Interested to Hear this Y33BA

Leave a comment

y3Your 33 Black Angels is a collective group of musicians rocking it in Brooklyn.  But, while a lot of the collectives generally have a post-rock feel, there seems to be a more pop-centric focus of this outfit, akin to Violens.  I wouldn’t be surprised if they totally flipped it on me though, and brought out something incredibly rad and different; I mean, isn’t that what collectives are for…to push the envelope? We’ll all get to hear exactly what the work of mixed minds have concocted when they release GLAMOUR on May 12th…for now we have this little taste.

Spend Friday with Creepoid (SXSW Artist)

Leave a comment

creepzThere are some tunes that you click on and immediately you’re hooked. For me, this new Creepoid had it with that guitar sound; it opens carefully, swirling around your earbuds before bursting forth with a bit more distortion and volume.  Here you’ll find that the vocals fit perfectly into the track, never overstepping the rest of the band, riding out the huge wave of post-rock that the band has set up.  They’ve just signed to Collect Records to release their album Cemetery Highrise Slum; it’ll be  out via the label on June 23rd.

Marie Davidson Crafts Herself Some IDM

Leave a comment

marieEDM gets all the hype nowadays, but there are small circles that appreciate the original days where the I replaced the E, making ambient/techno in a smarter, possibly less consumable, manner. On Marie Davidson‘s latest single, it’s clear to me that she’s stepping forward to grab the reins.  There’s an immediate propulsion to the tune, though it’s not an out-and-out beat to make the kids pump their fists.  Little electronic bleeps burst through while Davidson speaks in French atop her constructed piece.  This is the sort of electronic music I can get behind; look out for Un Autre Voyage via Holodeck Records on April 14th.

Finnmark! Return With Classic Pop

Leave a comment

finnMan, how I missed Finnmark!. I guess the troubles of being in a band are recording, touring and funding, so perhaps the band have hit some snags in getting new material my way (I hope not). But, they passed me this great new jam, which is part of the excellent February Records 5th Anniversary Compilation.  You want an indiepop gem? You don’t have to go far, this time with the band slowing things down with chugging guitar chords and a deeper tonal quality; it’s the sort of track that makes all your friends swoon when you put it on their latest mixtape.  Hope so hard these guys keep it going and bring us more new tunes.

ATX Spotlight: Town Hall Devils to Release EP (+ SHOW)

Leave a comment

townhalldevils-EPreleaseshowOne thing that’s great to see is that a majority of the people working behind the scenes in venues here in Austin are also a big part of that scene, all rocking out in their own bands.  This is the case with Tyson Swindell, who helps run the always kind Red 7, but let’s turn our focus to his band Town Hall Devils. The band have just readied their new Ouroboros Blues EP, and it’s definitely something to sink your teeth into.  It reminds me at times of a heavier-handed Lucero, but sounds similar to our other local favorites like A. Sinclair, just playing good old fashioned rock n’ roll.  You’ll be able to catch them live for their album release over at The Blackheart tomorrow night; the whiskey and the tunes will keep you warm, I promise. Stream the EP below.

Hear Another American Wrestlers Tune

Leave a comment

awFeels like the new American Wrestlers album should be out already, right?  They had a bunch of great buzz built at the end of last year/beginning of 2015…then things went silent for a wee bit, until you hear this new single. It’s a tune build upon the backbone of a solid piano, holding space for the coated vocals to dance across the top whilst an electronic beat holds things in place.  There’s fine touches like a soloing guitar that add some differentiation in the middle of the tune, just so you don’t get weary and ensuring the track is a success. The band’s self-titled album will be out on April 7th via Fat Possum Records.

Rock This Upbeat Lazeyes Tune (SXSW Artist)

Leave a comment

blazyeyesYou needed something in the middle of the week to pick you up, right? Why not try on this angular new post-rock from Lazyeyes! It’s got these knifing guitar parts that cut back and forth through the song, almost creating a dancing euphoria, though the track’s pacing and vocals throw that a bit off-kilter. It’s filled with a hook, but it’s brevity makes it perfect in that you never grow bored, pressing play over and over again…just like this asshole. This is a brand new track, but if you like what you hear, then grab the band’s New Year EP…and see them at SXSW if you’re here with us.

Holly Miranda Has It All

Leave a comment

hollyInstead of going on about how Holly Miranda is a female songwriter with looks and songs, let’s just enjoy listening to this great new single of hers.  I love the nonchalance in her lyrical display here, not to mention the coated fragility that seems to seep through.  And, instead of just giving us a singer-songwriter touch, she adds some atmospheric flourishes behind it all, strengthening the heart of the track; it puts her in a league where few other live…female or not.  Look for her self-titled LP to hit on May 19th via Dangerbird Records.

Jimmy Whispers Still Uses a Casio

Leave a comment

jimHmmm.  Did Jimmy Whispers really bust out that old school Casio to serve as his background for his latest single?  Yeah, he did…and honestly, after my initial WTF moment, I’m definitely intrigued.  It’s his really his vocals that have won me over with his last few singles, so since those shine here, it’s still got me hooked.  I think some might be dissuaded by the song’s simplicity, but there’s something special in the oddity and audacity to just throw this track out.  Look for Summer In Pain, his new record, to hit stores on March 24th.

Digging This New Van Dale Jammer

Leave a comment

vandWhen you press play on the tune below, you’re going to think it’s your run-of-the-mill indie rocker; it’s got a decent pace, but it’s mostly relaxed college rock (not that that’s bad by any means).  Still, you’ve got to hold on as Van Dale unleashes some crunchy guitar that brings a boisterous bit of noise to the typical affair.  It takes on a tone of what I always dreamed and hoped Weezer would become…they didn’t…so we’ve got these guys to bring it instead.  On March 31st, the trio will release their self-titled album via Fleeting Youth Records.
