Hear Another Cozy Slippers Gem

Leave a comment

Cozy Slippers first came on my radar a few weeks ago when Jigsaw Records put up a new single from the group’s Postcards EP. Well, good news is they’ve now offered up another fine item for your streaming pleasure. I like the tonal quality from the opening minute, almost ticking you into a post-punk vibe before settling into the rising/falling vocal harmonies that subdue any pop aficionado. They’re playful in their craft, trading hooks, dare I say, back and forth. It’s a song you’ll find hard to pull yourself away from; the Postcards EP will drop on April 20th.

Stream The Journey for the Giant Jelly Bean

Leave a comment

What? You had no idea there was an album titled The Journey for the Giant Jelly Bean coming out? Well, it’s out now, and you can stream it. Jarebear is the new namesake for Jared from Zoltars and the Infinites…two powerhouse Austin acts; he’s taken the time over the last decade or so to craft an album of garage rock hits for both kids and their parents. The premise of the record relies upon the search for a giant jelly bean that will save the world; each song is like a perfect chapter in the grander story. You’ll have to stream it below to figure out what happens in the end. Congrats Jared!

Enjoying This New Bent Denim

Leave a comment

Bent Denim is definitely in the ascending stages of their career, with the likes of GFP and Stereogum giving the band consistent coverage, and deservedly. There’s something nostalgic in the sound, something 2000 era Jade Tree fans would’ve definitely adored. The vocals have this fragile earnestness, yet a sense of ebbing longing that captures the emotional appeal necessary to connect with a listener. While clocking in at just under 2 minutes, there’s plenty to digest, plus you can return with ease…and you’ll want to! Town and Country will be out on May 11th.

Love This New S. Carey Video

Leave a comment

S. Carey‘s latest video really hits home for me, and not just musically. I used to live in Yellowstone. True story. And, I’ll admit, I wish I had Carey’s tune in my car as I drove throughout the park on errands and what not; it does perfectly match the setting and ambiance of traveling through the park. But, be warned, as they actually don’t hit the park until about the 1.5 minute mark; they go through some other locales, equally as majestic. Maybe it’s nostalgia, maybe it’s just a damn good song, but I’m going to keep watching this video on repeat for a bit. You’ll find this track on the latest LP, Hundred Acres, via Jagjaguwar.

Enjoy New Annabel Allum

Leave a comment

The continued growth of songwriter Annabel Allum is pretty special to watch. She’s moved from early folk stylings into a confident rocker, blending the line between the two. Her new single almost seems like a confessional, and the verses seem to be perfect if she were to play a solo acoustic gig. But, as we’ve seen with her earlier single this year, she’s building up this wall of sound with her band that comes crashing down on the listener during the chorus. Her voice takes on a soaring tone, cymbals shake and you find yourself wrapped up in every moment. Still no word on a debut LP, but another hit never hurts.

New Music from Lehmann B Smith

Leave a comment

I actually just watched Lehmann B Smith play in Totally Mild last week during SXSW, but now we get to hear what he’s been doing on his own. Bedroom Suck Records just announced they’ll be releasing his new record Poplar Music, and we’re here to give you a glimpse with the album’s first single. It’s strange in that it feels like the song could almost be a stomp, especially with the guitar chords that sit in the back, almost propelling the song forward. But, there’s something about the way Smith has texturized the track that elevates it beyond, whether with vocal bits or atmospheric touches and tinkers. I’m digging it, if that matters; the album drops on May 25th.

Pretty Rad Holy Wave Tune

Leave a comment

There’s something about the new developments in the Holy Wave world that have piqued my interest; they’ve stepped slightly outside the realm of psychedelia to capture a broader sound, particularly on this new single. The first several minutes of the track do harken to the core genre, though they’ve included these brighter notes, just the faintest hint of Stereolab perhaps ebbing through. Then, the vocals enter the picture, with two seemingly contrasting vocal pieces, playing to each other; it’s a nod to dreamier bedroom pop, though with a larger sound one can’t escape. It’s like some weird sandwich that encapsulates everything in the current musical climate; I love it. Check the band’s Adult Fear LP on March 30th via Reverberation Appreciation Society.

Fresh Music from New Feelings

Leave a comment

There’s always a cycle of nostalgia in the music landscape; someone’s circling back to something in their record collection and presenting it in a new fashion. Thus, I introduce you to Sweden’s New Feelings. The band have just released their new single, and it’s striking from the moment the operatic vocal reaches through your speakers. The rest of the band strips things down, crafting a delectable club presence, equal part 80s retro and modern pop. As of now, this single is just a first step into what we hope are huge things from the Swedes; their new Introducing EP is being handled by Rama Lamafor a release on April 13th.

Another Hit from The Love-Birds

Leave a comment

In a year where Trouble In Mind seemingly can do no wrong, we’ve now got another track from the label’s latest signing, The Love-Birds. This song has these rising and falling guitar chords, leaving plenty of space for the vocals to do the same. I like how the slight jangling turns into a more distorted cascade of noise as the song unfolds into a close. The vocals also carry a slight rasp/warble, forcing the listener into close attention…begging you to dive into the content. Pretty impressed with the way this band’s evolving; their debut In The Lover’s Corner will drop on May 25th.

New Aisha Burns Album On Its Way

One comment

Aisha Burns is a long-time friend of the site, and we’re really glad she’s got a new LP on its way. This track hits you emotionally right from the start, pulled deep within by the sheer magnificence of her voice. Strong and powerful, it soars, but the depth of this song is truly reached when the strings are woven into the song’s tapestry. The power of the music alone should connect you to the thematic elements in Aisha’s new record; it’s an album where she works through the struggles of losing her mother and coping with such a loss. It’s a powerful piece, and we can fully expect that Argonauta will be just as strong; it’s released on May 25th via Western Vinyl.
