Another Peel Dream Magazine Tune

Leave a comment

As much as we knew what to expect in the early work of Peel Dream Magazine, it seems that Joe Stevens work on the newest LP did see him branching out in new directions, or at least letting other folks join in on the fun, like the partnered vocals that run the course through this song and its accompanying video. Musically, it’s still all about bending in those corners of psychedelia into a pop-centric vibe that works around studio-beat-magic and vibrant melodies. Personally, the chorus is the sweet spot on this tune, offering an almost toying melody, teasing you without going full on into the realms of cliche bedroom pop. Rose Main Reading Room is out September 4th via Topshelf.

For some reason, I felt like last week was kind of a slow-burn, but then when putting all the tracks we mentioned together, was stoked to see we had a solid amount for you to enjoy today. Personally, getting to celebrate new music from Feeling Figures and Being Dead feels like the world gets a win. But, there were also some great LP releases from the likes of Laughing and My Best Unbeaten Brother, amongst others. Totally excited to hear news of another endeavor from Mexico’s Mint Field, not to mention we got another sneak peek at what’s coming from the next Bad Moves LP, which of course has us stoked. Stream below!

Peel Dream Magazine Shares Lie in the Gutter

Leave a comment

After several albums for the ATH heralded Slumberland Records, Peel Dream Magazine are moving over to Topshelf Records for their new LP. Today we get this delicious little tune that’s going to be hard not to fawn over. Joseph gives up the vocal duties on this one, and the rolling pulse of the synths/keys definitely is going to have folks pulling out their “sounds like Stereolab” cards. You can certainly hear where the roots of the project have evolved into a more openly pop structure, thus capable of seducing even the hardest to please indie fans; I can certainly see where folks who love Broadcast or Dummy might find this as a nice intersection if they were unfamiliar with the band. There’s a bunch of tour dates too, so hopefully we’ll get to hear a lot from the forthcoming Rose Main Reading Room, out September 4th.

From//October Share Somewhere Quiet

Leave a comment

Dutch songwriter Dion Tiktak’s From//October project is a really great way to escape the mundane details of the end of times we’re facing. There’s a lightness to his craft, allowing you completely let loose, take that magic carpet ride wherever your mind chooses to travel. For me, you’ll find some similarities to earlier stuff that came from Peel Dream Magazine, albeit with a bit more of a melodic drive here, allowing the crispness to really hit those notes that allow for emotional escapism we’re all seeking from our favorite tunes. Delve into Dion’s work and escape the day!

We had a rough start last week, with a wee bit of server issues…plus getting back into work after some time off. But, we came back to a bunch of sweet tunes from some ATH favorites…new videos from Blues Lawyer and En Attendant Ana, not to mention one that tied up the excellent LP from Doom Flower. I was blown away by another fresh track from Joyeria, and RayRay did a little write up on our friends in Why Bonnie. I was really in love with that Grey Factor tune we ran at the end of the week, but it hasn’t made it onto streaming platforms, so check that out before digging into new EPs from Dippers and Peel Dream Magazine.

Peel Dream Magazine Releases Surprise EP

Leave a comment

Pad has barely been worn out on my record player, but Peel Dream Magazine has already returned with a brand new surprise EP today. To me, it completely encompasses the concept of an Extended Play, as even creator Joe Stevens claims he was able to “view these songs as belonging on Pad, were it not for the restraints of what will fit on a 12 inch.” In listening, you get two little instrumental pieces, continuing to watch the project dabble with new sound, then two more traditional tracks that continue the musical motifs present on last year’s Pad. Of course, none of this would be available were it not for the brilliant folks over at Slumberland. Happy Friday to you.; here’s Magic is Pocketed.

Lots of coverage running around last week, and with ACL in town, there was some coverage of shows and what not. We ended the week throwing up some streams of our favorite LPs that dropped too. But, ultimately, you came here for the tunes, and we had lots of them. Personally, I loved new stuff from I Was a King, Heather Trost and Field School, not to mention the little twist in expectations thrown in by the latest from Smashing Times. RayRay loved some rockers from S.C.A.B and Fluung, and they’ve all been conveniently added for your listening pleasure below. Browse, and head back and see what we had to say if you’re so inclined.

Leave a comment

Well, Friday is here, and that’s a great reason to check in on some cool releases. Plus, get the bonus of knowing its Bandcamp Friday, so you get a chance to support your favorite artists and labels by streaming and jamming and buying! The Alvvays record has been buzzing everywhere, including our site, so we had to include that one. I’m personally stoked to hear how all the new Peel Dream Magazine songs fit together, as it seems like a different sound coming our way…we’re in for an exciting plot twist. There’s a couple other small releases here that we figured might fly under the radar, so wanted to be sure to include a bit of the other goods too! If we’re missing something cool, holler at us so we can be sure to give it a listen.

 

Alvvays – Blue Rev (Polyvinyl)

The Mall – Time Vehicle Earth

Peel Dream Magazine – Pad (Slumberland Records)

Cool Sounds – Like That (Chapter Music)

Ciel – Not in the Sun, Nor the Dark (Jazz Life)

Winter Share Final Single from What Kind of Blue Are You

Leave a comment

There’s been a lot of great records this year, but I get the sneaking suspicion that I’m going to spend a lot of time with What Kind of Blue Are You. As I said last time, each single is operating in the same orbit as the others, but each offers a different musical twist on left of the dial pop. This one drifts casually, relying upon Samira’s voice to slowly pull the listener into the song, then suddenly the beat drops in taking the song on this sort of trippy pop ride that operates like a sort of pop dreamscape. There’s a little of this, a little of that, and all of it, from the guests to the vibes, has been pretty special. Winter release their new album on October 14th via Bar/None Records, and hit the road with Peel Dream Magazine through the Fall.

Happy Monday! Man, we covered a ton of ground last week, and I’m super stoked with the songs we squeezed into this playlist…and for the first time all of them are available on one streaming platform. That either means my tastes have gotten super basic, or those DSPs have taken over! Either way, there were a bunch of songs to love last week. I’m smitten with this new track from Kindsight, and I can’t stop playing that Cozy Slippers tune, so that’s a fun place for you to start. We get bonuses as members of Math and Physics Clubs have created two new bands, both with great new singles: Field School and Model Shop. Just a bunch of great jams to get your morning off on the right track.
