Nothing Announce New Record

Leave a comment

I reckon this song will be everywhere in the next hour or so, so wanted to be one with the masses and share in the joy of a new Nothing record. Their penchant for noise has not escaped them as they push for new territory, but they’re employing a similar, albeit slightly harsher approach, to what Dummy have been doing recently, bridging a love for dreamy noise textures with an undercurrent of electronica. Interestingly, this new single seems to have the two forces almost working against one another, with the beat work seemingly running in the other direction from the swarm of feedback and noise that crashes through your speakers. Looks like A Short History of Decay will watch as Nothing peel back the layers of expectations and go forward with new direction; the record drops in February via Run For Cover.

Nihilistic Easyrider Shares Two New Jams

Leave a comment

Jacob Duarte is already a fairly big name in these parts of Texas, known for his role as the front person in Narrow Head. But, the last month or so we’ve been focused on jamming to his Nihilistic Easyrider solo work, bringing you two fresh tunes to jam to today. You can almost take these two songs as a split, one showing Duarte’s leanings towards a softer bit of indie rock, while the other harkens to his pop punk roots. I loved the guitar playing on “Weekend Fever,” as it definitely feels like stuff you heard in the late 90s emo scene; the guitar lines show some great musicianship too, so I don’t want you overlooking that! “Facedown” is a bit more aggressive in nature, like the best Saves the Day song that was never written…and its brief, so you’ll want to dive in real quick! Look for Deluxe Edition on July 25th from Run for Cover.

Cursive Share Botch Job Single

Leave a comment

We here at the ATH offices are certainly interested in what’s coming out of the Cursive camp, and their latest single has Tim Kasher clawing at expectations. As a fan, this one feels like the Good Life work is bleeding into the songwriting process. There’s some sharp guitar licks that are pretty solid, yet the tendency for Tim to soften his vocals and hold onto a calmer presence there seems to supersede. Now, that doesn’t mean we’re not jamming it over here, just an observation that this might be the album where Tim gets all the pieces together and knocks it out of the park! Devourer will be out on September 13th via RFCR.

Enumclaw Sign with Run For Cover Records

Leave a comment

There’s just something about the songs Aramis Johnson writes for Enumclaw that have the perfect balance between emotional indie rock and punchy rock. Their latest single, accompanying the announcement of a new album and their singing to RFC, encompasses that tightrope act, walking between these thoughtful moments that would fit on any modern playlist, all before bursting into these riff-oriented crashing waves; it forces you to find your footing emotionally, while also indicating the joyous nature that coincides with Johnson’s songwriting. Home in Another Life will drop on August 30th.

Cursive Return with Devourer

Leave a comment

As an avowed Cursive fanboy, I feel obligated to tell you that they are returning with a brand new album that’s going to blow you away! Today, Run for Cover announce they’ll be releasing Devourer, their first album in five years! I love the new tune, and feel like it might possibly be some of the best stuff Tim’s done since the Ugly Organ; his vocal control throughout the single is as remarkable as ever, solidifying his role as one of the voices I’ll always carry with me. I don’t need to wax poetically here, as if you’re reading this site, you likely already love the band and their work; the new LP will drop on September 13th.

Checkout Shapeshifter From Mini Trees

Leave a comment

Oh how we adore Lexi Vega and her musical project known as Mini Trees. She’s been bringing us hit after hit for the last several years, and this new tune “Shapeshifter” proves to be yet another jam for her repertoire. Often time people can confuse indie pop with things from just a straight radio ready pop style, but this track perfectly hits on both elements of indie with hints of pop. I can’t get enough of it.

This track is part of a new EP entitled Burn Out which is due on March 1st via Run For Cover Records.

Sun June Share Mixed Bag Single

Leave a comment

There are a lot of really great songs in the Sun June catalog, but if I’m being honest, “Mixed Bag” might have quickly risen to the top of my charts. Something about it feels like home, something that feels like Texas (and yes, I know there’s a mention of Texas, so its more than subliminal!); it feels like a cruise down the road with a carload of your best friends, windows down as the night’s just cool enough to feel a breeze, and still warm enough to make you sweat. Despite it feeling like a Texan teen dream, digging deep reveals all these striking little earworms the group carefully laid into the mix on this tune. Bad Dream Jaguar is out on October 20th via Run For Cover.

Sun June Announce Bad Dream Jaguar

Leave a comment

Sun June‘s newest record should be absolutely huge, which comes as no surprise to those of us mucking about in the Austin music scene. Today, they announce Bad Dream Jaguar, with a single that serves as the perfect summary for their entire catalogue. If you lock into the rhythmic nature of the tune, it seemingly works as a sublime track to turn up as you head down the road; it has that movement naturally coursing through, particularly in the way the guitars are recorded too. But, with Laura Colwell’s vocals hanging loftily in the air, you can feel the oppressive heat of Texas and the need to just soak up the sheer size of the state. Personally, I love the noisy discord at the end, adding that devil-may-care attitude to their well-crafted blend of pop rock. Bad Dream Jaguar is out on October 20th via Run for Cover Records.

Another Hit From The Berries

Leave a comment

Matt Berry is a Seattle based musician who the ATH team has been down with for quite some time now. His musical project known as The Berries has seen a ton of posts on this here site over the last 3-4 years. His approach to songwriting with funny nuance on top of Americana inspired tunes for a very “Matt Berry” style of indie pop has always hit a chord with us. Naturally this means I am again excited to share the 2nd single entitled “Down That Road Again” from Berry’s upcoming new album. This guy has really honed his craft and is ever evolving into one of the best songwriters in the indie game right now.

The Berries new album, High Flying Man, will release on August 19th via Run For Cover Records.

More from Tony Molina

Leave a comment

So you’ve likely already heard from Tony Molina and his latest single, therefore I’m just getting it up here because I want it in next week’s playlist, as that’s where the hits are. This tune uses a little piano mixed in with the heavy strum of Tony’s guitar, creating these ridiculous moments of charm that are unmatched in anything else you’ll hear out there today, methinks. I always marvel at how Molina’s songs feel stretched and beautiful and full of magic, despite being under two minutes long, but then again, should we be surprised at this point? Another good track from Tony; his In the Fade LP is out on August 12th via Run for Cover.
