Another New Album from No Museums

Leave a comment

Those of you with an inclination towards a classic indie rock sound should be sure to spend some time with this post, as nothing feels like the history of the sound more than what No Museums continue to offer. Whether you like a little bit of noise or a nice light strum, the Canadian outfit build all those pieces together, mashing all those little pieces into a unique collection of great albums. Lowways starts with a gem,”Index,” which is the perfect encapsulation of the aforementioned combination of sounds, though I’ve been quite keen on “It’s Snow, It’s Dark,” which oddly recall the Galaxie 500. If you have about thirty minutes, indulge me here, and just press play and get lost in the weaving of indie rock patterns you’ll find lurking below.

Ryli Share I Think I Need You Video

Leave a comment

You might not have Ryli on your Bingo Card, but chances are you’ve heard from members of the band via their various projects; the group features Yea-Ming Chen, as well as members of The Goods/Sonny and the Sunsets/RE Seraphin…all who’ve featured on this site. In this single, the remnants of their various works shine through, as the song opens up with a slice of that Cali-pop piece of pie; I certainly love the way the vocals hang beneath that bright Western guitar jangle that runs its course. Snappy drum work keeps the pace moving forward, which allows for a little toe-tap as Chen’s voice serenades you, begging for you to be “around.” Look for this on a brand new 7″ from Dandy Boy Records, all hitting on the 22nd of November.

Monthly Song from Red Sleeping Beauty

Leave a comment

If you thought you’d get through the month without a mention of Red Sleeping Beauty, you were wrong! They continue their One Song a Month Series with a fresh track that we’re here to cover for you, of course! Subtly beginning with a light tambourine jangle and piano line, the tune moves into a little bit more of a pulse as the groove locks you into the work. We get the male vocals on this go round, though that doesn’t change one drop of the melodious offering the group continue to give us; the chorus here is perhaps one of the best of the entire series, and it’ll make you want to cozy up with this song in your ear. Press play below.

Matthew Squires Shares Song of a Cactus

Leave a comment

If I had one complaint about Austin songwriter Matthew Squires it would be that he’s been too quiet as of late; he’s one of my favorites voices in the city, so I selfishly keep hoping for more. Alas we’re here to listen to this delightful new tune, which is the perfect bedroom pop gem, and a perfect place to get your Monday off to the right start. His distinctive vocal qualities continue to endear him to those of us looking for a wayward voice to guide us through life, though they might also recall D. Johnston comparisons. Listen carefully to the way the arrangements carefully build depth to the song, ultimately erupting when you get to the track’s end. Hope to hear more from Squires in the future!

Wussy Share Inhaler Video

Leave a comment

If you’ve been paying attention, Cincinnati Ohio is shaping up to be one of the best listens this year, and this new single just reaffirms my belief in that. When it begins, you’re thrust into this expansive ride along a cavernous bit of brooding indie rock; the vocals are presented lightly, like they’ve hitched a ride on the growl of the guitar beneath, aided by the percussive propulsion. Lisa gets the frontperson role this go-round, but at the 1:44 mark, she’s joined, adding a bit of ramshackle noise to the tune. The vocals are working against each other, kind of muddying things in the best fashion, and then they clear…and the track rides out on the road again, waiting for Lisa to take the rains. Back and forth, back and forth, perfecting the duality of sounds makes this new Wussy single one worth cranking up on your next road trip. They release Cininnati Ohio on November 15th via Shake It Records.

Stream Love in Mind from Mt. Misery

Leave a comment

Once Home No Longer made huge waves among all the fans of the softened brand of indiepop; it had charms galore, offering up great guitar sounds and comfort. On Mt. Misery‘s follow-up LP, you’re going to get a continuance of their sound. “Hey” is a bold opening statement, kicking off with an emphatic vocal punch that reminded me of some of the early Lodger tunes; the chorus opens up with smooth backing vocals to warm you over. It’s the big focus on shining melodies and strong syllabic deliveries that fill the entirety of Love In Mind; I love tracks like “YBP” that encourage a little bit of playfulness in the overall construction, setting up some nice little treats for the listener. Just imagine yourself falling in love at the intersection of Teenage Fanclub and the Lucksmiths, and that’s right where they hit you. Stream the whole new LP below, courtesy of Prefect Records!

Dreamcoaster Share Don’t Lie to Me

Leave a comment

Dreamcoaster released their So Long EP this past Spring, and today, they’ve offered up a nice new ditty to satiate your pop tastes on a Friday. This song reminds me of the early work of Luna, hanging on the edges of post-punk, but more interested in the melody than the pulse or noise. A mixture of male/female vocals offers up the perfect contrast, which spreads the melody across your room; they almost seem to stutter right before the chorus too, maximizing every sugary morsel you’re craving. If you love this tune (of course you do!), then please go revisit their So Long EP while you’re at it!

Stream Adrian Marner’s Remember Yourself

Leave a comment

Adrian Marner first popped up on our radar last year with the release of his debut The College Years; he’s got a fresh LP out today via Zerowell Records, and it feels like the perfect record to cozy up with a partner as the weather begins to change. Marner’s voice offers up this intimacy that we don’t get quite as often as we did decades ago; “Too Young to Understand” feels like he’s working his way through his thoughts and also his craft, wearing the process of both openly. “Camera 2” was a spectacular single, and it’s setting in the record drives the lonesome nature of the number right into your heart. Pair that up with closing number “The Great Escape,” and you might find yourself feeling like your revisiting the early Bright Eyes records, where imperfections charmed with sincerity; this whole record is full of those moments as Marner continues to push his songwriting. I’ve been loving “Dreamer” and “Buckle Up,” if you’re looking for numbers to start with, to kind of sample the goods. Remember Yourself is streaming below!

Crank Up Drag Me Under from Velociraptor

Leave a comment

Friday has me all up in my pop feelings; I’m just wanting to have a little bit of fun today, bounce around with my kids on their post-Halloween high. We’re kicking it around the house, and I’m cranking this through the speakers, as Velociraptor just bring the hooks. You’ll probably make some connections to the last Strokes record, and if I’m being honest, I don’t mind that one bit; it’s got a little bit of nostalgia, a little bit of cockiness in its presentation. Crank it all the way, particularly when you hit the chorus with the band, and you’re going to be spinning in your room like my little kids are right now. Let’s have some fun, and if you want more, be sure to check out the group’s Computer Future LP, which drops today!

Whalers Return with Love & Drugs

Leave a comment

Our early days as a blog had lots of coverage of Austin act, Whalers, but as life goes on, folks get busy…though that doesn’t mean the band haven’t been sprinkling the odd show and track into the ether. But, today, they officially return with a smoldering bit of indie rock, and we’re stoked to hear from the group again. They set the song up carefully, letting a little guitar line dangle and dance around with the vocals; they add in a little textural ambiance, waiting for the drums to pick up the pace. From there, the tune picks up speed, much like one would expect from the narrative of the lyrics, when love and drugs take over a relationship; you’re caught up and swept away by the swagger and swing that drives you towards the end!
