Opinion Share Mains Single

One comment

As people are turning towards end of year lists, I’m over here trying to crank out what’s coming next, and one of the things I’m enjoying is an early listen to Opinion‘s new work. Last week they dropped this rad single with a crunchy and catchy guitar sound; it wormed its way inside my ear and I was unable to pull away from the shining march. It’s made more special knowing that the bands is essentially a one man project, so the way the layers and textures continue to be placed atop one another all stems from the joyous creativity of Hugo Carmouze; Troisieme Opinion comes out on December 6th via Flippin Freaks/Howlin Banana and more.

Skinner Shares Calling in Sick

Leave a comment

Irish outfit Skinner offered up the perfect single for a Monday, especially if you’re like me and just got home late last night from a traveling adventure. While the tension and vocal delivery will feel hyper-familiar to those of you following modern post-punk trends, this song’s momentum picks up on the tension and delivers in the latter half. Indifferent vocal deliveries hop on the back of the rhythm, riding it up and down; you can feel that drive, that anger building, but you’re never quite sure you’re going to get what you deserve. Just before the 2 minute mark, the guitars begin to shriek a bit more, the vocals take on a bit of a growl, and then it explodes. It’s the perfect Monday tune, so don’t be afraid to call in sick and just crank this one up.

Lone Striker Share Dunno Single

Leave a comment

All our favorite labels of love have their hands in this Lone Striker album coming your way, and this first single should establish the group as one of your favorites too. It should come as no surprise that we’ve also covered the project in various ways, as the lone striker himself, Tom Brown, is also part of great acts like Rural France and Teenage Tom Petties. So, here we are, with a debut single, seeing Brown relishing his role as a pop extraordinaire is immediately evident; the burst of horns in the arrangement set up his voice to kind of crest and cool in the middle of the mix. All of this chilled pop works around a lightly strummed jangle, sitting right alongside the percussive element, tapping toes and bobbing heads in the best way. For now, we can thank Repeating Cloud/Safe Suburban Home/Hidden Bay for getting this tune our way…the debut album is out next year!

Decant Release Rest

Leave a comment

Went a little aggressive this morning, just trying to gather my energy here, but let’s settle with this new single from Decant. It’s a gentle number, sort of like a palate cleanser before you move into your morning routine. It opens with a bright vocal performance, sort of billowing across the front of the mix, pleasantly washing across. Layered backing vocals begin to add texture and depth to the tune, then are met by strings as the track moves into its second movement. The vocals are a little less angelic in the latter half, though still powerfully moving, especially when aided by the bending string notes that add a solemness to the song.

Constant Follower Unleash Patient Has Own Supply Video

Leave a comment

For those of us in need of a bit of comfort, Stephen McAll is a nice place to call home, particularly with a fresh new single from his outfit Constant Follower. Listening to the soft strum matching up with McAll’s voice as it sort of floats on the wind is a great place to settle into the day, even as the lyrics confront a dark period of Stephen’s past…the video does a great job of visually detailing the isolation too, furthering the intersection of the band’s music and art. If you’re seeking solace or just a great song, spend a few minutes below; Constant Followerhttps://constantfollower.bandcamp.com/ release The Smile You Send Out Returns to You via Last Night From Glasgow on February 28th.

Dropkick Announce Primary Colours

Leave a comment

It’s difficult to write about new music today, but as always, I’m just going dive into my feelings and really great tunes, like this new single from Dropkick. The band have just announced their return to Bobo Integral for a new record, Primary Colours, and a new single has come across the pond, to at least let us indulge in the warmth of their sound; they offer breezy vocals that work around the softened jangle of the guitars, wafting through your speakers with a calm that soothes at it hits your ears. Look for Primary Colours to drop on February 7th.

Cistern Share Crisis Single

Leave a comment

I’ve only recently been turned on to Cistern, though I’ve ventured through some of the other projects associated with the group, like NOV3L and Crack Cloud. This tune’s got a bit of post-punk attitude, though it’s presented in one of the most refreshing styles I’ve heard of late; there’s this incredible rise and fall on the notes, matched up with the stabbing riffs, though it all seems to tumble down a hill right into the next climb. While you keep expecting them to take off and drive the tune into a speedy rendition like their peers, they completely hold back, building the anxiety as they settle into their closing statement. One of the coolest tunes I’ve heard of late; they release New Standard via Meat Machine Records on November 22nd.

Jawdropped Sign to Angel Tapes

Leave a comment

I love when a label you follow turns you onto someone you’ve likely been waiting to rock out to, like the case for Jawdropped. The LA outfit remind me a lot of a some of the newer brand of indiepop around the late 00s, brandishing these polite jangles and letting dual vocals force melodies through your speakers. That said, you’ll find a big solo lurking in the middle of the tune, ripping right through like some of the best 90s pop rock…and I absolutely adore it. This is their first single for Angel Tapes, who’ve just signed on to work with the group going forward.

Ryli Share I Think I Need You Video

You might not have Ryli on your Bingo Card, but chances are you’ve heard from members of the band via their various projects; the group features Yea-Ming Chen, as well as members of The Goods/Sonny and the Sunsets/RE Seraphin…all who’ve featured on this site. In this single, the remnants of their various works shine through, as the song opens up with a slice of that Cali-pop piece of pie; I certainly love the way the vocals hang beneath that bright Western guitar jangle that runs its course. Snappy drum work keeps the pace moving forward, which allows for a little toe-tap as Chen’s voice serenades you, begging for you to be “around.” Look for this on a brand new 7″ from Dandy Boy Records, all hitting on the 22nd of November.

Matthew Squires Shares Song of a Cactus

Leave a comment

If I had one complaint about Austin songwriter Matthew Squires it would be that he’s been too quiet as of late; he’s one of my favorites voices in the city, so I selfishly keep hoping for more. Alas we’re here to listen to this delightful new tune, which is the perfect bedroom pop gem, and a perfect place to get your Monday off to the right start. His distinctive vocal qualities continue to endear him to those of us looking for a wayward voice to guide us through life, though they might also recall D. Johnston comparisons. Listen carefully to the way the arrangements carefully build depth to the song, ultimately erupting when you get to the track’s end. Hope to hear more from Squires in the future!
