Silver Biplanes Announce New LP + Share Radiogram Video
A little over a year ago, Silver Biplanes dropped their debut, A Moment in the Sun; the album was filled with a sort of pastoral indiepop vibe, as Vanessa’s voice encompassed a nostalgic brand of pop we don’t hear often enough. Fast forward to today, and they’ve got a new single and a new record; they’ve described the new single as somewhere along the lines of “The Cardigans, Hawkwind, the Who and the Buggles.” Honestly, I don’t know what to make of that either, but it shows some of the exploration they take on with their new album, Traveling by Candlelight. You’ll get these little psychedelic nods in here, rolling around through washes of synths and guitar washes that coat the track in this dense pop haven. Sounds like they’re going to take the crisp joy of pop and see how far they can stretch it! You can get the new LP on April 2nd via WIAIWYA and Old Bad Habits.
You’d think in a short coverage week, we’d have few tunes, but there was so much great stuff last week, that we couldn’t help but to try and cover as much as we loved. Personally, I fawned over new Lachlan Denton, Cor de Luxand Tiny Ruins, plus continued my support for Spice World as Album of the Year. I also hit up the Austin scene with new stuff from Bayonne, Dorio, Fantastic Purple Spotsand Rad Gnar. RayRay loved that new Pile tune to death and premiered a new Strawberry Fuzz jam you can find lurking in here too. If we missed something super cool, let us know, otherwise, here’s a way to pass an hour of your day, happily.
