Casual Technicians Announce Deeply Unworthy

Leave a comment

If you’re coming to our site, you generally jam a certain style of music, and with that, we want to make sure you’ve got Casual Technicians on your radar. They only released their debut LP a few months ago, and they’re already pushing forward with a fresh batch of tunes for us. When diving into this sea, you’ll be greeted by a nice little bob atop the waters, offering up a nice vibe, though nothing strikingly new. But, at the 25 second mark there’s a plot twist, offering up a different vocal that seems more earnest, and slightly Aussie influenced. They switch it up back and forth, always employing a snapping beat that kicks your feet up, and still pandering to those of us who think of Flying Nun as the Holy Grail. Deeply Unworthy is out November 1st via Repeating Cloud.

Sumos Share Hunting Tracks

Leave a comment

After teasing us all week with hints of new music, Sumos did drop their darling new ditty, doing what they do best by executing perfect pop tunes. Everything functions on the steady strum and beat, almost operating as the musical metronome for your toes to keep the beat. And, once you’ve matched your internal rhythm, you can rest while the vocals offer up one of the brightest pop performances you’re going to get into today. When you hear the utterance of “one of these days,” you’ll hear the soaring of angels, rising to the highest stretched note, albeit with a charming sharpness that perfects the tune. Can’t wait to hear a new record from this lot.

Blood Share Holy Family Single

Leave a comment

When press first came out concerning the new Blood album, it promised to have Tim O’Brien really stretching himself, vocally. There was a little bit on the earlier singles, but “Holy Family” has this dark majesty that fulfills all the promise of Tim exploring his voice. At the beginning, it’s quite fragile, almost beautifully pained, tip-toeing around a light strum and bending nuanced notes. Pronounced percussion comes to rescue, punching through the mix momentarily, but it only seems to make O’Brien withdraw further, hiding behind the textured density the group have built up here. Of all the power the the band possess, they seem to kind of control that chaos, making magic in the process. Loving You Backwards is out next Friday via Ramp Local.

Feeling Figures Drop Doors Wide Open

Leave a comment

After last year’s Migration Magic, you can say that expectations are extremely high over at the ATH offices for this forthcoming LP from Feeling Figures. This new single definitely ramps up the energy, delivering an exciting bit of ramshackle pop, packed with as much as one band can cram into 1:43. Kay’s vocals just rip through the song, working with a bit of sharp playfulness, which delivers a bounce that snaps in step with joyous rhythmic push. Then as the song feels settled they cut right through with this little soloing guitar wiggle that just crushes your soul and makes you sink right into the glory of this pop number. Everything Around You is out on September 27th via K Records/Perennial Death.

Hallo Return with Worth It All

Leave a comment

Starting off our morning slowly today, crawling out of bed to find this delightful new track from Austin’s Hallo. The group are finishing up the final touches on their debut album, and deliver this powerhouse of a tune, drawn to the fire of Tiana Stuart’s powerful voice. Those vocals operate between a Texas twang and a more angelic push, while the band behind her forcefully punches down; I love the burning guitar distortion that fills the chorus moments. It sets up for a great breakdown in the track’s latter half, dropping hints at the fiery indie rock they’ll bring to the table when they wrap up that debut!

Geneva Jacuzzi Drops Scene Ballerina Video

Leave a comment

Dropping into my afternoon, and dropping into some pure nostalgia as we bump this new track from Geneva Jacuzzi. The lyrical content is all about that one person who always steps up to steal the spotlight, take the attention…and probably ruin someone’s night. But, musically, its pure glitzy pop, straight out of the Madonna playbook. The beat matches up with the punctuated vocal delivery of the verse, then the tonal vocal change certainly feels like it channels the old-school approach. There’s even some spoken word layering beneath, which definitely feels Madge-esque. A fun tune as you dance about and get ready to grab a copy of Triple Fire, out August 23rd via Dais Records.

Eazyhead Share Narcissist Single

Leave a comment

Manila band Eazyhead have already graced our Internet pages, and their latest single continues to seem them spiraling down the the stairwell of hedonistic psychedelia. Thumping grooves build the foundation at the start, with guitar lines bending and shaking, scraping the edges of your speakers as they crawl through to open up into the jangling swirl of thundering psychedelia. You get to dive into the cloud-filled room with the band, scorching guitar riffs echoing about the walls while they allow for the vocals to crawl across the floor of the tune. Their new album Personal Echo Chamber has the makings of a true psychedelic experience, so look for its release via Dedstrange on August 23rd.

Friends of Our Youth Share Problem Is Single

Leave a comment

This Manchester outfit is rolling back the years, hitting a brand of pop rock that maybe recalls the indie scene of the late 00s. That said, Friends of Our Youth are pulling off the style with bravado and sincerity that made this the perfect tune to crank up early in the morning, particularly as the sun’s peeking out for the first time in a few days. I hear elements of acts that we love, like Mystery Jets, taking sort of a garage rock sound and softening it up a bit to deliver the hooks; I mean, the way the chorus shuffles then unloads melody is absolutely splendid. Perfect way to kick off a Wednesday.

Tiffy Shares Mirror Single

Leave a comment

Was looking for something a little fuzzy and a little catchy, so glad that I stumbled into this new jam from Boston’s Tiffy. I loved the jagged riffs that worked right into a bait-and-switch, puling back to let the verse open up with a bit more sweetness. There’s a bit of crunchiness, making it just rock n’ roll enough for the cool kids to whet their appetite, though it certainly swirls about in this twister of pop sensibility. Plus, everyone deserves bonus points when they just smash down the back half of the tune with walls of joy and noise! Tiffy will drop the 2 EP on August 2nd.

Soot Sprite Share Home Among Your Bones

Leave a comment

Having already covered the A side to the new 7″ from UK’s Soot Sprite, it feels apt that we should also share the B side, as that’s now available with the full release out. While “I Went Swimming” has this sharp bite to it, you’ll find “Home Among Your Bones” a bit more like a soothing bit of aloe on a freshly burned bit of skin; it shimmers with warm melody from Elise Cook, while the band build up this little dose of texture give depth to the bedroom pop vibe. They save the loudest bits for the punctuated end, so be sure to stick through until the close, and grab a copy from Specialist Subject!
