Juanita Stein Shares Motionless

Leave a comment

Starting off our Monday with a bit of a different role this week, and rather than pull out a “Last Week’s Jams” with five songs, we’re circling back to the cool stuff we missed, like this new single from Juanita Stein. The British singer just dropped The Weightless Hour, and with that, she’s offered up a visual of album standout “Motionless,” and it’s drifting brand of indie rock definitely caught my ear. You’ll get a slight smokiness, kind of hazy, but brimming with power, much like you’d get from an Angel Olsen or Sharon van Etten, and in that you get a moving performance that we hope gets you to check out her new LP!

Geoffrey O’Connor Shares Let’s Make Love Feel Good Again

Leave a comment

While I’m still perplexed by the ever-present penguin in the new series of videos from Geoffrey O’Connor, I’m totally thrilled by his pop penmanship, as he’s written another swooning pop track I adore. Casually shimmying into the verses, he works the track like a singer controlling his audience; you can almost feel him moving across the stage as he locks into that connection. But, the big winner is the chorus, as longtime ATH hero Emma Russack lends her voice, effortlessly lifting the melody that rains upon the listener with each falling note. Another gem from the forthcoming I Love What We Do, out on February 14th via Dinosaur City.

Skeleten Drops Bodys Chorus Single

Leave a comment

It looks like Skeleten is aiming to drive folks crazy with the title of their latest tune, “Bodys Chorus,” as my writing program has all sorts of red lines under this post. Still, the musical craft is perfect for opening up into what, for me, is a holiday work; you get this sort of low-end industrial beat, careful to kind of build an R&B groove that allows for the vocals to seep into the track’s core. Each vocal note rides just on top of the mix, almost as if it’s a textural layer being built to buoy the sound itself, then furthered by this ringing guitar note that dances across the mixture. Mentalized, the new Lp, comes out in February via 2MR/Astral.

Golden Tiles Drop Debut EP

Leave a comment

If you’re in need of some lo-fi indie rock to stream over this next week, you’re not going to find much better than the debut EP from Portland’s Golden Tiles. “Tale We Told” takes on a slow-burning cigarette mode, just kind of slowly moving in and out of delicious little melodies and distorted waves of joy; I loved the light-hearted nature of the vocals throughout. Maybe you’re looking for something that feels GBV adjacent, so might we suggest pressing play on “100%,” which uses that heavy bass before careening off into it’s own lo-fi energy. The First EP is chock full of really great moments that keep you circling back, so special shout out to Antiquated Future for putting this on our radar!

Last Week’s Jams (11.18 – 11.22)

Leave a comment

There were a lot of jams, and there wasn’t a lot of time, and all that to say, I still got an excuse to write about the new Cistern EP, with it’s banging opening track included below. Prism Shores continued to shell out hits, while Austin act SKLOSS return with news of their signing to Fuzz Club Records. The Rishis dropped in some delightful psychedelic pop, if that’s your bag, and if not, well maybe you get a little folk on your feet and crank up new Will Johnson for our ears. We also brought out some slow jams from Clara Ziegler and Disarme, among others, so all your feels are here below. Just press play.

Stream Cistern’s New Standard EP

Leave a comment

Over the last month or so, I’ve definitely been on board the Cistern hype train, perhaps even throwing the wood on the fire. Today, you can stream the entirety of New Standard, and in doing so, you’ll be filled with this angular punk energy that should carry some enthusiasm into your afternoon. The catchy enthusiasm of “Pendulum” reminds me of the Futureheads, stabbing guitar energy that makes your feet stomp on the club floors. For me, “Crisis” is one of my favorite jams of the year, and I keep cranking it up, much to the dismay of my 6th period class, who are trying to finalize their projects. File it somewhere between Ought and Omni, and most certainly under awesome!

King Husky Offers Running Single

Leave a comment

Our friends over in Norway have promised to keep us abreast of the best in power-pop, with the likes of I Was a King and the High Water Marks among our favorites (always and forever). Today, we’re jamming to King Hsky, which is the new recording project from Vidar Linda, known for his work in metal band Kvelertak, though the pop below is definitely a left turn. It’s marked by the feathered melodies, wrapped around the ornate ring of the guitars, with some charming backing vocals from Anne Frokedal (of IWaK); the snapping of the keys and drums in unison builds this vibrance too, pushing rays of sunshine through your speakers. Be on the lookout for a self-titled LP to drop next Spring via Hype City.

Clara Ziegler Releases These Are the Good Days

Leave a comment

It may seem like I’m all up in my feelings today, based upon the musical selection, but I assure you, I’m just writing about the hits as they come, like this Clara Ziegler tune that washed ashore from Sweden. It’s one of the tracks that features on her new These Are the Good Days EP, highlighting the smoky nature of her voice. The musical element throughout is fairly light, allowing the song to mostly operate as a vehicle for the vocal performance. Synths wash across the backdrop, with a faint percussive pulse working in; it all leads to the 4 minute mark (or damned near) where the beat opens up and guitars swirl, twisting that voice into something more angelic. Jam the tune below, and take a peep at These Are the Good Days.

Prism Shores Share Tourniquet

Leave a comment

As if the first single from the new Prism Shores wasn’t a big enough statement, they offer their new jam, perhaps topping the joy of the first one. This go round, things are a little more patient, looking more inward, almost akin to the earliest of Teenage Fanclub moments, though there’s something in the guitar style that does feel very fresh. Each vocal go round carries this softness, but in a manner that sounds more introspective, tying it the current indie scene. You even get a little digression just after the 1.5 minute mark, leading into a beautiful closing moment. Out from Underneath is going to be something quite special, so look for it the day after my birthday, January 17th, courtesy of Meritorio Records.

Skloss Announce The Pattern Speak

Leave a comment

Austin/Glasgow duo SKLOSS have been making waves the last few years, releasing their Voices Travel Through EP in 2022; their buzz has led to the signing with Fuzz Club Records for their forthcoming LP. The video version sets the ominous tone with a dimly lit convenience store introducing the opening riff that builds before Karen enters the picture with wailing vocals over the top. Slowly, drums begin to thump while the guitar continues to reverberate. Everything smashes together and the two lock into a heavy groove, displaying the full force the duo bring to the table. If heavy psychedelia is your cup of tea, sign up to follow SKLOSS and their new LP The Pattern Speaks…out on February 7th.
