Icarus Phoenix Shares New Single

Leave a comment

Last year I implored you all to dabble in the world of Icarus Phoenix, the songwriting moniker of Drew Danburry; the self-titled album from last year was a secret gift I hope some of you unwrapped. But, not one to sit back, it seems the band has a new album slated for a Fall release, and we’re being treated to a delightful tune right here. Interestingly, the song opens up in phase one, in what I’ll call the Ben Gibbard phase; it’s soft and enchanting, radiating warmth. Then the song begins to swell, more instruments and nuance building that textural depth that fascinates us all, rising from the ashes like the phoenix itself. I just love what Drew’s doing, so looking forward to another new LP this September.

Check Out This New Doug Tuttle Tune

Leave a comment

Probably not a bad day when you get to enjoy a new track from Doug Tuttle, not to mention it coming with a fresh EP announcement. I love how steady this tune is, mostly working with Tuttle’s guitar setting up the coolness of his voice. In a weird way, it kind of feels like Doug’s doing a GBV impersonation of a Tom Petty cover, so he’s sort of zeroed in on really classic pop rock sounds with just a hint of modern flare. There’s a nice little fuzzy solo burning through near the end, but the voice here is still getting the gold star on my end. Pinecone EP is being released by Wild Honey on July 9th.

Hard Nips Share Blender X Video

Leave a comment

Today we celebrate the release of Hard Nips new LP, Master Cat, and in doing so, it seems only fitting we do it by dropping this fun video for standout single, “Blender X.” Guitars dangle and churn before dropping in this heavy stomping sound; the song takes on this sort of punk meets blues rock vibe, and honestly, the vocals give off a faint hint of classic rock attitude. They’ve been compared to the B-52s, if you were forced to kick Fred out of the band…and here, they’re not missing a beat. It’s a fun video, matching up with the fun attitude this quartet carries, so lets celebrate their triumphant return and crank this video up! The LP is out today via Dadstache Records.

Molly Burch Shares Heart of Gold Video

Leave a comment

Molly Burch will be dropping Romantic Images at the end of the month, so we’ve got to keep you up to date by sharing her latest single and its accompanying video. As always, Molly’s voice is the star, able to hone in on its natural smokiness, but not afraid to let it broadcast angelic notes as she strikes the chorus. In the rhythm section you get pure steadiness, it actually makes the whole tune kind of dizzying, letting you tap your toes while your head spins with the vocals echoing in the distance. Captured Tracks will be dropping the new LP on July 23rd, and it’s destined to get raves, so don’t miss out!

Hanemoon Share Not My Fault Video

Leave a comment

German outfit will Hanemoon drop their debut LP this Friday via Jigsaw Records, and I promise you that you’re going to want to spend a lot of time with it. It’s pretty classic power-pop, though its spun in that sort of left of the dial feel you might associate with GBV or Galaxie 500. It’s energetic and bouncy, with hints of fuzz that leave the song dreamy to a degree. Haze bop is how I’m branding it today, and it goes perfectly in line with the wash of the video at hand here too, so turn your speakers up and play this as many times as you damn well please! The Last Thing I Heard should be in steady rotation for the next few months!

Sweet Nobody Announce We’re Trying Our Best

Leave a comment

If you wanted to take the best of the Beths, Alvvays and Rosie Tucker, then toss into a mixing bowl, you might get the flavor of Sweet Nobody. Playing on the edge of dreamy pop, with introspective lyrical play, you’re sure to find their latest single rewarding. Personally, I can relate to the subject matter to, battling with your inner demons to fight through creative lows in order to get to the other side and create freely, no matter what you’re crafting. The song is the first single from the band’s We’re Trying Our Best LP, which is slated for release this September via Daydream Records.

Grace and Elliott Share Beauty Queen

Leave a comment

I’m not going to lie, when reading about Grace and Elliott, I had to look up the Island of Guernsey where they live (it’s in the English Channel). But, one thing I was assured of was the power of Grace’s voice; it was striking from the very minute the first verse comes into play. At times it appears fragile, like it could shatter in thin air, but other moments it’s purely passion, like a fiery roar from the deepest regions of her soul. Plus, you mix that in with the emotive quality of the interplay between guitar and bass, and well, these two had me wrapped around their finger in an instant, so I reckoned I should put that before you!

Stream The Rightovers Kruise Kontrol EP

Leave a comment

The last time that I checked in with The Rightovers, they were crafting these jangling power-pop gems; the tunes were happy, shining with melodies and hooks. On their latest Kruise Kontrol EP, they’ve traded the jangles for a heavier feel, giving the band a heavier vibe, though one still wholly rooted to the vibes of pop rock. Some of the songs have these huge sonic walls, like the instrumental piece “Want You,” feeling like some leftover piece of Kevin Shields artistry. “Stereocrush” is probably one of my favorite tunes here, offering up this sort of 80s influenced bedroom pop vibe. And, maybe you just want good old fashioned pop rock n’ roll, so check out “Kruise Kontrol,” a tune that lets you know the band never left the hooks behind. Jigsaw Records just released the EP, so get to it!

The Catenary Wires Release Face on the Rail Line Video

Leave a comment

The forthcoming LP from The Catenary Wires is high upon our list of anticipated releases this year, and now we’ve got another single to give us a little peek at what’s inside. As soon as the video plays, I honestly felt like I was at home in the 80s listening to my dad’s record collection; the core vocals of Amelia and Rob over that light strum just held this nostalgic breath in my lungs for an instant. But, as the song progresses, there are some little details like the slight buzz around the 1:07 mark (and again later) that kind of ties the band to their modern peers. In a weird way, it feels like your favorite indiepop stars spent the weekend holed up with J Spaceman, and I mean that in the most positive light possible. The little turn at 2:13 doesn’t do anything to hurt either, sweeping emotion through your bedroom speakers. Look for their new LP Birling Gap on June 18th via Skep Wax/Shelflife.

SB Olson Shares No More Trouble

One comment

As of late, my tastes have been bouncing all over the place, and that’s kind of where this SB Olson tune hit me. It’s got this little underhanded blues boogie to it; it’s that sort of crunchy barroom scoot that all my red dirt friends were super into during our college years. Plus, with Olson’s heavily warm vocals, you kind of get that sort of classic Americana feel, like one would get when listening to an M. Ward album. The North Dakota songwriter just seems to be writing hit after hit at the moment, so if you’re so inclined, you might want to stop in and give his catalog a little look-see. This tune comes from his latest, Sweet Creatures.
