New Music from Brad Laner

Brad Laner probably has his name thrown around with Medicine far too often. While the old shoegase troupe had a decent following, Brad’s been busy working on other project ever since. He’s readying a new 12″ where he’s accompanied by the Norwegian group Joensuu 1685, and the first listen we have is remarkable. There’s a slight fuzz on the vocals, knifing guitar harmonies, and an element of darkness that he’s added to the cover of this classic Chicago track. For those of us with a nostalgic pop leaning, this looks to be an effort that will cure all your ills. You can grab the 12″ now via Hometapes.

New Music from Berlinist

It’s hard to get a good grip on what’s going on overseas, but our friends over at Bad Panda sent us this sweet new single today from Spanish group Berlinist. While the band works on their debut, I thought I’d give you a little taste of what we all have in store. Musically, this is a sparse track, with just a bit of sampled percussive sounds used merely as soft accompaniment from the vocals. Yet, the song eventually begins to add more depth, and the echoes have that recorded quality as if they were taken in an empty warehouse. It all has an incredible effect when given the right chance, which has us really excited to see what the group comes up with next.
