New Tuff Sunshine Jam

Leave a comment

tuffTuff Sunshine has been on my stereo a lot lately. There’s something about their blend of styles that’s been really attractive; I can hear glam, punk and even roots-rock coursing through their songs, so the diversity keeps things pretty interesting from start to finish. Still, it all has this anthemic touch to it, almost built to be blasted out of your nearest arena show (do they even do those anymore?). They just unleashed this video version of the song HERE, but I’ve got the song below for you to stream. Their album Fire in the Hero Building will be out on October 30th for those interested parties.

New Old Jonathan Bree Tune

Leave a comment

jonathanI feel like I’ve given a lot of coverage to the jangling guitar types in the Oceanic area, so why not turn our attention to this beautiful piece of pop music from Auckland’s Jonathan Bree. Jonathan’s been working on this album for a bit, and it’s said to have a lot of classical influences from the likes of Tchaikovsky. Still, the construction and Bree’s vocal tones make him sound a little bit more like Jarvis Cocker, in my mind at least. He’ll be releasing A Little Night Music on October 23rd via Lil Chief Records. You can also view a great video for the song HERE.

Another Track from Traams

Leave a comment

traamsIt’s looking like things for Traams are coming together quite nicely; everyone is trying their best to catch the band’s attention and give them a few kind words. Why would we be any different? Modern Dancing is the title of the band’s new effort , and this single has this propulsive groove coming from the rhythm section that I hope is prevalent throughout. It’s a pretty intoxicating track with that rhythm, but don’t think that the band’s knack for incorporating understated guitar noise will be absent…just listen right at the 2.30 minute mark. This is definitely one of my highlight tracks from the record, so spin it a few times to see if you feel the same. It’s out via Fatcat on November 13th.

Sweet! New DIIV Tune

DIIV

DIIV

A few years ago, DIIV was all the rage on the Internet, but when their album came out, I’ll admit I wasn’t blown away…as much as people expected me to be. But, I had a lot of hope for the band going forward, especially after they put on an incredible set at Levitation Fest this past year. Lucky for us, their new single fulfills on the live sets promise. It holds onto the slightly jangling post rock atmosphere, while driving home a pop-centric vocal that’s perfectly fitting. The date of their confusingly titled Is The Is Are has yet to be announced, but rest assured, it’s coming soon via Captured Tracks.

Leave a comment

jennyThere must be a soft spot in the hearts of Holy Mountain, as they’ve got a couple of really beautiful songstresses playing their venue in the next week, Jenny Hval, however, is first up. She’s gotten a lot of praise for Apocalypse, girl, her newest album, with the 7.9 from everyone’s favorite haters over at P4K. Clearly, she’s doing something right, which should encourage you to head over to Holy Mountain tonight to check out her set. She’ll be accompanied by Briana Marela, who is know slouch in her own right, having recently released All Around Us for Jagjaguwar.  It’s a heavy hitting evening of ladies, and it’s only $11 bucks, HERE.

Sing-A-Long with Stanley Brinks and the Wave Pictures

Leave a comment

berlinThere’s just something about the work between The Wave Pictures and Stanley Brinks that’s just exceptionally charming. You can hum the words or sing them at full strength, but regardless you’ll find yourself being charmed. It’s just some sort of insane magic they’ve concocted together, with more coming in the form of the album titled My Ass. But, while we wait for it, Fika Recordings is letting you grab a 7″ with this wonderful tune; I think I already have half the words memorized, and plan to have the whole thing down by the time you read this. Grab copies of the album or the 7″ directly from the wonderful label.

Gun Outfit Unleash New Single

Leave a comment

gunoutfitJust when you thought you had Gun Outfit pegged, they go and mix things up on you, tossing out a real slow burner as their latest single. Kind of sounds like the post-rock ghost of Bill Callahan, which I won’t be complaining about anytime soon. There’s all sorts of space in the track being filled in and out with guitar noodling and percussive touches to flesh out the number. Their new album, Dream All Over, definitely will be on my list of must buys, but just in case you haven’t been thoroughly convinced, give this one a listen. You can grab the album from Paradise of Bachelors on October 16th.

Black Lips Give Us a Ditty

Leave a comment

blacklipsI’ve always enjoyed the Black Lips, but I have to admit, sometimes their ramshackle approach can make a full length listen difficult. Surely this new track exemplifies the band’s knack for wrapping their sound around warm melodies; it’s almost just a jangling folk pop tune…and that’s definitely fine by me. Perhaps it’s unexpected in the long run of their musical approach, but looking forward it might offer a glimpse at where the band is going. We get to hear this number on a new 7″ with my favorite ladies, The Coathangers, when they release a double-sided split on November 13th via Suicide Squeeze Records.

Stuttering Pop from Sheer Agony

Leave a comment

unnamedI really have no idea what way to describe or even marginalize Sheer Agony, and that alone should make listening to their latest single worth your time pressing play. It’s like a proggy power art pop, if that makes any sense. There’s definitely a little bit of a shuffle in the bass line, but a huge dosage of pop in the way that vocal is delivered just after the 30 second mark. You’re not likely to hear another track like it this week, this month or even this year…making it all the more cool in its own distinct way. Look for the group’s Masterpiece LP via Couple Skate on October 30th.

Show Preview: Get Up Kids + Diet Cig @ Mohawk (9.16)

Leave a comment

getupkids12Those of you who consider yourself fans of emo, old and new, will want to be on hand at the Mohawk on Wednesday night. You’ll be treated to the legendary emo godfathers, The Get Up Kids, playing their 20th Anniversary Tour. They’ll be playing with Josh Berwanger and Hotelier; I can tell you that the last time they came through it was nothing short of a 2 hour long singalong.

But, I also implore you stick around that night and watch Diet Cig, who’ve released a couple of endearing EPs via Father Daughter Records. Honestly, there’s not a better way to celebrate the genre, or just good music in general, so make you have it on your schedule. Pleasure Venom will open the evening for you.
