Trauma Ray Share Bardo Single

Leave a comment

This new Trauma Ray record is going to get a lot of play at my house, and this new single sees them reaching back into my own early listening habits as a teenage, bringing back to the present. The track wastes no time in hammering you with noise, hurtling riffs right at you as they lock into a pseudo-metal thrash. Still, there’s something in their craft that reveals little melodic moments, sort of like the light shining under a door in a darkened hallway; it reminds me a lot of when Deftones switched to more melodic notes during White Pony, but were still able to bring the noise. They release Chameleon on October 25th via Dais.

Eliot Eidelman Shares Silhouette Video

Leave a comment

This new Eliot Eidelman song is fantastic; it’s just a generally good song, and saying that, probably doesn’t do the track justice. Maybe I could tell you that Evan from Wand, etc plays and records the tunes, but even then, that’s all hype. So, when I was listening through, and watching the video, I reveled in the performance. The song works with this steady trot, taking a light strum then building it into something that operates with a bit more force and the subtlest backing vocal. All good things, but please dive into the video, embrace the fun. Eliot offers up a silliness that, unfortunately, seems rarer these days; he’s joyous whilst still penning a solid tune, and that’s made my day. Sure, the world’s a hellhole and hurtling downward, and while I spend far more time on that negativity, Eidelman reminded me of the goofball that I hope is all inside of us. And, he did it while offering up a jam you’ll keep coming back to, again and again. This tune is the title track from Silhouette, which drops on January 1st!

Unlettered Share She Is Inside You

Leave a comment

Are we at Friday yet? No, well, if you’re getting a little angsty trying to get over the edge and into the weekend, might I suggest digging into this track from Unlettered. While there’s this forceful growl working in the foreground, you get to hear disorienting riffs bend and break in the far off distance, twisting the song around the mantra-like vocal delivery. Just as your ears adjust, the tune speeds up before the 3 minute mark, switching directions, with a more prominent bit of attitude driving the track to its dark, distorted close. This song appears on the group’s new album, Five Mile Point, out on November 22nd.

Henrik Appel Offers Nothing to Lose

Leave a comment

Already being a fan of Henrik Appel won’t set you up for his powerful new ballad; it’s something wholly enchanting, of the sort that you let close down your night. There’s also this sense of grandeur in the craft, using a huge piano track and Appel’s cooled delivery to create this intimate bravado. At times, it feels like a B-side on a Rolling Stones record, easily slipping into a more subtle format that highlights the elegant craft Henrik’s pulled off this go round. Really looking forward to spending a few hours with Shadows; the record drops on November 1st via PNKSLM.

Tunng Announce Love You All Over Again

Leave a comment

When I look over my various musical tastes, I generally don’t consider folktronica to be something that really brings me in…that is unless we’re talking about Tuung. To me, the UK outfit, sounds like a version of Architecture in Helsinki that you might listen to at a Renaissance Faire. They love overlapping melodies, combining and pulling apart from one another to build a bit of contrast, using the electronic elements to texturize the track and even add just a little playfulness to the entirety. Honestly, if I were to film a tale of fairies in a futuristic setting, I sure as hell hope this lot would do the score; it’s whimsical and sophisticated, and I’m penciling in Love You All Over Again for a release to keep an eye on when it drops in January of next year!

Dustin James Shares Paper Star

Leave a comment

As we draw nearer the Winter season, we’re all likely looking for music to hibernate to, music you can wrap around you and find warmth and solace. Today, that music has come early, by way of Dustin James; he’s released the first single and title track from the forthcoming Paper Star LP. There are overlapping guitar lines, one sort of like a journeying leaf, floating through the stream of strumming that holds the track together; they intermingle, dancing and swirling together atop a quieted beat. James’ vocals, too, feel like a rolling seasonal change, hanging on the edge of the cold, beckoning to come inside and sit by the fire. Paper Star drops on October 22nd.

Pets Share Fixed Taunt

Leave a comment

There were a few sprinkles of Austin act Pets that came to my attention (you can check them by clicking on the band’s hyperlink). But, with that being said, I didn’t expect the band to come out of the gate and rule like this new single does. They’re operating with this melodic dissonance, oftentimes working with this speediness that evolves into blissed out moments of an ethereal nature…particularly when the vocals seem to just hang in the air, almost lifelessly, before crashing back into the core of the song. If you’re driving around Austin, looking to find what rips, well, this is it. Crank it up and dig in. Hopefully there’s more real soon!

Lily Seabird Signs to Lame-O Records

Leave a comment

After the excellent Alas dropped, it makes sense that Vermont’s Lily Seabird would pop up more often in the scene, and with that, she’s announced today that she’s signed with Lame-O Records. The label will reissue that LP, with a bonus Acoustic EP, featuring two new songs, one which we’ve got below. You’ll press play, then you’ll be hurtled into the depths of the songwriting, as careful strums accent the striking vocal performance; it has this huge personality, though if you listen carefully, you can almost hear the vocals as they’re pulled from the depths of Lily’s soul. If you. missed Alas, then you can stream it all HERE. The reissue will be out on November 15th.

Alpaca Sports Return with Tomorrow I’ll Be Fine

Leave a comment

It’s been a minute since we last heard from Swedish popsters, Alpaca Sports, but they return in a huge way on their brand new single. They’re channeling that soulful jangle that most folks associated with Sarah or C86, and while I can certainly hear those moments shining through, the vocal harmonies craft something a lot more recent. To me, and I’m only one person, they kind of seem like the culmination of studying the melodic constructs of Pains of Being Pure at Heart; they strip the structure in order to offer the saccharine side, leaving us with this glittery pop gem that is currently stuck bouncing inside my head. We’re being told there’s a new album on the horizon, courtesy of Elefant.

Slack Times Share Coattails Single

Leave a comment

Looking back again at last week’s great releases, we felt like we couldn’t let Meritorio Records hog all the headlines, so we saved this Slack Times track for you, as nothing is likely to sweeten a ditty from this trio. After a little bit of a lineup change, they’ve really honed in on their craft, taking a walk down the slow-burning that resembles a bit of the fog-pop scene of current San Francisco, or maybe even the nostalgic wayward jangles of Galaxie 500. Honestly, if there’s anything to be upset about, it’s the fact that their new Gone Things EP only has 4 songs; it drops on Friday!
