Vessels Share Nowhere to Be

Woke up this morning feel a little bit of a growl, and this tune from Vessels caught my energy; it adheres to an old school style of garage rock, of the sort that’s driving a bit of hook-laden pop right into your memory. The snapping rhythm section offers up a bit of enhanced bravado, playing off the way the vocals get delivered throughout the tune. You’ll certainly hear the remnants of the 00s garage revival here, but, with hooks this fun, it’s hard not to just get carried away with the volume turned up full blast on this one. Debut EP coming out this December!

New Mogwai Song + Album News

I was really fortunate to catch Mogwai this past Spring in Austin, and the impressed me with their set then just as they did when I was a young teenager, filling the giant room with walls of squalling noise and ambiance. Today, the post-rock outfit bring out a fresh single, reclaiming post-rock from all the boring would-bes that they, perchance, created. I love the thoughtfulness of the video, as they group continue to incorporate the aspect of visual art into their musical scores…plus who doesn’t love doggos? You get talk-box effects, edgy solos, feedback and a steady percussive march, all of it a reminder of just how great they are. Their new album The Bad Fire is out on January 24th.

Hanemoon Shares Fresh Single

Hans Forster aka Hanemoon has been making the rounds on ATH for sometime, with a handful of great LPs over on Jigsaw Records; he’s got a new EP on the horizon for November, and has sent over this new jam (which he may or may not put on that EP). From the opening guitar riff, you know you’re in for a classic brand of pop, furthered by the entry of the smoothed pop vocals from Hans himself. I love how the tune stays in its lane, continuously riding the rhythmic element so as to let Forster’s melodies dominate a headphone listener. Good to have Hanemoon back at it so soon after Rain or Shine; Easy on the Wildlife will be out Novemer 24th via Subjangle.

Colatura Share Do You Miss Her

For the better part of two years, Colatura have been quiet after releasing the excellent, And Then I’ll Be Happy. But, this year, they’ve offered up a tune here and there, with the latest just popping up. You’ll hear some sonic similarities to the work of Beach House, though I think this lot prefer bigger washes of guitar texture in their pop build up. Still, they come at the shimmering melodies from the shadows, letting the twist and turns free from the darkness like the first glimmer of the sun creeping up on a new day. They double down on the noise in the last 30 seconds or so, so be sure to hang about the end!

Holding Hour Share Colors Talk + Release Parallel Lines EP

If the first song you hear today is the latest track from Holding Hour, you’re going to be okay today. They toss the song out with a heavily rumbling guitar note, it turns and twist while the vocals carefully traipse about in the middle of the mix. But, the plot twists just before the 1 minute mark, bringing the vocals forward and offering the listener (that’s you!) just a bit more melody to hold onto. They return to the softened confines of the single, lurking in its midst before moving back; they even add a new guitar layer the second go round! All of this is the sort of care you’ll find when you listen to Parallel Lines, which is officially out today along with this single, offering five fresh takes on brooding pop music.

Buddie Drop Impatient

Maybe you’re already hip to Buddie, but if not, let us assure you that the Vancouver squad are going to be one of your favorite things to slide into today. They’re offering up the modern blend of grunge and noise rock, though my favorite thing is that they never shy away from dropping in a huge hook. The vocals perfectly build up, trudging through the murkiness of heavy riffs and shoe-gaze-y shoot-offs, climbing this tonal mountain then dropping back into to meet the listener with a warm blast of melodic notes. This jam comes our way courtesy of Crafted Sounds.

Abdomen Share Yes I Don’t Know Single

There’s very little out there about Dutch trio Abdomen, but I’ve been really fascinated by their sound as I continue to crank up the volume. A sneaky start of snapping snare soon opens up to stabbing strokes on the guitar; there’s an ominous feel with another layer working beneath, building this sort of industrial fusion with post-punk vibes. When the vocals enter, they’re sort of muted, as if they’re just echoing from down the hall. Blasts of noise are a warning sign of what’s to come, increasing the tension as the drums join in and the song begins to embrace its own danger. Fucking cool as hell, and a glimpse at what’s to come on their debut album, which will drop via FatCat Records in February.

Generifus Share Body and Mine + Release Summerberrys

Everyone’s trying to cram as much new music into the end of the year as possible, so let’ add the latest release from Generifus to the mix of things I’ve had on rotation. The single below shares the brightness in the guitar style that runs through Summerberrys, which still resonates as we near record days of heat over here in Texas. What I was drawn towards, and perhaps this is due to my indulgence in the style, but something about Spencer’s voice this go round feels very Oceanic; it has that casualness allowing for the narration of a well-lived life. You’ll find the chorus offering up some sweet rewards too, so indulge below.

Sharon Van Etten & the Attachment Theory Announce Debut LP

I’ll be upfront here; I did not enjoy the last Sharon Van Etten record. I love her voice, and its got such huge range, but that LP let me down. So, here we are on new horizons for the artist, as she’s enlisted her band in the songwriting process, creating something that feels a little bit like a darkened twist on her previous work. For me, the synth stabs that operate in the shadows while Van Etten offers a shimmering vocal performance are what make this quite a jam for you. It kind of feels like the band have allowed her to revisit the darker side of her craftsmanship, so we’re looking forward to seeing what Sharon Van Etten & the Attachment Theory is really all about; the debut drops on February 7th via JagJaguwar.

La Securite Share Detour Single

You’re going to throw a stabbing post punk guitar riff at me? Then follow it up with this infectious bass groove and a bit of bob-and-weave vocal stylings? Okay, I’ll follow you anywhere at that point, just like I will with a new La Securite single. And, as much as I love the hooks in the songwriting, there are some elements towards the latter half that just put the group in their groove, locking into the fun of building noise and letting the mixture swirl around until it all sounds absolutely perfect. This is the perfect reminder of how great the group are, and perhaps why I should go revisit Stay Safe!
