Another Tune from Bart and Friends

Leave a comment

When we gave you a heads up about the forthcoming mini-Lp from Bart and Friends, we warned you that Bart Cummings had amassed a who’s who of indiepop to work with him on the new record…and today we’ve got a track starring Pam Berry of Black Tambourine! This run is a fairly sedate affair, like a swinging back and forth with your partner on some late dancefloor as the lights begin to fade with you into the night. Heavy guitar works in contrast with Berry’s crystalline performance, giving off this wistful note. The song’s brief, but the 1:26 mark leaves you with the delightful crest where the jangling notes meet Pam meet Gary Olson’s trumpet for a final pop triumph! Order the Tolmie Wild Thymes from KUS now!

Lisasinson Share Tu y Yo

Leave a comment

There’s something about listening to Lisasinson that just makes life seem like a whole lot of fun; they fill their songs with joy and fun and hooks and riffs, in turn filling up my rock tank every time they drop a new single. In a few weeks they’ll be dropping a new mini-album, Perdona Mama, so this is our last chance to get a little sneak at what’s in store. The video is filled with antics and a solid rabbit chase, but I’m mostly sold on how consistently the quartet seem to just churn out these crushing pop rock tunes. To me, it’s all about the execution, they don’t try to do too much with the song, just staying steady around a solid vocal melody and quick rhythm lines. Seemingly simple, but it only rips if its done just right, like this lot. Look for the album to drop on April 9th via Elefant Records.

Sasha and the Valentines Drop Don’t You Love Me Video

Leave a comment

If you’re not feeling up for Sasha and the Valentines this morning, I can’t really help you out, but if you’re down to give us about 4 minutes you’re going to get rewarded. For starters, how do you not get the feels when that rhythmic pulse doesn’t just start thumping; I’m here shaking my shoulders at my classroom desk. Sarah Addi’s performance is filled with peaks and valleys, subtle when the song’s mood requires, then punching out emphatic syllables to punctuate the beat, only to float her voice across the band’s dreamscape. Energetic and exploratory, you’ll want to turn up this tune. The band will drop So You Think You Found Love on April 16th via Oof Records.

Miss Miranda Shares Daniel

Leave a comment

Miss Miranda is the songwriting moniker of Miranda Haney, a recent Austin transplant via Baltimore who I met through my wife’s sister’s boyfriend. She’s been writing some tunes, though Austin hasn’t quite been treated to her songwriting often enough ( insert something about pandemic), so I figured I oughta share them up here. Her latest single is an intimate affair, mostly working with Haney’s voice atop the strum of her guitar. I love the faint quiver in the rising vocals when she meets the chorus for the delivery of “he’s got a voice like Daniel/and a voice you’d recognize.” That there my friends, gives you that 10 seconds of bliss I always crave in my tunes! Anyways, Mondays always end up fairly sedate, so figured I’d close out my day with this one here…a strong new voice from Austin.

Enjoy New Music from Lag Dream

Leave a comment

I’m kind of all over the world today, with some ATX stuff, but also tunes from Mexico, Canada and now Japan! P Necobayashi previously worked under the name The Poolitans, but has since changed the working band name to Lag Dream. This is the first single from the renamed project, but employs the same stylistic notes, namely synth heavy indiepop. It’s bouncy from the get go, sort of reminiscent of beach pop you get over here in the States, hitting at little dreamy nuances and obscured vocals. Totally on board already, and looking to get more!

Olivia’s World Announce New EP

Leave a comment

A few days behind on the world, but who really cares, as I’m always on board for a good tune from Olivia’s World. The first minute and beyond seems more like an intoxicating drink, seducing you into the song before the group decide to let you in on their joyousness. Alice’s voice has this natural pop embellishment, which sits perfectly in the song’s fuzzier moments that are crafted in the song’s latter half. Those of you hunting for a song that feels heavy yet somehow is uplifting will take note of this number. Tuff 2B Tender will be released on April 23rd via Lost Sound Tapes.

Stream Abram Shook’s Satin Thief

Leave a comment

A few weeks ago or more, I offered up a track from the forthcoming Abram Shook EP, but, I forgot to actually let you hear the entirety of Satin Thief. The EP serves as a sort of stop gap between albums, on one hand drawing from the funkier 2019 release, and a little bit of hazy soul from the as yet released new LP! I’ve really been digging on “Now and Laters” and its kind of funky groove working with Shook’s smoothed out vocal pop notes, but I reckon “Need” might be giving us a glimpse of what’s to come in the future. It’s Monday, and you need Abram to ease you into the day.

Los Velvets Drop Nomado Single

Leave a comment

The great thing about this new single from Los Velvets is that it hits on multiple levels for me, personally. I love the softened shoegaze sound that drops into the tune immediately, pushing those light guitar stabs along with a clear wash of distorted atmospherics. Song along, I’d be on board, but I also love the fact that the group hails from Mexico and push their sound with Spanish lyrics. Sure, you could dismiss it based on that, but that seems kind of counterintuitive to exploring new sounds and cultures? So for me, this rips in more ways than one, so share in my joy!

 

 

Remington Super 60 Drop Talk Nouvelle Noveau

Leave a comment

Norway pop outfit Remington Super 60 have been churning out some incredible pop nuggets the last few years, and today they add to that by dropping their Nouvelle Noveau EP. The opening track “Talk With You” should immediately turn you onto the band’s timelessness; Elisabeth’s voice could have come from one of your favorite 60s girl groups or been the intoxicating soundtrack to one of your recent indie flicks. I love the feathery nature of her notes, but it perhaps wouldn’t seem so sublime if Christoffer Schou didn’t add these delicate little touches to give the song’s lift, like the distant guitars in “I Won’t Change My Mind” and “Still Near.” Overall, the whole of the release feels like sitting down with a bowl of hot soup on a freezing day…nothing ever felt so right. Stream it below.

Ablebody Changes Name to Always You, Drop Hold Out Single

Leave a comment

It’s been about five years since we’ve heard from Ablebody, but in the interim, the band have been hard at work with new tunes…and a new name! The band, led by the Hochheim brothers, has formerly changed their name to Always You, then jumped right back into things with a new single courtesy of Shelflife Records. The tune’s offering is a bit of distance from the band’s indiepop inclinations, giving us a slightly elevated vibe; it’s almost like they’re offering up a really slow burning brand of pop, something that whets your appetite for what’s to come later. The vocals turn over and over in your mind, melodically drifting in a sort of dreamy trance-inducing fashion while the musical background just lounges, relaxing your soul. Nice to have this group back up and in the mix!
