Another New Single from Kisses

Leave a comment

The Melbourne music scene has always been one of our favorite global pop scenes, and relative newcomers Kisses have been making some noise. They’ve got a brand new track for you to dive into, which is another slow burner, working over some light guitar lines that seem to stretch into eternity. What the group does with their overlapping vocal layers is what really gets me when listening through, as they add this textural depth that deepens the emotional connection to what the group are doing. Seems a simple enough song, but there’s some great depth if you just let it wash over you a bit. Comes at you courtesy of Bedroom Suck Records.

 

Shopfires Share We Could Fall Apart

Leave a comment

Felt like this week is all about finding the sparkle in those colder climes, and this brand new Shopfires track is the perfect little warm treat. The group’s newest single reminds me a lot of the latest Mary Onettes record, coiling itself around a dream pop stature while still allowing the shimmer of the guitars to tether the sound to a pop feel. There’s this little guitar interlude around the 2:18 mark that just crushed my soul in the best possible way, perfectly connecting to the softened melody of the vocals that runs through the song’s first half. Stream it below, and you get a bonus song!

Ancient Channels Drop Chimera

Leave a comment

After greeting you with some crisp jangling guitars, let’s turn the other direction and drop you into the cavernous gothic world of Ancient Channels. The Aussie outfit champion a dark wave brand of post-punk, fueled by a deep rhythmic groove and a passive vocal approach that gives off this sort of mystical quality to the song. I love the work of the cymbals, giving just the snappiness hint of pop in the swirling madness they’ve created. They’re working on a new record titled Static Spirit, so don’t hesitate to get into their sound now while we await further news of the record!

Julian Never Announce Everyday is Purgation

Leave a comment

It took one strum of the opening guitar line for me to get out my wallet and head over to the Mt. St. Mtn. web site to grab the new Julian Never; it’s the perfect ringing chime, and one that you’d expect me to adore. Then, as there’s some progression and the track adds layers, such as the softened croon of the vocals, I continue to fall further into the song. It’s interesting, as there are some wafting fog pop similarities, though this group’s approach is to lift the pop underbelly in the tune, instantly elevating it into a classic indiepop sound. Everyday is Purgation is shaping up to be a beauty; it drops on February 6th.

Dennis Callaci and L. Eugene Methe Announce Joint LP

Leave a comment

Music, more than ever, is a commodity; you’ve got to churn out hits and content to keep the algorithm happy, unless, you’re like Dennis Callaci and L. Eugene Methe. These two songwriters approach songwriting in a different fashion, pushing aside trends and genre studies to push for a purity. Today, we bring you news that the two have collaborated on a joint venture titled The Last Chance Lottery, where Methe handles the music and Callaci handles the vocals and wordsmithing. L. Eugene Methe’s craft can immediately set you on edge, beckoning from shadowy corners of harrowing atmospherics; this is furthered by Dennis’ performance, almost scratching at the speakers with the way his voice haunts the listener from the confines of what feels like a very cramped little space. It’s a captivating introduction to the LP, which arrives via Gertrude/Shrimper Records on January 23rd.

Bad Flamingo Share Shame

Leave a comment

The weather is cooling all over it seems, so perhaps you’re sitting with a warm drink, staring off into that fireplace or chiminea or firepit; your eyes will catch the flickering flames doing their deathly dance, and perhaps you’ll hear this track from Bad Flamingo. This new tune from the duo embraces the slow burn, opening the song with just a little flame, a light burn that begins to build, the flame growing larger as the duo builds the textures beneath the vocals. There’s this smokiness to the vocals, adding to the fire imagery, but a voice that straddles both country and indie rock in its presence, making this the perfect jam for the start to your day or a way to wrap it up as you cozy up for the night.

Jeanines Drop Winter Single

Leave a comment

I typically don’t fall for Holiday singles, but you know, maybe I’m seeing the world all wrong…and leave it to Jeanines to let me know the errors of my way. They dropped a brand new 7″ apparently over Thanksgiving, but Bandcamp is just now getting around to giving me the heads-up…which is their ONE job! Anyways, there’s always joy in my heart when I get a new hit from Jeanines, and their How Long Will it Last LP will be on my year-end list that will come before the year ends! Anyways, if you’re in search for delicious pop, you know that you can just hop over here and spend 3 plus minutes with two new Jeanines tunes!

Fazed on a Pony Shares Wrong Party

Leave a comment

When the latest single from Fazed on a Pony opens it doors, you better latch onto that galloping rhythm as it runs the course of the song’s entirety; it’s peppy, driving the tune forward at all times. Interestingly, even with a speedier bit of guitar work, Peter McCall manages to keep himself locked into his own performance, calmly delivering the vocals while the music moves at a speedier pace, crafting this perfect contrast. Speaking of that contrast, the space between gets filled with really nice string accents, fleshing out the sound into something larger than its parts. Really looking forward to hearing Swan, which drops on January 23rd via Meritorio Records and Melted Ice Cream.

New Single from Fiona Fiasco

Leave a comment

Normally, I like to kick off my Fridays with a banger, but felt like offering this new Fiona Fiasco single might be something that could set the tone for a reflective morning before bounding into the weekend. The production is really careful not to step across the vocals, as that’s one of the highlights of the tune, listening as Fiona lets her voice sort of rise, crest, then turn away in each poetic lines. In her approach, I can hear the artistry of Cate le Bon, and while the arrangements are careful, the way the strings buoy the emotions within makes the song swell with beauty. Definitely someone to keep your eye upon!

Charlie Diamond Shares The Diamond Dream

Leave a comment

The weather outside in Austin is dreary and wet, so I wanted a little stomper to kick our day off, so it’s perfect that I had this Charlie Diamond tune sitting in my pocket. Whether you like a little bit of country or a little bit of rock n’ roll, you won’t be able to deny the natural energy in Charlie’s newest single. The percussive bounce feels fitting, stepping in time with the heavy strum of the guitar, all of it buoyed by this soaring backing mono-syllabic note that just crests and boogies right alongside you. Best way to start your day is here!
