Stuart Pearce Delivers Dances with Starships Video

Leave a comment

Last Spring, Stuart Pearce released the delightful All This Vast Overproduction, but great records never disappear, so Stuart has decided to revisit the closing track, “Dances with Starships.” When this tune kicked off, it sounded to me like a British version of Pavement, and I mean that in the best way possible. The pop driven chug of the guitars circle back again and again, with a growling guitar clearing the way for this burst of hooks to settle into the chorus. It’s clear the song’s a standout, but seeing as it was hiding at the end of a great record, not everyone listens all the way through. Perhaps now you’ll give it some time and go back and hear the record in its entirety…courtesy of Safe Suburban Home.

Teenage Tom Petties Announce Rally the Tropes

Leave a comment

I cannot wait for the rest of ya’ll in America to really get behind Teenage Tom Petties, especially as they’ve got a new record, Rally the Tropes on the horizon. This first single is just a straight ripper, indicating that Tom Brown and company aren’t done with kicking ass in 2025. The entirety of the new record is a celebratory experience, with Brown reveling in the joyousness of the group’s creation, as well as the power they’re now cranking out. The stuttering start that sets up the hook at the 16 second mark rules, recorded perfectly so that when the tune drops in you’re bouncing off the walls with the world’s largest grin stretching from ear to ear. Rock n’ roll is supposed to be fun, and no one is having as good a time as this lot. The new LP is out via Repeating Cloud and Safe Suburban Home in October.

Lowmoon Release Vacant Youth Video

Leave a comment

Those of us in the know are anxiously awaiting news of the forthcoming Lowmoon LP, which is rumored to being finalized for an early release in 2026. But, while we patiently wait, we can hang out and crank up this new bouncing bop that reminds me an awful lot of the recent Humdrum LP; it’s got this blend of new wave nostalgia and beach-y pop influence, coating the vocals in a dreamy state so as to provide the listener with the purgatorial question of whether or not you’re drifting or bouncing. Either way, you’re body responds with a huge grin that will likely put the project on your radar while we await news on that LP! This tune comes courtesy of Safe Suburban Home.

Friday Album Streams: Allo Darlin, Karl Frog, The Wind-Ups and More

Leave a comment

A lot of really great music dropped today, and, well, we’d be poor stewards of the underground if we didn’t point you in the right direction for some of these new releases. You get indiepop legends returning after a lengthy absence; you get a bit of a modern take on the Pastels; try on an eccentric crooner; and end up with a little noise pop. You can’t go wrong with any of these releases, but as always be sure to support the artists and labels!

Autocamper Drop Proper Single

Leave a comment

One of the highlights of the Summer season, musically speaking, has to be this fresh Autocamper record scheduled for early July. This particular tune has both the directness and the brightness that we’re guaranteed to find in the confines of the album. For those who’ve been following the band, the immediacy is really special, especially when the throaty vocals come into play, channeling a more upbeat version of Beat Happening. I like where the vocals combine, too, as that brings in the ray of sunshine, sprinkling melody all over the listener as the energy rushes forward. Little bit of indie rock, whole lot of hooks; you need to grab the group’s What Do You Do All Day LP, out on July 11th via Slumberland Records/Safe Suburban Home.

Lowmoon Remixes Lone Striker Single

Leave a comment

Earlier this Spring, Lone Striker released their self-titled LP, and it was full of instant pop classics, built upon the songwriting genius of Tom Brown (Rural France/Teenage Tom Petties). It was a record that felt akin to the genius of Jason Lytle, and now, it’s caught the ear of one of the Safe Suburban Home labelmates, Lowmoon. The song’s original opens with this budding vocal that quickly churns into a delightful blast of indie bedroom pop; you can hear the original HERE. Lowmoon have taken it’s guitar origins and twisted them into a more electronic element, creating a cavernous ambiance behind Brown’s vocals, accompanied by a sampled beat that gets to accent the guitar elements when they come into play. Maybe the song makes you fall in love with Lowmoon, or go back and revisit the whole of Lone Striker…either way, you can find it all on Safe Suburban Home.

Labrador Share My Version of Desire Title Track

Leave a comment

Today appears to be a day for title tracks coming out, so stay tuned for another just around the corner. But, at the moment, let’s enjoy this great new Labrador belter. It’s a sway-with-a-partner bit of balladry, with Pat King’s vocals dominating the mix while a light strum on the old gee-tar builds the backdrop. While the opening feels a little light, they slowly build in some rhythmic elements, first with a shaker then adding in thumps of drums to build up that texture. It creates this swell of big feelings, and it’ll have you reaching for a friend to just hold on tight as you watch the world burn. My Version of Desire is officially out on May 30th via Safe Suburban Home.

Autocamper Announce What Do You Do All Day

Leave a comment

You likely first heard about Autocamper over here on this site, or so we hope, as we’ve been championing the band for quite some time, but today brings the bestsest news, as the group are ready to finally announce their debut LP. It’s got all the proper jangles, but the Manchester group has their own approach that feels distinctive in its own sense. In the vocal duties, which are shared throughout the new album, you get this businesslike approach, hitting these straightforward notes while the rest of the group dances around with discordant guitars and stomping drum lines, adding in a sprinkle of melodic backing vocals to boot. They’ll be dropping their debut What Do You Do All Day via Slumberland and Safe Suburban Home on July 11th.

Monnone Alone Share River of Sighs

Leave a comment

I thought good old Mark Monnone was playing a trick on me when I first press play; I mean, I didn’t expect a vocal sample in a different language! But, as the guitar lines begin to sound familiar and friendly, that’s when I notice that Monnone Alone is still an on-going project, and thus entitled to grow and try out new tricks. The trick here is perfect execution, with one of the best vocal performances I can remember from Mark; it’s aided by the perfect little detailed backing vocal too. There is something light and good-natured here, however, like a bug setting sail on a loose leaf and sailing down a stream, nothing but promise of a new horizon on its mind. Here Comes the Afternoon will be out on May 2nd via Lost and Lonesome/Meritorio/Safe Suburban Home.

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.
