Greg Jamie Shares Beautiful Place

Leave a comment

Felt like this morning’s rock n’ roll coverage was heading in one direction, so I opted to pivot to new music from Greg Jamie (of O’Death). He’s recently announced his new record, and the latest single brings in friend Josephine Foster for a new collaboration. Typically, I’m out here looking for big textures and volume, but the introspective nature of Jamie’s work is the perfect place for escapism. Ambient waves move through the first minute before the light roll of drums begins to open the track into something more complex; those moments move in and out, pulling back for the tender shared vocals between Foster and Jamie to deliver their own magic. Take some time to yourself, and prepare for Across a Violet Pasture, the new LP on Orindal, out October 10th.

Brand New Track from Speed Week

Leave a comment

You can always count on the music scene in Melbourne to offer up something really tasty, as is the case with a brand new track from Speed Week, who’ve just announced a brand new record. When the bass line walks you into the track with its grumbling tones, it sets you up for these sharp knife cuts from the guitar that slice and stab through the lyrical lines; together, the sounds create this frantic nature that seems as harrowing as it is hook-laden. Speaking of the lyrics, they’re hitting at the mundane, and if I’m being honest, they feel very close to all the work Tim Darcy was dropping in Ought, offering a bit of public discourse in an observational manner. Look for their new Weak Speed LP on October 17th via Endless Recordings.

Brutalligators Announce Still Here

Leave a comment

I get a lot of tunes across my desk every day, and some are easy to turn off. But, I couldn’t turn off this Brutalligators single, and in fact, kept coming back to it more than I’d like to admit. Of the handful of singles they’ve made available from their new LP, this one’s perhaps the one that seems most likely to catch the indie and the punk kids all at once. There’s something in the verses that feels both British and not too far off from what the Weakerthans brought to the table on their first LP; it’s all about the set up for the exuberance that smashes through in the chorus, instantly hooking you as it balances out the pop with a slight bit of a growl. Still Here already sounds super rad, and it drops via Fika recordings on November 21st.

Immersion Share Push the Rock

Leave a comment

While the new Immersion album is set for release next week, they’ve treated us with another look under the proverbial hood, and this one lives in two parts of my brain. Musically, there’s this electronic march that pulses, then opens up to this vibrance; it builds tension and feels constantly like its about to erupt into beautiful madness, only to show restraint and remain tempered. But, speaking of madness, well, that’s the state of the world, as the song mentions with the line “a world gone mad.” The duo question what we can all do, staring down the barrel of the gun (sorry for the cliches!) and encouraging us not to run scared like all those folks who left X for BSKY; you’ve got to stay and create, push back, and in this case, “push the rock.” WTF? is out next Friday

Sister Ray Davies Drop Rowans Video

Leave a comment

I’m sure the news was out there in the world, but I completely missed that Sister Ray Davies have finally announced their debut LP; the group have been one of those US acts that’s really been exciting, particularly in their construction. On this tune, they seem to be building on the structures of acts like the Album Leaf or Mogwai, though they’ve opted to incorporate delicate vocal touches to take a post rock structure into places where few have opted to go! Their driving soundscapes are energetic, pulsing at times and restrained at other moments, and this go round, its all beautifully set to this accompany video. Holy Island will be out on November 14th via Sonic Cathedral.

Massage Share No North Star

Leave a comment

Every so often you come across a tune that seems to encompass the world’s status, and nothing seems as indebted to today as the new single from Massage; the press release calls this a “bittersweet anthem for anyone who’s ever felt adrift,” and I can surely second that feeling, as its difficult to grasp reality at present. But, the brightness of the tune certainly cements the group’s infectiousness, pulling in some textured vocal work throughout that adds this brilliant layer of depth to the rush of ringing guitars. In the end, despite the sense of wandering and restlessness, the tune seems to share an aura of hope, a promise for a brighter moment on the horizon. Here’s to hoping for that, and hoping you grab Coaster from Bobo Integral//MtStMtn on October 10th.

The Melody Chamber Announce Debut LP

Leave a comment

Those of you that continue to find yourself charmed by crystalline guitar lines that seem to cascade through your speakers are going to love The Melody Chamber (not to be confused with that other like-minded act). This Richmond outfit have built a sound that holds tight to this huge cinematic presence of great guitar music, while the steadiness allows the group to illustrate their patience in the songwriting. They’ve no need to use gimmicks, instead choosing to rely upon wispy vocals melting into your heart while the rhythm section pushes the focus forward. Little details of twisting guitars and synths coat the backdrop, but you’ll come to find joy in the way they’ve mastered the simplicity of sound; look for their self-titled debut via HHBTM on November 7th.

Shy Boys Return!

Leave a comment

Many of us considered Kansas City’s finest Shy Boys to sort of be done with the music game as we had not heard anything from them in 5+ years. Pleasant surprises are always welcome though, and today’s news of a new single from the lads was sheer delight. And yeah, this new single “Upperclassmen” is an absolute banger of a track, showing a heaviness we’ve never seen before from the band’s output. Hell yeah. We make assumption that more is on the way, but of course we will keep you posted when more news heads our way.

Woods Deliver Double Single

Leave a comment

It’s nearing Fall, or late Summer as we call it here in Austin, and with that, wistful Winter tunes are necessary; there are no finer purveyors than Woods, who are set to head out on the road for a quick little jaunt up the East Coast. To celebrate, the group are offering up a couple of new tracks, both of which you can stream below. They’ve sort entered their peak Grateful Dead, bridging the boundary between classic folk rock and modern indie sounds, all of it built for campfire sing-alongs with your best friends. Their first show on this East Coast tour is Friday night in NYC!

Lucky Share Olden Goldy

Leave a comment

Our interaction with Andrew St. James goes years back, long before we helped put out a release of his on our little label of love! But, he’s kept at it, and as of late he’s focusing on Lucky, a new project with some friends in the Bay Area, offering a bit of a nostalgic bit of classic rock vibes. Their approach reminds one of the warmth of that generation, fusing these huge riffs with hint of Americana, using the vocals to gather folks around and bring the past into the future. Their self titled Lucky album seems to be sliding right into the perfect mixture of San Francisco’s past and present, so if you’re looking for that ride, be on the lookout for the LP, out now via Royal Oakie.
