I’m a Big Shrouded Strangers Fan

10671270_715327151885928_1845651530695625279_nI’ve always jammed to Shrouded Strangers, so of course new material means new mass consumption, on my part.  But, the band just put up the closing track to their latest release, Teleport Beach.  I love the way the tune opens up with this hazy psychedelic stomp; if it kept up with that style alone it would get a lot of love, period. But, the band completely switches positions and styles, turning the track into a charming saloon style boogie with some help from their friends like Nikki West. You can grab the cassette on August 28th from Burger Records!

Library Voices Bring Back Classic Indie Rock

Leave a comment

lovishI don’t know, but if you were to ask me what a “classic” indie rock period sound was like, it would sound like Library Voices.  It was that period where rock music started to take on tones of Americana, but still adhered to fuzzy production and a DIY aesthetic.  In my mind, it’s the most memorable period, as a whole, as some of my favorite records were birthed during that time, which is perhaps why I’m so in love with this Library Voices track.  The band have had some struggles over the last few years, but isn’t that what crafts the best tunes in the long run? Their album, Lovish, will be released by Nevado Music on November 6th.

Darwin Deez Is Pure Fun

Leave a comment

darwinA lot of time I find myself caught up in the world of artistry or hype or both, but sometimes, you just want a great pop song.  Something that makes you smile, something undeniable: this is Darwin Deez, and it’s always been Darwin Deez.  He writes infectious tune after infectious tune, coming across like a radio friendly Pedro the Lion.  His newest album, Double Down, is just around the corner with a September 18th release date scheduled by Lucky Number.  I don’t know about you, but it never hurts just to have a little fun with your hits.

ATX Spotlight: Allgood Has Me Excited

One comment

allgoodIn going through all the local shows, I was looking towards Saturday’s show over at Empire Control Room.  One of the bands, Allgood completely caught my ear.  They have an album, but their latest single, aside from that release, is pretty remarkable.  It lives somewhere in the world between bands like Wampire and Unknown Mortal Orchestra; that basically means you’ll be drawn into playing it again and again.  From my investigation, it looks like the band are fairly recent transplants to town (even though it’s dying), and looking to get out and play some shows, so go check them before they amass a huge following.

New Gem from Post Louis

Leave a comment

postlouisPost Louis has been on my radar for a bit, ever since I heard their Uptight EP; I had to go back then to their first one, This Could Be a Bridge. Word’s been passing around this week that the band is in the studio working on their debut LP, and with it they’ve released this delightful new track, “30m.”  Part of the song has this sultry pop side to it, but the other pop has these careful artistic flourishes like a Joan of Arc record.  I’m hoping we hear more of that sort as the band continue to develop their sound, polishing the corners of their tracks. I’ll keep you posted as we hear more, but for now, at least you have this tune.

Boogarins Are Back

Leave a comment

boogarinsTraditionally, I wouldn’t post a lyric video…but seeing as this song isn’t available any other way yet and it’s in Portuguese, it might just require such a post.  Well, there’s that and the fact that I really enjoy the work that Boogarins have been doing…this new jam included.  You’ll definitely hear moments of the band’s exploratory psych tendencies, but I also like the art-pop moment that comes from the line “that will not let me see the sun/they will not let me see the sun;” it’s possibly my favorite moment on the track.  Their new LP, Manual, will be available on October 30th via Other Music/Burger Records.

Is America Ready for No Zu?

Leave a comment

nozuI’m not quite sure a lot of people Stateside have heard of No Zu…unless they picked up the Cut Copy compilation Oceans Apart from awhile back.  But, the groove on this track from the Melbourne artists will surely perk up some ears here.  First, there’s that throbbing pulse, yet you can also hear the influence of so many other areas like big band to 80s pop music.  It’s an interesting pastiche, and one that should come across as rather refreshing in a genre that can often grow stale.  You can grab this new single from the band’s new label, Chapter Music, or wait for their next LP on the label early next year; it’s titled Afterlife.

ATX Spotlight: Video Kill New Tune

Leave a comment

videoThe opening lines of this Video track had me completely fooled; I thought I had died and gone to a prog-rock heaven (or hell in my case).  But, just be patient, as the group kicks in with their angst-laden rock n’ roll in a matter of moments, pushing quickly to the track’s finish. There’s definitely some lineage to members’ other acts like Wiccans, Radioactivity or Bad Sports, but you should instead focus on how infectious yet hard-edged this new tune feels. Look for their album, The Entertainers, to hit the streets on October 30th via Third Man Records.

Enjoying This Line & Circle Tune

Leave a comment

lineandcircleOkay, all you have to do is listen to the guitar lines and you’ll know exactly why I’m hooked on the sound of the new Line & Circle tune.  It’s a hint of jangling, but there’s also this warmth that comes with the purest of indiepop…that part lays mostly in the sound of the vocal.  It almost sounds like the song could be a huge 80s underground 80s hit, but it seems perfectly fitting into the modern landscape.  They’ll be releasing their album, Split Figure, on October 2nd via Grand Gallop…it should have a pretty rad sound.
