YNYS Share Nothing the Sea Doesn’t Know

Leave a comment

It’s funny that the email I got about YNYS mentions T. Rex in a nod to the string work on the band’s latest single, as I was just thinking there was something about Bolan lurking in the shadows of this song. There’s this bit of bravado and swagger to the performance of Dylan Hughes here, but don’t let that deceive you as this is every bit a big sweeping pop tune. From the arrangements to the backing melodies, every note seems intent upon carrying you away with huge emotions, albeit with a little bit of that effortless cool. Guess I’m just a big old sucker for pop tunes; the band release their self-titled album on November 4th via Libertino.

Stream Skinny Dippers The Town & the City

Leave a comment

We’ve covered a majority of the single from Skinny Dippers new LP, and well, it dropped last week, so we wanted to be sure that you were reminded to spend some time with The Town & the City. When it opens, you get some light guitar pop, akin to acts like Real Estate, drawing light melodies from the vocals to build your interest. But, what makes the entirety of the record so rewarding is that Ryan Gross has no problem switching gears, offering the lonesome ballad of “Big City, Small Apartement” before bouncing off to classic indie pop vibes with “Past Selves.” But, be sure you don’t ignore the album closer, “I Would Like to Say I Always Loved You,” which might be the best song Nada Surf never wrote. Anyways, stream it below, and enjoy!

Catching Up with Big City

Leave a comment

So, I’ll admit that I’ve been sort of swamped as of late with life and such things, so occasionally things slip under my radar, like this forthcoming EP from Big City. As of right now, there’s one single from the group’s new release, and its this cavernous mixture of guitar pop and techno vibes coursing through. You can hear the guitar line cutting through the fog in the distance, allowing the track to build on this atmospheric tip that lets the vocals waft on through to the other side. Really looking forward to hearing where the rest of this musical journey takes us; they drop Liquid Times this week via Perennial and K Records.

Winter Share Good Video (featuring Sasami)

Leave a comment

The closer we get to the release of Winter‘s new LP, the more I’m getting anxious to hear it from start to finish. Today, we get another glimpse at Samira’s songwriting, this time in a steady fashion that really drives home the melodic nature. It’s almost like a spiritual move, a mantra of being good, however that plays at. Sasami‘s vocals just beckon you, like a siren begging you to crash upon the shores of this glorious slowcore masterpiece. With all the folks having a hand in the new release, from Sasami to Hatchie, you know we’re in for one hell of a ride; What Kind of Blue Are You is out October 14th via Bar/None Records.

Last Week’s Jams Today (8.29 – 9.2)

Leave a comment

Strangely, I felt like we didn’t cover a ton of territory last week, but then I noticed we have quite a playlist, and that’s even with a few jams not quite making the streaming services of choice. I opened the playlist with “It Keeps Happening” from Germany’s Matching Outfits; I couldn’t stop playing the tune all week, so I figured it was best up front. We also got new stuff from forever-faves like Peel Dream Magazine and the Boys with the Perpetual Nervousness. Stoked on both the new Eerie Wanda and Submotile tunes, and RayRay loved that latest Disq tune. Settle in for the day and turn it up nice and loud.

KT Laine Shares Dumpster Fire

Leave a comment

When I first heard the latest single from KT Laine I was really drawn to her voice; it has this sort of soaring bravado like Angel Olsen, though with a bit more sharpness to it. But, the more I spin it, the more that guitar line just feels like it fits naturally into my everyday jamming sessions. It’s like a heavy jangle of sorts, giving the song this swinging swagger that successfully sends shivers your way. Still, Laine’s confidence, even when penning self-deprecating lines, is precisely why you stick around until the very end. A rad tune, and a relatively new artist to keep on your radar.

Red Pants Announce New EP + Share Century Phaser

Leave a comment

For starters, you should all put your playlists on pause and go spend a little bit of time with Red Pants last album, When We Were Dancing; it came out this past Winter, and I raved and raved, as I do about such things. But, we’re all lucky because the duo has announced the Gentle Centuries EP, which is coming out in just a bit. This tune’s super rad if you love electronic production being woven in to some rhythmic jam sessions, but it’s not all about that intoxicating mixture, as the vocals have this futuristic feel to them that guarantees us that this is the music of our future. If you’re looking to disappear into a song, I can’t imagine a better one, so crawl inside the depths of Red Pants. The new EP will be out via Painted Blonde Tapes.

Rad New from Dandy Boy Records

Leave a comment

One of our favorite labels, Dandy Boy Records, has a bunch of great stuff going on, so we wanted to be sure that you knew about all the greatness, otherwise, what’s the point?

For starters, there’s this rad video from the latest Sob Stories LP, Fair Shakes, which came out in the Spring. You’ll love the great stop-amination work of Elyse Schrock, but then you’ll keep coming back time and time again for the huge hooks in the chorus!

Then you get a couple of new tunes from the 1981, and add in some previous jams to make up the bands newest Polaroids EP (available on cassette). I was already loved with the amazing “Nelson’s Camera,” but the two new songs have the band working in some new territory that definitely has my ears on where the band will go next.

Finally, the label has announced a joint venture with Discontinuous Invention to release a new EP from Aluminum. We’ve got the brand new single here, and it certainly makes the allusion towards the band’s affection for early Creation Records, particularly where the song erupts into this beautiful noise in spite of the melodious nature of the vocals; let this song give your ears the best sort of mindfuck ever! The Windowpane EP is out on October 7th.

The Boys with Perpetual Nervousness Share Isolation (ft. Mary Lou Lord)

Leave a comment

One of my favorite pop acts, The Boys with Perpetual Nervousness will be dropping their latest record, The Third Wave Of, next week, so why not seal the promotion cycle with one beautiful touch. Today, the band release a double single, which is an electric and acoustic recording of “Isolation,” which features Mary Lou Lord on vocals. The band are already masters of toasty melodies, then you double down by throwing Lord into the backing vocals (or lead vocals on the acoustic version), and you’re pretty much guaranteed to make pop fans swoon. I’ve got both versions below, but you can only find the acoustic version as a Bandcamp bonus track; the Third Wave Of drops next week via Bobo Integral.

Submotile Shares Foreshadowing Single

Leave a comment

Dublin’s Submotile aren’t quite content with rehashing the past or touching up on fads regarding the shoegaze genre. Instead, they seem to have taken notes, then said “fuck it” and crafted their own vibe, which is both powerful and refreshing. Starting off running, you get this propulsive rhythm pounding the beat with cascading guitars working in the background; it starts to evolve into a really heavy post-rock soundscape vibe, which makes the drop in all the more special. Noise swirling, vocals come in, melodic and cool, crafted in such a way that it almost feels like another layer gets built into the complex fabric. Personally, the back and forth between the noisier elements and pop hooks is what just tugs at me, so I’m all in for the band’s new LP. One Final Summit Before the Fall will be out on October 21st via modern legends Shelflife Records.
