The Matthew Teardrop Orchestra Drop Hard Feelings Video

Leave a comment

Wanted you to wake up this morning with some riotous energy, and what better way to embark on that journey than to grab a hold of a new video from The Matthew Teardrop Orchestra. Last last year, they dropped their excellent self-titled EP, and one of the standout tunes now gets the proper video treatment, giving us the opportunity to throw some weight. This song is as anthemic as it gets, with the constant howl of “hard feeling” hitting the listener time and time again; it brings me great joy to just belt this one out at the top of my lungs, just as Matthew Teardrop does! They carry their punk aesthetics throughout their hometown of Detroit, and in the back of a van, illustrating their ties to their home and the joy with which they approach their songwriting. Crank it up my friends. Grab the EP over HERE.

Triathalon Announces Funeral Music

Leave a comment

Out of a period of heartbreak, hardship and ruminating on memorial service music, Triathalon have come out swinging for their new album, Funeral Music. Their balancing act between heavy riffs and gently whisper-sung vocals is absolutely perfect; they even use these screaming squalls of feedback to shoot across like sonic stars of noise that break through. It’s like a metal song, but with personality; take the twinkling little key notes and the ebb/flow of vocal tones and there’s this brilliant heavy pop song just hang out there perfectly. Each crest and crash just fills every inch of space with absolute power, and if I’m being honest, this might be the jam of the week…and we’re just getting started! The new LP is out May 16th via Lex Records.

Wails Drop Lights Out Single

Leave a comment

While the Austin scene started off the year on a roll, we look East towards our H-Town neighbors to talk about Wails, as they drop a brand new single that’s been on rotation throughout the weekend. There’s this circular ring to the track, offering up an atmosphere that reverberates from start to finish; it sets the song up perfectly with a warmth that supports the vocals. That voice tiptoes in the midst of the misty center, seemingly rising up to meet some punctuated percussive elements, all of it swelling and textured with a beautiful wall of drama. You’ll find the track on the group’s next EP, which will be out this Spring!

Last Week’s Jams (2.10 – 2.14)

Leave a comment

It started off a little slow and strange, but those keeping their eye on the prize knew we’d be in for a crazy end to the week, as there were releases dropping left and right. We skipped the album cycle to mostly focus on fresh singles, though we gave nods to records that came our way by the likes of Frog, Horsegirl, JJ Sweetheart and a few more. They’ve all got some great individual tracks in this great playlist, but we’re starting you off with Lowmoon‘s new jam, which is the perfect nostalgic bit of dream pop, which then moves right into Club 8‘s most recent banger. Some longer tunes rom Echo Delay, Cross Record and Consumables are within, but we tried to balance that out with some little joys. Also, don’t forget to check out Michael Maly’s review of the recent MJ Lenderman set at Emos!

Lowmoon Drops Won’t Change Your Mind Video

Leave a comment

Been a bit all over the musical map this morning, with a little of this and a little of that, but really excited for the dream pop vibes on this new single from Lowmoon. The Yorkshire-based project is certainly crafting some nostalgia, albeit in a much more modern presentation. Drums have this snazzy sharpness that creates this rhythmic pulse that glues all the pieces together; you get jangling guitars and melodies galore that climb through your speakers, all of it working well within the delightful contrast of the two vocal styles on display. This is the perfect Friday dance track you’ve been seeking, and it’ll be on the new Cathedrals LP, out April 25th via Safe Suburban Home Records.

Tom Henry Drops Art House

Leave a comment

While you’re getting bombarded by all the great releases today, you’ll also find some little treasures in the music world of singles, like this new Tom Henry track. Something in the craft of this song finds me reminiscing on my childhood growing up and listening to 50s rock n’ roll songs, though you can also kind of hear bits of Costello or Lowe in the delivery. That natural boogie inclination shouldn’t be discarded, with a ditty-worthy exploding in the chorus where you’re drawn into a classic doo-wop vibe; you’ll want to grab your Valentine and swing them about your living quarters. Henry will release Songs to Sing and Dance To on June 27th via Royal Oakie.

Echo Delay Give You A Moment of Joy

Leave a comment

There are a lot of really great albums coming out this week, and for me, the one that’s probably sliding under your radar is this new LP from Denmark’s Echo Delay. They’re playing with psychedelic tropes, particularly in the first minute of guitar noodling here. But, then while that aura maintains the status quo, the vocals come into play as a kind of quieted public speech; they’re seemingly spoken, rather than sung, with some vocal effects creating this disorienting gloriousness you’ll dive right into. So, if slow burning psychedelia seems to be your thing, sneak around through the caverns of The Second Bardo and you’ll be sure to uncover treasures!

JJ Sweetheart Share Cinnamom + Drops Big Things

Leave a comment

If you go back nearly a decade (yes, we’ve been around that long!), we first met JJ Sweetheart when he was part of France Camp. But, today, he dips his toes into the solo realm, releasing his Big Things EP. When you click on the button below you’ll hear one of the attractions that drew me to his earlier work, which is this soulful tinge of pop; he spins it here through a sort of lo-fi bedroom manifesto, with a soaring chorus that really highlights the magic you want to find in a great pop song. In a sense, it feels like early Generationals, spun with a little bit more of a DIY ethos. Enjoy below, then pop to hear the rest of the EP at Bandcamp.

Horsegirl’s Frontrunner Video

Leave a comment

Hopefully you got wind of the latest Horsegirl single yesterday when all the big sites hit us with it, but admittedly, I’m in love with this record, and am just going to post every track that I can. This one peels back some of the energy of their earlier singles from Phonetics On and On, but it also illustrates that they’ve mastered simplicity in every corner of the album, as even more intimate songs offer up layers of brilliance you won’t be able to escape. If you haven’t already gotten on the Horsegirl train, do so before the new record drops this Friday via Matador Records.

Amy Millan Announces I Went to Find You

Leave a comment

Stars and Broken Social Scene play a huge role in the Lankford household, so seeing that there’s new music from Amy Millan is always going to pique my interest. Her new single offers up a maturity and elegance that’s always been lurking, but to hear it now, decades removed from when I first heard Milan’s work, it has this sensational warmth to it; it’s almost like poolside slow jams, albeit one sung by a voice so familiar it puts your heart/mind at ease. She’s also focusing on acceptance that comes with age and understanding, saying she’s learned to “embrace the difficult bits, the footprint that made me what I am.” Life lessons and musical eloquence? I’m in. I Went to Find You is out May 30th.
