Broncho Share Funny Video + Announce Natural Pleasure

Leave a comment

Broncho has been away for a few years, and while that may have temporary halted their continuous rise as indie rock stars, the announcement today of Natural Pleasure should very much put them back in the limelight. This tune below feels very Oklahoma to me, and I’m not sure Ryan would see it this way, but the first 20 seconds of this track feels like an homage to Colourmusic, working in a cyclical hook that comes and comes and comes. It opens the tune into this sort of hazy wash of bouncing grooves, bubbling and popping in all the right spots. The way the rhythm section grooves and turns throughout keeps the song moving, though the twist and curl of the vocals you in this dream state. Wonderful to have the band back, and their new LP will be out April 25th.

Jetstream Pony Announce Bowerbirds and Blue Things

Leave a comment

I slacked off a little on Friday, but one of the jams that I absolutely had to cover to make up for it was the album announcement of Jetstream Pony. They announced Bowerbirds and Blue Things last Friday, and from the first single, it has absolutely everything you’d expect or want: the guitars have a distorted ring to them, on the cusp of jangling but with more bite; the vocals are sweet and melodic, with accented backing vocals building depth in all the right spots; there’s a breakdown to give you the slightest mid-tune left turn. Dropping a tune like this sets a statement that the entirety of the LP is going to be nothing short of pure pop bliss. You can get the new LP from Shelflife/Spinout Nuggets on March 28th.

Myriads Share Spider Single

Leave a comment

Having begun as a mostly solo project, Maria DeHart’s Myriads now seems bigger than its early bedroom beginnings. But, while the sound of the latest single feels huge, in terms of effort, it doesn’t lose the sincerity in the way her craft works. Moments throughout tend to get punched up and aggressive, only to pull things back in and provide a little bit of softer intimacy to the listener. It’s a balancing act, but one that certainly illustrates the growth of her songwriting, as well as hints at where her new EP is headed; Find Ourselves again is scheduled for release this Spring.

Club 8 Remind Us None of This Will Matter When You Are Dead

Leave a comment

Another month, and of course, another Club 8 song; I’m hoping they’re sticking with the goal of one new track a month, as there’s never a bad time for this Swedish pop outfit to drop a tune. This one was really rad from the beginning, hitting with more of a driving energy that caught me off guard for a moment; I could hear a similarity to the urgency that the Ravenonettes bring to some of their pieces, which gives a more rock n’ roll feel throughout. Now, that doesn’t mean it’s not going to have that sugary center, as you’ll hear that employed here too, and boy does the mixture of the two styles feel seamless and sweet. See you next month Club 8 (I hope)!

Mythical Motors Announce Travelogues and Movie Stills

One comment

Matt Addison and company, aka Mythical Motors, never seem to waste any time; they just happened to sprinkle a few records out last year, and now we’re anticipating a solid new collection this Spring. It only takes two seconds for the swing of this track to immediately drop right into your lap, hitting you with these muted jangles; they have a sharpness but cling to their melodic center. For me, it’s the earnestness of the vocals throughout the chorus that’s absolutely charming; they have this feathered lightness, but still feel like they’re punching through the roof…save the moments when they’re pulled back to mix in swirls of warmth. And, for as many times as I have listened and heard the familiarity, there are little interchanges in the song that completely change the direction, so each corner turned feels like a breath of fresh air. Travelogues and Movie Stills will be out via Repeating Cloud on April 18th.

Another Single from Exploding Flowers

Leave a comment

An unexpected joy for this year will be getting to hear a new album from Exploding Flowers; they return this Spring with their first new release in 5 long years. This tune finds them in prime guitar pop glory; they settle into the circular seance of guitars, with the occasional drum fill adding in some textural depth. You’ll find a lot of joy in the way the vocals sit, soothingly swimming about in the center of the tune, though they’re not overproduced, so they fit perfectly into the grander picture being pushed out here. And like that, the wind blows the song into a tumbling breakdown and its over, as there’s no need to linger, because you’ll be back to play it again in no time. Watermelon/Peacock will be out on March 21st via Meritorio Records.

New Silver Girl Drop Loud Love Video

Leave a comment

Finnish outfit New Silver Girl have been on our radar since some of their earliest releases via our friends over in Soliti. This year, they’re dropping a new LP titled Wild Carnation, and we’ve got the group’s latest single for you to throw down. You’re certain to hear a bit of psychedelic swagger in this single, but there’s this hallucinogenic fire that weaves its way into the song. In going with this approach, the group continues their cinematic nature, blending rock elements with a theatrical presence that sees the band moving all over the musical map. Be sure to keep it real with the breakdown boogie in the song’s latter half.

Did You Check Out the new Roi Turbo?

Leave a comment

Digging deep this week to kind of cover all the hits, so my brain’s clearly all over the place. That being said, I’m totally enjoying this space-aged ditty from Roi Turbo. Okay, maybe it’s not a ditty, as it’s purely instrumental, but there’s definitely enough movement that the euphoria won’t fade. They take the song up, as you can see in the video, working to craft an industrial energy, then they pull back, and just as you are about to leave the dance floor and grab a cup of water, they pick right back up and push into the more explorative territory. It’ll have you bobbing your head and tapping your toes, so crank it up and get busy.

Quinquis Announces EOR

Leave a comment

Just the other evening I was lamenting the absence of cinematic electronica. Sure, I was totally talking about Holodeck Records, but when this Quinquis track arrived, it completely scratched that musical itch. Opening with a beat that sounds like a stuttering heart, the song begins to pulse and blossom beneath Emilie Quinquis angelic tones; we get to hang here, magically suspended in the space that’s left open in the song’s craft. That said, there’s a plot twist, as we’re then introduced to South African artist Desire Marea, who approaches the track in Zulu, capturing this essence of a sort of light that or wave that moves from a center out, spreading across the world. When the two wrap their voices around one another, it’s quite the musical spectacle, and all of it accompanied by the impressive video. This tune kicks off EOR, the new Quinquis LP, dropping on May 9th via Mute.

Sharp Pins Share Storma Lee Video

Leave a comment

The expanded version of Radio DDR will be out this March, but every new little Sharp Pins snippet we get to hear, like “Storma Lee” just makes me feel embarrassed how infinitely cool this kid is. I don’t mean that in a belittling sense, but there’s this wiseness and awareness that I can’t imagine possessing at his age, and his music is beginning to show the depths of that knowledge. Slater calls this a “zombie beach boy daydream terror,” though I can see it as a less erratic Guided by Voices; it has this slight polish, just on the cusp of being overdone or disappearing altogether. There’s a dedication to a sort of lo-fidelity taste, and the warbles add to that texture, but slight little changes like the plot twist at 1:48 illustrate the stunning craftsmanship in all these songs. Just another phenomenal taste of what’s to come: Radio DDR is out March 21st via K Records/Perennial.
