Teenage Tom Petties Share Tough Cookies

If you haven’t made room for Rally the Tropes on your purchase list, then you might want to reevaluate your budget this month, as their new single solidifies the forthcoming Teenage Tom Petties record as a must have. Like most TTP tunes, there’s a natural grittiness to the recording process, giving the tune a huge edginess and DIY mentality. But, while I adore that aspect and its lo-fi aesthetics, their penchant for hooks and guitarmonies, making everything they do infectious and with just enough punch to keep the cool kids off my back. Love looking forward to this new LP, which drops via Repeating Cloud // Safe Suburban Home on October 24th.

Eli Carvajal Signs with Safe Suburban Home

I love when a label just falls in love with a record that may not fit our expectations, but still adheres to the label philosophy of releasing music you love, like the new pick up from Safe Suburban Home. They’ve mostly been playing with outsider pop like the new Autocamper LP (you should buy that!), but today they’ve announced the signing of Eli Carvajal, a UK artist that reminds me an awful lot of young Bon Iver. He’s got an interesting playing style using open tunings on an upside down right handed guitar (that he plays left-handed) so it creates this resonance in the notes that hits deep within your soul. There’s not too much else really added behind the strum and his voice, with only the slightest embellishment used, as there’s this clarity that sharpens the delivery, digging its hooks deep in the listener. Eyen Forever is out on October 3rd.

Stuart Pearce Announce All This Vast Overproduction

I’m having a lot of fun this morning cranking up the latest Stuart Pearce single, and if I’m being honest, part of is the joy of just trying to follow what they’re doing. At times, there’s this proto-punk approach, kind of like a modern rhythmic pulse with Kraftwerk as the forefather. Then, they just go on these little diversions, throwing in these synthesized sounds that fill the track with other-worldly noise, and in that, they’ve throw all convention in the trashcan and created their own thrills. Ultimately, that’s where I fall for this lot, as they just seem to enjoy every inch of every song, and an energy like that is intoxicating. They’ll drop All This Vast Overproduction on March 28th via Safe Suburban Home.

Lowmoon Drops Won’t Change Your Mind Video

Been a bit all over the musical map this morning, with a little of this and a little of that, but really excited for the dream pop vibes on this new single from Lowmoon. The Yorkshire-based project is certainly crafting some nostalgia, albeit in a much more modern presentation. Drums have this snazzy sharpness that creates this rhythmic pulse that glues all the pieces together; you get jangling guitars and melodies galore that climb through your speakers, all of it working well within the delightful contrast of the two vocal styles on display. This is the perfect Friday dance track you’ve been seeking, and it’ll be on the new Cathedrals LP, out April 25th via Safe Suburban Home Records.

Autocamper Share Summertime Single

What great news today, as two of our favorite labels are uniting for a joint release; Slumberland Records and Safe Suburban Home are coming together to release a fresh cassingle from Autocamper this Friday! You can hear the delightful “Summertime” track below, offering up a keyboard-laden bit of wayward pop. You’ll find the snappiness of the drums keeping the pace, pushing the song consistently forward; the vocals have to keep up, but they don’t, choosing to kind of focus on the turn of words and the backing notes to kind of build this swirling bit of melodic madness. Those running keyboard notes and quick drum hits deifnitely build in an infectiousness you won’t escape. The full cassingle is out Friday!

LP Gavin Share Launderette Euphoria Video

After a little blast from that earlier Nothing Natural tune, you’re likely ready to settle into your chair, then get right down to business, thus you’ll need to get this LP Gavin track on repeat. It’ll greet you with a little bit of a bluesy swagger, then churning it out with a bit of fuzz to make your speakers rattle. All the while, Gavin is just staying cool, detailing the little observations of the world he’s been able to make. There’s something in the vocals and the guitars that almost seems to drag a bit behind the beat, only to pick up again and launch into gritty little breakdowns and solo guitar chugs. Safe Suburban Home will be putting out a new LP in February of next year, so keep your ears ready.

Teenage Tom Petties Share Kissed Me in Seattle

The folks at Repeating Cloud and Safe Suburban Home have been hinting at new music from Teenage Tom Petties all week, and boy do we deserve this treat. On this new single, there’s almost a classic ditty feel, something that would have been catchy as hell back in the 50s, but gets a modern dust up by fueling it with walls of distortion that take the hook into the present. They’ve been flirting with catchy hooks since their inception, but this might be the peak, as you’re not going to find something as infectious as this new tune. Bonus points for an Alamo nod! You’ll hear this on the group’s new self-titled LP, which drop via the aforementioned labels on August 2nd.

R.E. Seraphin Shares Expendable Man

Our old pal R.E. Seraphin released this great track from his latest LP, but, as I was fairly busy, I had to be sure I celebrated its release one week later…so here we are. For me, this song’s all about the sort of rolling pop, be it the drums or the whispering fashion of Ray’s vocals this go round, there’s something in it that just seems like a roller coaster of gliding pop. You’ll also find some quick little spurts of snappy rhythm and emphatic vocals in the chorus, giving off just a wee bit of attitude to keep it in the realms of rock n’ roll. If you’re digging it, Fool’s Mate is out this Friday via Safe Suburban Home and Take a Turn Records!

Oort Clod Announce Cult Value

Both Repeating Cloud and Safe Suburban Home Records has been turning us onto some special hits the last couple of years, and now they’re adding Oort Clod to the mix. When I pressed play, there was something that felt nostalgic in the vocals, like a nod to the 50s rock n’ roll my mother played around the house as a kid. With that nostalgia, how does the band make it feel modern? They coat the tune in swirls of jangling guitar lines that twist and turn behind those doo-wop style vocals; the song gives off this sort of lo-fi gritty pop that should put the Manchester outfit on your radar. They drop Cult Value on April 5th!

R.E. Seraphin Preps Fool’s Mate + Shares Bound

Think we’ve got 2 degrees of separation from R.E. Seraphin, but that’s neither here nor there, as we’ve got a fresh LP and a new track that immediately require your attention. A light little jangle and a wash of atmosphere opens things up, with the song taking a propulsive bass line under its wings as they push towards a meet and greet with the melodic center force. Seraphin’s vocals have a really nice warm jacket atop, perhaps with a nod to the album’s producer Jason Quever (Papercuts)…and whatever, it’s a really nice move that really takes Ray’s songwriting to the next level. Fool’s Mate is the new album, dropping on March 22nd via Take a Turn Records and Safe Suburban Home Records.
