The Convenience Share Two New Singles

September 24, 2024 nathan.lankford Leave a comment

New Orleans outfit The Convenience are back with two fresh tracks that definitely have piqued our interest this morning. On one hand, they take a page from acts like The Embarassment or Omni with “Routiner”, stretching out jagged riffs and creative rhythms into a post-punk vibe that’s balances between frantic and pensive. They flip the script for “Postcard,” which features some great fiddle work from Max of Lawn; the chorus in this one definitely hits home, feeling like the best moments of some of our favorite Aussie bands. Little bits of buzzsaw creep in, filling out the backdrop, going beyond the basics. Both tracks are available today courtesy of Winspear.

Latest Track from Bedbug

February 21, 2024 nathan.lankford Leave a comment

There’s something magical that seems to come through my speakers when I play a Bedbug track; it feels a bit like late 90s indie rock, when folks captured their imperfections without fear, hoping just to pour their emotions into the musical side of things. I completely get those feels on this new single too, as it feels like the vocals get pushed to the edge of control, but when the song pulls back to its more personal moments, you begin to think that it was just the pure excitement of the songwriting getting carried away. Pack Your Bags the Sun is Growing really is starting to feel like something special. Grab a copy from Disposable America before it drops on March 15th.

The Electric Pop Group Return with Great Indiepop

December 8, 2014 nathan.lankford Leave a comment

It’s been almost five years since we’ve heard anything new coming from Sweden’s the Electric Pop Group, but dammit if they aren’t aiming to wrap up our year with some delicious indiepop. It’s the classic sort, at least on this song, with jangling guitars pushing the melodies to the max, then kicking out some warmth in the vocal aspect. This song is from the group’s new record, Integration, which will see a release early next year courtesy of the ever-reliable Matinee Recordings.
