Club 8 Share Closer to You

Leave a comment

It sounds like everyone in Sweden is intent upon landing on these ATH pages by offering up a single every few weeks; there was Red Sleeping Beauty…and today its Club 8. While some of their earlier tracks this year have had a springing nature, this one feels more spiritual in a sense. The guitar dangles in the distance, just sort of hanging itself out there, careful not to overreach, which ends up creating this sort of cavernous vibe. That’s the perfect setting for the vocals, coolly just resting in the mix, locked into the groove so as to offer up the perfect little melodic taste to listeners. I expect to be back soon with another Club 8 hit!

Heaven For Real Prep Mini Album

Leave a comment

As you can tell buy today’s jams, there’s been a lot of lo-fi guitar pop playing at my house, and I feel like this new mini album from Heaven for Real is just the added trick to finish off my recommendations for the week. The Grundy brothers open this tune with a nice stomp and twisting guitar lines that establish a nice little ditty-esque foundation. When they start to work their vocals into the song, trading and backing one another, it creates this dizzying spell of melody that is likely to get stuck in your head. But, they break it down in the song’s last minute, so as not to inundate you with a singular style, furthering your ability to digest and enjoy. Hell’s Logo’s Pink will be out on June 18th via Mint Records.

Sad Eyed Beatniks Share Monumental Ensemble

Leave a comment

There’s definitely some great tunes coming out today, monumentally so, such as the new single from Sad Eyed Beatniks. This single pulls on you immediately; the lonesome guitar and pacing feel like a leaf casually taking a ride down a slow-moving stream. Kevin Linn’s voice has this brightness that carries through the wistful bend of the notes, though it also gravitates towards a whispering effect, faintly tickling your ears as it billows right by you. If you find yourself in the market for sleepy pop tunes that help you escape the mundane trials of the world, then be sure to pick up Ten Brocades before its July 12th release date via Meritorio Records.

Another Single from Marcel Wave

Leave a comment

I’m really falling head over heels for this new stuff from Marcel Wave. Sure, you can pile it with the post-punk adjacent acts, but there’s something really special about Maike Hale Jones. It’s almost as if she’s got this little secret she keeps to herself; you can almost feel her smiling as she hits some of these notes, particularly the strikingly enchanting moments that pop out of the chorus on this tune here. The band itself maintain this effortless cool in everything they do, whether they’re plucking riffs steadily or letting the keyboard work texture the tune, it just feels like a band at the top of their game. Something Looming will drop on June 14th via Feel It Records/Upset the Rhythm.

Letting Up Despite Great Faults Share Embroidered

Leave a comment

We know there’s a brand new Letting Up Despite Great Faults record coming on the way, though details are fairly vague (thanks Mike!). That said, there’s a pumping new single you’ve got to hear if you’re a fan of the band’s indiepop style. If this new single is a glimmer of what’s in store, I’m totally ready, as this seems to have taken their polite bedroom pop sound and fused it into something bolder and bumping. This new track has these huge hooks in it, driven by the pumping synth lines and guitar riffs jangling behind. Dual vocals are still deep in the mix, which is always one of their charms, so you can still pick up on the breadcrumbs of the band’s earliest days while they forge ahead with a more potent brand. We’ll keep you posted if we here more on the new LP!

Quivers Drop Oyster Cuts Title Track

Leave a comment

A few days our friends in Quivers released the title track to their exciting new record, Oyster Cuts. While their first single bombarded you with huge pop sensation, this track peels it back a bit, settling into more of a locked soothing sensation. It’s the rhythmic pulse that really makes the track successful, setting the foundation for a huge wash of synths to sweep in while Bella Quinlan belts out these ginormous pop notes. That budding atmosphere helps create this bit of pop haze, both hopeful and trepidatious; this ties into the theme of the lyrics wherein the narrator is moving away from personal hardship into something new, though still doubting a bit of the reality. Atop great new music, the band will also be embarking on a huge tour in the Fall, bringing their set to Austin in late October. Buy their new Oyster Cuts LP before its August 9th release date via Merge Records.

Great Klons Share Twilight Gardener

Leave a comment

When you first press play on this new tune from Great Klons, tell us you don’t hear the ghost of Thurston Moore working his way into the style here. There’s that sort of old school noise feel here, though the metronomic nature of the beat allows the tune to kind of open up a bit more; it leaves plenty of space for dueling vocals to enter the fray, though they’re more supportive than dueling. The propulsive nature definitely allows the tune to kind of take on this edgy cruise control, just letting you sit back and allow the tune to wash through your speakers. Crank it.

 

Laughing’s Latest Single

Leave a comment

Would love to bag on the name Laughing, but since I’m not an asshole and rather a fan, I’d rather just ask you to focus on the band’s new jam. I love how it opened with this crashing brash guitar line, something you might expect from the Fannies. Once that settles, however, the groove is set, and the group lock right into the groove, allowing those angular riffs to encircle the harmonizing vocals at the track’s center. Reminds me a bit of recent cats like the High Water Marks or I Was a King, borrowing from a classic power pop formula and bringing it up to date with it’s own bit of magic. Because It’s True is out via Celluloid Lunch/Meritorio Records on June 28th.

Kelley Stoltz Releases Hide in a Song Video

Leave a comment

Fuck all the flair and glory of modern trends; I want good old fashioned rock n’ roll…the sort Kelley Stoltz is making. Don’t get me wrong, there’s something about Stoltz songwriting that continues to see him relevant, but the way he is playing within the confines of classic tricks really makes me love his work even more. You can hear the crunchy riffs, wether they’re offering that come hither feel or that anthemic burst that has arenas roaring, they just feel supremely huge to my ears. Extra little vocal hooks play into his charms too, which you’ll get in warm melodic doses throughout the latest jam. Just another reason to keep an eye out for La Fleur when it drops this coming Friday via Dandy Boy Records.

 

Too Many Suns Share 1974

Leave a comment

The middle of the week is always such a drag, so it’s a good thing we’ve got this Too Many Suns single hanging out in the wings, waiting to tickle you a little bit, waking you up to the day. Elements of the track have that stabbing brand of indiepop that you know we adore, but when it opens up to the chorus, allowing artists Surma to lend her voice to develop a varied texture, you’re certain to be rewarded. There’s naturally an uplifting spirit, but there’s also the promise of tomorrow, which ties into the song’s reference of the 1974 Portuguese revolution. This track appears on the group’s new record, Reverie.
