New Music from Rainbow Reservoir

Leave a comment

Press play and you’re off, bounding down this quick little number from Rainbow Reservoir, who just announced their brand new LP yesterday. The title track for this number is rather fitting, as “Fuzzy” guitar dominates the track, though don’t think the band left out the hooks. Angela Space’s performance makes the number an undeniable hit, vibrant and emphatic, the way the best performers do. You’ll be happy to know that Channel Hanna is being handled by the very esteemed Oddbox Records; the release date is set for January 26th.

New Music from Odd Hope

Leave a comment

A few years ago Odd Hope released a simple single on Fruits & Flowers, and it was enchanting; it still plays in many of my playlists to this day. And quietly, the group just announced another release, with this charming pop ditty. The bending guitar notes move quickly into a tight little jangle, matched by a delicate vocal that leads to the chorus of “I’ll still love you.” It’s really just a simple pop song that is executed so perfectly that you’ll be playing it over and over again the rest of the day. Look for a new release from the band on November 16th.

The Jesus and the Mary Chain @ Emos (Tomorrow Night)

Leave a comment

Thirty plus years into their career, and people, such as myself, are still clamoring to catch The Jesus and Mary Chainlive. I’ve been fortunate enough to catch the legendary act twice, though both have been at festivals, so perhaps the intimacy was missing…until now. Tomorrow night in Austin, the Scottish act will grace Emos, allowing those in attendance to get just a little bit closer to the band. They’re touring in support of their recent album, Damage and Joy, which was their first release of original material in almost 20 years. Even if you haven’t listened to that new LP, they’re guaranteed to play some of their “hits,” so fans will be sure to get a taste of nostalgia. Plus, the Dig are opening up, who’ve started to map out some solid performances in their own right, so be sure to show up early.

Doors are at 7 PM; tickets still available HERE.

A New Release from Freshcard and Stanley Brinks

Leave a comment

Both Freshcard and Stanley Brinks feature here on the site many a time, and they’re back with a brand new collection of songs titled Midnight Tequila. While the two tend to wear their folk influences, this batch of tracks really seems to stretch the genre, especially on tracks like “Africa” or “I’m the Boss.” Every song has redeeming qualities, though admittedly I’m partial to “Limestone” and “Olives and Wine.” You can stream the whole ten songs just below, and if you’re so inclined, you can order the CD version directly from Freshcard.

New Music from Soltero

Leave a comment

Soltero has been fairly quiet over the last several years, but you can’t keep a good songwriter down. This Friday Tim Howard will released Western Medicine Blues, and fans of literary folk will want to take note. He opens this new song with careful wordplay over lightly strummed chords; this would normally be enough to win me over, but Howard isn’t settled with just enough. Backing vocals enter just after the 1 minute mark, guitar chords become more pronounced in the mix…then we’re off with percussion rolling and guitar accompanying guitar flares. If you find this song as endearing as I, then look for the new album to drop on Friday!

Airy Indiepop from The Seashells

Leave a comment

It’s been just about two years since we last heard new music from The Seashells, and thankfully, they’ve just unleashed this delicate indiepop gem to warm you today. An angular guitar line is the dominant instrument here, working atop programmed drums loops as the charm of the vocals wash over you. Very slight backing vocals seep in, but the mood is still dominated by those guitar lines and the soft presentation of the lyrics. Mondays are made for being unexpectedly charmed, and this track does just that; we’ll keep you updated on release news if it comes our way.

Holly Miranda Drops New Tune

Leave a comment

I’m already starting to put together a list of anticipated albums for 2018, and it sounds like Holly Miranda just added her name to the list. Her performance on this song is pretty stunning, especially when accented by Kyp Malone, who takes on few verses on his own. Perhaps the best thing about this track is that the duo leave a big space behind the delicate guitar and vocals; it draws the listener deep within the confines of the track, rolling them over and over in melancholic pop. Look for a new album from Miranda come February of next year.

Spin This Erie Choir Track

Leave a comment

Many of you will likely find Eric Roehrig lurking in your record collection, particularly if you happened to spend a lot of time with Saddle Creek early on; he sang and played guitar in Sorry About Dresden. But, he’s spent the last few years working on his new project, Erie Choir. It was initially conceptualized as a solo affair, but Eric fleshed out a full band, and that decision definitely benefits the work of the track below. There’s a pop Americana feel here, and the details like slide guitar and piano tinkering develop the track into a moving piece. Perhaps it’s added years in my own life, but Roehrig sounds friendly and familiar here, like only the best of songwriters. This gem will feature on the group’s new album, Old Rigs, which drops next week via Potluck.

Brand New Math and Physics Club

Leave a comment

After teasing me all day yesterday with hints of new music, I woke up to this glorious new single from Math and Physics Club. You’ve likely seen the band hit these pages before, and they’ve only continued to impress as more time passes. Here, it only takes a few mere moments before the band bound off with energy that captivates. As the band maneuvers back and forth between casual and energetic, they begin to remind of early Death Cab or Nada Surf. The layered details from backing vocals to distant guitar work display a great deal of confidence…letting the band stake their claim to the finest pop purveyor of the day. They’ll be releasing Lived Here Before via Fika/Matinee on January 26th.

 

New Tune from Thigh Master

Leave a comment

Thigh Master has been high on my list of Aussie imports this year, and they just announced a forthcoming split with Dag (another of my favorites) for December. Those familiar with any of the previously managed bands will surely enjoy this track, as it walks that line between angular guitar and haphazard melody. To me, the band just embrace their own musical inclinations, even with slight tonal imperfections; this is what Pavement would have sounded like had they just gone out to have a grand old time. This split 7″ will drop on Bruit Direct Disques come the end of December.
