Premiere: New Single From Fair Visions

Leave a comment

For the last several years Queens based musician Ryan Work has been making some magical music under his recording and artistic moniker Fair Visions. This year, he has designs to release a new full length LP entitled Quite An End, which is due out on May 7th. Prior to that date, Work has just released what is easily my top song of the year so far with this stunning new single called “I Want You, Babe.” As far as progressions go, this thing moves along almost perfectly with a mellow, dreamy beginning as it flow into a slightly more heavy, swirling guitars sound. And those drums… ya it’s a fun one.

 

(Printer Friendly) Shares Stuck On This Dock

Leave a comment

Still perusing my end of year emails, and I found myself drawn to this track from (Printer Friendly), which is the stay-at-home music moniker of Griffin Ashburn. At the end of the year, Theodicy was dropped, and I was continuously drawn to the slow burn of the single below; it has this sedate nature at the beginning, patiently planting the melody in your ear and waiting for it to sprout. This pop burst arrive courtesy of Pigeon Kiss, whose voice seems to sort of shoot up from beneath the lower mix; it adds this great textural feel that serves as the lifeblood of the tune, especially when balanced with the other bits. Plus, it plays perfectly into the following tune, so enjoy this little musical odyssey.

Iceblynk Share Debut Single, Tragic

Leave a comment

The opening moment of the debut Iceblynk single grabbed me immediately; it teased me as if I was going to fall head over heels into the land of dense post-punk with wee little jangles. But, the song sort of evolves into something more spiritual, just on the cusp of dreaminess. When Andrea Lynn’s vocals hit, it sort of sets the song spinning differently; she’s got these sharp tones that seem to contrast with the vibe, but their ethereal nature ends up punctuating the bits and pieces that bring the song together. The song’s fade out really ups the ante too, so be sure to dive into the drama. The band will release their self-titled debut EP on October 21st!

Check Out Career Day’s Pride Was Somewhere Else EP

Leave a comment

All our musical journeys began somewhere, and I’m not shy about my super-emo past of the late 90s; I wore the outfit and everything. And while it might not always be in my current listening rotation, when a band comes and offers up the old school style like Career Day, I definitely get nostalgic. For me, its that sucker punch of offering some soft ballad followed up by flare and distorted riffs, like the band pull off on every tune from their Pride Was Somewhere Else EP. Listening through these tracks, “Deathbed Regrets” is probably the one I’ve been pressing repeat on the most; I love that huge explosiveness of hooks that jumps through. Honestly, I like an emo band that likes to rock…so I’m on board with these jams. Check it out below!

More From Wives

Queens based rockers Wives have really been impressing me with their new and upcoming album So Removed. I could probably even go so far as calling it one of my favorites of the year. If you are not a believer yet, I recommend you check out the band’s latest single off the new release called “Servants”. Yet again I am finding myself entranced by the band’s ability to effortlessly pull off an old school, alternative rock sound while still pumping in some freshness with slick beats and production. I like this band.

So Removed will be released on October 4th via City Slang.

Queens based rock band WIVES sent out this new track called “The 20 Teens” yesterday and I had to get it out to you people today. The song is a straight up rock n roll song with just a little bit of quirkiness to bring in a sort of Wolf Parade, Spencer Krug vibe. As you have a listen and enjoy, consider checking out more of the band’s music on bandcamp and mark your calendar for the release of their new album So Removed on October 4th via City Slang.

Check Out This Jane Church Track

Leave a comment

My friends who run Greenway Records have really been killing it over the last year or so with a slew of great albums and singles. The label is continuing their solid release run with a new single and 7″ from Queens based artist Jane Church. This track, “Rocket to the Kremlin”, is a driving rock song with swirling guitars and a quirky, almost Lou Reed style delivery on the vocals. If you aren’t, you should really be paying attention to this label and their artists.

This track appears on a new 7″ out in June via Greenway Records with a full length coming in the fall.

Nice Psych Rock From Raccoon Fighter

Leave a comment

unnamed (9)Queens based Raccoon Fighter came on my radar a few years ago and since then I’ve been intrigued by their ability to craft a brand of psych rock with blues and garage rock overtones. Fans like me will be pleased to hear that the band has plans to release a new EP entitled Hover Craft on August 26th via Papercup Music. As always, the announcement comes with a new single and this one, “LVLR”, is sure to perk up your ear drums today. Once again the band has taken psych rock and added their own flair with hints of old school alternative rock and blues.
