Fun New Tune from Of Montreal

Leave a comment

ofmontrealI’m really digging the broader band approach from Of Montreal, in comparison to some of the electronically driven stuff I feel like Kevin Barnes was working on in his own bedroom.  This brand new track will come on a 7″ that arrives with the remastered Satanic Panic in the Attic LP, which hits on Record Store Day.  And just in case you forgot, that’s my favorite OM record, so it only seems fitting that they offer up this track.  If this song is any indicator, it’s clear that the band is back on the up and up, perhaps bringing them back into the realm of my favorite bands.

Another New Tune from Pillar Point

Leave a comment

pillarpointI’m really glad Scott Reitherman is still writing music, as his work in Throw Me the Statue has sorely been missed.  Of course, now that’s he operating under this new Pillar Point moniker, he hasn’t strayed too far from his original sounds. He’s still combining these melodious hooks with pop-centric focus.  Vocals are gentle, yet lofty, rising and falling throughout this song.  It’s just another sign that his upcoming self-titled debut is going to be quite enjoyable for fans of easy-listening pop; it’s being released by Polyvinyl Records on February 25th.

Synth-Laden Pop from Pillar Point

Leave a comment

pillarpointI was a pretty big fan of Throw Me the Statue, so I’m really happy to hear that Scott Reitherman has a new project to work on: Pillar Point.  The act previewed a track the other day, and I figured I’d jump on the fanatic bandwagon.  The tune starts off with this stuttering synth beat, pushing your arms and feet in a swinging motion, but as you move forward, a softer side of the track begins to reveal itself; it kicks in at the 1.23 minute mark, and it’s my favorite moment of the song. If you dig it, you can grab the band’s eponymous LP from Polyvinyl Records on February 25th.

More New Music From Painted Palms

Leave a comment

paintedpalmsSan Francisco based pop hit maker Painted Palms is a group that has built quite a bit of positive praise around these parts over the last year or so.  The unique blend of synth/electronica with powerful pop overtones creates this delicious style reminiscent of pop music from the late 60s, experimental era.  This track “Forever” brings us even more of that great sound that I mention.  Hellava tune.

Don’t forget to check out “Spinning Springs” elsewhere on our site.

Once again, new album Forever will be out January 14th via Polyvinyl Records.

More New Tunes from Of Montreal

Leave a comment

ofmontrealI’ve been a bit reluctant to really jump back on board with Of Montreal, though I never truly stepped off the train.  In a sense, they’ve taken some creative moves that I’ve not always been on bored with, that is until their last two singles.  The latest seems to have completely stripped all the electronic elements out of the group’s sound, leaving us with Kevin Barnes’ penchant for traditional hooks. It might not be a return to form, if there ever really was one, but it’s definitely got me more excited than I’ve been to hear the full LP.  It’s titled LOUSY WITH SYLVIANBRIAR, and it’ll be released by Polyvinyl on October 8th. Pretty stoked!

Exciting New Music from Of Montreal

Leave a comment

ofmontrealOkay, so Of Montreal puts out tunes almost every year, so why is this so exciting? Well, for me, this single seems to exemplify the sound from the group that I first fell in love with when I jammed to Satanic Panic in the Attic; it’s not all bleeps and bloops, choosing to focus on more traditional guitar based melodies.  Still, it’s every bit a Kevin Barnes sound, which never ceases to impress me; I really like the vocal tone switch around the 2:15 minute mark.  The new record is titled lousy with sylvianbriar, and it’ll see a release from Polyvinyl Records on October 8th.  Hope it all sounds this great.

Nice New Tune from Wampire

Leave a comment

WampireJust a bit ago I caught Wampire opening up for Foxygen and Unknown Mortal Orchestra; I said it then, and I’ll say it again: Wampire were the best band that night. They have this combination of California sun-pop with a bit of R&B swagger…even throwing in some alternative rock jamming moments.  They’re definitely one of those bands who I’ve been waiting to hear more from, which is a good thing since their debut Curiosity is coming out in two weeks from Polyvinyl Records.  It’s shaping up to be a pretty perfect record for summertime party jams.

Even More New Music From Sonny & The Sunsets

Leave a comment

1838Sonny Smith is a busy man in the music game, and he seems to work just about as hard as anyone physically can.  It’s also worth saying that we seem to gobble up everything he does and tend to enjoy each new release as they rack up year after year.  As previously mentioned, Sonny and his band the Sunsets have a new album entitled Antenna to the Afterworld dropping on June 11th via Polyvinyl Records.  Prior to that release, we’ve got another new preview of the album in the form of new song “Green Blood”.  It sort of sounds like something straight of the 80s with a new wave sound clear throughout the song.  Alien love is sweet.

More New Music From Saturday Looks Good To Me

Leave a comment

Saturday+Looks+Good+to+MeI mentioned awhile back how excited I was to hear that Saturday Looks Good to Me are back on the indie music scene with some tasty pop music.  Already we’ve heard new song “Invisible Friend” and today we get this fun pop song “Break In”.  I love that this band continues to make beautiful and catchy pop songs that anyone would be hard pressed to resist.  I dare you to resist!

As previously mentioned, new album One Kiss Ends it All will be available on May 21st via Polyvinyl Records.

Sonny Smith Keeps Trucking with New Sonny & the Sunsets Tune

Leave a comment

1838I don’t think anyone in the world works as hard as Sonny Smith, except for maybe Ty Segall.  It seems like Sonny always has something in the works, be it his solo work or his band Sonny & the Sunsets.  He just released a new single that will be featured on his upcoming effort with his band; the record is called Antenna to the Afterworld and will be released by Polyvinyl Records on June 11th.  Interestingly, this song has less of a folk feel, changing it for that current Cali guitar sound that you find in many of the modern acts from the state (many of whom Sonny has worked with).  I’m interested to see how the whole record comes together, especially if he’s mixing things up.
