Teethe Release Holy Water

The title track from Teethe‘s forthcoming Magic of the Sale LP was a banger, and they’re following that up with another powerful single, moving their work to the front of the line in “Must Listens” for the year. It instantly rains down heavy guitars upon the listener, though I can’t help but hear that synth line punctuating and setting up the pop sensibility and Madeline Dowd’s vocals. The chorus combines all the swirling vocals into one magical ball of noise, and the combined vocal effect maintains that syrupy treat at the core. If anyone is perfecting the loud/quiet contrast better than this lot, I haven’t heard it! Their new LP is out August 8th via Winspear.

Gelli Haha Shares Spit Video

When you find yourself stuck in a musical rut, sometimes you just need to kick over your chair, stand up and dance…and what better way to get started than by cranking up this new Gelli Haha track. A self-imposed rule of only using “S” words creates this artistic layer to the project, along with the incredible video by David Gutel that has Gelli strapped into some absurd scientific experiment. For me, I got locked into this groove, wrapped around a tight little punch that feels like you’re running in place at full steam. It’s propulsive, but stationary, locked into this groove that forces your body to convulse in a freeing fashion. Not sure what all that means? Press play below and grab Switcheroo on June 27th from Innovative Leisure.

The Beths Return with Metal

The Beth‘s have been mostly silent since their deluxe reissue of Expert in a Dying Field. But, they’re about to set off on a huge North American tour, and what better way to kick off the excitement than by dropping a brand new single? Today they bring you, “Metal,” returning with this perfect brightness for Springtime, marching through with this steady snare roll and light-hearted jangling on the guitar, allowing Elizabeth Stokes to weave her vocal magic. It’s definitely a pop focused tune, playing into the band’s lighter side, perhaps hinting at what we can expect on their next album. Speaking of a new album, today’s new jam comes with the announcement of the band’s signing to Anti Records too!

Fotoform This City is Over

Friday’s a busy day on the release schedule, and Fotoform will be dropping their latest effort, Grief is a Garden (Forever in Bloom). Alas, you can’t head into the weekend without one last convincing hint at the record, like the latest single “The City is Over.” This go round, the entirety of the song is a personal reclamation of meaning in our life, realizing that goals and expectations are part of the cyclical nature of modernity, and as such, are destructive forces in our lives. All of this is supported by a shiny bit of industrial-influenced dream pop, filled by hazy guitar lines and a exploring the negative space with bubblegum melodies. Grab the LP this Friday!

New Single from MIEN

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

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

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

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

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.
