Drifting Psych Pop from Golden Daze

Leave a comment

goldenBe it the cover or the song itself, everything about this track screams psychedelic nod. Lucky for Golden Daze the execution is pretty spot on, and has just enough of a hint of pop accessibility to push it into my stream of listening. There’s a steady drift to the track, coming in all directions from the vocals, guitar sound and the song’s overall pacing. Something pleasant breaks through the song in the end, begging you to play it again and again, which is always a positive sign for any listener. Look for the group’s debut self-titled album on February 19th via Autumn Tone.

And Another Idiot Glee Track

Leave a comment

idiotaWhy not start off the week with another sweet tune from Idiot Glee? This tune has come in quick succession to the first single released, but I can see that we’ve all got to take note of this release as both of the singles are pretty special. There’s a likeness to Adam Green or Jens Lekman in the vocals on this tune, immediately holding a special place in my heart. But, I also like the way the song builds in the middle and end, piling sounds on to the voice of James Friley to create this huge wall of pop. Look for his new self-titled album on January 29th via Hop Hop Records.

More Music from Stutter Steps

Leave a comment

stutterstepsIf I haven’t told you guys how much I cherish the new album from Stutter Steps then perhaps I’ve made a huge mistake. The self-titled record is one of the few records that came across my desk this year that just didn’t fit in with the normal fare…in a good way. On this new track, you get a nice male versus female duel on the vocals, almost so perfect in its execution that the tune could survive without music. But, there’s this jangling indie rock approach by the band, bringing the song forward and pushing the energy fully behind the vocals. You can grab this album next week from Wild Kindness Records…and you’ll be wise to do so. 

Terrible Truths Finally Prep Debut

Leave a comment

Terrible Truths 2015 LP cover PRINT READYI feel like it’s been a long time coming, but it looks like the debut from Australia’s Terrible Truths is finally on its way. Several singles have floated about for years, and this is the second official single from the band.  It’s got an angular punch to it, tied in with a playful bounce to keep the groove running. There’s a whole lot to love from the vocal delivery; it’s almost bratty, but in an indifferent sort of way rather than just an angst-ridden tirade. Honestly, it’s all really refreshing, and it feels like the band is doing so much right with this tune. Their self-titled debut is out this week courtesy of Bedroom Suck Records.

Quiet Hollers Unleash Another Tune

Leave a comment

quiethollersI’ve really taken a liking to this new Quiet Hollers album, so why not take this opportunity to share another single from the album with you. While some of the songs on their self-titled record adhere more to the crossroads between punk and Americana, this one seems rooted in the warmer tones of the latter. Considering the band’s gotten comparisons to MMJ, it only seems natural that they add a bit of polish to that sound, making it their own. You can grab their s/t LP on October 23rd…and if you’re in Austin they’ll be playing the Blackheart on Sunday night.

Soliti Music Signs Puuunhalaaja

Leave a comment

puunIt’s Friday and it’s been a really slow week in the music world, which is perfect because I’ve had to get back and hunt to find some gems. Luckily, I didn’t have to search for this great track from Puunhalaaja; it was sent to me by our friends at Soliti Music. I think the hardest thing for American audiences will be that the music is sung in an entirely different language, which is the ONLY detractor. Musically, it’s a great piece of songwriting. The guitar has this intimate quality, and the vocals are really pleasant; I don’t even want to mention the nice symphonic touches that make me melt. This self-titled album will be released by Soliti on November 20th.

Intrigued By Billy Changer

Leave a comment

billchangerI have a mental list of my favorite labels, and when things get stale, or I feel like everything we’re posting comes after some cooler site premiered it, I go looking at labels. That’s when I discovered this rad tune from Billy Changer that really has me intrigued. It’s the latest release from Lolipop Records, though some form of the album appears to have been out for some time. It’s one of those tracks that gets stuck in your head, and you find yourself playing it on repeat over and over again. It’s a self-titled effort, so give it a listen when you get a chance. Stream it all HERE.

Another Song from Quiet Hollers

Leave a comment

quiethollersThose of you looking for a piece of Americana to warm your day, then I think you’re going to be best served by passing your day with the second single from Quiet Hollers. Much like their first single, this plays upon the traditions of combining ornate guitar work, strings and simple production to pull out the emotive notes, whilst the vocals cover the track in heavy solace. Up to now, the band has been hitting all the right notes for this listener, so I’m excited to hear the entirety of their new self-titled effort; it hits the streets on October 23rd.

Digging on This Quiet Hollers Tune

Leave a comment

quiethollersAs soon as this Quiet Hollers tune rolled out, I was hooked enough to play the track over and over again, with nothing else on my mind.  The vocals have a familiar air, similar to MMJ, but rather than jam it out in parts, I really enjoy the fact that the song has these minimal little movements, all brimming with hook-laden melodies. The band will release their self-titled LP on October 23rd just before heading out on the road to support it; they even have a date booked in Austin at the Blackheart. Have a feeling a lot of people will enjoy this jam.

Pleased to Meet You: The Butterscotch Cathedral

One comment

tbcOver the last several years I’ve been fortunate enough to get into the music of The Resonars, who’ve released several great LPs. Matt Rendon is stepping away from the project to work on his new act, The Butterscotch Cathedral.  It’s rumored to be Matt’s homage to the great works of the 60s, with some noting that the album might only have three exploratory tracks (whilst there seems to be some unconfirmed mentions of more than just those three tunes).  One thing I’m assured of, Rendon still has his finger on the pulse of my music listening, making nostalgic nods to his own influences while still caring enough to leave some pop sensibility.  Look for the s/t album from TBC on Trouble in Mind Records come October 2nd.
