More New Music from Leatherette

Leave a comment

You know I love to keep you up to date on the Italian scene, and one of my favorite groups overseas is Leatherette, who’ve just dropped another jam from their forthcoming Ritmo Lento LP. This track specializes in a blend of slowcore and post-punk, creating this wash that lets you soak in the waves of guitar as they nip at your ears again and again. I’m also a big fan of the way the group kind of combine their vocal work, all of the voices coming together to really deliver an emphatic bit of last minute joy. The new LP is out on November 28th via Bronson Recordings.

Night Teacher Share World to Close + Drop Year of the Snake

Leave a comment

Mondays are great for reflection, and in that spirit, I’m circling back to some old emails and releases like the recent LP from Night Teacher. I’ll admit, the single below is good, but it avoids immediacy, begging you to follow singer Lilly Bechtel’s vocal moves, calling to you like some sort of folk siren, waiting to smash your ship to pieces. That eruption does jump in, beautifully executed at the 1:29 mark where it bursts forth which such force that I immediately opened up the old laptop to start writing. It’s a really great jam, and once you fall in love below, you’ll want to skip over to hear Year of the Snake, the new LP that just dropped!

Emma Russack Shares New Single

Leave a comment

I missed out on the first new single from Emma Russack, one of my favorite songwriters from the Aussie scene; she’s got a new EP titled 5 Timothee Chalamet Instagram Captions coming out in a few weeks, and I’m definitely loving this new single. If you listen, it almost feels like a little country ballad penned here in Texas, with a kind of wayward swing to it, punctuated by Emma’s sparkling voice. As a middle school teacher, the double entendre of the song isn’t lost on me (nor my students who find it hilarious). As always, her songwriting craft and charms as an artist are on full display; the new EP is out on November 21st via Dinosaur City.

Leilani Patao Shares Portrait + Releases Daisy

Leave a comment

Over the last few years, Audio Antihero has been gathering up a solid stable of acts of great songwriting, such as Frog. Today, they release a new Ep from Leilani Patao, and I was really drawn to the track below, so felt like we could start you on the right foot today. It’s a slow burn, with the vocals and guitar work really low in their presentation; there is a little vocal lift that highlights Patao’s ability to weave in subtle melodies into her songwriting, and those little nuances are what will keep you coming back to Daisy. If you’re interested in the whole EP, you can stream the whole thing HERE.

Maraudeur Return with Syncope

Leave a comment

I’ve already been hyping the new Marauder LP, Flaschentrager, and you can now hear another gem of post-punk revelry to create your own anticipation. The infectiousness greets you immediately, snapping you into the groove with a bounding rhythm section that propels you into a full on body-boogie. The vocals embrace that sort of cavernous dissonance, operating like an echo fading in and out bf ghostly hallways. Upbeat and dark, you’ll come back to live off the energy of the tune again and again. Flaschentrager is out on next Friday via Feel It Records, and you’ll want to grab a copy!

 

Natalie Jane Hill Announces Hopeful Woman

Leave a comment

It seems like just yesterday that Natalie Jane Hill was wowing us with Azalea, her debut LP when she was in the Austin area. Here we are a few years later, and she’s got her third LP on deck, along with a new place to call home. It took me less than 20 seconds to fall in love with this single, as her heavy notes breathed life through my speakers. When her voice stretches for higher notes, there’s a lonesome bit of guitar hanging out in the distance, providing its own lonesome narrative to balance Natalie’s performance. As spirited as the first 2 minutes are, Hill switches it in the back 45 seconds, letting the thematic element of “never left me” dwell in the presence of the listener’s brain. Really excited ot hear more from Hopeful Woman, out via Dear Life Records on January 26.

Bliss Abyss Share Star

Leave a comment

When you open with a wall of noise, you get to pick your path; you can take the road to continued volume or peel back the layers and reveal that saccharine centerpiece. On the latest Bliss Abyss track, they go for the latter, though they keep the noise present, for when they need to kick it around in between verses. Those verses swing huge, packing an alt rock vibe that would have made the band a household name back in the 90s. For now, we can revel in their joyous melodies and feedback, grinning as the waves crash against us over and over again.

Kiwi Jr Are Back!

Leave a comment

We haven’t heard from Kiwi Jr since their 2022 album Chopper, but yesterday they popped back into our brains with fresh tunes. I think Jeremy Gaudet is one of those songwriters that come few and far between, toying with mundane source material and turning it into glorious pieces of poetry, not unlike Jason Lytle. Musically, the group are bringing their steady power-pop side into play, using chugging rhythms and angular notes to create indie vibe that feels like a train running out of steam as it heads to the cliff. Lots of buzz about this yesterday, and seeing as it’s my jam, I couldn’t let it pass without some love.

New Music from Kisses

Leave a comment

Seeing as I don’t currently live in Australia, it’s hard to keep up with the continually fruitful music scene, particularly that of Melbourne. Luckily, there are folks like the good people of Bedroom Suck Records, always sharing their latest discoveries, like the band Kisses. The group are crafting a blend of indie folk and slowcore, not unlike much of the fog pop from the Bay Area, though you can clearly hear the folk inclinations in the Aussie group’s sound, particularly with that violin sliding up and down the track. I loved how even in the slowest moments, the song finds its own movement, with just little brushes of the drums and a billowing vocal that quietly stuns. Can’t wait to see what the group comes up with next?

Pansy Share Walk Dangerous Video

Leave a comment

Really striking power pop songs are few and far between of late, but the best ones I’ve been listening to come from Pansy, the project of Vivian McCall. The band have dropped their latest tune, and already it’s getting rave reviews that we don’t disagree with here. Swinging guitar notes provide a charming bounce to the track, with vocal interplay adding to the crafty charms being employed throughout. I’m sure this makes zero sense to folks besides me, but it sounds like a weird mixture between Hunx and Built to Spill, with huge riffs and cleverness being belted out at every corner. Skin Graft is out this Friday.
