Mythical Motors Share Car Rainbow Record

One comment

You’re looking out your window, seeing Spring bloom before your eyes…or at least that’s what we’re seeing in our neck of the woods…and to go perfectly, you need a great song, like this new Mythical Motors jam. After a twinkling guitar intro, the song drops into this brilliant brand of jangling pop and deliciously warming melodies. The softened tones of Matthew Addison’s voice this go round are reminiscent of the work Glenn Donaldson’s been doing in Reds Pinks and Purples, though I’ll admit, Addison has more of bounce to this jam. It’s quick and sunny, and worthy of repeat, all things that point towards the future success of Travelogues and Movie Stills, which hits on April 18th.

Icarus Phoenix Drops The World That We Live In

Leave a comment

Drew Danburry has been on a prolific songwriting streak since putting out his last LP this past August, and he continues with another from the Icarus Phoenix catalog. Drew says the initial premise of this song was that we could all have a larger impact and change the world, and while that sentiment seems to have faded for many of us, it’s important that we cling to that hope, and push for it. Perhaps that’s why this song’s got such a draw for me, still seeing me clinging to the idea that “we can change it/we can remake it.” Let’s not forget that hope, and forget that artists like Drew make that possible.

Buffet Lunch Drop Whitsun Sound Video

Leave a comment

One of the record’s I’m looking forward to the most in April is the latest LP from Scottish act Buffet Lunch; they’ve got this sound that feels like a study in indie rock, taking the elements that have been in favor, then sort of spinning them as their own yarn, pulling away from the immediacy to reveal a more thought-provoking brand. This jam is in no rush here, trickling on these little samples and discordant rings, steadying before the vocals come in. Things only get more harrowing from there, with the shredding manipulating your senses, almost pushing you away with its sharpness and grating nature; the group push you, twist you, and beg your expectations to evolve with them. They’ll release Perfect Hit via Upset the Rhythm.

Kick Back with Liam Mour

Leave a comment

Hitting some soft rock tones, I wanted to move into a little bit of a different space now with Liam Mour‘s latest track. The German artist is a master at beat work, and this one fuses a bit of retro breaks with futuristic sonics that elevate every note. I love the way the song feels like a tranced out club groove, then erupts with this wall of fuzzy guitars around the 1.30 mark, really guiding and twisting the song into its own brand of magnificence. The heaviness of that moment carries in and out, but ultimately fades as the song returns to its more sedate nature. This tune features on the new All Set Lets Swim EP, out March 28th.

Wholihan Shares Dried Up Creek

Leave a comment

I’ve been playing catch up this morning, as I took off immediately after SXSW to hit up a family vacation, so the emails are everywhere! Which is how I hit upon Wholihan, an artists new to me, but whose voice is certainly something I’ve been drawn to this morning. The artist has a slew of observational singles to his name, but his latest for some reason recalled Eef Barzelay, partly because the voice was distinctive, but also because there was this way with his wordplay that really highlighted the poetic craft. Musically, the song takes on a songwriter’s craft, albeit with a bit of a down-trodden nature due to the tones and self-deprecation. Try this one on for size.

Broncho Release I Swear Video

Leave a comment

I don’t know what’s in the water, but the new Broncho stuff is totally my vibe right now. They’ve changed up the construction, and while there’s clearly their usual pop sentiment, there’s this fogginess that drips across the singles we’ve heard, like the tune below. They even take that into the way their video footage is being shot, incorporating that into the wash of the film. You’ll also find a slight little tonal shift around the 1:40 mark that really solidifies the track’s pop sentiment, twisting it into a momentary bedroom pop gem. They’ll release Natural Pleasure, the new LP, on April 25th. They’ve got huge tour dates from June through August, with a July 18th date here in Austin at the Mohawk!

Baker Island Release Stone Age Riot

Leave a comment

When I ran through the new Stone Age Riot EP from Newcastle’s Baker Island, there was something that reminded me of Los Campesinos, though with a more sedated rock presence. Their verses are rather modern, kind of indifferent in their presentation, like the on this single down below; this approach allows the group to really set up the chorus, which is where their boisterous nature kicks into gear. It’s punchy, clearly moving forward as the entirety of the song just lifts off in the chorus; this is what big pop moments were made for, at least in my eyes. If you’re enjoying their spritely rock n’ roll, check out all of the new EP, available to stream now!

Ty Segall Announces Posession

Leave a comment

I likely don’t jam to Ty Segall as much as I once did, but it’s always nice to check in on one of the most prolific artists progress, especially as he announces his new LP, Possession, today. Our opening listen sees him traveling back to the power ballads of classic rock, working on a bouncing organ and thumping bass to set the musical scene. It’s interesting to listen to a track where Ty’s guitar work is not the selling point, at least not in a lot of the verses, as that’s where I feel like he made his bread in the early days. That said, the latter half of the song sees him break into more of the expected jam territory, letting the guitar free into the world and driving forth with a bit of emphasis. His new album will be out on May 30th via Drag City.

New Club Coma Single

Leave a comment

I meant to run this on Friday, but as I hope our friend Geoff in Club Coma understands, that dad life gets in the way sometimes. This Austin outfit is, like many of late, fusing club vibes and rock n’ roll, and they do so with this powerful brand of rock n’ roll, particularly if you catch the group in the live set (like we did at our SXSW party last night). They pull in a bit more of an R&B meets pop in their recording, then drive those rock riffs through the roof when they hit the stage. It’s not an act looking for a crossover, just a handful of great musicians fusing their love of genres into this huge musical delight. Try a sample.

Club 8 Drop Monthly Single

Leave a comment

For the last year, plus, Sweden’s Club 8 have delighted us with pop tune after pop tune, and it looks as if they’ll continue that pattern in 2025, dropping a new jam every month. Their latest single is a little softer in its presence, pulled back from the boisterous pop they’ve worked with…though you can easily connect the dots here. They pull their sound this go round from a nostalgic 80s movie set, setting up that bubbling yacht rock groove, letting the softness of the vocals bob atop the crafty pop waves coming through your speakers. Never a bad single from these Swedes.
