Club 8 Return with ooo

Leave a comment

I’m not entirely sure if this is their new strategy or if Club 8 are just chock full of fun ideas that they can’t help themselves, but I do know that they’re continuing with last year’s approach of a new hit every month. If the rhythmic pulse on this tune doesn’t do the trick, you can immerse yourself in the dancing guitar line that hangs about too, with both doing a great job hooking the listener. While I love the softness of the verse, there’s a switch in the vocals at the last bit of the tune that really cemented this jam for my ears. Time will tell what this year holds for the Swedes, but another tune never hurts!

Pink Chameleons Share Draggin’ On

Leave a comment

I wanted to take some time looking over towards our friends in Finland, Pink Chameleons. They’ll release their second long-player, Harmony, at the end of the month, and they’re bringing back that dark-tinged psychedelia that shares some sonic similarities to Austin’s own Black Angels. You’ll find the riffs mellowing in the shadows, waiting to hit a touch of explosiveness when you arrive at the chorus, matched with some organ work to strengthen the underbelly. “Draggin’ On” celebrates the growth on the group’s new LP, moving into a heavier world of psychedelia, with their punk roots fading away in the distance (though hints still lurk on the record here and there!). Harmony is out on January 31st via Soliti Music.

Prism Shores Share Overplayed My Hand Single

Leave a comment

Those of us on this side of the indie scene have all been anticipating the new Prism Shores LP, Out from Underneath; it drops next week via Meritorio Records. But, before we get to the finish line, the group are offering one last trick to tickle your fancy, and it might be the best one we’ve heard from the group. When it begins, it has this quieted joy, the sort you’d associate with the Reds, Pinks and Purples, but progresses into something with a bit more explosiveness that warrants repeat listens. I absolutely love the way the track just feels like a big hug, despite hitting these jittery notes that seem like we’ve lost total control. Grab the LP before it’s too late!

New Bop from Evripidis and His Tragedies

Leave a comment

Starting off the year in a grim fashion, we’re hoping music can offer up that solace many of seek, which is the intent of Evripidis and His Tragedies and their latest single. They crafted the tune to offer a “pop gem that will help dance away any mental crisis,” which it certainly does if you’re willing to spend some time. There’s a glittering pulse that pushes through the tune, while Evripidis allows his pop enthusiasm to dance and glide across your living room floor; you deserve to let your body and mind be free for a moment. You’ll also find a nice little nod to Orange Juice lurking inside. There’s a deep catalog of music from the group available, so don’t be afraid to pop back and see what else the group have to offer!

Gus Baldwin and the Sketch Drop Luxury Television

Leave a comment

It’d been a minute since I caught a Gus Baldwin show, and while he was technically playing as a member of Bubba Lucky, his performance reminded me of the incredible guitar work that courses through his own band’s new LP. Clicking play below, there’s an immediacy in the songwriting that’s reminiscent of acts like Jay Reatard; I love the frantic nature that’s emphasized by the screeching guitar licks that bounce across the speakers. The whole band gets in on the action here too, taking almost a full minute of instrumental breakdowns to flex their musical skillset before they rip right towards the close. Gus Baldwin and the Sketch drop their self-titled LP on January 31st.

Alpaca Sports Share Fresh Single

Leave a comment

It’s been a really busy week in the indie landscape, but I couldn’t get through this week without giving a shout out to a the latest single from Alpaca Sports. This song opens with this huge bouncing push, hanging on the edges of a jangling riff and pumping energy right through your speakers. Then, they pull back just a bit, letting Amanda take over on vocal duties this go round, offering up a velvety serenade that reveals another layer of the group’s craft. I love that the group don’t shy away from their influences, mentioning acts like Saint Etienne and Pet Shop Boys in the press for this latest tune. They’ll release Another Day on January 17th via Elefant Records.

Sharp Pins Reissue Radio DDR + Share New Single

Leave a comment

Originally released as part of the Hallogallo tape series, Sharp Pins have elected to reissue Radio DDR via the heralded K Records/Perennial. But, the real kicker is that Kai Slater has not only doubled-down on his craft, he’s added a few new tracks to the release, one of which you can’t catch below. There’s a familiarity to his discordant pop, especially if you’ve found yourself fond of obscure lo-fi pop, though there’s some little nuances that add their own layer of charm. Just listen to the bass bob right before the 2 minute mark hits, turning the song into an entirely different piece that opens up a pandora’s box of melody before reverting back; it’s a brief flourish, albeit one that has Slater as one of the great indie hopes of tomorrow. Radio DDR will be out on March 21st via the aforementioned heroes.

Matador Sphere Drop Image in Place

Leave a comment

It’s a new year, and with that, here’s the first bit of new music coming out of Austin…that I’ve been sent, anyways. Matador Sphere is an up-and-coming act, with a goal of blending stellar electronic atmosphere with a more modern pop core. In this tune, the vocals keep the track calmed, righting the ship as it sways back in forth in the seas of punctuating electronics; there’s a carnival-esque nature, especially as electronic notes seem to rain upon the chorus. Adding in some sampled strings builds in the texture too, thickening the track as it twists and turns into pop madness as it fades to a close.

Signal Share You Must Win

Leave a comment

If I were to pick a day to jam to this new Signal tune, it feels like a perfect Sunday morning experience, something that invites solitude and reflection with a warm cup of tea or what have you in your hand. There’s this slowness that allows the purity of the melody to rise through the tune, and once its riddled with the patient crawl of the vocals you’re greeted with something that wouldn’t seem out of place on the B-side of a Galaxie 500 recording. The duo are early on in their writing process, but you can definitely hear that they’re onto something pure if you click play below.

The Burning Hell Share Bottle of Chianti, Cheese and Charcuterie Board

Leave a comment

Although the song’s title might be a little long-winded, I’m completely enjoying the playfulness of the new single from the Burning Hell; it recalls a sillier time in the indie rock pantheon, landing somewhere between early Of Montreal and the Blow…maybe even a sprinkle of Architecture in Helsinki. The musical craft is built around some synthetic stabbings, buzzing and bouncing in the right spots; things switch often enough in their tone that the track feels fresh for its entirety, which seems like a rarity. You’ll find extra joy with the way the vocals overlap throughout, layering catchy melodies atop one another without a care in the world. They will drop their Ghost Palace LP via You’ve Changed Records on March 7th.
