Quitt Share Partys Single

Leave a comment

Admittedly, I’m not entirely sure what the lyrical content (it’s in German!) of the latest tune from Quitt is, but I’ve really enjoyed the band’s sound, and sometimes that’s all you really need, right? They’ve got this sound that’s part Discord/part Obits; I think if they upped the pace and let things go, it’d be all over that Obits/Hot Snakes territory. Sharp edges, propulsive rhythm and that scratchy bit of vocals barking from the stage all make for the perfect sound, at least if you’re asking this fella here. You can find this track on the German band’s new Dumm und Extrovertiert EP!

Love, Burns Shares New Tunes

Leave a comment

I have it on good authority that Love, Burns, the solo project of Phil Sutton (Pale Lights) has a full length ready to go. But, in the meantime, he’s teasing his fans with three non-album tunes, and personally, if these are the non-LP tunes, can you imagine how great a record this will be? “She Will Leave, Unless,” feels like a lesson on the bygone days of pop, that innocent sunshine in the window as you make breakfast to set off on your day, starring softened jangles. “Say What You Mean” seeps in with a little more swagger, sort of that late 60s almost pscyh where the whole band is wearing cliche black sunglasses, but with better songwriting. Still, the 3 new songs don’t peak, for me, until you get to “The Push and Pull of the Great Outdoors.” I love how stark and naked the tune feels, mostly Phil and guitar until a bit of tambourine shimmies near the 2 minute mark. Man, you better love eat this up pop fans!

Pleased To Meet You: Tears to Go

Leave a comment

In a way, I hope you’ve all met Tears to Go, though the project is brand new. It’s the solo work of Elena Sestelo, who was once part of When Nelda Became Punk (Shelflife); she’s just announced Patronizing Self-Help, the debut album. Our first listen gives us the title track, with Elena’s voice taking on a slightly dreamy brand, with the musical element leaving lots of space for the song to swell. Used to Sestelo’s immediacy from her previous work, I found myself pleasantly surprised with how carefully this song unfolds; the piano notes are hit with purpose, like an emphatic stomp on our souls, as angelic backing vocals are layered to create this otherworldly experience. If you dig what you’re hearing, then you’re going to want to check back in the Fall when the debut is released courtesy of I Need Some Company Records.

Gary Share Blur the Difference

Leave a comment

Gary is a recording project among friends Gary Spolarich and Jason Gerycz (of Cloud Nothings fame); the two have been jamming for some time in various forms, and this year we’ll be treated to Ideas Riding, which is finally seeing the light of day. For starters, the song’s a definite ripper, with Gary offering just enough sweetness in his vocals to really kick in that hook. For Jason’s part, well, he’s doing what he’s always done, bang away on the drums harder than any of your friends; it honestly gives this song the feel of what early Cloud Nothings created, poppy and rambunctious. All of Ideas Riding is streaming now courtesy of Old Flame Records.

John Roseboro Releases MFL Video

Leave a comment

John Roseboro‘s spent much of this year prepping us for the release of his debut album, and for those not in the know, “MFL” is a great little introduction to John’s work. For me, the narrative of making mistakes and forgiveness is something relatable for all folks, or so I hope; it’s made all the more accessible by the narrative nature of John’s songwriting here. The song takes a light bossa nova feel, using sharp little guitar notes combined with wonderful horn arrangements to give the song some added depth. It’s the sort of relaxed summer vibe we all enjoy, so sit back and just wait for John’s debut to hit later this year!

Icarus Phoenix Shares All the Same

One comment

Ya’ll all know by now how much I love Drew Daburry’s project, Icarus Phoenix; it’s one of those little secret I keep hoping you all are willing to dip your toes into as you browse our site. When this song opens, you get the traditional Danburry feel, an emotional vocal plain and upfront in the mix. But, what really charmed me on this track was the song’s elevated punch. It hits for the first time just before the 40 second mark, drums dropping in and guitars giving off a little more bravado. Honestly, it reminds me of the best of Jason Lytle, blending a more modern power pop feel with folk inclinations. This tune will appear on the seance Icarus Phoenix release, slated for later this Fall.

The Chairman Dances Share Dove’s Tail in Pink Light

Leave a comment

The Chairman Dances have had me wrapped around their songwriting fingers for a few years now, and with The Strength of Your Arm on the horizon, it seems only fitting we dig into another tune. I really like the subtle nature of this track; to be fair, it reminds me of a Pains of Being Pure at Heart record if you stripped it completely bare, with the melodic notes shining through. What I’ve really enjoyed listening through this track is the way there’s this omni-present patience; the song seems content to unfold slowly, never really rushing, though still content to charm. This feels like a record I’ve already got marked for a favorite of the year; the Strength of Your Arm is out July 23rd.

 

Nailpolishh Share Post-That

Leave a comment

Diana and Gregory are core members of ATH favorites Rat Fancy, but throughout the last few years, they’ve been working on tapping into their own varied interests in pop music, churning out fresh tunes under the name Nailpolishh. Today we’re really excited to share with you “Post-That,” the first single from their forthcoming Cry, Cry Again. It’s really interesting to consider the craft that works in creating this tune; I can hear a very Rat Fancy jangling guitar line looped from the very beginning of this track, and of course, Diana’s voice is still ever-recognizable. Sure, they’re dropping in beats and playing with those vocal notes, but you can still hear their adherence to pop structures. Pretty excited to hear what the rest of the LP sounds like, if you ask me. Cry, Cry Again will be out in September via Solidarity Club Records and Chillwave Records.

Pony Hunt Share That Feelin

Leave a comment

In case you haven’t been following our site the last month or so, I’m pretty into the sweet sounds of Pony Hunt, the songwriting project of Jessie Antonick. On the latest single, you get this dizzying vocal performance, at times smoky and soulful, other moments are powerful and shattering. Musically, there’s a campfire stomp to this track, with the twang of the guitars helping to give Antonick’s voice this soaring quality that billows through your speakers into the night sky. Be sure to stick around as the song’s last thirty second are something quite special. VAR is out on July 23rd via Wing and Wing Records.

New Music from So Cow

Leave a comment

To be honest, I really want to post everything from this new So Cow record (though I don’t actually have it); I’d honestly post anything Brian Kelly was involved in at this point in time. There’s a brand new album titled Bisignis coming out via Dandy Boy Records, and well, I think your day is only going to get better after pressing play on these jams. I mean, I’d try to wrap it up in a nice little pigeonholed package, but I’m not sure that would do the sounds justice; I can hear elements of early Thermals, though there’s also tidbits of TV Personalities and maybe even hints at someone who was jamming to Rivers Cuomo at a young age…maybe that’s just me. Whatever. This Friday the whole LP drops, and it should be in your Bandcamp cart on Friday.
