Little Champion Shares Suburbs + Drops New LP

Leave a comment

Little Champion makes it easy to be a big sucker for a classic pop rock punch, especially when you listen to the slight jangling rocker below. To me, it’s somewhere between Math and Physics Club and POTUSA, as the tune embraces a bit of mundane life observations, with a quick hook that digs into you and refuses to let you go here. It’s a furious little blast of joy that you’ll want to put in your pocket and carry away with you all day. The new record, Peaks Island and Other Places is chock full of hooks and pop moments that will keep you smiling as you circle back to press play over and over; it’s available to stream in full HERE.

Alien Boy Drop I Broke My World Video

Leave a comment

Friday will see the release of the new Alien Boy, and it’s generating a lot of buzz across the Interwebs. When this song kicks off, there’s this smattering of swirling guitars and thundering drums, setting the tone for this huge wall of beautiful noise, leaving just enough space for the vocals to cruise through coolly. The group’s aspirations were to create something akin to great classic pop rock records, such as those from the early years of Smashing Pumpkins; they look to take that immediacy and push it to the max, cranking noise that you can revisit time and time again. Check the latest video out, and grab You Wanna Fade this Friday via Get Better Records.

Brideshead Release The Light I’m Running To Single

Leave a comment

Just a bit ago we were fortunate to share the news of Brideshead circling back with a brand new LP, and today there’s another new ditty that I hope you’ll really love. At times, the track connects with these really sharp jangles, creating this springy step that has your toes tapping and your body swaying. While those charms are classic, there’s also this more indie rock centric vibe in the chorus that takes the group’s melodic tendencies to the next level. It’s a nice little mixture of styles, sprinkling in the group’s ability to charm from start to finish. You Are the Light will be out on May 23rd via Shelflife.

Monthly Club 8 Single Post

Leave a comment

Driving bedroom pop is my cup of tea, and it’s best if its served by Swedish outfit Club 8, who drop a tune a month that keeps their name forever on my mind. This track wastes no time at all, hitting with this synthetic stomp from the snares and bubbling bass groove that just punches the gas. Soft vocals dominate the verses, and while I love that aspect, the hurried pick-up that drives the chorus is really special, lifting the song with this slight little switch of directions, almost reaching anthemic heights as the vocals seem to overlap one another. Hopefully they try to top this one for next month, as this might be one of their finest pieces to date.

Caleb Nichols Releases Dark Age

Leave a comment

I know that there are old music nerds throwing around names like Elliott Smith from time to time, and while I hate a good pigeonhole, I think that this new track from Caleb Nichols might just be too good not to make that comparison. At first, the recording brought me that early Smith intimacy; you can hear the fingers sliding across the strings, echoing as if you were sitting in a room with Nichols. Then, just absorb the dulcet vocal tones, but only for a moment, as he switches around the 44 second mark into a lighter whisper, almost straining to take us to more angelic territory…and all of that just before the 1 minute mark. His new LP, Stone Age is Back, will be out this October via Royal Oakie.

Dress Warm Share Louisiana Purchase

Leave a comment

I have been keeping a steady ear on Austin outfit Dress Warm, as they seem to offer consistently solid indie rock from within the confines of our city limits. Their latest single hits all the right notes, letting the song sort of move in and out, carefully crafting each step. Certain moments bring out the forceful rock side, particularly in the way the tune kicks off, though that blast subsides so the melodies can sneak into your earholes. When they let that guitar note sort of ring out in the front of the mix, then allow space behind it, the song completely lifts, even featuring some spectacular noodling to illustrate the group’s musicianship. Stream this ditty below.

King Husky Shares Heads Above Water

Leave a comment

I cannot quite explain, but there is something in the voice of Vidar Landa that feels supremely familiar. I’m not sure if that is because I have been spending a lot of time with the forthcoming King Husky album, or if there’s something in the tones…regardless, it makes the listening to his latest single another joyous pop listening experience. When his voice comes into the picture, it’s feathered tone just sucks you into the song’s narrative, almost a shared whisper between Vidar and the listener. A steady roll of drums and supporting arrangement allow for a building of texture, lifting the song and Landa’s voice higher in the mix. The self-titled LP will be out on May 9th, next week!!

Autocamper Announce What Do You Do All Day

Leave a comment

You likely first heard about Autocamper over here on this site, or so we hope, as we’ve been championing the band for quite some time, but today brings the bestsest news, as the group are ready to finally announce their debut LP. It’s got all the proper jangles, but the Manchester group has their own approach that feels distinctive in its own sense. In the vocal duties, which are shared throughout the new album, you get this businesslike approach, hitting these straightforward notes while the rest of the group dances around with discordant guitars and stomping drum lines, adding in a sprinkle of melodic backing vocals to boot. They’ll be dropping their debut What Do You Do All Day via Slumberland and Safe Suburban Home on July 11th.

Far Caspian Return with Autofiction

Leave a comment

I distinctly remember popping into Sidebar at SXSW a few years ago, telling my wife that we had to catch the set from Far Caspian, as I was really in love with their jams. We went home superfans, and so today is welcome news, with the project announcing Autofiction, their new LP. This brand spanking new single perfectly captures what I love about the band, sort of buzzing with this lo-fidelity spirit, yet brimming with this vibrant pop sensation you don’t get too often nowadays. Honestly, this feels like the best song that Radio Dept. never wrote, and I say that with the utmost adoration for both groups! This new LP will hit on July 25th Tiny Library Records.

Another Fresh Emily Hines Track

Leave a comment

Back in February, we brought you news that the legendary folks over at Keeled Scales had picked up Emily Hines for their roster, and today we get to present you with a fresh taste of her forthcoming These Days LP (perhaps an ode to Jackson Browne). It’s really hard for me to decipher what I love most about this tune, as there’s so much to appreciate, despite being fairly bare-bones in its presentation. Hines’ delicate vocals are certainly a draw for me, as there’s this odd little whisper effect on some of the notes that’s chilling in the best sense. But, there’s also these perfect arrangement additions that are captivating; you’ll hear this warped ambiance swelling beneath the surface, and the drum work has the precise pacing this song needs. Be sure to grab the new album before its August 1st release date.
