Broncho Release I Swear Video

Leave a comment

I don’t know what’s in the water, but the new Broncho stuff is totally my vibe right now. They’ve changed up the construction, and while there’s clearly their usual pop sentiment, there’s this fogginess that drips across the singles we’ve heard, like the tune below. They even take that into the way their video footage is being shot, incorporating that into the wash of the film. You’ll also find a slight little tonal shift around the 1:40 mark that really solidifies the track’s pop sentiment, twisting it into a momentary bedroom pop gem. They’ll release Natural Pleasure, the new LP, on April 25th. They’ve got huge tour dates from June through August, with a July 18th date here in Austin at the Mohawk!

Baker Island Release Stone Age Riot

Leave a comment

When I ran through the new Stone Age Riot EP from Newcastle’s Baker Island, there was something that reminded me of Los Campesinos, though with a more sedated rock presence. Their verses are rather modern, kind of indifferent in their presentation, like the on this single down below; this approach allows the group to really set up the chorus, which is where their boisterous nature kicks into gear. It’s punchy, clearly moving forward as the entirety of the song just lifts off in the chorus; this is what big pop moments were made for, at least in my eyes. If you’re enjoying their spritely rock n’ roll, check out all of the new EP, available to stream now!

Ty Segall Announces Posession

Leave a comment

I likely don’t jam to Ty Segall as much as I once did, but it’s always nice to check in on one of the most prolific artists progress, especially as he announces his new LP, Possession, today. Our opening listen sees him traveling back to the power ballads of classic rock, working on a bouncing organ and thumping bass to set the musical scene. It’s interesting to listen to a track where Ty’s guitar work is not the selling point, at least not in a lot of the verses, as that’s where I feel like he made his bread in the early days. That said, the latter half of the song sees him break into more of the expected jam territory, letting the guitar free into the world and driving forth with a bit of emphasis. His new album will be out on May 30th via Drag City.

New Club Coma Single

Leave a comment

I meant to run this on Friday, but as I hope our friend Geoff in Club Coma understands, that dad life gets in the way sometimes. This Austin outfit is, like many of late, fusing club vibes and rock n’ roll, and they do so with this powerful brand of rock n’ roll, particularly if you catch the group in the live set (like we did at our SXSW party last night). They pull in a bit more of an R&B meets pop in their recording, then drive those rock riffs through the roof when they hit the stage. It’s not an act looking for a crossover, just a handful of great musicians fusing their love of genres into this huge musical delight. Try a sample.

Club 8 Drop Monthly Single

Leave a comment

For the last year, plus, Sweden’s Club 8 have delighted us with pop tune after pop tune, and it looks as if they’ll continue that pattern in 2025, dropping a new jam every month. Their latest single is a little softer in its presence, pulled back from the boisterous pop they’ve worked with…though you can easily connect the dots here. They pull their sound this go round from a nostalgic 80s movie set, setting up that bubbling yacht rock groove, letting the softness of the vocals bob atop the crafty pop waves coming through your speakers. Never a bad single from these Swedes.

Your 33 Black Angels Drop Shaggy & Joe

Leave a comment

New York’s Your 33 Black Angels have been at it for quite some time, and in that, they’ve had my ear for a good portion of their career, mixing up club vibes with pop sentimentality…just my brand. Their latest single offers a glimpse of what we will hear when they release Eternities II this April. As expected, it opens with this dense bit of glitches and bops, driving you to your own personal dance club. But, then the vocals enter the picture, off set in their presentation, moving the song to a slower speed for a moment, only to kick in the pure bounce for the chorus. Reminds me of a coffee date between the Unicorns and Phoenix, with a bright solo celebrating their union as the song fades

Jangus Kangus Drops Double Lives

Leave a comment

It’s all about guitars and sunny riffs over here with Jangus Kangus; this song opens up like a fresh blossom on your favorite tree, which I’m hoping coincides with Spring time! The guitar notes on this song danced brightly from the get-go, magically spinning listeners before the vocals join in the party. While there’s some immediacy in this track, I appreciate the way they pull you back and forth, spring you forward with brightness, then pulling you back into a more contemplative realms of dreamy pop goodness. This is just another offering from their forthcoming debut LP, which is shaping up to be a nice ray of sunshine…look for it this April!

Strange Lounge Release New Single

Leave a comment

There’s not too much information floating about in regards to Strange Lounge, but I’ve been really enjoying their latest single. For some reason, it feels like a David Lynch film, like driving along that lost highway towards an unknown end. As much as that leaks through into the sound, they pull back the curtains on a countering vocal, offering a more ethereal female voice to work against the heavy darkness that operates on the surface. Musically, it’s all about the combination of that stabbing guitar note dancing along with the breakbeat that brings about the song’s lifeblood.

Exploding Flowers Release Across a Sea

Leave a comment

I’m awaiting my copy of Watermelon/Peacock in the mail, and yet I’m still completely excited there’s another early listen by way of their last single before the big drop from Exploding Flowers. Having adored the band since stumbling upon their last LP, this tune feels like the connecting piece of pop that’s going to make the listen to spectacular. It’s got this casualness or effortlessness to it, bringing out gentle nods of warmth and slightly obscured jangles on the back of a bouncing drum beat. It seems fitting as an album closer too, as it breezily whips from your speakers and out into the world, leaving you with this global yearning that hopefully brings brighter days. Grab a copy of the new LP from Meritorio Records today!

Perennial Return with Perennial 65′

Leave a comment

One of the most exciting acts I caught last year at SXSW was Perennial; they were perhaps the single best live performance I caught of the whole festival…following that up with the excellent Art History. They’ve quietly returned to the masses today with a brand new single and a new EP on the horizon, with the promise of a British invasion nod in their stylings. Listening through this first track, it kind of sounds like an early International Noise Conspiracy tune, working with a bluesy verse then erupting with an emphatic punch in the chorus. This is the rock n’ roll you’re here for! Perennial 65′ drops on April 4th.
