More New Music from Winged Wheel

Leave a comment

Not too long ago we were discussing the meditative nature of the first single on the new Winged Wheel LP, but as one would expect from a group of well-seasoned songwriters, their latest track ventures off on a different path. This single almost feels like a lost transmission, with the vocals distant in their presentation; they carefully tip-toe around each little bent guitar line. Careful ears will find a bobbing little bass line maneuvering beneath, holding the tune together as the transmission reverberates in your listening space, all before crashing into each other and fading out in proper fashion. Their new LP, Desert So Green, will be out on January 9th via 12XU Records.

Listen to Title Track from Bird Friend’s New LP

Leave a comment

Just last week, Bird Friend released their new long-player, Goodbye, Babylon, and I’ve definitely felt at home listening to the record’s blended styles. At times you can almost hear the guitar ghosts of various acts like the Feelies or the Bats; they embrace a mixture of sharp notes leaning up against really solid strummed acoustics. Typically, that would be enough, though I’d be lying if I didn’t own up to loving the earnestness of the vocal work on the tune; it feels alive in the recording, and that, in turn makes me feel alive within the track too. If you’re enjoying, then you’ll want to listen to the whole of Goodbye, Babylon right HERE.

New Music from Cameron Sonnier

Leave a comment

If you’re a person who loves the style and craft of a good singer-songwriter, then we hope you’ve been listening as we’ve hyped up Houstonian artist Cameron Sonnier. When listening through to his latest single, there’s something that reminds me a lot of the recent Tony Molina record, albeit done in Cameron’s own style, which fleshes more of the underlying ambiance by texturizing with synthetic structures. It’s the sort of tune that’ll let you sit back and soak in the cozy melodies of Sonnier’s work. Looking forward to hearing more from Cameron in the new year.

Circling Back to Devereux Scales

Leave a comment

In going through all the old emails from this year, it looks like I’ve missed a ton of really great music, like Devereux Scales, who released their self-titled LP a few months back. They’ve got this sound that’s reminiscent of Galaxie 500, at least if you’re going by the song we’re sharing below. It exhibits this deliberate patience, circling overhead with these delighting angularities. They seduce you with their vocal interplay, layering with this slightly angelic backing vocal to lift the tune’s melody right to our ears. And, if you thought everything was all beauty and crispness, then hold out for the latter half of the tune where they explore a heavier sonic stretch. Their self-titled LP is available for your listening pleasure right now!

Funny Feelings Prep Under the Pit

Leave a comment

As I continue looking towards next year, there’s several acts just waiting in my emails for you to enjoy, like Funny Feelings. This a new project from members of Gross Relations, and upon listening to the tracks available from their forthcoming LP, it seems like they’re in this sort of sedated guitar pop realm. The tune’s are coated in a fair amount of fuzz, though they’re centered around a light bop that would fit into any number of pop projects coming out of the indie sphere at the moment. Their album Under the Pit hits on January 13th, so pencil in another early 2026 buy!

Shintaro Sakamoto Shares Is There a Place For You There

Leave a comment

We realize that a lot of cool lists will probably run this week, but at the moment, I’m just starting to look forward to what’s coming out early next year, like the forthcoming Shintaro Sakamoto LP. This tune seems to be a calling to finding your own place in the world, or at least the one that fits each individual person, but its crafted in this spiritual psychedelia that usually accompanies Sakamoto’s craft. There’s this sort of mysterious bend in the guitar notes, akin to what we’d get on typical psychedelic flair, but in that, the tune ends up sort of spinning as these little flutes or woodwind cousins burrow into the song’s consciousness. It’s the best sort of trip, and look for Yoo-hoo on January 23rd via Zelone Records.

Last Week’s Jams (11.17 – 11.21)

Leave a comment

Okay, okay. So we didn’t crush it this last week, but I still feel like if you’re looking for a pound for pound playlist of solid hits under an hour, our coverage is primo. We’ve got brand new stuff from We Are Joiners, featuring one of my favorite chorus moments of the last several months. Plus, if you haven’t heard Lola, which I hadn’t, you should fix that before it’s too late. Like me, maybe a subtle guitar pop tune from the New Tigers makes your week, or maybe you want to get swept away in the synth pop of Pet Owner. I’m not sure where to lead you, but I promise there are worst places to spend an hour of your Monday.

Pet Owner Share FOMU Single

Leave a comment

Another act I adore, Pet Owner, is hinting at what’s in store for us when the new year opens the door to fresh tunes; today we’re sharing “FOMU,” which is operating mostly as a low-end electro pop ballad. What I mean by the low-end, as it’s clearly employing the bouncing nature of the pop genre, is that she’ll pull away and sprinkle in these little moments of singer-songwriter fashion, opening the doors to where her album could possibly go. It’s both delicate and luxurious in its approach to synth-oriented pop, so I’m already penciling in her works as one of my favorite things about 2026!

The New Tigers Return

Leave a comment

I’m a big fan of Finnish outfit The New Tigers, and they’ve mostly been quiet since the release of their Do Xao LP back in 2018, with the rare single here and there. Today, they’re back with a new single and news that a new LP will be out in 2026. On today’s singles, they embrace a lighter side of guitar pop, though they’re careful to include a driving enthusiasm that bleeds through the distorted riff work. They fill the spaces in between with drifting melodies and charm that make it difficult to pull away from, as if you’d even want to! The second of the tunes is a really beautiful ballad, so I hope you’ll take the time to invest in listening to the group’s latest offerings; look for the new LP via Soliti in the new year!

Morning Pop from Foamboy

Leave a comment

We’re almost there friends, and I promise we’re going to all make it to Friday; we’ve got this great track from Portland’s Foamboy. They’re kind of hitting that sweet spot of electro-pop, wherein they’re just on the cusp of being overly amplified, but they hold back so it doses push into pure schmaltz. Think of a Chromeo record, only a little more seductive and built for longevity, and you’ll pick up on the vibes here. This song’s built around a love story that just didn’t quite finish, sputtering out and leaving our lover with nothing more “than a book and a cold.” Step into Thursday my friends.
