Hovvdy Announce True Love

Leave a comment

I’m sure by the time I post this tune that it’ll likely already be everywhere, but we’ve got to represent the ATX and Hovvdy, right? For me, this track, and possibly the whole of the record, feels very Austin at the moment, both musically and thematically. Musically speaking, the band employ good strum work and overlapping melodies in their vocals to craft this blistering pop vibe that sort of radiates prismatic colors though your speakers. Message-wise, the tune seems to hit at this exhaustion we’ve all faced the last few years, but how reliance upon loved ones has been able to carry us through…whether that’s a partner, friend or family. Expect the band’s True Love LP to be a huge success, dropping October 1st via Grand Jury.

Paper Birch Share Blue Heartbreak

Leave a comment

Paper Birch are definitely one of those acts on my radar this Summer, particularly as they seem to be filling in that space in my life with fuzzy pop sensations. Their latest single from the forthcoming morninghairwater pulls back the curtains to reveal this wall of buzzsaw guitar and a fairly simply rhythmic track behind it. In crafting the tune in this manner, they allow for some further guitar excursion, jettisoning in and out of the buzzy background. Plus, using that canvas gives them the time and space to paint their combined melodies for you; it sort of reminds you of Damon and Naomi, and I don’t think anyone minds that! Morninghairwater is out July 30th via Reckless Yes.

Fortitude Valley Share Baby, I’m Afraid Video

Leave a comment

If Laura Kovic wanted to get our attention with her band line-up, it doesn’t hurt that she’s fleshed out the Fortitude Valley line-up with members of Martha and Night Flowers. It also bodes well that the band just keep releasing these pop rock jams that just get stuck up inside your head! The latest singles is almost as much fun to watch as it is to listen to, letting these grunge-y pop rock riffs rip and swirl all over the place as Kovic bounces her voice in and out of the song’s grooves. The video matches up with the song perfectly, giving the sense that the band are not only enjoying the songwriting, but each other as well, which is always a bonus for a fan. Fika Recordings will release the debut self-titled LP in October of this year!

Stream Neil Brogan’s Magnolia Day LP

Leave a comment

I’ve been a longtime follower of Neil Brogan, since his time in Girls Names throughout his work with Sea Pinks, so of course its time to shine on his most recent offering from the weekend, Magnolia Day. I’ve covered a few singles, but I’m really impressed with how strong this collection of songs is upon my first few listens. Always one to toy with melodies, I think I was really stuck on the album when I came to “Broken Record;” he plays with a few notes here, holds a few there, and it explores his willingness to push his sound. Currently, I’m stuck on “Between Two Trees,” though “Green Recovery” seems to tie into the influence of Spring and nature on Brogan’s songwriting for this album. Whatever. Just enjoy.

Stream New Album From Old Moon

Leave a comment

New Hampshire based artist Tom Weir stayed incredibly busy during quarantine, putting out several short EPs and demos under his musical moniker Old Moon. Now halfway through 2021, Weir has just announced the release of his debut full length LP entitled Altars. It’s this crazy blend of post-punk grit mixed with an almost new wave sound which is completely unique and definitely worthy of your time.

Of course we’ve got it streaming for you below but you should also consider a purchase of the album digitally or in vinyl format via the fine folks at A La Carte Records.

Upset the Rhythm Announces Normil Hawaiians: Dark World

Leave a comment

One of our favorite labels Upset the Rhythm has been working diligently to make sure that the world doesn’t forget the work of Normil Hawaiians; today they announce Dark World. In this collection you’ll get to hear the band in the years 1979-1981, working at breakneck pace trying to find their sound; you’ll get two 7″ worth of tunes , the Gala Failed EP, and a few Peel Sessions to flesh out the collection. The title track for the collection, “Dark World,” seems to encompass the whole of the band’s period here, opening up sharp and jagged, drums pacing back and forth with a stomp, all the while you’ve got Guy screaming and bellowing, anxious at times, satiated at others. Such a productive period, and now we get to reap the rewards. Dark World is out on September 24th; Grab it HERE.

Bobsled Team Share Can You Stay

Leave a comment

It’s Friday release day, and one of those albums that drops is The Colours Blur from Belfast duo Bobsled Team. Listening through, you get the sense that the band have definitely been stepping in line with the recent dream pop vibes sweeping the indiesphere. But, what I like in their craft is the way they kind of add this new old level, something they ascribe to Sonic Youth, but to me feels like Broken Social Scene. There’s this joyous vibrancy that combines melody and wildness, particularly when you get to this song’s chorus. It’s definitely a sound that has me ready to spend this rainy morning listening to The Colours Blur on repeat.

Central Heat Exchange Share Directly Down

Leave a comment

The pandemic collective that created Central Heat Exchange is certainly offering up some rewarding sounds, with the latest single just dropping, aided by vocals from Stephanie Smith of Varsity this go round. This round has the band focusing on the hypnotic nature of their craft, building these textural layers that allow Smith’s voice to sort of swirl about in your headspace. Personally, there’s these little moments where the careful quiet switches to a more emphatic wash of noise, though you almost don’t even notice you’re caught up in it, which is a wonderful way to get lost in song. The band’s debut LP will be out September 10th courtesy of Sunroom/Citrus City/Beirthday Cake.

Beach Vacation Share Moving On

Leave a comment

Of all the beach associated acts, I feel like Beach Vacation has the brand down. Their latest single opens with this pulsing groove, like the rush from the car to the first splash in the ocean waves, running as fast as you can to hit that water; it keeps the song progressing, adding the pace where its needed. Taking on the vocals, you get that cool wash of mist smashing against the rocks, coating those nearby in this damp cool. Plus, if you wanted to score someone skating along the beach boardwalk, I couldn’t think of a better tune to hit the spot. This tune available courtesy of Z Tapes.

Motorists Announce Surrounded

Leave a comment

If Bobo Integral announces a new record, you better believe I’m going to rush over to give it a listen, which is why Motorists are my new favorite band! The Canadian outfit just signed up to release their debut Surrounded LP with the label, and it’s the perfect blast of power-pop for your Thursday. In the press release you get mentions like The Nerves and the Soft Boys, but if you wanted an update list, think of a cleaner version of your favorite garage band; it kind of sounds like Deadbeat Beat with a little bit more anthemic vibes coursing through it. You can already tell there will be hooks galore filling up this listen, so don’t skip out! The release is out September 3rd, as a co-release between Bobo Integral/Debt Offensive/We Are Time.
