Buffet Lunch Announce New 7″ on Upset the Rhythm

Leave a comment

Scottish outfit Buffet Lunch already released a banger of an album this past May with the Power of Rocks, but they’re back a few months later with a new 7″ for Upset the Rhythm. Today we’ve got the B-side to that 7″, and while there’s the obvious off-kilter jittering from the band’s work, the voice of the song comes from collaborator Jayne Dent of Me Lost Me. Her voice seems to operate as some sort musical ringmaster amidst the band’s clever musical circus; it’s such a striking performance against the dreary backdrop that I rushed over to listen to more of Dent’s work. It’s an interesting little nugget from a young band that we hope to hear more from in 2022. The 7″ drops on November 5th, order it HERE.

Alcopops Release True Bugs Single

Leave a comment

We’re a few weeks away from getting to hear the entirety of the new Alcopops release, Devil EP. Today, with this new single, they’ve kind of got me captivated, dropping punishing riffs that blanket these central melodies. At times the band feels like a post-hardcore version of Built to Spill, particularly when it opened it feels like the chorus of “Cars.” But, they bang out this noise, akin to all your favorite “not-quite shoegaze” acts. But, one thing I really am drawn to is the band’s little bits of crisp pop noodling that lurk in this single; I’ll let you follow the breadcrumbs on your own, but this is a jam for sure. Devil EP drops on October 29th.

 

Tam Vantage Shares New Track, The Zone

Leave a comment

Tam Richards Matlakowski plays on all your favorite Aussie records, or at least on all of my favorite Aussie records. But, today, we’re dropping another single from his own work as Tam Vantage. Having listened to various projects Tam’s been a part of, his solo effort, at least per these first two singles, is taking a heavier hand into studio. On these riffs, he almost feels angry, driving the song forward forcefully, creating this sort of all-encompassing darkness, this shadow closing in around you. But, there’s a light at the end of the tunnel, courtesy of the vocals; they offer just a glint of light, melody hanging on the horizon. His new record, Laughing Gas & Apple Pie will be out on November 5th.

Natalie Jane Hill Shares Plants and Flowers That Do Not Grow Here Video

Leave a comment

The last month or so we’ve been really high upon Natalie Jane Hill‘s new work from her forthcoming Solely LP; it’s one of the more striking LPs to come out of Austin this year, which is saying a lot. On this one, somehow this seems more personal, almost like a secret she’s sharing with listeners. Her finger-strumming style creates this delicate feel, letting the power of her voice boom, giving her this sound that feels matured beyond many like-minded peers. Light strings provide some small subtleties that buoy the track, adding detail to the song’s empty crevices. Dear Life Records will release Solely on October 29th.

The Lounge Society Share Last Breath

Leave a comment

I’ve really been enjoying this new track from The Lounge Society, our first bit of new music from the band since their Silk for the Starving EP. I love how the band seem to always blend a mix of frantic exasperation with melodic calm. This track is no different, at time, pulling on the anxious post-punk with quick drums and a little bit of vocal yelp for emphatic purposes. Quickly, the vocals move back into their casual delivery, moving into the song’s melodic interlude, taking a breather with the listener before bounding back into noisy abandon. This single drops via Speedy Wunderground, who are always ahead of the curve.

Lil’ Hospital Returns with Revenge of Lil Hospital

Leave a comment

First, let’s take a moment to celebrate Kevin’s birthday. Happy Birthday Kevin. Second, who is Kevin? Well Kevin is one of our favorite songwriters (see Kevin Hairs), but he’s returned to use his Lil Hospital moniker for a quick little release that I missed on Friday. It’s self-described lo-fi twee, but it employs the typical Kevin quirks, like undeniable hooks naturally creeping through your speakers. Of course, they do get a little extra bit of fuzzy noise to hide behind on this go round. It’s honestly like Wavves, if that band was playing for me instead of all the indie bros out there. So yeah…jam these songs and enjoy Revenge of Lil Hospital.

Dean Wareham Shares As Much As It Was Worth

Leave a comment

I love the nakedness with which Dean Wareham is approaching his new record; he seems to be stripping back the magician’s curtains, and in doing so, he’s revealing this incredibly intimate world that’s been captivating me, single after single. This latest one has this emotional pull that I can’t help but to compare to some of Daniel Johnston’s best performances; it has the faintest imperfection, but softened by melody, completely transfixes the listener every step of the way. Every musical note just seems to delicately step around each syllable, careful not to stamp out any nuance that operates as an emotional black hole, sucking everything into the core of the song. I Have Nothing to Say to the Mayor of LA is out on October 15th via Double Feature Records.

Old Man of the Woods Shares Sharks

Leave a comment

I’ve really been impressed with the few little trickles of tunes coming from Miranda Elliott’s Old Man of the Woods project. Her work feels like synth pop on the surface, but to me, it feels like she’s crafting these little delicately woven ballads, meant to be shared in secret, only she’s replaced traditional instruments with her synth work. Her voice is powerful enough to carry the weight of the negative space left in the song, though as the tune progresses, you can hear backing vocals overlap just as the beat begins to jump up with a hint of pace. The debut LP, Votives, is out October 15th via Totally Real Records.

Dinner Shares Connection (ft. Molly Burch)

Leave a comment

A little bit of Denmark and a little bit of Austin come together on the latest track from Dinner, the project of Anders Rhedin; he’s joined by Texan Molly Burch, who provides these dreamy notes to the new single. This track has a more ethereal quality to it, though perhaps I’m being too influenced by the fog machine visuals drifting across my screen as I listen on repeat. There’s something milling about in Anders performances on this record that’s really moving; he seems to have locked into something that combines his deep tones with a very casual delivery, leaving things feeling more organic, embracing the natural state of his songs. Dream Work is yet another album dropping on October 22nd, courtesy of Captured Tracks.

Tonstartsbandht Share Pass Away

Leave a comment

I’m not sure what it is about Tonstartsbandht that attracts me, and perhaps that’s why I’m drawn to the work of the White brothers. At times, they feel like they’re combining these slightly psychedelic practices, reminiscent of what you might find on the inside a Clientele record. But, with that, they also seem to maybe be out there hanging their melodies on the winds of the past, something that sounds incredibly familiar yet totally out of this world. Ultimately, their musicianship shines through, sort of letting the band blend various styles, as you’ll hear when they offer up a tight little breakdown jam in the song’s middle on here. Makes perfect sense that they’ll drop their new LP, Petunia, via Mexican Summer on October 22nd.
