Dag Och Natt Release Iron Man

Leave a comment

Two things you can always be assured of: Stockholm has a great pop scene and Labrador Records loves to help get it out into the world. Dag Och Natt is a new band, though the members have been orbiting around one another for decades, most notably as Lane; they have a debut EP on the horizon this year, with this special drifter ready for your ear. There’s a beautiful loneliness that bends in instantly, two guitars overlapping one another as they create this soundscape that feels like a vast darkness, or maybe as the case of the song, a vast bit of calm or nothing. The tune begs us all to “slow down” again and again, a reminder that we should all take a breath and absorb the musical world around us. Give it a go.

Whisper Share Cross Country

Leave a comment

The Austin music scene has ebbs and flows, with the most recent band to explode being our pals in Blushing. But, Whisper is a relatively new act to keep your ears upon, offering up a more modern take on the genre. They’ve painted the backdrop of their music with heavy washes of distortion and ambiance, using a lighter lead guitar to jangle and twist in the front, as if it’s operating on its own accord. Colton Eason’s vocals embrace the mellower intersection of where emo-ish sounds have come in, bringing in a hint of a “whisper,” if you will. It’s a rad little number, and one we hope you’ll give a chance as we await fresh hits from the group.

Pleased to Meet You: Twirlies

Leave a comment

There’s a lot of great pop music coming out of Norway this year (High Water Marks!), but I hadn’t heard of Twirlies before, but am glad to have stumbled upon their sound this Friday morning. While they call Norway home, you can certainly seem them fitting into a number of various pop scenes around the indie sphere, mostly Glasgow and Athens (Georgia). They employ this marvelous sense of melody, almost pulling at nostalgia as they try to bring it into the present with overlapping vocal harmonies and clarity in production. A new group dropping some bright pop music? Thanks Cafe Superstar for sending this our way!

Fetching Pails Share Ruiner Video

Leave a comment

I felt like the best way to begin the coverage of today was to take off with a patient tune, as I’ll need that wrapping up the end of the school year over here. In that, the latest track from Nashville’s Fetching Pails works perfectly, as it almost drifts upon a synthetic note and accompanying vocals for nearly a minute. Admittedly, it’s a bit of a slow crawl, but the reward comes when the drums begin to snap into the picture accompanying Jill Townsend’s voice, leading the listener on this ethereal adventure, fluttering up and down with her vocals while careful beats bubble and fade beneath the surface. And, the final explosion near the tune’s end will be your treat for your patience. This tune comes courtesy of yk Records.

Brood22 Share New Single

Leave a comment

While I cannot seem to find a ton of information about new Portland project, Brood22, I can assure you that dipping into the slowed magic of their sound will be worth your time today. There’s an inherent loneliness in the guitar tones, which I find absolutely magical, with slight little bends in the strings that let the notes shoot off into the night sky. That slow approach perfectly fits the vibe of the vocals, embracing the weariness of the pace and in a sense, just existing, as best they can. It’ a tough sound to describe, but fans of slow burns will surely appreciate what’s in store below.

Fresh Winter Tune + New Album

Leave a comment

I had no idea how big Winter had gotten until I clicked on the link to their new video, and lo and behold, it’s blowing up. That’s not why we’re here though, as we’ve been fans of the act for quite some time. Well, Samira is knocking it out of the park, so the love of this tune’s quite deserved; it’s got a little intro here that opens up just after the 1 minute mark, if you’re looking to skip right to the sugar. I am a huge fan of the way she walks this tightrope in her songwriting, almost jangle pop, though equal parts kind of alt-rock, ready to erupt at any moment. Pair that with the sugary style of the vocals, and well, you can see why she’s blowing up. Her new album, Adult Romantix, is out in August via her new home, Winspear.

They Are Gutting a Body of Water Share American Food

Leave a comment

As a comfort eater myself, the thematic element in the new track from They Are Gutting a Body of Water is something I can relate to, as we all seek comfort and vice in our own ways. But, I also turn to music, which is where the band continue to branch into territories that push expectations and classification beyond their peers. Their guitar lines this go round are pretty simple, kind of bringing the rhythm out as this twanging piece that gets to hang in the air with all the other indie rock acts. But, behind there’s another faint guitar line, not to mention loads of sampled and digitalization in the studio that shows them fucking around completely with our modern formula. It’s brilliant to see them employing everything and not sounding at all like they’re just phoning it in! This track also comes with the announcement of their signing to ATO Records/Smoking Room/Julia’s War.

Wombo Announce Danger in Fives

Leave a comment

This is the news that I did not even know I needed, but my day just got better with news that Wombo have a new LP on the horizon. Their Fairy Rust LP stayed on for quite some time at my house, and this new track sees them furthering their song craft. Every note on this track seems perfectly placed, with the group employing negative space to let rhythmic notes give accent to the guitars. Sydney Chadwick’s voice is this mesmerizing power, drifting dynamically in and out of the tune, curling around ringing guitar notes like a beautiful haunt. Danger in Fives will be out August 8th via Fire Talk.

Pachyman Shares SJU Single

Leave a comment

Pachyman is going home, or at least he’s making an homage to Puerto Rico, thus the song’s reference to the San Juan Airport. I’m really looking forward to Another Place, his latest record, as it seems like he blends the sound into something really special each time a release comes our way. This little dub track takes a bit of guitar and stretches it into a vibe that just feels like the hippest strut you’ve ever seen, but at the same time, there’s this indifferent cool that lets you know the world is going to be alright. If you’re willing to take a trip into the cool waters of Pachyman, grab Another Place from ATO Records on Friday!

Fortitude Valley Release Sunshine State Video

Leave a comment

Our pal over at Specialist Subject Records have already gotten a lot of ATH love this year, with new stuff from Don’t Worry and Soot Sprite…and now we have more reason to rejoice as they’ve scheduled a new LP for Fortitude Valley at the end of the Summer! It doesn’t take long for the group to embrace the carefree pop rock of similar acts like the Beths, bringing out these huge walls of riffs that get tightened around a really sweet melody. Songwriter Laura Kovic is using the song as a way to reach back and talk to her teenage self, perhaps circling back to reimagine who she is or was. There is no shortage of hooks in this track, and one can assume that Part of the Problem, Baby, will be just as such.
