Advertisement Share Victory

Leave a comment

Seattle based outfit Advertisement blew up onto the scene back in 2020 with the release of their stellar debut LP American Advertisement. Since then, only a few singles have dropped while the band toured extensively and prepped for a follow up to the debut. Well now your wait is over as the group just announced their sophomore effort Escorts with the release of this new single “Victory.” You’ll find a pure form of rock n roll that seems somewhat lost in the current landscape but is certainly welcome and fresh for this listener.

Pre-orders for the new album Escorts are live now. It’s due out September 15th via Feel It Records.

Sea Lemon Share New Single Cellar

Leave a comment

Seattle based artist Natalie Lew left a lasting impression on us during SXSW this year with her new recording project known as Sea Lemon. Sometimes booked between loud and noisy acts, it was hard to full get a hold on the tunes, but we could tell something special was brewing with the young artist. Her new single “Cellar” shows these hints of delicate sounds mixed with dreamy, airy vibes which first caught our attention back in March. This is sure to be the jumping off point for more great tunes to come this year.

Sea Lemon will be joining Hatchie on select dates on the west coast this fall. Tickets here.

Iffin Share New Single

Leave a comment

Our good friend Joe turned me onto this new Iffin single, which in a way, reminds of the electronic period of Patrick Wolf…and everyone knows I loved that stuff. It’s an interesting take on modern bedroom pop, with these chords that cut in faintly, then fade into fuzz, only for this propulsive beat to jump in and steal the entire spotlight. The vocal tones are read too, bringing in this heaviness in the tones that’s disguised a bit in the mix, which throws back to 80s club bangers my sister would bring home. There’s an added single to go along with this, which bleeds over into that sort of heavy pop that folks like Peel Dream Magazine have been crafting in the last few years. Give a listen.

Telehealth Share Taliesin Grid Video

Leave a comment

Telehealth seems like a band that’s willing to fulfill the promise of everything crafted in the 80s synth realm. They’ve got loads of hypnotic rhythms running through this new single, punctuated by these off-kilter notes, with all the sounds seemingly feuding with one another to grab the listener’s ear. Of course, with all those musical trappings, the vocals have to be sharp and spot on, which they are, emphatically delivered in quick bursts, which will likely recall some Devo nods at a certain point. So, if you’re into danceable post-punk with a nostalgic bent to it, might I suggest giving Content Oscillator a chance; it’s out on March 30th.

Spiral XP Share Deja Vu Video

Leave a comment

When I first turned on this new track from Seattle’s Spiral XP, I was feeling pretty targeted. The track comes in immediately with these soaring guitars, crashing, hinting at angular notes, though also with a penchant for 90s college rock vibes; the rollicking drums give the music just enough edge to hit hard. Suddenly, the curtain opens on the vocals and there’s this gooey sweetness pouring through my speakers, softened tones curling around inner ear. It’s like playful noise rock, toying with you by presenting as loud and boisterous, but secretly melodious and covered in hooks. The group will release their new It’s Been a While EP on February 17th via Danger Collective.

Straight Rocker From Fluung

Leave a comment

For the unfamiliar, Fluung is an indie rock n roll band from the musical mecca of Seattle, Washington. Harkening back to their city ancestors, the band has a very no nonsense, “let’s just rock” approach to their songs with an incredibly full sound for a three piece group. Latest single, “Decades”, is a prime example of Fluung showing off their post-punk, hints of grunge inspired brand of rock music. Check it out below.

This song will appear on new album The Vine due out October 14th via Setterwind Records on vinyl and Den Tapes on cassette.

New Age Healers Share Setting Sun

Leave a comment

Seattle’s New Age Healers will be releasing Demolition Stories later this summer, thus they’ve got to get the singles out into the world, like the latest “Setting Sun.” On my listens, it fits perfectly into where my favorite jams take me; there’s this explorative nature to it, be that sort of psychedelic or what have you, almost like a space-age version of many of the current shoegaze/dreampop acts. The vocals are sedate, hiding quietly in the middle of the mix, careful not to overpower the listener, but melodically moving the track forward. You’ll be able to get your hands on the new LP come this August, so keep your ears out!

Mt Fog Shares Behind a Silent Door Video

Leave a comment

Seattle’s Mt Fog is ready to mesmerize you with their latest video for “Behind a Silent Door,” with footage that matches up with the band’s description as forest folktronica; it uses some colorful digital sketching to fill in the background of found nature shots. Musically, you’re going to love what Carolyn B is doing with her craft, structuring electronic layer atop layer so as to build a musical landscape where her vocals can come in and out of focus. Interestingly, those vocal notes match the mystic quality of the music, like a playful forest dweller, running in and out of the trees, calling to you. If you can’t get lost in the natural world, then you can certainly lose yourself in this song.

Scarves Announce New LP

Leave a comment

I always forget how much I enjoy listening to Scarves. There’s something in the band that just screams Pacific Northwest, in its heyday. They’ve just announced their new album, their first since 2018’s Dinner Dates for the End of Days, and with it, they’re reminding us of their sound with “Heavy Eyes.” Something about Niko’s voice always reminds me of the earlier years of Built to Spill, when things weren’t quite so clean and the beauty was in the details that seemed misplaced. There’s also some similarities to early Death Cab, which I’m pretty sure is still okay to admit you liked (I did; I still do!), so if you’re feeling like you miss that PNW sound, then why not just listen to Scarves; their new album Delicate Creatures is out August 26th via Good Eye Records.

Video Premiere: Biblioteka – Tick Tock

Leave a comment

Today I am pumped to share with you all this video premiere for “Tick Tock” from Seattle based rock n roll band Biblioteka. It sort of gives off this very The Hives vibe with a touch of 60s era garage/fuzz rock. It’s a fun, rocking number with a trippy and trance inducing video to go along with the overall psych mantra of the track.

“Tick Tock will appear on Biblioteka’s new album entitled Pretty Ugly which is due out on July 24th via Freakout Records. We’ll mark out calendars.
