Tropical Fuck Storm Share Goon Show + Sign to Fire Records

Leave a comment

Seems as good a day as any to spend some times overseas with Aussie outfits, and here we are again with Melbourne’s Tropical Fuck Storm. The band have just announced their singing to Fire Records, along with a slew of tour dates and a brand new single. Gareth Liddiard vocals in the first half of the song set the tone, his voice marching to the thump of the percussion, intermittently offset by the backing chorus of Fiona and Erica for angelic contrast. Liddiard seems to be stomping out his notes, hitting metronomic stride as he delivers a world-weary viewpoint for this “golden age of assholes.” Those familiar with the group’s performances might also be curious as to the pop accessibility of the tune, but worry not, your moment comes in the tune’s latter half, as they offer up a barrage of noise and left-turns. Keep an eye out for the band as they make their way Stateside in June/July.

George Children Prep Kitchen Sink Drama

Leave a comment

If you’re going to hit the road, one of the best ways to make a little extra cash is to have solid merch on hand. So, with a tour on the schedule for George Children, they’ve prepped the Kitchen Sink Drama EP, which will only be available on their West Coast tour…or via Dandy Boy Records! This song feels like looking out onto the world, searching for any signs of positivity (as I’m sure we’re all doing right now); it operates with this uplifting guitar strum, as Jordan Chipman narrates a car ride with a “beautiful stranger.” It’s light in nature, but some notes just dig deep into your soul, and this is one such song. You can grab the new EP by catching the band live, or grab the cassette before its February 20th release date.

Low Monroe Releases Deviant Hotline Video

Leave a comment

While we admit to throwing certain generic modifiers into a lot of posts (unfairly so, occasionally), but as unfortunate as that can be, there’s no better way to turn you onto Low Monroe than by depicting them as the bastard child of Bauhaus and Joy Division. When listening to their new “Deviant Hotline” tune, you can hear the darkness, but like the aforementioned Manchester outfit, there’s a buoyancy to the shadows, particularly in the drive of the rhythm section. Guttural vocal tones give you that intoxicating stomach knot, built upon anxiety and primal desires, coating the tune in this ominous texture. You deserve post-punk like this. Go ahead, get lost in the darkened corners of this great jam.

Triathalon Announces Funeral Music

Leave a comment

Out of a period of heartbreak, hardship and ruminating on memorial service music, Triathalon have come out swinging for their new album, Funeral Music. Their balancing act between heavy riffs and gently whisper-sung vocals is absolutely perfect; they even use these screaming squalls of feedback to shoot across like sonic stars of noise that break through. It’s like a metal song, but with personality; take the twinkling little key notes and the ebb/flow of vocal tones and there’s this brilliant heavy pop song just hang out there perfectly. Each crest and crash just fills every inch of space with absolute power, and if I’m being honest, this might be the jam of the week…and we’re just getting started! The new LP is out May 16th via Lex Records.

Wails Drop Lights Out Single

Leave a comment

While the Austin scene started off the year on a roll, we look East towards our H-Town neighbors to talk about Wails, as they drop a brand new single that’s been on rotation throughout the weekend. There’s this circular ring to the track, offering up an atmosphere that reverberates from start to finish; it sets the song up perfectly with a warmth that supports the vocals. That voice tiptoes in the midst of the misty center, seemingly rising up to meet some punctuated percussive elements, all of it swelling and textured with a beautiful wall of drama. You’ll find the track on the group’s next EP, which will be out this Spring!

Carla Aakre Shares Life

Leave a comment

Over in Finland, Carla Aakre has been making quite a name for herself, with a handful of singles to her name, she’s readying her debut LP, Things I Forgot to Tell You. On this new jam, you can hear her employ a softened folk approach, though similar to many US acts, she’s filling the space behind her lead guitar with these incendiary licks, allowing the texture of the song to develop the earworm that you hear below. For me, I love how you can hear it either way, as a traditional songwriter fare, or as something with a bigger vibe. We’ll have to wait until May 2nd to find out where she goes on the new album!

Lowmoon Drops Won’t Change Your Mind Video

Leave a comment

Been a bit all over the musical map this morning, with a little of this and a little of that, but really excited for the dream pop vibes on this new single from Lowmoon. The Yorkshire-based project is certainly crafting some nostalgia, albeit in a much more modern presentation. Drums have this snazzy sharpness that creates this rhythmic pulse that glues all the pieces together; you get jangling guitars and melodies galore that climb through your speakers, all of it working well within the delightful contrast of the two vocal styles on display. This is the perfect Friday dance track you’ve been seeking, and it’ll be on the new Cathedrals LP, out April 25th via Safe Suburban Home Records.

Tom Henry Drops Art House

Leave a comment

While you’re getting bombarded by all the great releases today, you’ll also find some little treasures in the music world of singles, like this new Tom Henry track. Something in the craft of this song finds me reminiscing on my childhood growing up and listening to 50s rock n’ roll songs, though you can also kind of hear bits of Costello or Lowe in the delivery. That natural boogie inclination shouldn’t be discarded, with a ditty-worthy exploding in the chorus where you’re drawn into a classic doo-wop vibe; you’ll want to grab your Valentine and swing them about your living quarters. Henry will release Songs to Sing and Dance To on June 27th via Royal Oakie.

Echo Delay Give You A Moment of Joy

Leave a comment

There are a lot of really great albums coming out this week, and for me, the one that’s probably sliding under your radar is this new LP from Denmark’s Echo Delay. They’re playing with psychedelic tropes, particularly in the first minute of guitar noodling here. But, then while that aura maintains the status quo, the vocals come into play as a kind of quieted public speech; they’re seemingly spoken, rather than sung, with some vocal effects creating this disorienting gloriousness you’ll dive right into. So, if slow burning psychedelia seems to be your thing, sneak around through the caverns of The Second Bardo and you’ll be sure to uncover treasures!

Cross Record Drops God Fax Video

Leave a comment

While the fragility of Cross Record‘s work was on full display with Charred Grass, the new single from the forthcoming Crush Me illustrates the artistry Emily and company have put into the new album. In the opening minute and a half, you get this punch in the gut, this sort of musical equivalent to losing your breath as Cross sneaks her poetry into the distance. There are moments when the sound is so discordant that you can’t even believe that it’s Cross Record, but perhaps thats the point, as the lyrical content seems to revolve around a somber moment. Crush Me will be out on March 21st via Ba Da Bing.
