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.

Consumables Share Title Track from Infinite Games

Leave a comment

If you’re looking for a rad new sound to file in your post-punk catalogue, please consider adding Brooklyn’s Consumables to the list here. When I went through on first listen, there’s definitely some similarities to neighbors like Parquet Courts, though this presentation feels less frantic, withholding some of the over the top antics in favor to let the song sort of ebb and flow across your speakers. In creating this approach, the group seem to look towards the more exploratory strategies of later Wire records, turning jagged edges into dreamy swirls. They’ll be releasing their Infinite Games LP on We Are Time on March 7th.

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.
