Max Blansjaar Shares Like a Bad Dream + Drops False Comforts

Leave a comment

Today, Max Blansjaar celebrates the release of his brand new record, False Comforts, which we’ve covered pretty extensively on this site. But, before you go jump off and listen, Max wanted to offer one more tease, enticing you to get the full listen on today. There’s something about Blansjaar that exudes confidence; he’s able to coolly deliver each line with stated indifference, just letting the track’s natural charm draw you into the fray. In a way, there’s a lot on this song, and the whole record that remind me of Jeffrey Lewis, offering up classic pop styles that just feel slightly left of center, just enough to make it feel like you’re rooting for the outsider. False Comforts can be streamed HERE.

Teenage Tom Petties Share Kissed Me in Seattle

Leave a comment

The folks at Repeating Cloud and Safe Suburban Home have been hinting at new music from Teenage Tom Petties all week, and boy do we deserve this treat. On this new single, there’s almost a classic ditty feel, something that would have been catchy as hell back in the 50s, but gets a modern dust up by fueling it with walls of distortion that take the hook into the present. They’ve been flirting with catchy hooks since their inception, but this might be the peak, as you’re not going to find something as infectious as this new tune. Bonus points for an Alamo nod! You’ll hear this on the group’s new self-titled LP, which drop via the aforementioned labels on August 2nd.

Tom Emlyn Drops Double Crossed Video

Leave a comment

Swansea’s Tom Emlyn is set to release Rehearsal for the Rain: Scaredycat Vol 2 this August, and when he dropped this new video, I was instantly drawn towards it. There are certain elements that reflect a touch of of baroque pop influences, yet other moments Tom feels like he’s channeling more traditional songwriter fare like a Cohen or Banhart (more recently). When its done by Emlyn, there’s certainly an intimacy built in the careful craft of the bedroom pop brandished, vocals rising in just the right spots to drop the proper melodic hook in on the listener. Keep your eyes and ears peeled if you’re into that crafty brand of pop n’ roll.

Emma Russack Shares About the Girl Title Track

Leave a comment

When we first encountered Melbourne’s Emma Russack, she was doing collaboration work with Lachlan Denton (Ocean Party/Pop Filter), but then dropped an excellent collection of soft strummers on Winter Blues. But, as she prepares to release About the Girl, perhaps there’s a little bit more of an electronic underbelly on this tune, perhaps providing Emma with the freedom to craft her own visions entirely unencumbered by bandmates or collaborators. There’s something in the synth work that feels very Broadcast adjacent, though the way the strum is built atop that fuzzy beat allows Russack to stay true to her origin story while pushing herself musically forward. Another reason you should pencil in About the Girl as a record to pick up; it drops via Dinosaur City on August 23rd.

Robber Robber Release Dial Tone

Leave a comment

Robber Robber rules. They’re sound is aggressive and yet just melodic enough to offer up a hook that will keep you coming back for more. In the latest musical excursion from the band, they’re pitching the listener back and forth, rocking you with angular cuts then rolling you back with the coy vocal delivery from Nina Cates. While each roll of the dice hints at post-punk undertones, their ability to roll that into a full-on barrage of noise rock makes them incredibly dangerous, musically speaking. Packing both bravado and creativity, you’re not going to be able to turn away from this fresh single; it features on their new Wild Guess LP, out July 26th.

Blood Share TV for a Reason Single

Leave a comment

One of the great things about listening to a single by a band you’re familiar with is envisioning their sound filling out your local club; you can hear the live energy coursing through this new single from former ATX band Blood. Walls of noise smash through the speakers, almost immediately meeting up with singer Tim O’Brien’s voice to soften the blow. Tim’s range is really showing through on the group’s latest batch of singles, illustrating how much he’s come into his own; I love the way the tune slows to offer a bit of a whisper near the 1 minute mark. And for all their bombast, they incredibly build at the song’s end, only to hold onto the climactic release you’re likely seeking. Their new LP, Loving You Backwards is slated for a release on August 2nd via Ramp Local.

Eazyhead Share Feel Alright Video

Leave a comment

Was momentarily at risk of going full on indiepop mode today, so wanted to mix up your morning by offering this brilliant bit of psychedelia from Filipino outfit Eazyhead. They’re offering up that sort of Brian Jonestown meets Spiritualized vibe, letting the song sort of billow in a circular nature, almost as if they’re crafting some sort of hazy seance that’s got you under it’s spell. In the latter half you’ve got this dynamic solo that cuts its way through the smog, but in that, there’s also an understated pop sensation that begins to filter through the noise, leaving you with this bright charm to close it out with a nice strum. The band are releasing Personal Echo Chamber via Dedstrange on August 23rd.

The Ekphrastics Share Make Your Own Snowboard

Leave a comment

If music runs through your veins, you can’t stay away for long…which is why the old ghost called to Frank Boscoe (Vehicle Flips); he picked up and then began anew with The Ekphrastics…and now they’ve got a new LP coming your way. Our first listen to the title track, almost seems like it’s the missing link between indiepop and modern americana sounds. I was drawn towards the rolling chug of those guitar lines, wrapping themselves around each little melodic vocal line. The narrative nature is a grand life lesson too, offering up themes of doing your very best, despite expected outcomes. Honestly, you’ll find a great bit of familiarity luring throughout, and if you keep turning over musical stones, you’ll just reveal more of those special moments hidden beneath the surface. The band release Make Your Own Snowboard on August 16th via Harriet Records.

Fast Execution Announces Menses Music

Leave a comment

This seems like the Summer of Dandy Boy Records, having already dropped new music from Yea-Ming and Kelley Stoltz, they now move forward with a new release from Fast Execution. The return of fuzzy rock continues, but singer Alex Velasquez would love for it to be less of a boy’s club, so she’s trimmed it of its fat and offers up this melodic brand that’s short and to the point. Drums hang in the background adding a little bulk to the tune, though the energetic rush of hooks need little else to get stuck inside your head. Menses Music will be released on August 8th!

Dutch Interior Sign with Fat Possum

Leave a comment

Dutch Interior is a new-to-me act, and I’m definitely interested to hear where there music will go now that they’ve signed with Fat Possum and dropped a new single to a larger audience. Initially, the atmospheric build of the song was what took me; it’s got the perfect balance of escapism meets hurtling noise. When the vocals enter, they operate in this mundane manner, sort of settling the track or even just letting the listener breathe before the song unfurls into this bounding bit of post rock glory. You can crank it up, and honestly, you might not even need the lyrics, as the movement and power are that moving…so be on the lookout for. more from this LA act. Also…shout out to Joan Miro.
