Florist Offer Moon, Sea, Devil

Leave a comment

I’m really excited by the forthcoming Florist LP on the horizon; it feels as if it’ll make for the perfect Spring listen, gentle and bright at every turn. This new single epitomizes that spirit, working over a light bit of piano and softened percussive texture; the group uses some little ambient nuances to flesh things out, bring up a bit more presence for the song. Emily’s voice has this majesty to it, particularly in the way it crests and falls so seamlessly and comforting. You’ll be able to get your hands on Jellywish when it drops April 4th via Double Double Whammy.

Club 8 Drop Monthly Single

Leave a comment

For the last year, plus, Sweden’s Club 8 have delighted us with pop tune after pop tune, and it looks as if they’ll continue that pattern in 2025, dropping a new jam every month. Their latest single is a little softer in its presence, pulled back from the boisterous pop they’ve worked with…though you can easily connect the dots here. They pull their sound this go round from a nostalgic 80s movie set, setting up that bubbling yacht rock groove, letting the softness of the vocals bob atop the crafty pop waves coming through your speakers. Never a bad single from these Swedes.

Your 33 Black Angels Drop Shaggy & Joe

Leave a comment

New York’s Your 33 Black Angels have been at it for quite some time, and in that, they’ve had my ear for a good portion of their career, mixing up club vibes with pop sentimentality…just my brand. Their latest single offers a glimpse of what we will hear when they release Eternities II this April. As expected, it opens with this dense bit of glitches and bops, driving you to your own personal dance club. But, then the vocals enter the picture, off set in their presentation, moving the song to a slower speed for a moment, only to kick in the pure bounce for the chorus. Reminds me of a coffee date between the Unicorns and Phoenix, with a bright solo celebrating their union as the song fades

Jangus Kangus Drops Double Lives

Leave a comment

It’s all about guitars and sunny riffs over here with Jangus Kangus; this song opens up like a fresh blossom on your favorite tree, which I’m hoping coincides with Spring time! The guitar notes on this song danced brightly from the get-go, magically spinning listeners before the vocals join in the party. While there’s some immediacy in this track, I appreciate the way they pull you back and forth, spring you forward with brightness, then pulling you back into a more contemplative realms of dreamy pop goodness. This is just another offering from their forthcoming debut LP, which is shaping up to be a nice ray of sunshine…look for it this April!

Strange Lounge Release New Single

Leave a comment

There’s not too much information floating about in regards to Strange Lounge, but I’ve been really enjoying their latest single. For some reason, it feels like a David Lynch film, like driving along that lost highway towards an unknown end. As much as that leaks through into the sound, they pull back the curtains on a countering vocal, offering a more ethereal female voice to work against the heavy darkness that operates on the surface. Musically, it’s all about the combination of that stabbing guitar note dancing along with the breakbeat that brings about the song’s lifeblood.

Exploding Flowers Release Across a Sea

Leave a comment

I’m awaiting my copy of Watermelon/Peacock in the mail, and yet I’m still completely excited there’s another early listen by way of their last single before the big drop from Exploding Flowers. Having adored the band since stumbling upon their last LP, this tune feels like the connecting piece of pop that’s going to make the listen to spectacular. It’s got this casualness or effortlessness to it, bringing out gentle nods of warmth and slightly obscured jangles on the back of a bouncing drum beat. It seems fitting as an album closer too, as it breezily whips from your speakers and out into the world, leaving you with this global yearning that hopefully brings brighter days. Grab a copy of the new LP from Meritorio Records today!

Perennial Return with Perennial 65′

Leave a comment

One of the most exciting acts I caught last year at SXSW was Perennial; they were perhaps the single best live performance I caught of the whole festival…following that up with the excellent Art History. They’ve quietly returned to the masses today with a brand new single and a new EP on the horizon, with the promise of a British invasion nod in their stylings. Listening through this first track, it kind of sounds like an early International Noise Conspiracy tune, working with a bluesy verse then erupting with an emphatic punch in the chorus. This is the rock n’ roll you’re here for! Perennial 65′ drops on April 4th.

The Reds Pinks and Purples Sign with Fire Records

Leave a comment

We may as well stay in Oakland at this early hour, and since I missed the original announcement, it’s time we dedicate a little of our morning to the Reds, Pinks and Purples. Glenn Donaldson andhis conspirators have spent a great portion of the last few years working voraciously for Slumberland and Tough Love, but this week they announced a signing to legendary Fire Records. Their first release will be a compilation of rare tracks, which likely includes the tune below, as it had been up for a minute on the group’s Bandcamp page; there’s a debut LP scheduled for later in 2025, which I’m sure we’ll hear more about soon! Congrats Glenn.

The Gotobeds Return with Masterclass

Leave a comment

There’s a lot of really great music out there, but the world needs a band like the Gotobeds in the musical rotation, a reminder of our most basic rock instincts. They’ve mostly been silent since Debt Begins at 30 (nearly 5 years ago now), but upon their return, they don’t seem to have skipped a step, cranking out a brand of working class indie rock that feels fresh and vital every inch of the way. They get up and drive themselves into their job, banging out every last bit of sound from their guitars; the vocals are scratching at their limits, and the drums bang like a hammer…and yet, when the job’s done, they just shut off and head home. Now, just because the first instinct you feel is their aggression, don’t be tricked, as the underlying pop pieces are what make this band a necessity. They’ll release Masterclass on May 16th via 12XU Records.

Dew Claw Drop Wall Single

Leave a comment

There’s nothing better on a Friday than cranking up your stereo and just letting the rock songs rip, so wanted to start off this Friday on the right foot by sharing this big hook-laden pop rocker from Dew Claw. The band are an all-business pop rock outfit, as you can tell by the way they just kick in with these high octane distorted riffs that help you smash through walls. That said, they’re not shying away from their anthemic inclinations, building a set of huge riffs matched only by the huge hooks that bounce right through the chorus. Their new album, E.L.F. is out this May via Dromedary Records.
