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.

Piggietails Drop CDs

Leave a comment

Up and coming Melbourne outfit Piggietails were only recently introduced to us over here at ATH, but with another solid number coming our way, it’s hard to ignore the new act as they push towards the release of their self-titled debut. If you’re a fan of the Aussie scene, you’ll hear some faint similarities, as the band can’t have avoided the sweet jangles of their homeland. But, with that in mind, they seem to take a broader brushstroke on this one, sort of embracing a Velvet Underground approach to letting the music make its own path, discarding all adherence to style in favor of just letting it rip. Stoked to hear the group making this sound all their own, putting Piggietails on my own personal anticipatory list; it drops via Spoilsport Records on September 19th.

The Cords Announce Debut Record

Leave a comment

It looks like I’ll be giving all my money this year to Slumberland/Skep Wax, as the two powerhouse labels have announced another joint release that I’m surely picking up. Today, the Cords have announced their debut self-titled album, and the new single picks up on all the promise they’ve displayed in the handful of singles that have popped up over the last couple of years. It’s an energetic rush of jangling guitars and steadfast drumming, snappy in the right spots while your cup is brimming with the melodic hooks on the vocal front. There is an innocence that pervades this tune, something that just allows you to lift your head above the foggy clouds of the sad world we live in, and for a moment, catch your breath and relish the joy in the simple things. Really looking forward to the entirety of their debut; it drops on September 26th.
