Fuzzy Hooks from WRITER

March 23, 2016 nathan.lankford Leave a comment

WRITER will be releasing their sophomore LP, Principle Web, this April, and I’m definitely digging on the latest single they’ve leaked before the release of the work. Fuzz-laden guitars push the track forward, whilst the calm vocal adds a different textural touch that enables it to endure repeated plays. There’s even a noisier element that makes its entry just after the 2.5 minute mark, in case you were worried you might find yourself labored by enjoying this too much. Look for the album April 8th via Small Plates Records.

New Synth Laden Pop From Gracie

January 18, 2013 RayRay Leave a comment

I’m sort of in an electronic mood today as I try to groove my way into the weekend with some head nodding synth-pop music. My mood is continuing in this vein with this new pop tune “Habits” from Philly based indie band Gracie. The band has a wealth of other material over on their bandcamp page so I’m surprised that we haven’t been turned on to them until just now. My bad. A new EP called Bleeder will be coming your way March 12th via Small Plates Records.

New Music From Field Mouse

January 17, 2012 RayRay Leave a comment

Here’s a new track from hazy dream pop outfit Field Mouse called “Glass”. The newish group definitely have a knack for creating entrancing pop music. This new song has just been released in support of a new 7″ from the band entitled SPROO8 due out February 28th on Small Plates Records. The tune below isn’t actually on that single so just enjoy and maybe pre-order their new release if you dig.
