Prism Shores Share Overplayed My Hand Single
Those of us on this side of the indie scene have all been anticipating the new Prism Shores LP, Out from Underneath; it drops next week via Meritorio Records. But, before we get to the finish line, the group are offering one last trick to tickle your fancy, and it might be the best one we’ve heard from the group. When it begins, it has this quieted joy, the sort you’d associate with the Reds, Pinks and Purples, but progresses into something with a bit more explosiveness that warrants repeat listens. I absolutely love the way the track just feels like a big hug, despite hitting these jittery notes that seem like we’ve lost total control. Grab the LP before it’s too late!
There were a lot of jams, and there wasn’t a lot of time, and all that to say, I still got an excuse to write about the new Cistern EP, with it’s banging opening track included below. Prism Shores continued to shell out hits, while Austin act SKLOSS return with news of their signing to Fuzz Club Records. The Rishis dropped in some delightful psychedelic pop, if that’s your bag, and if not, well maybe you get a little folk on your feet and crank up new Will Johnson for our ears. We also brought out some slow jams from Clara Ziegler and Disarme, among others, so all your feels are here below. Just press play.
Just when we thought the year was dragging to a close, we managed to find enough hits to fall in love with and make you a proper playlist! We even have a few of the tracks we covered from Maneater and Boyracer missing, so be sure to check those out. I loved the opening song from Prism Shores; it’s definitely a bright spot on last week, along with the reemergence of Mogwai on the scene. We managed to get in some Austin love for Whalers and Gus Baldwin and the Sketch, not to mentioned representing for the local festival with Levitation interviews from Hello Mary and the Strange Lot. Plus, our pal Michael Maly was able to swing some coverage for Air‘s 25th Anniversary performance of Moon Safari, giving me a chance to slide “Sexy Boy” into yet another playlist. Check it all out below.
