The Tubs Announce Dead Meat

Leave a comment

Having been a huge fan of their previous acts, side projects, not to mention grabbing the Names EP, it seems only fitting that I squeeze out a few quick words between passing periods on the Tubs. Today the band announce their debut LP, Dead Meat, slated for a release in January of next year via our faves Trouble in Mind. There’s a definite post-punk vibe on the guitar work, recalling acts like Omni and Deeper, though they’ve mixed up the formula to meet it on their own terms, brandishing a melodic little treat in the middle. All of this makes sense if you remember some of the pop moments coursing through Joanna Gruesome pieces, as the songwriters have always had an affinity for hooks. Kind of feels like they’re taking a little Talking Heads meets noisier post-punk approach, and I’m totally here for it. Dead Meat drops on January 23rd!

Magnus Frodahl Sand Shares Bioluminescence

Leave a comment

If you follow some of the Scandinavian metal, you’d like have heard from Magnus Frodahl Sand‘s Myrvandrer project, but he’s turning a little more pensive with his new solo work, as you’ll hear below. From the opening seconds, I was in love with the rhythm guitar sound; it’s light and faintly hints at jangling pop notes, letting Magnus come in with his ghostly cool vocal work. His voice seems to ride just atop the guitars for the most part, careful not to overextend itself volume-wise, so everything operates in perfect balance. And with this approach, it allows for the track to take on noisier elements that tie the tune to that mixture of noise and shoegaze. Enjoy.

Pale Dian Share Misanthrope Video + Release Feral Birth

Leave a comment

Austin’s Pale Dian have opted to craft you a record built perfectly for the haunting of souls this October, creating a collection of eleven songs that dwell somewhere in the realms of goth and dream pop. They’ve even enlisted Mitch Kramer to craft this incredible video for standout track “Misanthrope,” pulling in a combination of futurism and psychedelia that blends perfectly with the band’s sound. On my end, this song is all about the pacing. It’s like waking up and everything around you is moving in slow-motion; you can feel the tension and the reverberation of the band’s dreamy sounds billowing around you, closing in, but you can’t escape it…nor would you want to, as the beauty of the song supersedes your fear. Check out the super rad video below, and head HERE to stream the whole new LP, Feral Birth.

No Museums Share Folk Art

Leave a comment

No Museums are no stranger to these here Interweb pages, and I’m really stoked on this ripping tune they’ve just gotten out there. In this song, it feels like that sort of middling ground between noise exploration and meditative rock. There’s a guitar line, galloping like a wild horse through the song’s horizon, juxtaposed with this melodic vocal that sort of operates with some sort of pop gravitational pull. It feels like at any time the band could lose it and entirely let go, or, perhaps not. Interested to see if this is a precursor to a new album, but for now, I welcome the noise!

I Was a King Share Growing Wild Video

Leave a comment

A few weeks back we covered this great song from the forthcoming I Was a King LP, and now, I feel its in your best interest to remind you of the song’s powers by sharing their fresh new video. The last time I praised the band for maybe taking a step outside the expectations of power-pop, but this go round, let’s highlight Anne Lise Frokedal. Her stunning performance here should come as no surprise if you’ve listened to her solo work as Frokedal; I suggest checking out How We Made It. The more time I spend with this song, the more I’m almost frightened by how incredible it is. You should go grab one of the last remaining copies of Follow Me Home!

Field School Share Don’t Let This Moment Pass You By

Leave a comment

We’ve always been Charles Bert fans, having adored Math and Physics Club and more recently, Field School, but I feel like this new single is the perfect bit of guitar pop. Honestly, when the guitar line opened up and Bert’s voice entered the fray, I immediately felt like I was spending time with a Lucksmiths record I’d never heard. As the song goes on, the arrangement carefully plots its presence, making sure not to block out the shining rays of the melodic pop coming through your speakers. Thematically, the song’s reminding us to all try and stay present, or at least that’s how I’m interpreting it on my end. Such a brilliant tune here. When Summer Comes drops on November 18th via Bobo Integral.

Elizabeth Shares If You Died Video

Leave a comment

I’m super picky about my commercial pop, but there’s something soothing about a new Elizabeth tune. Her recent batch of singles has seen the Aussie songwriter move into a more modern pop twist, something that offers up immediacy in its hooks; you even get a faint little trickle of autotune on the vocals, which surprisingly worked for me (I’m not generally an autotune fanatic). It’s interesting to see the direction she’s turned towards, remember the early days of Totally Mild; there’s still the same sort of lyrical sentimentality, though spun in an entirely different fashion.And, not only is there a new video tied to the trio of new singles, but today also celebrates the reissue of the incredibly special The Wonderful World of Nature on hot-pink wax!

Old Fire Share Window Without a World ft. Julia Holter

Leave a comment

There’s this building tranquility in the forthcoming LP from John Mark Lapham’s Old Fire project, and perhaps no track on the album better epitomizes that than this carefully constructed new single, featuring Julia Holter. Everything about this tune feels like slow-motion, like some sort of glitch in the matrix where you can see/hear the goings-on, but only watch from your window. Julia’s voice is actually a sample Lapham used from “World,” but he’s almost made it robotic, which only increases the solitude of the vocal in the midst of this ever expansive tune. It’s really a quieting journey you won’t want to skip in this chaotic mess of a world. Voids will be out on November 4th via Western Vinyl.

Nada Ready Fin + Share Noche

Leave a comment

Obviously we’re extremely fascinated here at ATH by what’s going on in the Mexican scene, and thanks to Registros el Derrumbe, we can keep a closer idea on acts like Nada. On Friday, the band will be releasing Fin, their debut LP, and I keep coming back to the video for “Noche” time and time again. There’s this uncanny jaggedness to the tune, like its sort of an angular post punk tune performed as a haunting seance; it carefully creeps, lurching you forward inch by inch; the band begin to embellish the sound just a wee bit at the 1:30 mark, adding in the slightest dose of texture. This tune’s pretty brilliant, and absolutely why you should give their LP a listen on Friday.

Ovens Announce 44 Song Reissue

Leave a comment

I’m an avowed Tony Molina fan, and knowing part of his history, Ovens is definitely a huge piece, which is perhaps why the band are releasing a huge double LP 44 song reissue of their work via TankCrimes. There’s a couple of tracks to enjoy from the release, with one certainly nodding to the pop riffs Weezer was pulling off about the same time, but it includes the noted Molina brevity. The other tune still has a nice little bounce, but a little cleaner sound, hinting at some of the work Tony would pull into his later catalog. Regardless of whether you’re a TM fan or not, the collection has a bit for everyone, if you’re into power pop, punk, metal, emo; it all fits into the Ovens LP, which will drop on December 2nd.
