New Single from MIEN

Leave a comment

It’s got to be a great feeling to be working with friends, as is the case with the members of MIEN (all who have heavy psych pedigrees); they seem to sort of let their influences billow and bear fruit when fitting, never staying in one place for too long. This new number is a hypnotic event, that for some reason feels like it’s some underwater Massive Attack move; Alex’s vocals have this quieted constraint, and the effects definitely give that vibe of being just beneath surface water. But, while that natural pulse makes its way, the song eventually erupts with bits of screaming fuzz, hanging out in the far distance as the edges get washed out through your speakers. Just a reminder their new self-titled LP is out on April 18th via Fuzz Club.

Another Jeffrey Lewis Single

Leave a comment

Next Friday the new Jeffrey Lewis album will drop for the masses, and before it hits, the label’s shared one more single to entice us, by way of a lyric video. After spending a lot of time this week watching rock n’ roll, Lewis’ style has this warming simplicity; it’s mostly operating with a heavy strum and a light tambourine jangle. His lyricism and distinctive delivery are on full display, with the lyrics rushing through to match the formatting of the video’s lyrical work. The tune is a reminder that adoring fans will be quite pleased when The Even More Freewheelin’ Jeffrey Lewis drops March 21st via Don Giovanni.

Munan Share Fake Love Friday

Leave a comment

South Korea is always churning out some incredible left of the dial sounds, and Munan is just another in a long line of artists that have caught our attention. On their latest single, there was an immediate familiarity to the guitar sounds, as it slides right alongside everything going on in the States today. Where they make it their own is turning inward with the vocals, sinking them a bit in the mix while the whole jam rolls over continuously; there’s something in their presence that feels like a little sparkling diamond in their textured sound. Propulsive, and yet, not. You’ll feel yourself lost in this one.

Cats of Transnistria Share Thunder as an Arrow

Leave a comment

We’ve been sitting on the sidelines and watching as Finnish outfit Cats of Transnistria prepare us for their new album. Today, they offer one final glimpse before we get to immerse ourselves in the cavernous realm they’ve built. Like the cloudy video, the song greets us with a heavy kick on the drums and a shroud of distorted guitar work, gently moving into the background as the vocals break through into their own angelic expo. Once the voice begins to take control, you can hear many of the nuanced details being put into play, from synthesized beats to harrowing wails of feedback, all of it building this huge composition. It’s slowcore, but with with much more noise! They release IV on March 21st via Soliti Music.

Double Wish Drop Seatbelt Single

Leave a comment

I love how we’ve seen so many acts revisiting tricks of the trip-hop trade, or even just incorporating house music into their brand of pop…it’s made for some interesting vibes, like this new Double Wish single. This new track from their Deeper Ecstasy EP has this sway to it, something akin to the haze atop the ocean waters in their home state of California. That’s where the you get the sunshine of the tune, but beneath it, there’s some heavily tripped out beats, slowing the track into this almost ethereal vapor that weaves its way into your brain. If these vibes are what you’re looking for, then be sure to check out the rest of this EP when it drops on Friday.

Soot Sprite Share All My Friends Are Depressed

Leave a comment

Overseas, there’s lots of buzz about Soot Sprite, and while they might have their own issues, their new single seems fitting for the majority of Americans that are currently burdened by stress and fear. The song doesn’t offer up the perfect solution, other than to “change what you can” as you move through life. I guess at a certain point you can let go of what you can’t change and work on the small things around you, like cranking up this tune at just the right time to let it rattle your speakers. They seduce you with a subtle bit of pop rock, subdued in its presentation before erupting with this great force that gives you the courage to step out into the world and kick some ass. Their debut LP, Wield Your Hope Like a Weapon will be out on May 16th via Specialist Subject Records.

Leatherette Share Delusional Video

Leave a comment

Italian outfit Leatherette have been on our radar quite a bit of late, with a really great EP that dropped just a few weeks ago. One of the standout tracks on that listen is now getting a joyous video, etched in the band’s own playfulness. It’s a stark contrast to the undertones of the song itself, though the rushing rhythm section does make way for that energetic bubble bounce we all know and love. When the vocals jump in, they seem to be catching on to the rhythmic vibes, kind of hitting on each little note, giving them this sort of melodic jump, building in some pop ethos to the group’s sound. Check out their Itchy + Delusional EP when you’re done jamming this tune!

Stuart Pearce Announce All This Vast Overproduction

Leave a comment

I’m having a lot of fun this morning cranking up the latest Stuart Pearce single, and if I’m being honest, part of is the joy of just trying to follow what they’re doing. At times, there’s this proto-punk approach, kind of like a modern rhythmic pulse with Kraftwerk as the forefather. Then, they just go on these little diversions, throwing in these synthesized sounds that fill the track with other-worldly noise, and in that, they’ve throw all convention in the trashcan and created their own thrills. Ultimately, that’s where I fall for this lot, as they just seem to enjoy every inch of every song, and an energy like that is intoxicating. They’ll drop All This Vast Overproduction on March 28th via Safe Suburban Home.

MIEN Share Empty Sun

Leave a comment

Rock n’ roll supergroup MIEN have a new record dropping this Spring via Fuzz Club, and in today’s episode of songs that rock, we get to peek behind the magician’s curtain. As the song opens, it begins with a sampled bit of looped beat work, with Alex Maas (of Black Angels) working in his vocals; the drums begin to unravel, snapping into place as shrieks of guitar fill the background. In their press, the group claims that a great deal of their songs begin just as the aforementioned explanation, then they expand into the final product that we have before us. The story continues to unfold when they release Evil People into the world on April 18th.
