Skirts Shares Run + Announces Tour

Dallas-based Skirts last dropped us new music way back in 2021 with Great Big Wild Oak; it was a fairly quiet affair, mostly relying upon bedroom pop stylings from songwriter Alex Montenegro. But, with such an incredible batch of songs, the project began to hit the road, and with that, Montenegro felt more comfortable recording with her band. This tune definitely displays a fuller sound, whilst still holding to Alex’s personality; you’ll hear screaming guitars at the start, almost as i they’re embarking on a shoegaze rendition. But, those covers get pulled back, letting us glimpse the introspective craft of Montenegro. This single comes with the promise of new record for Double Double Whammy, as well as a solid tour out East through the later weeks of October.

Deeper Announce New 7″

Deeper dropped their stunning self-titled LP last year via Fire Talk, and we did a lot of coverage on that album; I even booked them at my super-last-minute SXSW show, where they killed it. Now, the band are back with the announcement of a new 7″, featuring a John Maus cover and this new track below. I love the immediacy of the rhythm section here, offering up an energetic bob of right from the get-go. They don’t stray too far either, bringing in some discordant angular guitar riffs to craft the contrast where they vocals can weave in and out. This tune’s super rad, and they’ll have the 7″ on hand when they hit the road with label mates Dehd this Fall.

Promising New Single From Youth Sector

Brighton, UK based band Youth Sector just sent over this new single “Run” and I though it needed to be shared with the ATH community. I immediately loved the way these guys create this mixture of 80s rock like Devo with some nice and bright elements of Brit pop. For me, the band is really creating something unique with the blend of these two styles and I expect we’ll be hearing more about them soon. We’ll of course share more tunes as we get them.

Folk Number from Ella Grace

While Ella Grace is fairly new to the music scene, her latest single illustrates an attention to detail oft overlooked in this genre. For one, her British vocal inflection has something that always draws me to musicians from that side of the pond, but I really like the understated touches. You can hear her hand sliding across the fretboard, the faintest sound that provides an intimate connection between musician and listener. Then, there’s a distant supporting vocal, whispering from the far off. It’s a charming little ditty, with a little bit of spiritual catharsis in the lyrics…so keep Ella G on your radar.

New Music from I Was a King

While Frode was working with the No Ones, I Was a King was momentarily on hold. But, just this last week they’ve rekindled my love affair with this short little blast of power-pop. It comes with the promise of another glorious single (I’m betting), but just pressing play below will have you marveling at what a punch the band can pack in 1.5 minutes. They still know their way around the perfect melodic vocal turn; I couldn’t be more excited to hear more from them going forward. This tune comes out on the new single on November 10th, with promise of a full-length to come later next year!
