The ACL Lineup is Out

Leave a comment

Just like all my students right now, I’m scouring the list of the released artists that are playing this year’s Austin City Limits Festival. My kids are stoked to see Sabrina Carpenter, but I can always catch a live Strokes show! Further down the poster you get some sneaky good acts like Rilo Kiley and MJ Lenderman, plus the poor-man’s LCD Soundsytem will bring the dance. You can check out the full line-up HERE. The festival is set to go down on the first two weekends of October this year, and you can grab tickets HERE.

Teethe Announce Magic of the Sale

Leave a comment

Been a minute since we heard new music from Texas outfit Teethe, but today there is great news, with the band announcing their next LP, Magic of the Sale, along with the release of the title track. This tune operates with a downtrodden pace, which often gives the band a nod towards slowcore. But, there’s this slight jangle and build from the guitars, creating this delicious melodic center that quietly explodes once you cross the two minute mark. There are these moments when you think the track can just burst, yet the restraint to lock into the groove and let the song just billow on its own makes it the perfect feel. Magic of the Sale will be out this August via Winspear.

Stream New Music from Strawberry Whiplash

Leave a comment

If you are on the hunt for songs that you’ll want stuck in your head, I have a feeling you’re going to be in the right place today, especially when you click on this new Strawberry Whiplash tune. It’s another single from their forthcoming LP, which is still being mixed and such, but boy, if you don’t love this tune I don’t know what to tell you. You’d probably lump it in with modern indiepop, but there’s also something nostalgic and Sarah-esque about this ditty; I think Laz’s penchant for clean pop sounds perhaps just makes it a little more pop forward, which I promise you I love just as much. No word when the LP will be polished and ready, but this song has some other tracks attached, courtesy of Matinee Recordings.

A Wonderful Release Hour a Night

Leave a comment

If you tend to listen to a ton of new music you might occasionally find yourself much as I did when I first put on this track from A Wonderful, the songwriting project of Tim Wilson. I listened through a couple of times, and each time, I kept attaching myself to little notes in Wilson’s voice; I thought it sounded a bit like Dean Wareham (or maybe Doug Martsch), especially in moments where things get stretched out, offering this sort of magical ray of light on the horizon. Even in its simplicity, little humming moments and the hum of the guitar strings just keeps me fascinated, so I come back and find myself lost inside here. If you’re digging it, check out Ignite, the most recent release.

Little Champion Shares Suburbs + Drops New LP

Leave a comment

Little Champion makes it easy to be a big sucker for a classic pop rock punch, especially when you listen to the slight jangling rocker below. To me, it’s somewhere between Math and Physics Club and POTUSA, as the tune embraces a bit of mundane life observations, with a quick hook that digs into you and refuses to let you go here. It’s a furious little blast of joy that you’ll want to put in your pocket and carry away with you all day. The new record, Peaks Island and Other Places is chock full of hooks and pop moments that will keep you smiling as you circle back to press play over and over; it’s available to stream in full HERE.

Alien Boy Drop I Broke My World Video

Leave a comment

Friday will see the release of the new Alien Boy, and it’s generating a lot of buzz across the Interwebs. When this song kicks off, there’s this smattering of swirling guitars and thundering drums, setting the tone for this huge wall of beautiful noise, leaving just enough space for the vocals to cruise through coolly. The group’s aspirations were to create something akin to great classic pop rock records, such as those from the early years of Smashing Pumpkins; they look to take that immediacy and push it to the max, cranking noise that you can revisit time and time again. Check the latest video out, and grab You Wanna Fade this Friday via Get Better Records.

Brideshead Release The Light I’m Running To Single

Leave a comment

Just a bit ago we were fortunate to share the news of Brideshead circling back with a brand new LP, and today there’s another new ditty that I hope you’ll really love. At times, the track connects with these really sharp jangles, creating this springy step that has your toes tapping and your body swaying. While those charms are classic, there’s also this more indie rock centric vibe in the chorus that takes the group’s melodic tendencies to the next level. It’s a nice little mixture of styles, sprinkling in the group’s ability to charm from start to finish. You Are the Light will be out on May 23rd via Shelflife.

Monthly Club 8 Single Post

Leave a comment

Driving bedroom pop is my cup of tea, and it’s best if its served by Swedish outfit Club 8, who drop a tune a month that keeps their name forever on my mind. This track wastes no time at all, hitting with this synthetic stomp from the snares and bubbling bass groove that just punches the gas. Soft vocals dominate the verses, and while I love that aspect, the hurried pick-up that drives the chorus is really special, lifting the song with this slight little switch of directions, almost reaching anthemic heights as the vocals seem to overlap one another. Hopefully they try to top this one for next month, as this might be one of their finest pieces to date.

March Dove Share Skyfalling Single

Leave a comment

When this single from Polish bunch March Dove made its way over, I was captured by the growl of the guitar; it felt like it had its own story to tell, so when the vocals came in atop, the track sort of just gripped me. I thought they could have happily stayed in the dream pop realm, albeit the darker side, but they opted to embrace the shoegaze with this forceful blast of noise. The song recedes momentarily, though the group bring it all back, tackling noisier territory that echoes throughout as the song carries on, lost in its own striking world.

Last Week’s Jams (4.28 – 5.2)

Leave a comment

One third of the year is behind us now, and so we’re getting towards that moment when arbitrary best of 2025 lists began to pop up, but we’re keeping our eyes on the prize, focusing on new music, however it comes. There were some definite bonus tunes coming our way, like new Stereolab, as they prep for their forthcoming LP. Slumberland continued their great 2025 by announcing a new Autocamper LP (along with Safe Suburban Home). Personally, I was really excited to hear that Far Caspian has a new one on the way, as I loved the single shared this week. Perennial favorite acts also dropped new singles, so you’ll hear ditties from The High Water Marks, the Beths, Provoker and the Serfs. Give a little listen and start making your own mid-year list!
