Colatura Share Suffer Dude Single

Leave a comment

Brooklyn’s Colatura return with their first piece of music since 2022 album, And Then I’ll Be Happy; it hits the perfect summer sentiment, at least when you’re looking at the sonics. Guitars shimmer and and shine throughout the background, building up this sort of mirage that one might find upon the ocean waters at midday. Lyrically, the song seems to have the narrator settling on being unhappy in a sense, preferring to stay inside when it’s the outside world that consistently seems to bring them down. Summer ripper with a sad sentiment spun into sugary pop for your enjoyment.

Whitelands Share Cheer Video

Leave a comment

This fresh track from Whitelands just dropped, and I’m buying whatever it is that they’re selling us. While the opening is abuzz with a wash of noise, that’s quickly pulled back away, almost like the band are afraid of their own shadow. It’s there where they draw you in, stilly bringing in the vocals while the guitar notes move in and out of the cavernous realm they’ve created. What you’ll enjoy is their consistent use of space to kind of bring the more dream-like nature of the genre to the fore, letting you sink into the track itself. The digital version has a howdogirlssleep remix, if you’re willing to check out more of what’s being offered today.

Fake Fruit Drop Mas o Menos Single

Leave a comment

Really loving the energy coming through on this new Fake Fruit single, just another reminder of the diversity of the Oakland scene (third song today from the area!). Their first two tracks from the forthcoming Mucho Mistrust LP were illustrating the group’s ability to stretch themselves beyond the expectations. Growth is great, but this tune feels like their lineage coming through, ferocious and scratching at your speakers as they drive forth frantically. You get a brief respite in the tune, but it only ramps up the tension more so they can tear the song to the ground. Mucho Mistrust is ready to rock n’ roll; it drops on August 23rd via Carpark Records.

Knitting Share Sleeper Single

Leave a comment

You can always count on Mint Records to deliver solid Canadian music recommendations, like their latest singing Knitting. You’re certainly going to find similarities in the songwriting, particularly in the tune’s latter half where emotion is built up and unleashed on the listener, with those moments recalling acts like PACKS or Cherry Glazer. But, the opening lightness of the tune reminded me a bit of the Softies, with singer Mischa Dempsey drifting carefully into the verse with a sense of wander that’s simply sublime. That contrast between the quiet and loud is executed perfectly, drawing you into the tune where Dempsey powerfully details their experience as a member of the trans community. Some Kind of Heaven drops on September 6th.

Chime School Share Wandering Song

Leave a comment

Make no mistake about it, but this Chime School record headed your way is going to be atop all of our year end lists. Today, you get a bit more of a look under the covers, as the group share “Wandering Song,” with an accompanying video. The immediacy of their jangling sound is right up front; you’ll have those jangling crystalline riffs cutting right through your speakers (in the best way!). But, one thing of note that I caught onto, was the approach to the vocals; they almost have a more 90s college rock/alternative feel to them, stretching the group’s sound into something relatable, yet completely in its own category. The Boy Who Ran the Paisley Hotel will be out on August 23rd via Slumberland Records.

Letting Up Despite Great Faults Share Powder

Leave a comment

As they gear up for their new album, Austin’s Letting Up Despite Great Faults offer us another sneak peek at what’s in store. This go round, the band open up with a ton of electronica, using samples to build a backbone that lets Annah’s feathered vocals caress the industrial feel. When they hit the chorus, the groove rises a bit, bringing in the whole band to craft a little textured depth that tethers the new direction to the band’s storied past. Definitely exciting to hear them stretch their sound going forward. You can grab Reveries this October, and stream a few more singles by jumping and pre-ordering HERE.

Photay Announces Windswept + Shares Derecho

Leave a comment

Wednesdays, am I right? Well, I’m trying to settle back into a routine after a little vacation, and with that, this Photay is a steady little electronic tune that lets you sit back as the synthetic waters nip at your toes. For the first two minutes, the beat’s fairly understated, and the vibe careful, but crossing that mark and you get a bit more of a bump in the song’s latter half, shining a little light into your day. It’s a subtle tune of relaxed craft, so wanted to be sure you had your feet under you as you settled into the midweek. This single features on the new LP, Windswept, out in September!

Supermilk Share Many Thanks Single

Leave a comment

If you need an energy injection to get through today, might we encourage you to turn the knob on your stereo up a little louder as you indulge in this new track from Supermilk. On this new single, the London outfit are channeling that sort of sharply bobbing brand of punk, punctuating riff work so as to create a bit of a natural dance. The chorus bites a little heavier, giving off a bit of a drive that maximizes the noise capacity. For my two cents, I love the vocal delivery, particularly when the notes stretch into higher octaves, reminiscent of Futureheads and the way they almost made punk rock sound like a chorale group. The band will release High Precision Ghosts on August 9th via Specialist Subject Records.

TR/ST Shares All At Once Single

Leave a comment

Not sure where or when it was that I first caught TR/ST (who went by Trust at that time), but I do remember the inclination to let my body free itself and immerse myself in what was before me. Now, years down the road, I’m still devoted to the work of Robert Alfons, and I’m definitely excited there’s a new album coming our way, with the first single hanging out below. That freeing sentiment is definitely omnipresent in his work, like the propulsive beat here; you may commence air-punching and foot stomping in your room after craning the volume to an appropriate level. Alfons vocals are distinctive, like a darker version of Anhoni, but built for late night dance floors and shadowy corners. Performanceis out on September 23rd via Dais Records.

True Optimist Drop New Video: The Argument

Leave a comment

When True Optimist dropped their first single, it was this sharply tiptoeing pop tune, playful, yet shadowed. On their latest single, “The Argument,” they’re toying with much the same childish innocence, working along this carefully walked synth line. When Evan and Susan combine their vocal work, the track begins to take on this sedated seance vibe, sort of like a spiritual awakening as the two lovers in the narrative come to realize perhaps they should try to see things from the other’s perspective. They’re building these unique pop tunes that allow you to just sit and soak in the bathtub of their craft, waiting until your fingers wrinkle so you can get up and press play all over again. Self Aware Records will release the band’s new album, Mental Health, on August 2nd.
