Shrapnel Announce Sedan Crater + Share New Video

Leave a comment

When Shrapneldropped their 2021 LP Alasitas, it got a lot of coverage (and plays) on our end of things over here, so when an email came in with a fresh single and an album announce, I was ready to share…and here we are. This new jam jumps right on, twisting jangling guitars into hook-laden distortion machines wielding pop sensationalism for the masses. As the energy ebbs and flows, you can see the band working on their own axe wielding tricks, playing with organized robotics that strike the emphatic notes in all the right spots. They’ll be releasing Sedan Crater on January 31st via Tenth Court, and we’ll keep you posted as more singles pop out!

Good Morning Announce Surprise LP

Leave a comment

RayRay and I love Good Morning, and in fact, I even took the band to grab an Arma-delo the last time they were in Austin, so we’ve got to get behind the announcement of a surprise second LP from the group in 2024. It’s a meandering 8 minute pop rock track, embracing the title by just floating through the ether and coolly hitting your ears; it could even be considered easy listening, if you were into that sort of thing…which we are! Don’t be scared away by the length, as they fill that space with plenty of musicality and vocals, so it’s more like a classic Good Morning pop song, stretched for your benefit. The Accident will be out on November 29th.

Kim Deal Share Nobody Loves You More

Leave a comment

I know Kim Deal‘s been at the songwriting game for decades, but I’ll be honest, I didn’t expect to love her new solo effort quite as much as I do, at least based upon the singles we’ve heard. This go round, there’s more of a switch to a ballad format, eventually erupting into a full swing arrangement that buoys the overall vibe. It begins with Deal working atop a snappy percussive element and elegant string work, using her voice to create the emotional pull; it’s a quiet performance, but one that feels like it’s the sort of glue that will tie the whole LP together. There’s a burst of horns and strings, and you feel like she’s in the Copa, but it settles, closing with the more pensive performance where the tune began. Nobody Loves You More is out this Friday via 4AD.

Wylderness Offer Big Idea

Leave a comment

A few years removed from their last record, Big Plans for a Blue World, Cardiff outfit Wylderness return with a wonderful Monday morning single for your ears. I’m definitely infatuated with the guitar sound, primarily the way it dances into the opening moments, setting the tone for the rhythm to join and add their emphatic touch. Each vocal note seems to hang in the air, waiting to fall upon the listener’s ears. The balance between those angular ringing guitar lines and the angelic vocals is the perfect balance, creating that natural sense of longing to be part of something greater than yourself…the perfect Monday offering. Look for a new EP in 2025 from this lot.

Products Band Share Steady/Sugarless

Leave a comment

We spent a lot of time spreading the world on Some Sudden Weather, the last LP from Products Band, so we were excited to hear there was a fresh tune from the Minneapolis outfit. Trickling in with a quieted vocal, the song erupts with a crash of distortion that rip right through your speakers. As the tune pushes forward, the song pushes this bit of urgency, driving the vocals into higher pitches as the song builds and builds, only to halt suddenly. Then its over. You’ll have to go back and press play again and again to fully digest the littlest nuances that make this a solid Friday jam session.

Casual Technicians Offer This Emotion + Release New LP

Leave a comment

Perhaps one album a year isn’t enough, or so say Casual Technicians, who release their brand new LP today (I’ll have it in a streams post later), but wanted to shout out this single. It’s the closing track, and in a sense, reminds me of early works from Peter and the Wolf, sort of operating that bedroom jam lo-fi folk vibe. Guitars are light and the production feels minimal, but the songwriting and emotion gets its hooks in you, even offering up some slight little oddball moments. This is the sort of wistful folk you deserve on a Friday, so be sure to check out all of Deeply Unworthy, out today via Repeating Cloud.

Icarus Phoenix Shares Old Sleep Singer

Leave a comment

Just a few months ago Icarus Phoenix released I Should Have Known the Things You Never Said, and Drew Danburry has shown no signs of slowing down after that LP, releasing a slew of singles and plans for a Children’s Book/Album on the horizon. This track is a response to Josaleigh Pollett’s “Sad Old Sleep Singers,” but it seems more of a celebration of the people that lift you up when shit hit the fan. No need to dive too far into details, as the lyrical content puts it on the table, but we’ve got to find our own support system, our own way to crawl out of the hole. What? You thought I wouldn’t get you in your feelings on a Friday?

 

David Israel Releases Diane Video

Leave a comment

If you go way back, like six years back, our friend David Israel let us help him get The Year That Felt Like Two out into the world, and we were more than happy to be part of it! David has popped up today with a new single, and as devoted fans/friends, we had to send your way. If you’ve never heard David’s work, you’ll find yourself engrossed in the power of his voice, dark and stormy, yet shaded by his eternal kindness. His wordplay is also a rarity, working between pure poetry and the idiosyncrasies of outsider pop. Enjoy this new song, and if you’re in the Austin neck of the woods…there’s a show tonight at Hole in the Wall to celebrate the single!

Peaer Shares Just Because

Leave a comment

It’s been a hot second since we last heard from NYC based Peaer. Since the stellar album A Healthy Earth back in 2019, the band has been relatively quiet with sparse live shows and few updates. After the lull, you can imagine one fan boys excitement when news came in this morning of a fresh single called “Just Because” with the promise of some live dates as well. The ATH crew is always down for this new wave of post-emo, intricate instrumentation type of vibes, so you had to know we’d share this one today.

Stay tuned for more from Peaer in 2025. “Just Because” is available below or via all streaming platforms.

Fantastic Purple Spots Announce Spotsylvania Lullabies EP

Leave a comment

Things have slowed down a little bit at ATH Records, as dad life is in full bloom, but we were fortunate to begin this year by offering up Fantastic Purple Spots Vibrations Now EP; we decided there’s no better way to end the year than to introduce you to Spotsylvanian Lullabies, the group’s new EP. Opening track “Flowerland” has them jumping into the pastoral version of traditional psychedelia, weaving a marauding bit of guitar sounds around a steadily locked in groove; you have to settle right and just let those fiery riffs echo in your speakers. The second vocal go round has some quieted backing vocals, building in this beautiful texture, letting this groove take on a slight hint at melody as it broods. We’re stoked the band has let us work with them yet again, and we’ll be happy to point you towards Spotsylvanian Lullabies when it drops on December 6th.
