; you can hear the live energy coursing through this new single from former ATX band Blood. Walls of noise smash through the speakers, almost immediately meeting up with singer Tim O’Brien’s voice to soften the blow. Tim’s range is really showing through on the group’s latest batch of singles, illustrating how much he’s come into his own; I love the way the tune slows to offer a bit of a whisper near the 1 minute mark. And for all their bombast, they incredibly build at the song’s end, only to hold onto the climactic release you’re likely seeking. Their new LP, Loving You Backwards is slated for a release on August 2nd via Ramp Local.

Eazyhead Share Feel Alright Video

Was momentarily at risk of going full on indiepop mode today, so wanted to mix up your morning by offering this brilliant bit of psychedelia from Filipino outfit Eazyhead. They’re offering up that sort of Brian Jonestown meets Spiritualized vibe, letting the song sort of billow in a circular nature, almost as if they’re crafting some sort of hazy seance that’s got you under it’s spell. In the latter half you’ve got this dynamic solo that cuts its way through the smog, but in that, there’s also an understated pop sensation that begins to filter through the noise, leaving you with this bright charm to close it out with a nice strum. The band are releasing Personal Echo Chamber via Dedstrange on August 23rd.

The Ekphrastics Share Make Your Own Snowboard

If music runs through your veins, you can’t stay away for long…which is why the old ghost called to Frank Boscoe (Vehicle Flips); he picked up and then began anew with The Ekphrastics…and now they’ve got a new LP coming your way. Our first listen to the title track, almost seems like it’s the missing link between indiepop and modern americana sounds. I was drawn towards the rolling chug of those guitar lines, wrapping themselves around each little melodic vocal line. The narrative nature is a grand life lesson too, offering up themes of doing your very best, despite expected outcomes. Honestly, you’ll find a great bit of familiarity luring throughout, and if you keep turning over musical stones, you’ll just reveal more of those special moments hidden beneath the surface. The band release Make Your Own Snowboard on August 16th via Harriet Records.

Fast Execution Announces Menses Music

This seems like the Summer of Dandy Boy Records, having already dropped new music from Yea-Ming and Kelley Stoltz, they now move forward with a new release from Fast Execution. The return of fuzzy rock continues, but singer Alex Velasquez would love for it to be less of a boy’s club, so she’s trimmed it of its fat and offers up this melodic brand that’s short and to the point. Drums hang in the background adding a little bulk to the tune, though the energetic rush of hooks need little else to get stuck inside your head. Menses Music will be released on August 8th!

Dutch Interior Sign with Fat Possum

Dutch Interior is a new-to-me act, and I’m definitely interested to hear where there music will go now that they’ve signed with Fat Possum and dropped a new single to a larger audience. Initially, the atmospheric build of the song was what took me; it’s got the perfect balance of escapism meets hurtling noise. When the vocals enter, they operate in this mundane manner, sort of settling the track or even just letting the listener breathe before the song unfurls into this bounding bit of post rock glory. You can crank it up, and honestly, you might not even need the lyrics, as the movement and power are that moving…so be on the lookout for. more from this LA act. Also…shout out to Joan Miro.

Crack Cloud Share the Medium

It’s early on Tuesday, and I definitely needed something to get me out of bed. The familiarity of Crack Cloud‘s latest single was definitely something that grabbed my interest, pulling the sheets off and reaching for my laptop. At first, it feels a bit like a young act mocking the Sex Pistols, but when you get in deeper you’ll hear a bit more polish, almost like they’ve repackaged the sound to bring bigger hooks. They reveal this further when they strip it all back in the middle, feeding a dreamy pop vocal performance right in the middle of the angst…and like the video’s balloon suggest…the song ends up being all pop, but in a refreshing manner. They release Red Mile on July 26th via Jagjaguwar.

7ebra Shares Daybreak

Not too long ago, 7ebra returned with the masterfully infectious “Normal Song,” their first new music since releasing Bird Hour; it had this incredible missing link between modern pop and Broadcast. Today, we get the other track from that 7″, with this newer track offering up a brew of slow-burning organ notes and drifting vocal melodies. It’s clear that the two have continued building their vocal interplay, which shines on this one, letting guitar notes wrap around each little note, with a faint heartbeat working as the main beat. You’ll get to hear this song on repeat if you grab a copy of the new Normal Song/Daybreak 7″, out July 5th via PNKSLM.

Pocket Full of Crumbs Share In My Home

While I’d love to pigeonhole the entire scene from San Francisco, you clearly can’t define a town by its largest exports, as shows by Pocket Full of Crumbs. Rather than offer up the dreamy nature that’s been a scene highlight, they’re bringing in something that feels a bit more menacing, running with these growling guitars that are reminiscent of the earliest Sonic Youth or Dinosaur Jr LPs. I suppose if you listen to the set up, there’s still an abstract dreaminess that runs through, guided by the velvety vocal notes that run right through. This track appears on In My Hand I Hold a Lucky Cricket, out July 16th via Cherub Dream Records.
