Wails Drop Lights Out Single

Leave a comment

While the Austin scene started off the year on a roll, we look East towards our H-Town neighbors to talk about Wails, as they drop a brand new single that’s been on rotation throughout the weekend. There’s this circular ring to the track, offering up an atmosphere that reverberates from start to finish; it sets the song up perfectly with a warmth that supports the vocals. That voice tiptoes in the midst of the misty center, seemingly rising up to meet some punctuated percussive elements, all of it swelling and textured with a beautiful wall of drama. You’ll find the track on the group’s next EP, which will be out this Spring!

Carla Aakre Shares Life

Leave a comment

Over in Finland, Carla Aakre has been making quite a name for herself, with a handful of singles to her name, she’s readying her debut LP, Things I Forgot to Tell You. On this new jam, you can hear her employ a softened folk approach, though similar to many US acts, she’s filling the space behind her lead guitar with these incendiary licks, allowing the texture of the song to develop the earworm that you hear below. For me, I love how you can hear it either way, as a traditional songwriter fare, or as something with a bigger vibe. We’ll have to wait until May 2nd to find out where she goes on the new album!

Lowmoon Drops Won’t Change Your Mind Video

Leave a comment

Been a bit all over the musical map this morning, with a little of this and a little of that, but really excited for the dream pop vibes on this new single from Lowmoon. The Yorkshire-based project is certainly crafting some nostalgia, albeit in a much more modern presentation. Drums have this snazzy sharpness that creates this rhythmic pulse that glues all the pieces together; you get jangling guitars and melodies galore that climb through your speakers, all of it working well within the delightful contrast of the two vocal styles on display. This is the perfect Friday dance track you’ve been seeking, and it’ll be on the new Cathedrals LP, out April 25th via Safe Suburban Home Records.

Tom Henry Drops Art House

Leave a comment

While you’re getting bombarded by all the great releases today, you’ll also find some little treasures in the music world of singles, like this new Tom Henry track. Something in the craft of this song finds me reminiscing on my childhood growing up and listening to 50s rock n’ roll songs, though you can also kind of hear bits of Costello or Lowe in the delivery. That natural boogie inclination shouldn’t be discarded, with a ditty-worthy exploding in the chorus where you’re drawn into a classic doo-wop vibe; you’ll want to grab your Valentine and swing them about your living quarters. Henry will release Songs to Sing and Dance To on June 27th via Royal Oakie.

Echo Delay Give You A Moment of Joy

Leave a comment

There are a lot of really great albums coming out this week, and for me, the one that’s probably sliding under your radar is this new LP from Denmark’s Echo Delay. They’re playing with psychedelic tropes, particularly in the first minute of guitar noodling here. But, then while that aura maintains the status quo, the vocals come into play as a kind of quieted public speech; they’re seemingly spoken, rather than sung, with some vocal effects creating this disorienting gloriousness you’ll dive right into. So, if slow burning psychedelia seems to be your thing, sneak around through the caverns of The Second Bardo and you’ll be sure to uncover treasures!

Cross Record Drops God Fax Video

Leave a comment

While the fragility of Cross Record‘s work was on full display with Charred Grass, the new single from the forthcoming Crush Me illustrates the artistry Emily and company have put into the new album. In the opening minute and a half, you get this punch in the gut, this sort of musical equivalent to losing your breath as Cross sneaks her poetry into the distance. There are moments when the sound is so discordant that you can’t even believe that it’s Cross Record, but perhaps thats the point, as the lyrical content seems to revolve around a somber moment. Crush Me will be out on March 21st via Ba Da Bing.

Swervedriver Release the World’s Fair

Leave a comment

Sometimes the reissue strategy is great for both bands and labels, as is the case for Swervedriver, who come out today with new music, fresh on the heels of their reissued 99th Dream. This listen from their new EP is a swirl of contrasting noise; there’s this heavy buzz that creeps back and forth in the hidden passages of the tune, while a bounding piano line creates this sinister frivolity in the front. Weaving in and out are the wispy vocals, like the howling of a ghost from the beyond; it all creates this disorienting punch which is the perfect way to get your day going. The World’s Fair EP will be out on March 7th via Outer Battery.

The Tubs Share Chain Reaction

Leave a comment

Since my earliest days as a music listener, I’ve been drawn towards distinctive voices; the sort that stand in your mind, yet refuse to be replicated. Owen ‘O’ Williams voice is one such instance, and here he’s running up and down the gambit, racing to keep pace with the furious punk grind of the guitars. Then, he shucks the chains of keeping pace to work his own melodic focus into the feverish push of his bandmates. You can probably make some comparisons to Royal Headache, particularly when the song opens, but the Tubs have completely built their own sound, and we can’t wait until Cotton Crown drops on March 7th via Trouble in Mind Records.

Horsegirl’s Frontrunner Video

Leave a comment

Hopefully you got wind of the latest Horsegirl single yesterday when all the big sites hit us with it, but admittedly, I’m in love with this record, and am just going to post every track that I can. This one peels back some of the energy of their earlier singles from Phonetics On and On, but it also illustrates that they’ve mastered simplicity in every corner of the album, as even more intimate songs offer up layers of brilliance you won’t be able to escape. If you haven’t already gotten on the Horsegirl train, do so before the new record drops this Friday via Matador Records.

Chest Spill Blood On Your Doorstep

Leave a comment

As rain pours down outside the windows here, I’m drawn to this new chest. single, a track that offers up a sonic sense of impending doom. They’re spitting out post-punk in the fashion that we’ve all been drawn towards the last few years, though there’s a bit more anger in the musical element, as the guitars feel more enraged as they ring out through my speakers. Lyrically, the message is striking, particularly as my government dismantles aid and programs of humanity; it’s all about the distance growing between rich and poor and how we’ve normalized those conditions. If you’re into it, the group drop All Good Things Ends on February 28th via Howlin Banana.
