Dress Warm Share Louisiana Purchase

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

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

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

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

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.

Sugar for the Pill Give Luv

Grecian dreampop outfit Sugar for the Pill have been getting a lot of play on our side of things, and with another single dropping, we just wanted to make sure the act popped up on your radar. For branding purposes, they operate on the softer side of things, creating an ambient bend that hangs like a stage backdrop, omnipresent but pulled aside occasionally to let you peek at the little nuances. This allows the vocals to operate almost like dreamy shooting stars, sort of shooting across the front of the mix, twinkling as the notes land in your ear. A couple of singles have dropped this year, so fingers crossed for a new LP!

The Beths Return with Metal

The Beth‘s have been mostly silent since their deluxe reissue of Expert in a Dying Field. But, they’re about to set off on a huge North American tour, and what better way to kick off the excitement than by dropping a brand new single? Today they bring you, “Metal,” returning with this perfect brightness for Springtime, marching through with this steady snare roll and light-hearted jangling on the guitar, allowing Elizabeth Stokes to weave her vocal magic. It’s definitely a pop focused tune, playing into the band’s lighter side, perhaps hinting at what we can expect on their next album. Speaking of a new album, today’s new jam comes with the announcement of the band’s signing to Anti Records too!

The Fleok Share Pennies Video

After spinning my weekend over at Psych Fest, I got to wake up to this brand new track from the Fleok, which, subtly draws from the genre, albeit in a sort of psych adjacent delivery. Upon first listen, you’ll notice a spoken word delivery bringing you into the depths of the song, which immediately made me think of Lift to Experience; it’s a slow build, but it sets up perfectly for the latter half of the track. When the whole song just comes crashing down in this beautiful combination of pop that is likely to make your heart swoon, banging out this climbing piano line and soulful howl.

Strange Pilgrim Share Late Light

Taking a moment from writing about all the weirdo records coming out today to encourage you to keep your eyes out on the future Strange Pilgrim record, as they announce Too Bright Planet today. When jamming this new single (and their recent Embers EP), they’ve taken sort of a folk-influenced americana, and moved into the territory of fog (or rain since they’re from Portland) pop, which ends up putting it into that kind of cosmic dreaminess. This one even includes some appropriate noodling, where musicianship gets put on display before wrapping you up in a warm blanket. Keep your eyes out for the new LP; it drops in September via Royal Oakie.

Red Birds Share For Show + Drop New Album

As we mentioned earlier, today is going to be one of those huge release days, and so I’ll try to look at the folks under the radar, like Maryland outfit Red Birds. My initial draw here on the featured track was the solemnity of the guitar tones; you can easily hear where this would have slid right alongside any number of slowcore acts of the late 90s (I’m thinking Bedhead). But, where this differs is the power of singer Zoe August’s voice; she embraces an almost traditional folk delivery, setting her next to any number of huge stars like Merce Lemon or Waxahatchee. Intermingling texture, pace and beautiful vocals makes the entirety of Things We Thought We Were Done With a very special listen, and it’s available to jam today if you jump HERE.
