Porridge Radio Return with Sick of the Blues

Leave a comment

Porridge Radio is one of those bands I really enjoy, but admittedly take for granted. They seem to slip in between the cracks of the 100+ emails I get daily, though I love this new march they’ve just dropped. Secretly Canadian just announced they’ll be releasing Clouds In the Sky They Will Always Be There for Me today, with this steady stomp opening the album’s cycle. The refrain “I’m sick of the blues” is the sort of meditative statement that keeps returning throughout the lyrics, detailing a new self-confidence. Everything musically seems to be lifting the song like some indie rock cheer pyramid, eventually erupting when the song hits near the end, embracing a full-throttle rock n’ roll burst that takes the song to new heights. The new LP drops on October 18th.

Share Bring Out Another Single

Leave a comment

It’s Monday, and you need vibes, and this new Share single definitely has a solid vibe groove to lift you into the rest of the week. While the backbone of the song is this meandering little folk stream, the vocals that come in the verse hang with just a bit of a rough edge, scratching at the edges of the day and dragging us out our doldrums. When that chorus hits, it gets contrasted, as the guitar lines bend waywardly and the melodic nature of the vocals just pop a little ray of sunshine into your bedroom…and the second chorus gets a nice fuzzy boost to help the song cruise into a slightly heavier territory that surely gets under your skin. Share will released Have One on August 9th via Forged Artifacts.

Queen Serene Share Glowing Single

Leave a comment

This new track from Queen Serene just recently dropped, and seeing as I caught the band last night for the single release, wanted to be sure to give it some love on the site. What I love is that the raw energy of the tune translates well to the recorded version, as part of the tune feels like a fiery rock piece and the other half is this motorik psychedelia that courses along the Autobahn, and when they stop to let you breathe, the growling guitars bite at your ears, shredding your speakers as the tune pounds to an emphatic close.

Sleeper’s Bell Share Road Song

Leave a comment

Amidst a lot of the pop and rock coverage I’ve got going on today, I wanted to lighten it up with this really delicious tune from folk-ish outfit, Sleeper’s Bell. This recording represents a full band presentation of the Chicago outfit, the primary vessel for the songwriting of Blaine Teppema and Evan Green. You can hear the intricate playing style in the mix, but the accents lift this beyond a mere fireside strum. The percussion taps playfully, snapping the song to life, which goes further when the buzz of the saxophone builds an added textural layer that thickens the plot throughout. Plus, you can’t go wrong when you’re lifting a line from Townes (“Being born is going blind”), can you? Check it out courtesy of Angel Tapes.

Public Health Share Pain Girl

Leave a comment

There’s so many great tunes coming out left and right today, that you’re best served if you dive into this one right now. For some reason, this feels like something that would have come around during the heyday of Grandaddy or the Glands. That said, there’s this underlying element of noisiness that pervades, giving the song more of current status, bridging saccharine indie rock vibes with more modern flourishes that elevate the tune beyond mere nods to the past. You’ll find that you won’t be able to escape the innate sunshine built right into this song. If you’re loving it, be sure to keep an eye on Public Health going forward.

Casual Technicians Announce Deeply Unworthy

Leave a comment

If you’re coming to our site, you generally jam a certain style of music, and with that, we want to make sure you’ve got Casual Technicians on your radar. They only released their debut LP a few months ago, and they’re already pushing forward with a fresh batch of tunes for us. When diving into this sea, you’ll be greeted by a nice little bob atop the waters, offering up a nice vibe, though nothing strikingly new. But, at the 25 second mark there’s a plot twist, offering up a different vocal that seems more earnest, and slightly Aussie influenced. They switch it up back and forth, always employing a snapping beat that kicks your feet up, and still pandering to those of us who think of Flying Nun as the Holy Grail. Deeply Unworthy is out November 1st via Repeating Cloud.

Sumos Share Hunting Tracks

Leave a comment

After teasing us all week with hints of new music, Sumos did drop their darling new ditty, doing what they do best by executing perfect pop tunes. Everything functions on the steady strum and beat, almost operating as the musical metronome for your toes to keep the beat. And, once you’ve matched your internal rhythm, you can rest while the vocals offer up one of the brightest pop performances you’re going to get into today. When you hear the utterance of “one of these days,” you’ll hear the soaring of angels, rising to the highest stretched note, albeit with a charming sharpness that perfects the tune. Can’t wait to hear a new record from this lot.

Blood Share Holy Family Single

Leave a comment

When press first came out concerning the new Blood album, it promised to have Tim O’Brien really stretching himself, vocally. There was a little bit on the earlier singles, but “Holy Family” has this dark majesty that fulfills all the promise of Tim exploring his voice. At the beginning, it’s quite fragile, almost beautifully pained, tip-toeing around a light strum and bending nuanced notes. Pronounced percussion comes to rescue, punching through the mix momentarily, but it only seems to make O’Brien withdraw further, hiding behind the textured density the group have built up here. Of all the power the the band possess, they seem to kind of control that chaos, making magic in the process. Loving You Backwards is out next Friday via Ramp Local.

Feeling Figures Drop Doors Wide Open

Leave a comment

After last year’s Migration Magic, you can say that expectations are extremely high over at the ATH offices for this forthcoming LP from Feeling Figures. This new single definitely ramps up the energy, delivering an exciting bit of ramshackle pop, packed with as much as one band can cram into 1:43. Kay’s vocals just rip through the song, working with a bit of sharp playfulness, which delivers a bounce that snaps in step with joyous rhythmic push. Then as the song feels settled they cut right through with this little soloing guitar wiggle that just crushes your soul and makes you sink right into the glory of this pop number. Everything Around You is out on September 27th via K Records/Perennial Death.

Hallo Return with Worth It All

Leave a comment

Starting off our morning slowly today, crawling out of bed to find this delightful new track from Austin’s Hallo. The group are finishing up the final touches on their debut album, and deliver this powerhouse of a tune, drawn to the fire of Tiana Stuart’s powerful voice. Those vocals operate between a Texas twang and a more angelic push, while the band behind her forcefully punches down; I love the burning guitar distortion that fills the chorus moments. It sets up for a great breakdown in the track’s latter half, dropping hints at the fiery indie rock they’ll bring to the table when they wrap up that debut!
