More Eaze and Lynn Avery Are Pink Must

Leave a comment

Both Lynn Avery and More Eaze have been playing left of the indie rock center with their various projects, but now they’ve united under the Pink Must umbrella. They’ve just set the world in motion for their self-titled debut, and we’ve got the delightful opening track here for you. The tune operates with a bit of bedroom groove work, mostly working on an electronic spectrum; the beat is manipulated and toyed with, warping it into something new at each turn. How? Well, they’ll completely stop in some spots, layer with grumbling guitar notes, or bend guitar notes into dissonance, allowing the shape to twist and reform each time. They’ll release Pink Must on February 28th.

Lala Salama – Kuva Susta

Leave a comment

If you’re not paying attention to our coverage of the Finnish scene, don’t skip over the tunes we’re bringing you today. The simplistic opening 26 seconds of this new Lala Salama track had me floored, light in nature, but weighted in its tonal approach. When the vocals come into the light, the tune immediately begins to awaken; the buds are careful to open, like they’re shaking off the Winter freeze before suddenly the guitars are distorted and the tune’s right in your face! There’s such a huge sound waiting for you if you can only unlock the listen below. Look for their debut LP in March via All That Plazz.

Roller Derby Offer Last Night Video

Leave a comment

We’ve always been avid fans of Roller Derby, though when they changed the line-up, we wondered what would come of their debut album…particularly after being one of our favorite acts when they arrived at SXSW. But, after a bit of quiet, they’ve been in full force since last year, and now are set to release When the Night Comes, their debut LP. This new single has all the magic of their early work, though the maturity in the craft reveals the depth of their craft; if you listen to the plot twist at 2:20, you’ll hear a band moving beyond the confines of their sound. When the Night Comes is set to be released on February 28th.

Caroline Strickland Shares Prettiest Girl of Heaven

Leave a comment

When I first heard this Caroline Strickland tune, there was something in it that felt so moving and powerful, like when I first head Sharon Van Etten’s “Serpents.” It had that same sort of traditional indie rock songwriting, though coated in this almost gothic vocal, like a pained soul doing all they could to contain themselves. And just as I thought the song had delightfully settled into it’s own skin, the 2:30 mark hits and there’s a nice little plot twist with a choral of voices singing the refrain of “you are one of the prettiest girls of heaven,” adding a nice little touch to close the tune out. Caroline’s new Martha’s Calling EP will be out on March 7th via Good Eye Records.

 

Delivery – Deadlines Video

Leave a comment

One of the acts braving long flights to come into SXSW this Spring is Delivery, and I’ve been pretty stoked with the work they’ve been cranking out lately. Today, they’ve got another single from their Force Majeure LP, and as we’ve come to expect, they take a note from their Oceanic peers, but then ramp it up with a bit pace and attitude; it’s more of a straight-ahead rocker, but it doesn’t miss a single step in terms of its natural charms. This new single arrives just in time for you to fall in love with their pattern of switching up vocalists, then you can grab the new LP tomorrow when it drops via Heavenly.

Dusty Lucite Release Video for The Reddest Flag

Leave a comment

You’re bound to missing something out here in the music realms, which is why I’m bummed I spaced out on the steady swagger of Portland’s Dusty Lucite. Musically, the song’s pretty light, working with a simple guitar that kind of hangs back like a little cold winter air blowing across the frozen grounds. But, it’s the vocals that catch me; they’re restrained to a degree, but you can feel their boldness, akin to Quinnisa from Big Blood. There’s such power, and even if you think she’s being held back, your still smacked with those huge musical pipes. Check out the recent Normal Harder LP if you’re into it!

Dropkick Share Snowflakes Single

Leave a comment

When I pressed play on the new single from Dropkick, I instantly though there were going to be huge bursts coursing through here; the guitars have a bit of bite to them. Of course, as soon as the vocals come in, the tune twists into it’s typical whispering charms, reveling in the cooled vocals that serve as the gravitational force that pushes the band forward. Even with that velvety core, this song’s production just makes things feel infinitely huge, much like you found in early TFC tracks, which is a valid comparison to make here. Really excited to get to the whole of Primary Colours; it drops via Bobo Integral on February 2nd.

The Tubs Drop Narcissist Single

Leave a comment

When the swing of the guitars twisted into a nice little noodle, the latest track from The Tubs immediately had my attention. All of that just clears the path for Owen Williams distinctive croon; it’s got a heavy weight to it, though he’s clearly swinging for the pop notes…they even get a nice added texture from a female vocalist too. While my ears can hear the jangle, the mix on the group’s work always seems to kind of disguise that, sort of like the great works of the Go-Betweens. You get the feeling that Cotton Crown is going to be something special; it drops via Trouble in Mind Records on March 7th. They’ve also got an Austin show, as well as a bunch of US tour dates in the Spring with the Wedding Present!

Ceylon Sailor Release All Promises Will Break Eventually

Leave a comment

When I first put on this Ceylon Sailor track, it was definitely the heavy strum of the guitar that caught my ear, but the track soon revealed more that awaited my listening excursion. I was greeted by a bold blast of horns and a push in the range of the vocals, all of it still working with that thunderous strum as the backbone. Each little rise and fall turned into an added gift that my ears happily consumed, turning over and over as each melodic note rises and falls right into my arms. Excited to run through this track a couple hundred times today.

Charm School Slow Jam On Without a Doubt

Leave a comment

Imagine if Interpol weren’t so pretentious, choosing to revel in the pop side of their craft rather than push for some overly-emotive brand of post-punk. If you’ve got that sound in your mind, you’ve got the feel of the newest Charm School single, dwelling in the ethereal slowness the genre offers. At times, it seems like a bold croon, allowing the vocals to creep around behind the guitars, and in doing so, you get to kind of spin yourself about, twirling about with the crisp ring before it erupts into cacophony. Steadied and bold, this track hits the right spots; look for Debt Forever on January 24th via Surprise Mind.
