Hannah Lew Shares Another Single, Replica

Leave a comment

Reckon I’m traversing down the rabbithole of pulsating, rhythmic tunes to start our day here, and admittedly, there’s probably never a bad time for music from Hannah Lew either way. This tune actually offers you some real surprises, so if you haven’t already clicked play before reading my silly words, do so, then wait as you read. See, the track has this operative pulse; it moves the song, offering a sort of metronomic posturing with Lew singing atop. Washes of synth that match the pulse and vocals fit into a nice little capsule of joy, but then it all drops out at 1:08 as a directional change takes control, spinning this electro-clash vibe that I’m not out. It changes again too, with another thicker sample working beneath, and you’re hopefully left mesmerized by the craftsmanship. Her self-titled LP is out April 10th via Night School Records.

Telephone Romeo Announces Self-Titled LP

Leave a comment

It’s always great to open up a barrage of emails and find one from our friends over in Finland alerting us to new music on their end, like Telephone Romeo. The project is one that’s been bubbling in the Helsinki scene for a bit, working out sounds and textures and finding its way; that day has come to a head with a new single and an announcement of an LP! I liked the guitar sounds here, reminiscent of that last Strokes record, which I admittedly love; it’s an angular vibe rooted in the breadcrumbs of new wave. Here, however, the track has this steadied croon to it, embracing the melodic center of this tootsie roll pop number. Telephone Romeo will be out on June 5th via Soliti Music.

Wendy Eisenberg Shares Vanity Paradox

Leave a comment

When I got this new Wendy Eisenberg tune in, I really loved the way there was this sort of saw of ambience sweeping across while a percussive note kept a metronomic beat beneath, letting the guitars bend and break between the vocal lines. Brief moments display the improvisational movements Eisenberg is known for, but it’s not until after the 2 minute mark that her voice begins to play its part in the track’s ever expanding sound; it rises up and down with little crumbs of whimsy, then it all pulls away to let the accompaniment have a little light and joy from within the song’s confines. A light marvel, and one you’ll surely enjoy when you grab her new self-titled album, out April 3rd!

Night Moth Share Horse Single

Leave a comment

This new single from Night Moth is certainly something that’s going to peak your interest, at least if you’re into the current indie climate. While brief, “Horse” offers some hints at the group’s nostalgic alternative rock feel; there’s a slight bit of grunginess to the guitar sound, contrasting against the cooled calm of the vocals. They slither through the verses, cresting at the right time to deliver this subtle hook that makes me love every moment of this song. Brevity will have you circling back, and in that, you’re going to want to keep an eye out for their self-titled album, out next Friday, the 13th!

Hannah Lew Shares Sunday

Leave a comment

Hannah Lew‘s new record is going to be absolutely huge, if not commercially, at least in the aim of the musical element. On the latest single from the LP, we get Lew building a world of pulsating synthesizer lines; these are done in a classic fashion, that’s reminiscent of every brilliant moment on your favorite 80s movie! The dreamy approach of the vocals is certainly one that lurks in the shadows, allowing the vibrant rhythmic beat to pop and push the pacing of the tune. You also get a nice video accompaniment here, with director Luciano Talpini Aita exclaiming that the film footage is a reflection of “simpler times from my childhood.” You can grab the self-titled debut on April 10th via Night School Records.

Bearhugger Share Infinity Stars

Leave a comment

Jeremy Joseph is an incredibly busy individual, participating in an array of acts from Daddy Lion to Glowing Screens; he’s currently working on his solo stuff under the Bearhugger moniker. This first single is a slow electronic burn, with the sharp electronic tones rising to the top, then falling into a twinkling mixture when the chorus arrives. I loved that there’s just this sedated feel to the tune, kind of like this pop homeostasis where we get to treasure our own emotions as we bask in the brightness of the melody. You’ll get to hear this song, amongst others, on the self-titled LP, which is being handled by Zerowell Records.

Hannah Lew Announces Self-Titled LP

Leave a comment

We’ve spent a fair amount of time writing about Grass Widow associated musical projects, so it feels only natural that we get a few words concerning Hannah Lew‘s debut LP. When you click play below, you’re going to be greeted by complete nostalgia, in so many ways; the video full of neon notes and tracers feels very much like an early MTV moment, and while that also works in terms of the music, I tend to push on 20 years into the early 00s. The music, of which I’m sure Hannah was aware, was thick with club beats and heavy grooves, sort of immersing us all in this dark brand of pop disco…Soviet comes to mind for me here. There’s this beautiful pullback around the 2.24 mark, letting angelic drifts filter out while a steady synthetic sound slides sneakily towards the stomping stop. The self-titled debut will be out on April 10th via Night School Records.

Circling Back to Devereux Scales

Leave a comment

In going through all the old emails from this year, it looks like I’ve missed a ton of really great music, like Devereux Scales, who released their self-titled LP a few months back. They’ve got this sound that’s reminiscent of Galaxie 500, at least if you’re going by the song we’re sharing below. It exhibits this deliberate patience, circling overhead with these delighting angularities. They seduce you with their vocal interplay, layering with this slightly angelic backing vocal to lift the tune’s melody right to our ears. And, if you thought everything was all beauty and crispness, then hold out for the latter half of the tune where they explore a heavier sonic stretch. Their self-titled LP is available for your listening pleasure right now!

Did You Hear Piggietails Self-Titled LP

Leave a comment

I know for a fact there is at least one person in the world that comes to this site to see what we’re unearthing from the Australian scene, as we love to cover the region’s sound. Piggietails popped up on our radar a few weeks back with a single from their self-titled LP; it reminded me of the the sort of disinterested pop that was coming out of Melbourne in the mid-2010 era. Their album fulfills on all those promises, with various members taking over the role of vocalist, so while the sound might be subtle, the charms change in and out, leaving you with a lasting impression that’ll have you coming back. Personally, I’ve been digging “And I’m Alright” and its circular craft, but that’s just me! Check out Piggietails, courtesy of Spoilsport Records.

The Cords Release When You Say Goodbye

Leave a comment

While we often comment on the youthfulness of the Cords, it has become more than clear that the duo have no intention of shying away from big pop tracks. I mean, if this track had come out in the 90s, it would have made it onto every single soundtrack or mixtape that came our way. There’s ringing guitars and a left-of-the-dial sentiment, all of it circling like a buzzard high above a horde of pop fans such as ourselves, each one of willing to drop, if only to have these delightful songs play again. Bright pop music might have faded, but songs this good don’t come out every day; you’ll want to grab the self-titled LP on September 26th, courtesy of Slumberland/Skep Wax.
