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.

Hattara Share Koiperhosia Single

Leave a comment

Once the new Hattara song opens, you are going to want to give it a moment. Don’t get me wrong, as the tune has a light strum and soft vocal to kickstart the movement, but it gradually builds in more texture moment by moment. Once all the little pieces join in the fray, the track completely lifts off, bridging into this brimming pop blast that feels like it’s going to carry you far into the future. It’s a huge pop opus, with layer after layer of magic that I wouldn’t run away from if I were you. Glad to see the group back after their special debut last year!

Teethe Announce Magic of the Sale

Leave a comment

Been a minute since we heard new music from Texas outfit Teethe, but today there is great news, with the band announcing their next LP, Magic of the Sale, along with the release of the title track. This tune operates with a downtrodden pace, which often gives the band a nod towards slowcore. But, there’s this slight jangle and build from the guitars, creating this delicious melodic center that quietly explodes once you cross the two minute mark. There are these moments when you think the track can just burst, yet the restraint to lock into the groove and let the song just billow on its own makes it the perfect feel. Magic of the Sale will be out this August via Winspear.

Stream New Music from Strawberry Whiplash

Leave a comment

If you are on the hunt for songs that you’ll want stuck in your head, I have a feeling you’re going to be in the right place today, especially when you click on this new Strawberry Whiplash tune. It’s another single from their forthcoming LP, which is still being mixed and such, but boy, if you don’t love this tune I don’t know what to tell you. You’d probably lump it in with modern indiepop, but there’s also something nostalgic and Sarah-esque about this ditty; I think Laz’s penchant for clean pop sounds perhaps just makes it a little more pop forward, which I promise you I love just as much. No word when the LP will be polished and ready, but this song has some other tracks attached, courtesy of Matinee Recordings.

A Wonderful Release Hour a Night

Leave a comment

If you tend to listen to a ton of new music you might occasionally find yourself much as I did when I first put on this track from A Wonderful, the songwriting project of Tim Wilson. I listened through a couple of times, and each time, I kept attaching myself to little notes in Wilson’s voice; I thought it sounded a bit like Dean Wareham (or maybe Doug Martsch), especially in moments where things get stretched out, offering this sort of magical ray of light on the horizon. Even in its simplicity, little humming moments and the hum of the guitar strings just keeps me fascinated, so I come back and find myself lost inside here. If you’re digging it, check out Ignite, the most recent release.
