La Securite Share Detour Single

Leave a comment

You’re going to throw a stabbing post punk guitar riff at me? Then follow it up with this infectious bass groove and a bit of bob-and-weave vocal stylings? Okay, I’ll follow you anywhere at that point, just like I will with a new La Securite single. And, as much as I love the hooks in the songwriting, there are some elements towards the latter half that just put the group in their groove, locking into the fun of building noise and letting the mixture swirl around until it all sounds absolutely perfect. This is the perfect reminder of how great the group are, and perhaps why I should go revisit Stay Safe!

12XU Readies Box of Dark Roses, the Final Mope Grooves LP

Leave a comment

I suppose that I could wait to toss Box of Dark Roses out with our casual Friday Album Streams, but seeing as 12XU got another track out before the release of the final Mope Grooves record, it feels as if I should shine a little more purposeful light in that direction. But, even as a fan of stevie and her work, it’s also hard to write about their efforts to fight for marginalized groups, particularly as a cis-white dude. All that to say, the new tune that’s been bopping around is a solid glimpse at the importance of the 27 songs coming our way Friday. There’s a propulsive beat that courses throughout, then layer upon layer get added, thickening the piece; you can get a glimpse of stevie’s process with the repeated line of “it is right to fight,” punching through the speakers. Personally, I love the piano notes that creep through the metallic backdrop, illustrating a sort of juxtaposition between the beauty and harshness the music is confronting. There’s a digital treatise of sorts from stevie, which you can read HERE. Otherwise, grab a copy of the LP on Friday!

 

2nd Grade Share Three New Singles

Leave a comment

This Friday you’ll be fortunate to spend some time with the brand new record from 2nd Grade, but we can’t quite get there without opening another bottle of singles to chug down. When matched up with the other tunes on the record thus far, there just seems to be this innate openness to the lyrical work from Peter Gill; there’s an honesty spread across the music that feels like the perfect setting for settling into a late Fall listen. Musically, the tracks all operate between the borders of power pop and huge bedroom alternative rock vibes; it’s as catchy as it is warm, lining up Scheduled Explosions as perhaps the last great album of the year; it drops Friday via Double Double Whammy.

Rosali Releases Hey Heron

Leave a comment

If you were paying attention to the Cardinals at the Window, the compilation benefitting flood victims, then you’ve possibly already indulged in this new Rosali song. But, seeing as she released a powerhouse record earlier this year, we wanted to point you in the direction of this single. There’s a slow burning guitar that courses through, reminiscent of the summer haze that we’re trying to escape down here in Texas. Take in the slow burn, then go dive into Bite Down, if you haven’t done so already. This tune is out there, like her album, courtesy of some label called Merge Records.

Geoffrey O’Connor Signs to Dinosaur City

Leave a comment

After several releases with Chapter Music, Geoffrey O’Connor has announced he’ll be working with Dinosaur City Records on his new LP. Atop of writing great pop songs, Geoffrey also creates his own videos, this go round opting to go with an adorable cutout penguin as his companion. The musical pieces around O’Connor’s voice highlight the majesty he’s offered since his earliest days in The Crayon Fields, boosting that croon into this infectious melody you can’t steal away from, nor is that your desire. I Love What We Do will be out on February 14th, with more pop hits to follow!

The Tubs Announce Cotton Crown

Leave a comment

While October isn’t quite over yet, we’re already starting to get a peek at what next year’s release schedule will look like, and the Tubs have another addition that you should keep your eyes upon. They open up the record with this new single, rushing through a slight jangle with a 90s alternative bent to it; the rush of energy allows the vocals to work their own magic, calmly sitting in the middle of the mix in crooner fashion, with some backing vocals layered in to bulk up the melodic feel. The nostalgia doesn’t feel dated here, with enough of a modern twist to make leave us thirsting for more! Cotton Crown will be out in March via Trouble in Mind.

Jam Nothing Natural’s Title Track to Cold Star

Leave a comment

In unforgivable blunders, I made a huge one by forgetting the release date of the new Nothing Natural LP; I’m only one man and there’s only so much room in this tiny brain! Alas, they dropped their brand new Cold Staron Friday via Cherub Dream Records, and it’s definitely one of those Monday albums; the sort that makes you crank up the volume and know that you can kick ass the rest of the week. There’s some noise tendencies tying it to the modern realm, but I also hear an allegiance to the work of the last two hum record, bridging guitar-monies and thundering drums to build walls of hook-laden rock n’ roll. If the song below gets under your skin, be sure to stop in for the rest of the record.

Last Week’s Jams (10.14 – 10.18)

Leave a comment

There was so much new music dropping last week that it was hard to keep track of it all, but I think with 22 new songs out there, we managed to do our part. Greg Mendez was a big winner, with a brand new EP we loved; I also definitely didn’t turn away from the fresh Innocence Mission, which maybe one of my favorite they’ve ever concocted. We had a premiere of a new Sunnsetter tune, and also hit up the latest from The Great Divides, so we’re kind of all over the place musically, making this playlist a journey of sorts. You can’t go wrong by pressing play below!

Bleak Streak Share Dark + Drop S/T LP

Leave a comment

Swedish outfit Bleak Streak weren’t on my radar until this track came our way, and now I’m devouring their new S/T LP. Every time I listen through the single we’re sharing below, it reminds me of a ramshackle version of Galaxie 500; the jangling pop dreaminess works throughout, though you’d likely feel as if the band over-indulged in caffeine, making some of the noisier parts pop a bit more instead of the warming to the melodic center. You’ll still find that there’s this cheerful sentiment that pervades the entirety of the tune, encouraging you to also dive into the band’s new record today!

Cali Bellow Shares Energizer (They Bring Me Flowers)

Leave a comment

Wanted to start the day off with this powerful new jam from Cali Bellow; as it feels like this fuzzy ripper that’s brimming with positivity, and we need that shit on a Friday. In a sense, it reminds me of that era of pop music that burst through the scenes when Animal Collective dabbled in pop, but there’s so much to enjoy, like the rough edges that sound like your speakers have officially been blown out (I hope that’s not the case!). The overlapping vocals create this dreamy hook that adds sentiment to this noise pop concoction. Keep a lookout for Ciao Bella, the new LP that drops next Friday via Fiadh Productions.
