Don’t Worry Drop Unbelievable

Leave a comment

When you listen to Don’t Worry, you’ll realize that sometimes great songs supersede genres and hype, letting you settle down and just enjoy a really great time. Their latest single has some nods to modern indie, with some UK pop punk attitude thrown in for good measure, but ultimately listening through it just made me feel really fucking good. When that line of “it won’t take long/keep on writing songs” hit, it just made me remember how much human strength and determination can help us overcome obstacles and reach our goals. Grateful for musical moments like those, and songs like this; look for their new record Idealism on July 18th via Specialist Subject Records.

 

Another Track from Sugar for the Pill

Leave a comment

Mondays can typically be slow around the music realm, but not when there’s a track from our current fave Grecian dream poppers, Sugar for the Pill, who offer what might be one of their best jams. Much like the song title, this track seems to revel in its stasis, opening up for the vocals and blossoming for a once in a lifetime experience where it all comes together. The voice stretches for new heights, letting the guitars shower the listener in these waves of striking post-punk glory. And, as they’re wont to do, they even share a moment of respite, just for you to catch your breath before diving headfirst back into the tune. Their Luv LP will be out shortly, so keep your eyes peeled.

Grey Causeway Prep Debut Album

One comment

If you hang around a scene long enough, you’re bound to pick up some friends along the way, which is perhaps how Oakland’s Grey Causeway came to be; they’re a new band, but with veterans from acts like the Peechees, Smokers, Papercuts and more. On the opening track from their debut LP, they kick things off with these angular guitars that are reminiscent of post-punk forefathers. What I love about this tune is how they vocals employ a softer melody, working in contrast to those angular cuts, reminding me a lot of DC’s Dot Dash; it feels like if you grew up loving punk records, but couldn’t escape a pop infatuation. Just another home run for Dandy Boy Records, who drop the self-titled LP on May 25th.

Check Out Wild Blessing

Leave a comment

This tune below has been about for a week, but I’ll be honest here, admitting it took me a week or so to kind of sink into the creaminess of Wild Blessing. As you’ll notice, nods to acts like Sea and Cake aren’t too far off, with a little jazzy sway working in and out of the tune, giving it this subtle bit of hipness that carefully trickles through the speakers. If it were instrumental, it probably wouldn’t work, but they offer up a little whispering vocal (with some backing notes) that slides right alongside the gentleness of the tune itself. A meandering bit of guitar pops up mid-tune to offer a bit more texture too, perfecting the sound. They’ll release From Dust on June 5th.

Snake Lips Announce Cat Beach

Leave a comment

Felt like the opening jittery jangles of this new Snake Lips tune was the perfect way to kick off your Friday morning. They race right in, angular guitars whipping us into a frenzy whilst a smattering of drums shake up the scene behind the vocals. In terms of those vocal blasts, they get a little bit of call-and-response emphasis throughout the tune, creating a little bit of a pop sensibility from within the confines of an energetic little ripper. That pop moment only get further pumped up when they drop little “bops” as the track bangs to a close. Their new record Cat Beach will be out on July 25th via Repeating Cloud.

Labrador Share My Version of Desire Title Track

Leave a comment

Today appears to be a day for title tracks coming out, so stay tuned for another just around the corner. But, at the moment, let’s enjoy this great new Labrador belter. It’s a sway-with-a-partner bit of balladry, with Pat King’s vocals dominating the mix while a light strum on the old gee-tar builds the backdrop. While the opening feels a little light, they slowly build in some rhythmic elements, first with a shaker then adding in thumps of drums to build up that texture. It creates this swell of big feelings, and it’ll have you reaching for a friend to just hold on tight as you watch the world burn. My Version of Desire is officially out on May 30th via Safe Suburban Home.

Tilde Releases Light of My Life

Leave a comment

We deserve more music that feels like magic, which is where Swedish songwriter Tilde comes into play. She’s been releasing teases of a new record, with her latest operating as this striking chanteuse that calls you to her work. When you first press play, the song is stripped down, Tilde working atop a light strum with a little ambient buzz quivering in the distance; you’ll love her smoky tones as they glitter and sparkle from inside your speakers. If you’re patient, or completely enraptured, you’ll hear a slight bounce to the song, adding in some percussive elements deep beneath the tune, lifting the track by adding in layer after layer of texture. I just kept finding myself lost in this track, so it all seemed too perfect not to share with you.

Savak Share Child’s Pose Video

Leave a comment

It feels like Savak should be a huge name in the indie scene, featuring members of the Obits and Holy Fuck, and with a smashing rock record in their pockets, you’d think they’d be all the rage. Alas, they’re brandishing a bit of an older indie sound, using a distorted rhythm guitar to set up this wonderful chorus that seems to rain down pop sensibility on the listener; I love how it feels like its sort of a last gasp at getting the track’s message across, showering me in its melody. This is the sort of rock n’ roll that as of late seems passe, which is unfortunate because they just don’t make crunchy rock n’ roll gems like this anymore. Their new record Squawk! is out via Ernest Jenning Record Co/Peculiar Works Music on May 30th.

Allo Darlin’ Announce Bright Nights

Leave a comment

You knew it was coming, or at least you had your fingers crossed that it would come to fruition…and today is the day Allo Darlin’ announce their first LP in a decade. While they’ve often brought upbeat jangles, their new song embraces a gentler tone, something that feels like its near an indie folk sound, to a degree. Elizabeth Morris, as we would expect, is the shining star throughout, with her remarkable voice carrying a strong melody from the start to finish; she does get the occasional backing vocal to bulk it up, but her voice in the front of the mix is a huge draw. Bright Nights will be out on July 11th via Slumberland and Fika Recordings.

Welcome Strawberry Announce Desperate Flower

Leave a comment

Over the last little while we’ve been hyping up Oakland band Welcome Strawberry, and today, they announce their sophomore album, which I’ll obviously be anticipating. Their shoegaze vibe still operates as an undercurrent, but like many of their peers, they’re utilizing more propulsive percussive elements to give the song a natural movement. Those rhythmic blasts allow for the noisier elements to swirl and intermingle, continuously wrapping around one another and the listener’s ears. I really love the way the vocals are done here too, overlapping and embracing a dreamy sentiment. Desperate Flower is out on July 25th via Cherub Dream Records/a la Carte Records.
