Beach Fossils Release Seconds

With a little under a month to go, we’re about halfway through the new Beach Fossils record, as far as singles go. Today comes one of my favorites from Bunny, holding tight to where the band first caught my ears long ago, but with a more modern charm, as I’ve hinted at previously. There’s something in this that feels like it’s jangling pop, though worked through the lens of an act like Papercuts (who’ve always felt jangle adjacent); there’s this sharpness combined with this pastoral calm, all of it coming to a head when the snare hits snap and the “ahh” vocal soars. It’s really hard to dislike anything from this band at the moment; Bunny drops on June 2nd via Bayonet.

Death of Pop Share Go Back Single

We’re about a month away from the release of a new Death of Pop LP, so why not spin that latest single from the James brothers. The band employs these little details that some reason seem to elevate their work above many of their peers, like the steady lite buzz in this tune, like you’re listening to one of your parent’s old records. In a sense, it’s like the dreamier bedroom pop version of Arab Strap, with a larger focus on melody and drenching the listener in electronic pop melodies that criss and cross. It’s like an old school feel, that’s refreshingly current with its dreamy notes. Seconds will be released by Hidden Bay Records and Discos de Kirlian on March 19th.

Entroducing Electric Pop Group

electricIt’s really difficult to turn away from Matinee Recordings (seriously, go to their page to browse for goodness) right now.  It seems that they just consistently release some of the most infectious pop groups.  Electric Pop Group is just another one of these bands, and I haven’t been able to get this band out of my head; I don’t think that I really want to either.  Okay, so it has a bit of that jangle pop sound everyone is using, but this track here, “Not By Another,” has really clean production.  You’ll find a slight bit of happiness invading your soul as soon as you put this on.  Their album Seconds should be hitting our shores soon!
