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.

Soot Sprite Share All My Friends Are Depressed

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

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

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

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.

Now Announce Now Does the Trick

If there was a K Records credit card, I’d definitely be down to sign up, as the last few years, the label has been one of the dominant forces in wayward pop music, and with this new Now LP, it looks like I’ve got more money to spend. Personally, as I was just listening to Television Personalities, it kind of turns the corner and takes a more psychedelic leaning; it still feels ramshackle and on the edge of following apart, but that’s part of the beauty, as it never collapses, letting melody craftily waft into the year. The group features members of Thunder Boys and Cindy, so you’re guaranteed to have some of the best songsmiths in the underground creating new pop gems. Now Does the Trick is out on May 16th via K Records.

The Saxophones Return With New Single

Oakland husband and wife duo The Saxophones have been gracing the pages of our site for near on 10 years at this point and they hold a special place in our ATH musical timeline. Through all of the singles and releases, To Be a Cloud from 2023 was seemingly the pinnacle of the group’s growth and evolution. But just when you think a band can’t possibly offer you more, they go and release a beauty like this new track “Burning with Desire.” It has a real loungy and chill vibe to help ease you in to this gloomy morning. Without mincing further words, I’ll just recommend you hit that play button below and enjoy.
