New Music from The Twirlies

Leave a comment

Those of you with a gentle leaning towards pop are going to fall in love with this single from the Twirlies. It’s a light traipse through the woods, sort of a softened gallop or a casual sail on a breezy afternoon, working with these subtle drum strokes that carefully move us forward. That said, it was the intertwining vocals that caught my ear first, wrapping around one another in this gentle fashion that makes you feel as if nothing else in the world is going on aside from these two voices cohabitating. Their a fairly new Norwegian outfit, so keep an eye out for more, as this is only their second ditty!

Field Hospitals Drop New Pop Hit

Leave a comment

Minneapolis quartet, Field Hospitals first popped up on our radar in May with their Ethel Green EP, but they’ve already returned with another ditty that illustrates their ability to write infectious pop hits. They approach this new number with this earnestness that rides the back of the smattering of drums, pushing the energy from the guitars enough so that the swing allows for dueling notes of brightness combat one another. Those of you who love the early works of Ducks Ltd will love this, and we’ll cross our fingers that they get right back to work on more new tunes!

New Music from People Mover

Leave a comment

Feel like the streets of Australia have been fairly quiet as of late, but we’re happy to report that great pop music is still sailing our way; today it comes at you courtesy of People Mover who just dropped Cane Trash. We’ve got the lead track from the new LP below, delivering a steady guitar pop sound, using crunching riffs to kind of swing into the chorus that changes the vibe momentarily before locking back into the groove. Lu Serigacomi offers up vocals that remind me a lot of Courtney Barnett…sort of disaffected, yet charming in that fashion. This is just one of the gems lurking for you on Cane Trash, so give the whole of the LP a listen!

Club 8 Share Lazy Single

Leave a comment

They waited a few days to drop “Lazy,” but Club 8 have officially unleashed their September track in their monthly pop single series. This one is a rush of furious joy, reminiscent of some of those great Concretes singles from long ago. It jangles and wiggles with an old school rock n’ roll feel, spun around with this melodic core that’s going to heighten the satisfaction of the listeners. But, just as you’re sinking your teeth into the joy of life, the track wraps up and calls it a day. Perks of a mid-month release mean we don’t have to wait as long until the next hit!

Great Lakes Announces Don’t Swim Too Close LP

Leave a comment

It’s been a minute since we’ve heard from Ben Crum and his Great Lakes project, but the announcement of Don’t Swim Too Close is the perfect reason to celebrate today. The record comes after Ben recovered from a severe concussion that left him depressed and questioning life. You can certainly hear that in the lyrical content that lurks here, albeit hanging on a teasing line, but not unlike a Silver Jews record, the messaging seems sort of wrapped up in this near perfect mix of Americana and indie rock. At times, the line of “don’t swim too close to this drowning man” almost seems like a reminder to Crum to steer clear of the dark corners of his thoughts and focus on the good time jams like the one below. Don’t Swim Too Close will be out November 7th via HHBTM.

Bondo Share Tascam C-Sides Remastered

One comment

Los Angeles outfit Bondo just put out their newest release, Tascam C-Sides Remastered, and the opening track alone warrants your ear this morning. They’re offering this sort of downtrodden guitar pop, and the heaviest notes feel like the weight of the world is pressing against your chest. But, then that lighter guitar notes seems to ring out and reach home, in a certain sense, offering what solace it can find by slowly intoxicating us with its striking melodic discord. In a sense, its sort of what I imagine Galaxie 500 might sound like if they were surrounded by all the kids giving it a go out of making pretty noise. Take on the single below then jam to the whole new record!

Villagerrr Share Another Bonus Track

Leave a comment

The benefits of compiling a deluxe edition of a popular record are that you get a chance to try on a few new songs, maybe even a new feeling or two as you look towards your next release. We here get to reap the rewards of the Deluxe Edition of Villagerrr‘s Tear Your Heart Out. On this brand new single, I was all over that guitar line; it could work as a striking ballad, or the opening to something even heavier, and I think the tune plays with both sentiments. Mark Scott’s voice has this folky melancholy to it, but the track takes the quiet and flexes it out with a bit more boisterousness…and for someone who jams a lot of tunes…this is the sort of risk that always pays off. You can grab the Deluxe Edition of the LP on October 10th from Winspear.

Another Creative Writing Track

Leave a comment

If Willie Nelson were a fan of guitar pop music, he’s always have Meritorio Records on his mind, and today, the label is back in my sights with the latest track from Creative Writing. Their newest single is one of the group’s oldest tunes on the forthcoming Baby Did This LP, and it’s one that takes the jangles to a more nostalgic setting, almost working a classic rock sensation into the way the guitars ring out. It perfectly sets up the warmth of the vocal too, which sits just behind the front of the mix, presented as if its a ray of sunshine blessing us with its presence. They even go so far as to turn the last minute or so into a sort of breakaway boogie that would make CSNY a little jealous. Give it a listen and order Baby Did This before its October 3rd release date.

The Cords Release When You Say Goodbye

Leave a comment

While we often comment on the youthfulness of the Cords, it has become more than clear that the duo have no intention of shying away from big pop tracks. I mean, if this track had come out in the 90s, it would have made it onto every single soundtrack or mixtape that came our way. There’s ringing guitars and a left-of-the-dial sentiment, all of it circling like a buzzard high above a horde of pop fans such as ourselves, each one of willing to drop, if only to have these delightful songs play again. Bright pop music might have faded, but songs this good don’t come out every day; you’ll want to grab the self-titled LP on September 26th, courtesy of Slumberland/Skep Wax.

Another Altai Track

Leave a comment

At this point, we’ve almost heard the entirety of the debut LP from Aussie act Altai, but when you hear this new single, you won’t mind getting another peek under the covers. When it opened, I could certainly hear a little throw-back, those punctuated riffs feel very 80s in their sentiment. But, what I love about this track is the way it begins to twist and turn, changing before you even notice its movement. By the time the drama drops in via the synth lines at the 1 minute mark you’ve already given your soul over to the track, and when it sweeps you away, you’re all the better for it. Back and forth and back into beautiful textured pop with a smoky vocal that should have All At Once on your radar; it drops on October 10th.
