Hotel Hugo Share Indie Rock Jam

Leave a comment

Admittedly, I’ve maybe pushed myself further left of the dial than where this site began nearly 20 years ago, but I still love to call classic indie rock sounds home from time to time. Thus, I came upon this Hotel Hugo track, offering up these giant sweeping notes of rock n’ roll, with a little bit of Americana swagger to them. Peppered drum rolls give the track a swing that opens the guitar up to a broad expanse of melody, wherein the vocals just rise and rise and rise. It’s a nice little piece that rolls through your speakers like a tumbleweed in a windstorm, mixing both danger and beauty at once. Start your day here.

Pop Filter Share Exactly Where I Want to Be

Leave a comment

We’ve had a few energetic pop rock tunes from Pop Filter and their new LP, but today, you get a bit more of that slow burn that feels perfect as we stretch into the late Summer vibes. There are so many excellent moments on this singular track, you’ll be circling back to find your favorite little momentary nugget to store in your brain. Deep vocal tones? Sure. Bits of sweeping strings, carefully placed? No doubt. Meandering solo? Indeed. Joyous gang vocals? You bet. Put it all together and you’ve got this melancholic march that celebrates the group’s emotional consistency and celebrated unity as a band. This track is on Ray and Lorraine’s, the new LP out on October 4th via Bobo Integral.

 

AUTOS Share Stay Clean

Leave a comment

If you’re looking for a rad power pop tune to crank up in your stereo, might we guide you to the latest track from Santa Cruz outfit, AUTOS. At the moment, they’re wrapping up the finishing touches on a new EP, but are tossing out a staggering smash to keep your eyes on the prize here. When the tune kicks off, it almost teases retreading garage rock, only to stutter and bring in a bit more of a pop swagger, snapping with drum hits and riffs that are begging to be freed. There’s a certain point where they can take it no more and let loose with the expected swagger that keeps the tune cool! This song brought to you by Dandy Boy Records, who will drop the EP next year.

Nothing Natural Return with Cold Star LP

Leave a comment

We were on board last year when Nothing Natural unleashed their NN EP, and now that they’ve got a full length ready to rock, I’m definitely ready for the band to unleash hooks and heavy noise right into my ear canal. You’ll notice they punch right away, almost like they’re brandishing walls of guitars borrowed from late 90s alt rock acts. They turn those big chords into hooks, however, letting the listener dive deep into the cool waters of booming power rock. Such a powerful statement that hopefully has you considering more from the band; they release Cold Star on October 18th via Cherub Dream.

Military Genius Announces Scarred For Life

Leave a comment

Bryce Cloghesy’s Military Genius project tends to be a far cry from his work in both NOV3L and Crack Cloud, but that’s perhaps one of the moments you get sucked right into the craft. Today he announces a new LP, Scarred For Life, playing on these jazzy structures that quietly lurk in the corners of your room while Bryce’s voice towers. Despite holding to heavy tones, there are certainly moments when the song’s seduction relies upon the pure fragility of the vocals. There’s something so powerful and emotive in the pull of this track, and we can’t wait to be swept away by the new record; it hits on November 1st via Unheard of Hope.

Mariin K Shares Beach Single

Leave a comment

If you’re not really up on your Estonia music scene, might we suggest checking out Seksound for the best in the Estonian scene; the label that brought you hits from Pia Fraus and more. Today, we’re really digging this new single from Mariin K, which blends huge fuzzy noise pop sounds akin to JAMC with these really tasty vocal morsels, little earworm treats that you’ll be gobbling right up. This is the perfect juxtaposition, as the track is coated in striking noise, though that central pop gravitational force similarly draws you right into the depths of this tune. Definitely a tune that can improve your day!

Love, Burns Shares Just for a While

Leave a comment

Your Monday just got a whole lot better, particularly if you’re a pop aficionado! Love, Burns just recently announce a brand new mini-album, bringing a classic style of pop back into our life. You’re probably thinking that the likes of Chime School and others have done their job, but Phil Sutton’s vocals have this brilliant croon to them, which has always resonated with my own tastes. And yes, there’s jangles and playful percussion giving life to Sutton’s voice, letting the tune brim with a crystalline brand of pleasurable pop vibes. You’ll hear this song on Blue, the new release that drops on September 6th via KUS.

 

Dummy Share Blue Dada Video

Leave a comment

Those of you who continue to look for Dummy to repeat themselves on Free Energy are going to be drastically disappointed. They’ve taken their flirtation with beats and techno grooves and given them the freedom to take the lead, whilst the group workout ways to add bulk to the vibe. For nearly two minutes, the group flirt with a sort of trippy brand of house pop, letting these subtle ,shadowy melodies run amok amidst thickened beats; you’ll find a stark change in direction at the 2 minute mark, where the band rolls out a more rock oriented vibe. Guitars ring out quickly, building another blanket of warmth within the song, furthered as the vocals wrestle with one another while guitar squiggles of noise squeeze through the speakers. Free Energy finds the group continuing to push this genre to extremes; you can grab it on September 6th via Trouble in Mind Records.

Bondo Shares Harmonica Single

Leave a comment

Imagine a world where folks got together for a listening parking garage listening party, a la Zaireeka!. If you can place that, think of one side of the garage spinning instrumental Fugazi tunes while the far end is spitting out the artier side of Pinback or maybe even Bedhead; this gives you the feel of the latest track from LA’s Bondo. It’s not quite aggressive enough to fall into that punk category, but you get the feel that they’re hanging just beneath that edge, ready to pop out if the need be. They’re careful weaving in this tune makes you feel like the tune’s just one sonic layer upon layer, built for your daily escape into madness. They’ll drop their new LP, Harmonica, on October 18th via Dayend Records.

Ohr Share Runaway Video

Leave a comment

When you wake up on a Monday, sometimes you just want to spin right into the world, and I think if you give this new jam from Seattle’s Ohr a play or two you’re going to fall in love with what’s outside your door, even if its only for a minute. There’s that same pulsing rhythm and groove that filled the minutes on old LCD Soundsystem records, though when its done here, there’s a softer skin, as if the melody’s saturated the track, putting the hook just behind the front of the mix. Don’t get me wrong, there’s still a spiritual freedom in this jam, but I love that it’s slight more of a mist of pop as opposed to a cliche downpour of beats. This tune appears on Afterglow, which drops this Friday!
