Swimming Bell Share New Single

After hitting you with a little bit of abrasive melody, felt like we could dip our toes in a bit of a cooler pond, this time with the latest track from Swimming Bell. When I ran through the first time, I was totally drawn to that guitar sliding through in the distance, working to add a textural layer that allows Katie Schottland’s vocals a place to play around. There’s this tribal beat beneath, almost acting as a heartbeat, all of this working to stretch the tune into this striking ray of light that shines upon you as you press play. Plus, there’s bonus points for Cody from Shannon/Clams who directed/created the video, adding a lightness that matches the tune’s joy. The band will release Charlie early next year via Permanent Records.

New Music (ish) from Brain Idea

Chicago’s Brain Idea has been bubbling beneath the surface of indie-rock stardom for some time now, but it’s going to be their most recent release on Mexican Summer, the Cosmos Factory EP, that’s going to be winning every one over this year.  It’s a brief little collection, but those of you with nostalgic leanings for all things New Zealand sounding will find your home with this little effort.  There’s that echo blend between atmospherics and bits of melody, and it’s completely winning me over this evening.  I’m sure many of you will find appreciation in the EP, and their back catalog on Permanent Records.
