Stream New John Hufford

Leave a comment

Are you looking for something quiet today, something that speaks the spirit of humanity? Then stop here, have a listen to John Hufford and his new single. After a battle with Lyme disease, John took to penning songs in his home, in the vein of Elliott Smith and other like minded balladeers. But, on his latest release, he owns this quiet confidence that perfectly sets a balance in your day. There’s something warming in his vocal delivery, like a friendly whisper of encouragement giving you just a hint of light when needed. Soft guitar strumming and strong vocals always move us. Look for John’s Sleep EP to drop on December 15th.

Stream Fitting In Well from Girlatones

Leave a comment

Not too long ago I brought you a tune from Australia’s Girlatones, an act I had penned as an up-and-coming powerhouse…but today I’m here with the stream of their album, Fitting In Well. Across 9 songs, the band takes you all over the pop spectrum. You, of course, get to start off with the infectious “Share the Love,” bringing a bouncing bit of casual pop. But, my favorite highlight in the album’s opening moments was “You’re My Friend;” it reminds me of listening to Richie Valens in the kitchen as a kid. Then you’ll find the dark brood of “Misunderstood,” which stretches out into a minor jam before settling back into the groove. My two cents would also be well spent on “Put Me Back Together,” a track that definitely seems rooted in the well-discussed regional vibe (especially as of late). Saying that Fitting In Well is a gem from start to finish seems like a bit of an understatement, as each track could easily stand on its own. But, lucky for us all, it’s a complete collection; you can buy it directly from the band HERE.

Captivating Number from Lau Nau

Leave a comment

While browsing the webs I came across this delightful tune from Finnish songstress Lau Nau; it’s the latest single from her forthcoming Poseidon. It’s a quiet number, filled to the brim with layers of ornate orchestration. You’ll be mesmerized by the very careful rise and fall in volume as singer Laura Naukkarinen drapes lyrics over the ever-changing landscape of the track. Strings swell in line with the piano, all building along with the vocals, gradually awaiting the listener’s emotional release as the song fades to black. Her new record will drop on November 17th via Beacon Sound.

Romantic Pop from Quiet Friend

Leave a comment

You’re likely familiar with Nick Zanca of Mister Lies, but he’s here to introduce you to his new project, Quiet Friend. The band’s sound is giving off romantic 80s club vibes; it’s got those little twinkling samples, steady beats and a deep-toned vocal. You can feel yourself gradually being pulled to the dance floor as the song runs through your speakers…then just wait for that chorus to drop as all the band seems to join in for that gang vocal. There will be a self-titled LP coming out in early March of next year on Elestial Sound.

Summer Salt Get Spooky

One comment

The boys in Summer Salt are hard at work on their debut full-length, but you’ve got to take some time off to keep it light…which the boys did with this great new little Halloween ditty. While the lyrical content might lean towards the spookier side, you can still find the band’s perfect harmonies lurking around. A fun track from one of our favorites…and just a friendly reminder to grab their So Polite EP that we dropped this summer; they also have some really rad pins for your Winter jacket.

New Track from Cock and Swan

Leave a comment

We’ve definitely been flexing our love of electronic pop music the last few weeks, as there’s been an influx of great hits coming our way…just like this Cock & Swan tune. It builds really slowly, the way one would expect from a track on Holodeck; imagine the opening of Stranger Things, but here you get the vocals of Ola Hungerford. Her presence elevates the track above mere copycat, immersing the listener in a late night dreamscape you won’t want to leave. Look for the duo to drop Dream Alone on November 3rd via Hush Hush Records.

New Pop from Eoin Dolan

Leave a comment

To be fair, I hadn’t really heard of Eoin Dolan, but since he passed me his new record last week, I’ve been spending a lot of time with it. While it’s easily defined as pop music, I’m finding it rather difficult to really pen down like-minded acts…perhaps early Ariel Pink or Mac Demarco, or maybe some of Alex G’s early home recordings. There are some really beautiful moments like “Forgotten Star,” featuring Dolan’s soaring vocal prowess, but also some wobbly pop moments like “Ella.” Anyways, Ubique is a rewarding listen from the get-go, so do yourself a favor and spend a little time here today.

A New Song from the Occasional Flickers

Leave a comment

Listen up fans of Belle and Sebastian, and the like; the Occasional Flickers are the new cool kids of Scotland’s pop underground. They employ a similar style, though more straight to the point jangling pop, as opposed to the more grandiose orchestral moves of their forefathers. The finest touch is that you can tap your toes with this rhythm section, driving the track forward as the vocal harmony carries you, the listener. Their new full length, Sleep and the Time in Between is available now via Jigsaw Records, if you want your fancy tickled.

Hear the Title Track from Blushing’s New Weak EP

Leave a comment

If you’ve been following us over at ATH Records, you’re surely aware of how excited we are for 2018! We’ve got some great releases, but the first will be a 12″ EP for Blushing; they’ve titled the EP Weak. Yesterday DKFM premiered the title track on their shogegaze radio show, and I wanted to make sure you had an ample chance to hear it too, just in case you missed it accidentally. For those just being introduced to the band, you’re in for a treat, as they perfectly mesh the qualities of dream pop and shoegaze’s angular guitars; you’re really going to love it. We’ll be releasing it on January 26th, but you can grab it HEREfrom us right now.

Really Digging This New Fumes

Leave a comment

New Fumes is the work Daniel Huffman of Dallas, and honestly, I was sold on the track by the descriptor calling this “weirdo rock.” It should come as no surprise that Daniel’s worked with acts like Tobacco or the Flaming Lips; you can hear the pulsating rhythms of the former and the vocals of the latter throughout this track. It begs for digestion, careful consumption by the listener; I like that it just doesn’t seem safe, almost blissfully abnormal. One thing’s for sure, when Teeming 2, is released by Rad Cult on November 24th, I’ll have my ears ready.
