Lone Striker Drops Blip One

Leave a comment

We here at ATH are huge believers in Tom Brown; he’s been a joy to cover as part of Teenage Tom Petties and Rural France, but his Lone Striker works is gifting us a glimmer of a different side of Tom. On his latest single, the track and its accompany video all encompass a walkabout; the soft snare touches provide a marching beat, albeit one that work’s at a glacial pace. But, like all things Brown, there are some finite little charms he sprinkles into his work; I’m in love with the sort of ghostly vocal sample that haunts this number. That overlapping vocal approach throughout doesn’t hurt one bit either, setting up the strings to hit you right in the heart. His self-titled album will be out on March 14th via Safe Suburban Home.

LP Gavin Channels Pavement on New Single

Leave a comment

If you missed the olden days of slacker rock, might we remind you that you have new heroes ahead in LP Gavin. They definitely pull out some tricks from the Pavement back catalog, though it gets reimagined in a new presentation. You’ll find the reclining verses coiled around these emphatic punches of grungy pop rock; I like to think there’s just a bit more pulling on the reins, which allows the hook to really sail through the speakers. Hard to find that perfect balance between bursts and bops, but they’re pulling it off successfully below. Trials, Tribulations, Deliberations, Pratfalls, Reprieves, Etc is out February 28th via Repeating Cloud and Safe Suburban Home.

Lone Striker Share Dunno Single

Leave a comment

All our favorite labels of love have their hands in this Lone Striker album coming your way, and this first single should establish the group as one of your favorites too. It should come as no surprise that we’ve also covered the project in various ways, as the lone striker himself, Tom Brown, is also part of great acts like Rural France and Teenage Tom Petties. So, here we are, with a debut single, seeing Brown relishing his role as a pop extraordinaire is immediately evident; the burst of horns in the arrangement set up his voice to kind of crest and cool in the middle of the mix. All of this chilled pop works around a lightly strummed jangle, sitting right alongside the percussive element, tapping toes and bobbing heads in the best way. For now, we can thank Repeating Cloud/Safe Suburban Home/Hidden Bay for getting this tune our way…the debut album is out next year!

Stuart Pearce Shares Fuck No I Jangle

Leave a comment

Throw in some jangles and let the band bang it out; that seems to be the attitude of Stuart Pearce and their brand new single here. You’ve got huge circling guitars, hitting all the right psychedelic mixed notes, then they suddenly drop in with thumping guitars and these almost sheepish vocals, and maybe even building up a wall of mistrust. That said, they lock into the perfect mixture, melding these pounding rhythms with twisting sunshine guitar licks with stomping vocals that explore a bit of bravado and fun. Step into the sound, and look for a brand new record on Safe Suburban Home next Spring!

Healees Share White Room + Announce Coin de l’oeil

Leave a comment

When a bunch of powerhouse labels get together to co-release something, you can pretty much count on us being into it. Hidden Bay Records, Safe Suburban Home and Indie or Die jointly announced Coin de l’oeil, the newest album from Parisian outfit Healees. Our first single has the track blanketing the listener in warmth, with crisp guitar notes churning over one another as they continuously leave space for soaring vocals to work in the negative space. Those vocals carry an earnestness that takes a dream pop ethos and moves it into something a bit more powerful, which definitely has my ears perked up and ready to go when the record drops in October.

Little Oso Announces How Lucky to Be Someone

Leave a comment

If you’ve been a fan of acts like the Beths then we’d like to introduce you to Maine’s Little Oso, who’ve just announced their brand new LP, How Lucky to Be Someone. Our first listen to their new work has these perfect little guitar lines, shimmering, but not too far into the gaze realm, so you can still really feel their angular nature raining down upon you. But, while that backdrop seduced me immediately, it’s the calmed approach to the vocals that really warms, at least in this tune. I can definitely hear spots where the band could explode, but I kind of like that they don’t, holding you tightly to the core until you’ve reached the end of the song, where there’s finally that cathartic release that wraps it all up in a nice pop rock bow. How Lucky to Be Someone will be out early next year via Safe Suburban Home/Repeating Cloud.

Teenage Tom Petties Share Night Nurse

Leave a comment

Dear Teenage Tom Petties. I sincerely need you to stop writing such catch pop songs that, quite frankly, are ruining my day. I’m sitting here looking at an email inbox of over 100 new tracks and albums, but all I want to do is listen to this new track. I love how you’ve pushed the gritty bits of guitar to the distance; they’re not completely gone, but they allow the pitch of the vocals to really sell the melody. Oh, and then you went and threw in some “whoas” and handclaps. Are you serious? How can you expect anyone to get anything done when you’re writing with such whimsy and joy, all the while tossing in hooks galore? You’ve ruined my day. Alas, I’ll have to go grab a copy of your new self-titled record, dropping on August 2nd via Safe Suburban Home/Repeating Cloud.

Cowgirl Announce Cut Offs + Share Fading Lights

Leave a comment

The ever reliable folks over at Safe Suburban Home have just announced that they’ll have another record worthy of your listening, this time from York’s Cowgirl, who’ve been mostly quiet since their self-titled LP in 2021. Today they announce Cut Offs, their new LP, dropping an accompanying single that illustrates their confidence in classic rock n’ roll styles. You get the echo of a guitar running throughout, building up the backdrop, though the band pushes forward with driving rhythm and overlapping melodies that build on the foundational level of pop rock. A straight up, no bullshit, honest rock n’ roll tune; you’ll be able to get Cut Offs on August 9th.
