Thanks Light Drop Costa Rica Video

Leave a comment

As we were in the midst of the Summer season here in Texas, fellow Austinites Thanks Light dropped the charming little “Costa Rica” single, which we gladly covered for its beachy, sun-drenched joy. Now, as the weather locks us into the cold, and as we crave those beach vibes, the group have crafted a fun little video to celebrate the dream to “bring Costa Rica to me.” If you missed the tune the first go round, this gives you a chance to bask in the natural warmth, then give a special shoutout to the band’s own Zane Ruttenberg who animated the video. Get warm!

New Music from Cootie Catcher

Leave a comment

We’ve been covering Cootie Catcher for a couple of years now, and we’re really happy to hear the group have gotten their due, signing up to work with Carpark Records. While we’d certainly pigeonhole the group as an indiepop act, which we adore, this new single hints at their ability to branch out into the larger realm of guitar pop. There are moments in the chorus of this new hit where they take on some punchier guitar riffs and almost sounds as if they’d fit right along a listening station for the Beths. Using a mixture of this and their springier guitar bounce guarantees that anything the group puts out will be on our radar!

Monnone Alone Shares St. Mary’s Pass Video

Leave a comment

Right as Summer hit here in Texas (well probably later, since Texas Summer starts in March) Mark Monnone and his Monnone Alone project released Here Comes the Afternoon, another LP of really delightful pop songs. Admittedly, I covered a single here or there, but didn’t delve too far into it, other than my own repeated listens. Today, there’s a new video from standout track, “St Mary’s Pass,” which harkens back to the steadied pop rock that Mark’s always brought his fans. The subtle horn in the song really cemented as one of my favorite recent pieces from the group, as it’s just this kind little blast that supports the vocal and totally endears itself to listeners. All of the LP is available now from Lost and Lonesome!

Magic Fig Share Flammarion

Leave a comment

Somewhere in the realm of dreamy psychedelia lives the sounds of Magic Fig; they’ve incorporated little sprinkles of electronic dreamy pop, not too far off from a Stereolab, then filled the noise behind with these little nods to prog rock and psychedelia. It creates this sense of wonderment that continuously has you rewinding to see if you can revisit the nuanced notes beneath the surface. Around the 4 minute mark you get this guitar excursion, which seemed really fitting, kind of letting the song cascade out to a blissful close. The group should certainly be on your radar as they prepare to release Valerian Tea on November 21st via Exploding in Sound.

Living Hour Release Internal Drone Infinity

Leave a comment

Happy Release Day to Living Hour! Their new child, Internal Drone Infinity is out in the world today, courtesy of Keeled Scales, Paper Bag and Beloved Records. What better way to celebrate a new record than by dropping a new video for one of the more gentle tunes on the LP. This song works in contrast to some of the earliest singles, operating in a pretty stark format, though the strained power can only be contained for a period of time, as it briefly shines around the 4 minute mark. But, for the most part, it’s a reserved bit of guitar pop, allowing the lyricism and the magnificence of Sam Sarty’s voice to soar through your speakers. Really a must have Friday listen, if you ask me!

InnerInnerLife Prep IfOnly

Leave a comment

Before you settle into your day, you’re best served with a pleasant sit outside, soaking in the world around you while you sip your tea or coffee, and with that, you might just like some light accompaniment, the sort innerinnerlife is providing on their latest single. The Polish artist crafts really delicate ambient pop, and when he slips into the vocal work on this tune, the casual cool makes some references to any number of electronic indie acts (though I hear bits of Radio Dept). It’s a pensive piece, and one that allows you just let your mind get swept away, where anything goes and nothing else matters but the moment. If Only. Thew new LP, IfOnly is out on November 7th.

Matt Pryor Offers The Dishonesty

Leave a comment

The music of Matt Pryor is permanently etched inside my brain; I have several albums of his lyrics probably stenciled on the walls of my skull so that I’ll never forget them. So, with a new album on the way, I’m always going to lend an ear to Matt’s work; he approaches everything with sincerity, often openly admitting to his own mistakes as he’s traversed a career as a musician and a human being. If you’re looking for lyrical content, it’s pretty clear that the song revolves around how our own selfishness (whether its drugs, narcissism, workaholics, etc) can often hit those we love the hardest. Maybe it’s a reminder that we’re all still growing and improving (I hope). Look for Matt’s new LP, the Salton Sea, will be out on November 14th via Big Scary Monsters/Nightshoes Syndicate.

Sharp Pins Release I Don’t Have the Heart

Leave a comment

Any time that Kai Slater releases a song you better believe that everyone’s going to turn their attention towards it, and today with a new Sharp Pins track, our ears are enjoying the sweet sounds. There’s a definite leaning towards an old school garage jangle here, though he throws in some creative moments where the tune takes a little discursion, like near the 1:35 mark where he goes almost pure pop, or at least as far towards pop as Slater’s willing to go; it’s these little twists and turns that make him so unique as a songwriter, as he seems to pull from a wealth of musical allusions while building a soundscape all his own. His new effort, Balloon Balloon Balloon will be out on November 21st via K Records/Perennial.

The Wesleys Drop Magic Wand Video

Leave a comment

As previously mentioned on these here pages, the heralded label of Meritorio Records is busy this week, and after an early jam, we’re back with the latest from the label…a new video from the Wesleys. This tune’s a bit of a pop punch, giving you this frenetic jangle kick with snappy drums and quick guitar rips. There’s something in the sound that feels like a balance between Rolling Blackout Coastal Fever and Ducks Ltd, with a mixture of the two feeling like the bands perfect balance. There’s a couple of little mini guitar solos that remind us of just solid guitar pop in their construction, and reminds me of the purity of the genre. Not to mention, its all strung together with this excellent video! Their new release, Explosive Device, is ready for your enjoyment on November 7th.

Skloss Share Veto Powder

Leave a comment

After dropping The Pattern Speaks, Skloss are back at it this year with a brand new single, bringing their thunderous brand of psychedelia to the masses. Sandy’s heavy guitar wailing continuously builds this massive wave of noise that shatters the cones in your speakers, but it only works with Karen’s drum work. Every song they play, she’s banging those drums like its the last set on Earth and she’s determined to break it into pieces. They offer some heavily affected vocals this round, bringing in a bit of that sort of interstellar-psych mood into the picture. They’re currently over in the UK hitting a few shows, then they come back to win over audiences at Levitation!
