New Video From Mideau

Leave a comment

MideauSometimes when I’m trying to find things to post on the ‘ol interwebs, I come across music that I wouldn’t normally think I’d be into, but something about it just strikes a chord.  Today that song is “Maude” from Salt Lake City based indie pop group Mideau.  The song is a number that reminds me of an almost chilled out version of Phantogram or even old school indie rockers Headlights with a bit of an electro twist.  Of course the sweet jam has an accompanying video that compliments the track nicely.

Check out the video after the jump.

Great New Pop Track From Communions

Leave a comment

front_digiCommunions is a Copenhagen based band that both Lankford and I posted about back in October of last year.  I hadn’t heard much from the band since that time so imagine my surprise and delight when the band just sent over this awesome new track “Out of My World”.  I don’t know about you guys, but I continue to dig the beautifully quirky take on pop music.

Communions finally have a new self-titled EP due out in June on Tough Love Records.

Active Child Give Us Something New

One comment

Active ChildActive Child has always had this weird place in my musical psyche, though I’m not sure where that place is, something about the music just hits a chord with me.   Today yet another tune just hit the internet called “1999” and I find myself entranced all over again.  The song is a hushed beauty, an ode to a loved one, that should evoke some major feeling in all of us.  Can’t say enough good things about this one.

Active Child has a new album in the works entitled Mercy due out in June on Vagrant.

Miniboone Return!

Leave a comment

minibooneband-thumb-550x366After just doing a quick search on ATH, I’m seeing that we started posting about Brooklyn based indie-pop band Miniboone almost 5 years ago.  The band takes a simple approach to songwriting with their catchy pop melodies and all around fun vibe to their songs.  This new song, “Basic Song”, is yet another track that will prove hard to resist unless you flat out hate energetic and fun pop music.  Check it out.

New album entitled Bad Sports is due out April 20th on Ernest Jenning Record Co.

Calvin Love Continues His Pop Ways

Leave a comment

artworks-000105386552-gan6in-t500x500I have always had a place in my musical catalog for the pop sounds and styles of Mr. Calvin Love.  He has his own unique take on pop music with a breeziness and freshness that any real lover of the genre could never resist.  Today I was excited to hear that one of my favorite songwriters just moved up in the world by inking a new deal with large indie label Arts & Crafts and is prepping a new release for later this year.  Check out a preview of the new material with this album track “Daydream”.  Song title = perfect.

Stay tuned as we get more information on the upcoming release.

Pure Pop from Diet Cig

Leave a comment

overeasyWe started out the morning with some heavier sounds, so let’s flip that over and visit the pop spectrum, albeit for a moment.  This track from Diet Cig made it’s way to the world yesterday, and I’m jumping on board with the band’s catchy new song “Scene Sick.”  The tune starts off well-enough, with a light ditty making its way to your eardrums, but the finest moments, in my eyes, are in the latter part of the song when guitars are turned up and the hooks sink their teeth into you.  The group’s Over Easy EP will be available at the end of February courtesy of Father Daughter Records.

The Dodos Give Us Something New

thedodos01The Dodos have always been a band beloved by those of us at ATH even if their more recent material has left us longing a bit for the good old days.  Today I’m happy to share with you this new track “Competition” that is really a return to old form in my opinion.  The song is a simple pop number with those folky overtones that made us fall for this band back in the day.  Truly a hit for the winter season.

Pick up the brand spankin’ new album Individ on January 27th via Polyvinyl Records.[soundcloud url=”https://api.soundcloud.com/tracks/175335454″ params=”color=ff9900&auto_play=false&hide_related=false&show_artwork=false” width=”100%” height=”166″ iframe=”true” /]
