More from Jacco Gardner

Leave a comment

jackoJacco Gardner has been an ATH favorite, and as he prepares us to listen to his new record, Hynophobia, it seems that’s he constructing music that fits the album’s title.  The first minute of the album’s title track has this hypnotic build to it, wrapping up the listener in the aesthetic pleasure of Gardner’s work before allowing his whispering vocals to gently croon in to the track.  It’s his patience in songwriting that really has drawn me closer to listening to his music; you’ve got to have a patient ear, but in doing so, you’ll ultimately be rewarded by your repeated listens.  Look for the new LP on May 5th via Polyvinyl.

Playful Pop from Summer Fiction

Leave a comment

summerThere’s a playful quality that comes with the simplicity of the new Summer Fiction tune.  It reeks of early Dent May, which isn’t a bad thing, mind you, as we raved about that release.  The focus is surely on the vocal delivery, with a light bit of piano and percussion backing things the entire way through. It bodes well for the Mancunian songwriter and his new effort, which will probably offer tracks just as playful as the one that follows below.  Look for Himalaya to be released on June 16th; should be something worthy of spending time with during the summer twilight hours.

ATX Spotlight: Institute Full Length On Its Way

Leave a comment

instLast year’s Salt EP really solidified Institute as a group to be aware of in the broad spectrum of the Internet rock n’ roll buzz-bands, but those in Austin likely had already been paying attention to the group (if not their other projects like Glue or Wiccans, etc). Now, they’ve got the release of their new full-length lined-up, and this first single really has me amped for its release.  You’ll hear a certain nonchalance in the delivery of the vocals, while there’s a sharpness in the gritty recording of the rest of the act. Sounds like the band’s going all over the place on Catharsis, and I hope you all have fun on the ride…going to be a good one. (Sacred Bones 6/9)

Jam the New Michael Rault Tune

Leave a comment

mrThis new track from Michael Rault‘s pretty stellar, continuing the differentiation that Burger Records has been going through in the last year or so.  I guess you could call it lo-fi, but it’s more in the vein of Coma Cinema or Alex G, though there’s a sunnier side to his tunes.  It’s like taking the songwriting chops of the other two, tossing it in with a little California cologne, then spitting it out…it’s fucking dreamy. Living Daylight, his new album, will be out on May 5th via Burger, so if it’s your style, get your cash ready.

Another Solid Ancient River Track

Leave a comment

ancientIf you’re going to make psychedelic rock, I feel like you should do it like Ancient River do.  They always sound like they’re playing in a smoke-filled room, barely audible among a hushed bunch of cult followers.  There’s no bombast or stomp to the sound; it’s just delivered in a steady manner that really allows for the listener to get lost in the emotional appeal of their music.  I’m expecting big things based on this new single, so we’ll see how it all unfolds when Keeper of the Dawn is unleashed on April 14th.

Wonderful New Tune from The Cave Children

Leave a comment

cavechildrenThis tune from Greek outfit The Cave Children drifted across the ocean and into my consciousness, sticking there most of the last few days.  It’s a casual bit of pop music, relaxed in its approach, softly bouncing through your speakers.  I appreciate how they’re really able to hold steady throughout the song, not rushing but not going slowly, just wrapping their arms around pop sensibility and really going for it.  They’re releasing their debut album, Quasiland, this week via Inner Ear Records, and I have a feeling you’re going to love it.

Heat Offer Us Something A Little Bit Different

Leave a comment

heatersNot sure exactly what it is about this song, but the four dudes in Heat have concocted something both enchanting and strange.  I think it’s the delivery of the vocals, laid out in a matter of fact manner, that really changes the dynamic of this track.  You’ll hear a throbbing bass line and shimmering guitars working their way in and out of this tune, but it’s all set as the background for the spoken word story being given to listeners. The Montreal group will release their Rooms EP on May 4th via Kitsune.

Chief Ghoul Does It For Me

Leave a comment

ghoulThere’s something in the simplicity of singer-songwriters that often make it’s difficult to really immerse yourself in the music, at least for my ears.  But, occasionally you lock into something that seems really special, and you hold onto it…which is the case with Chief Ghoul.  I mean, listening to this song, the lyrics seemingly get repetitive, but the sound of the guitar and the passion in the voice just drags me in.  Must have played this song nearly a dozen times in the last thirty minutes. His newest album, III, should be hitting very soon, so keep an eye out.

Skittle Alley Are Back At It

Leave a comment

10477397_10152746068322091_6991957065971955556_nI feel like I’ve been neglecting my one true love, indiepop as of late.  But, luckily I was treated to a magical new tune from Skittle Alley while browsing the Internet today.  As of now, the tune is titled as a “demo,” but I kind of hope they keep the aesthetic going into the mastering process. There’s a twinkling effect to the guitars, and the vocals are delivered perfectly, leaving your heart dreaming, just as great indiepop should do. No word on when will get to hear an entire album worth of material, but if it keeps going in this direction it’s going to be marvelous.

Fauna Shade Wrote a Rad Tune

Leave a comment

faunaThat’s not to say that the band hasn’t written a rad tune before, but I felt like this was a good place to start, considering it’s one of the tunes featured on their upcoming Baton Rouge LP.  There’s a little bit of swagger, but a little bit of Haight-Ahsbury imitation lurking too, though the song’s much too subdued to really be a “psych” rock track…it’s more just like a really good song that I hope you’ll enjoy today. So if Fauna Shade is new to you, keep an eye on the group, as this debut could be something strong that your friends won’t be hip to just yet.
