Per Och Olof Announces Radd Hast

Leave a comment

I’ll be honest, as I have absolutely no clue what’s being said in this new single from Per Och Olof, but even with that, the emotive quality of the tune captured me nonetheless. News of his new compilation, Radd Hast, claim that he showed up to the studio with a bunch of punky demos only to turn them into pop diamonds on the way out. You can hear that attitude in the sharpness of the guitar work, though his voice definitely lends itself more towards a pop inclination. If you’re willing to lose yourself in a vibe, then spend some time here, and be sure to check out some more of Radd Hast tracks; the physical version is out in September via Rama Lama Records.

Jim Nothing Shares Yellow House Video

Leave a comment

Those of you following the New Zealand scene, or anything Oceanic in nature, should keep your eyes on Jim Nothing, as this fresh single from their debut record is pretty near perfect. The riff work in the song has that sort of purposefully sloppy vibe, sort of chugging along haphazardly while the ship rocks around on the back of the rhythm section. Elements of this sound like they’re rooted in 90s pop rock, though you can hear other little DIY bits of flare in the way the vocals work together to build the melodic core. Just before you announce your devotion, the song calls halts, and you’re forced to rush over to the Meritorio Records/Melted Ice Cream sites and grab a copy of the group’s In the Marigolds LP…out September 15th.

Mamalarky Announce Pocket Fantasy

Leave a comment

This snuck out yesterday, but I’d be remiss if I didn’t get behind this album announcement from Mamalarky. The band are constantly working, and it seems like that has led to a track that kind of unloads all the pressure of writing and recording by blasting out a joyous burst. Livvy’s riff work has this angular choppiness that feels like jumping about in your room, while the chorus just radiates an exhilarated bunch. You can see they’ve locked into that joy in the video as well, as the group are at their playful best throughout! If you’re digging it, Pocket Fantasy is out September 30th via Fire Talk.

A Vulture Wake Drop New Single

One comment

Wait? So A Vulture Wake is a band with one of the dudes from ALL? Your friend Dave plays bass? And your friend Mike recorded and mixed it? Well, then you’ve got to put it up, yeah? Chad Price’s vocals are hyper-familiar to me, but in this setting they definitely hold onto a classic American growl, like imagining the Boss being into real rock n’ roll. Guitars shuffle sharply, cascading downwards as John Hernandez furiously pounds the drums behind, all of it building what I like to call “adult punk.” We’re older and less-angsty, but still wanna rock. If you’re in, grab the Animal EP from the band this September via Thousand Island.

Queasy Pieces Releases Debut Single

Leave a comment

Andrew Anderson has been a frequent presence on our site here, whether its been with us writing about Hipshakes or Freak Genes or Proto Idiot…but now we’re writing about his one-man show, Queasy Pieces. This debut single definitely seems like its got strong ties to his past, as he feels like he’s channeling Jay Reatard in his vocal bursts of the chorus on this one. But, like all things Anderson’s done, there’s a constant knack for crafting tunes that leave you thirsting for more. Hopefully that ends up being the case, as this sounds like the precursor to having a whole lot of fun!

Soft Moon Share Become the Lies

Leave a comment

It looks like someones been watching me dance-punch all across my house this summer, and it looks like that someone is Soft Moon! The band’s new video for brooding bouncer “Become the Lies” is filled with a lone dancing machine, dancing primally to the thumping beat that’s beneath the song. What I’m interested in from the musical side is how the song manages to avoid the trappings, brining in an angelic vocal where most folks would pummel you with a wall of noise. Don’t get me wrong, you can feel the weight of this song shattering the cones of your speakers, but the melodic nature still seems to supersede. Exister will be out on September 2rd via Sacred Bones Records.

Wilder Maker Share Static ft. VV Lightbody

Leave a comment

Everyone needs a crunchy indie rock tune in their day, and you’re not going to find a better one than this new Wilder Maker track, featuring V.V. Lightbody on lead vocals. On my first few listens, the song has this sort of nostalgic rock vibe, like an updated version on what attracted us to Fleetwood Mac. As the tune moves on, there’s this understated little band from the riffs, channeling good old classic indie rock vibes…the sort that get your feet stomping and your hands clapping. V.V. Lightbody’s performance is perfect for the track too; they add in this sort of smokiness that’s brimming with confidence. I love when the vocals and the drum seem to kind of snap into place together, picking up the energetic tick just a bit, at least in my old ears. Male Models will be out next week via Western Vinyl.

Twain Announces Noon

Leave a comment

When Twain released “King of Fools” this past Winter, our contacts at Keeled Scales assured us there was a new LP on the horizon…and today we get to hear another single with news that the release is official! There’s something special brewing in these songs offering that sort of intimacy that permeates the soul. Still, there’s such depth and texture to what Mat Davidson is doing that you can’t help but to imagine this as the perfect soundtrack to any documentary on Americana. Really looking forward to hearing the entirety of this listen come the October release date, just in time for fireside listens. Noon is out 10.7 via Keeled Scales.

Laura Jean Announces Amateurs

Leave a comment

We’ve gone about five years since hearing from Australia’s Laura Jean, but there’s news of a new LP titled Amateurs, and with it, comes this huge song that I just want on repeat throughout the rest of the day. This new single is just absolutely brilliant, even getting a little help from Aldous Harding and Marlon Williams on backing vocals. For starters, the guitars on this song are so rad; you get a darker guitar dueling with this strummed jangle, fitting them perfectly like a tasty PB&J. Still, the vocal performance throughout is just spot on; there are moments when the vocal texturing is so sublime that you might not spin anything else for the rest of the day. Amateurs will be out via Chapter Music in November!

Human Barbie Share No Worries

Leave a comment

When I pressed play on this new Human Barbie jam, I was immediately hooked. There’s something about the vibe that feels like a weighted blanket, comforting and heavy, in a sense. Then the vocals come in and offer this quieted whisper, stretching a hand out to the listener to pull them deep into the track. Fill the track with a little instrumental moment of shoegazing and you’ve got this nice little dreamy summer jam to get lost inside. If you’re into it, the song will appear on a brand new EP that’s slated for an October release, courtesy of the folks at Poor Man Records.
