Massage Return with Coaster

Leave a comment

I honestly hadn’t thought about LA’s Massage in quite some time, though I’ll admit that I adored their last LP, Still Life. Well, after a little breathing room, the group have returned with a new record, Coaster, and we’ve got that delicious debut single from the record below. On my first few listens through the track, it reminds me a lot of the late-era Pains of Being Pure at Heart, where the guitars feel secondary in relation to the overall blanket of sound that washes across the room. It’s soft and sweet, though there’s a weight to both the lyrics and the volume, providing a boldness that balances the track perfectly. Such a welcome return; they’ll drop Coaster via Mt St Mtn/Bobo Integral/Prefect on October 9th.

Stream Love in Mind from Mt. Misery

Leave a comment

Once Home No Longer made huge waves among all the fans of the softened brand of indiepop; it had charms galore, offering up great guitar sounds and comfort. On Mt. Misery‘s follow-up LP, you’re going to get a continuance of their sound. “Hey” is a bold opening statement, kicking off with an emphatic vocal punch that reminded me of some of the early Lodger tunes; the chorus opens up with smooth backing vocals to warm you over. It’s the big focus on shining melodies and strong syllabic deliveries that fill the entirety of Love In Mind; I love tracks like “YBP” that encourage a little bit of playfulness in the overall construction, setting up some nice little treats for the listener. Just imagine yourself falling in love at the intersection of Teenage Fanclub and the Lucksmiths, and that’s right where they hit you. Stream the whole new LP below, courtesy of Prefect Records!

Mt Misery Share Sunday Song

If you woke up today feeling like the world has you down (I hope that’s not the case), then might we turn you onto the latest from Mt. Misery; they offer up their new single like flowery breeze, blowing through your room and making everything feel absolutely refreshing. It’s like if Teenage Fanclub and the Lucksmiths had a beautiful new born baby together, it would sound exactly like this, mixing bits of both bands to create this swirl of pop music that’s almost too charming to be true. Once you’ve had a listen, you’ll know why we’re saving a spot for the group’s new Love In Mind LP, out on November 1st via Prefect Records.

EggS Share Head In Flames Video

Today’s the day you’re going to run out that door with purpose, you’re going to march into whatever you’re doing with a sense that you’re going to accomplish everything you need to do. Today, your power will be soundtracked by EggS. They’ve previously won us over with their Greatest Hits EP and A Glitter Year LP, and they continue to impress on this brand new single that dropped yesterday! As is always the case, they’re incredible hard to pigeonhole; they seem to musical shape-shift, sometimes instantaneously; I can hear remnants of Spencer Krug of Wolf Parade in the vocals, yet they also sound very modern British indie rock…and yet either way I win. Just love the energy this awoke in me, and I immediately had to share it. Look for Crafted Achievement on November 1st via Prefect Records/Howlin Banana.

Breaking last week, we wanted to remind you that you’ll now get a collection of great tracks from young Ohio janglers The Laughing Chimes on vinyl. They’ve hand-picked a few tracks off their various releases to put them on in one beautiful 7″ that you’ll have spinning on your record player for some time to come. Through these three tracks, you’ll get the earnestness of the band, be that from their youth or just their enthusiasm, they’re highlighting the best of the sounds that those into the jangle realm adore. The Laurel Heights 7″ will be available from Slumberland/Prefect Records on September 22nd.

Telephone Numbers Share Weird Sisters

Leave a comment

After the masses fell in love with the Ballad of Doug, San Francisco’s Telephone Numbers are back with a brand new 7″, and we’ve got that fresh A-side below for you. I love how huge and classic this new single feels; there’s a level of brightness in the craft here that seems to leap right out of your speakers. For me, it’s all about the vocals, carrying that sunshine beyond and giving off this natural enthusiasm and fervor that makes the future seem so promising. If you’re digging on it, then you can grab it on February 24th from Prefect Records or Meritorio Records!

Mt Misery Share Taken by the Tide

Leave a comment

There’s something really special in store for those that are willing to take some time to sit back and listen to Mt. Misery. The Hartlepool act have this very casual pop style going on, somewhere that toys with the modern guitar pop sounds of Real Estate, though looks upon the melodic nature of some of the best in Aussie pop; it’s sort of a cross between jangling indiepop and every band you’ve been told to love. Their take is perfect, and I love the fact that the vocals have this distinctive clarity that lets you ride with the melody on your back and a smile on your face. Once Home, No Longer is out June 25th via Prefect Records.
