New Music from Only Real

Leave a comment

onlySeems to me that the Brits are on to something with their vocal affectation cooly creeping over excellent guitar work.  First we had King Krule, and now we’ve got another ginger, Niall Gavin, who works under the name Only Real.  He’s celebrating his recent signing to Harvest Records by releasing this new single, featuring some atmospherics touches washing over his wobbly pop guitar lines.  At times his delivery approaches a bit of a spoke-word rap, but it fits well into the confines of this track.  Give it a whirl and see what all the folks overseas are raving about.

Friday Jam from The Donkeys

Leave a comment

donkeyI’m feeling sort of lie today’s going to be one of those days where I’ll end up sitting in my backyard with some whiskey and letting great jams take me into the weekend.  I’m positive that as I set up a playlist for the night, this new track from the Donkeys is going to make that list.  It’s a relaxed tune for sure, but I love the way the guitars have this soulful meandering that matches perfectly with the calming vocal delivery.  The Cali group is readying a new LP, Ride the Black Wave, which will be followed up by an extensive US tour in the summer.  You’ll be able to give it a listen via Easy Sound on June 3rd.

Creative Number from Dub Thompson

Leave a comment

dubThis brand new track from Dub Thompson really leaves the door wide open for what the duo will bring to the table when they release their new album, 9 Songs.  From the get go, it casually plods along, albeit for just a few seconds.  You’re then met with this pulsating rhythm that resembles a live hip-hop beat, just before it blasts off into a realm of pop oddities.  Then they close it down with a combination of noise and kitschy keyboard play that would fit in on the Napoleon Dynamite Soundtrack.  Yet somehow it all fits together nicely, making me super curious for what they’ll bring to the table on June 10th when the record comes out via Dead Oceans. You’ll also find a video for the single HERE.

What’s Your Rupture to Release Any Other City

Leave a comment

anyotherIn 2001 Life Without Buildings released Any Other City, and despite the limited available copies for the Glaswegian band, they quickly and quietly reached cult status.  But, like many things, they faded into our memories. That was until yesterday, when the excellent label What’s Your Rupture announced that they’d be re-releasing the heralded record as a special Record Store Day release, on April 19th in case you’re not on the up-and-up.  Just give yourself a little listen to the tune below; you’ll surely realize just why so many people hold this record so dear.

Dark Entries Re-Issue Ski Patrol

Leave a comment

skiDark Entries is probably one of the most exciting record labels around, though they deal largely in reissues.  But, those releases always unearth incredible bands I’ve only heard mentioned in whispers of the past.  Their latest release will be an anthology from the UK’s Ski Patrol.  You’ll hear an  post-punk feel that was popularized by bands like Gang of Four, but there’s also a few songs on this release that show how far the group pushed things, incorporating the Jamaican influences of Britain at the time they were working (1979-82).  You can pick up Versions of a Life on April 15th, but for now listen to their hit “Agent Orange”

New Dark Wave from Moses Gold

Leave a comment

phillThose of you paying attention to the electronic scene might recognize Moses Gold, at least when you hear it’s the project of Phill Young; he’s one of the men behind Christian AIDS/Stay +.  He’s going it on his own these days, and he’s crafted this wonderfully dark bit of electronic pop music, featuring a vocal that’s both beautiful and haunting.  I don’t want to say that it wholly resembles Majical Cloudz, but it has the same sort of emotional effect, using electronics as a background from which Young can paint his songs. You can pick up his limited 12″ vinyl now from Bleeding Gold.

Low Key Pop from Firestations

Leave a comment

watlsLondon’s Firestations are quietly building steam overseas; I can tell why after listening to this number.  The song opens with this quiet piece of pop via a male voice, but then it moves forward with a nice little duet that completely changes the feeling of the song.  It’s darkness evaporates, allowing for an emotional light to push its way inside. I love how the track closes on a brighter note after returning to the solitude of the lone male singer, briefly.  No word on when they’ll have an album out, but it should come soon via Waltz Time Records.

More Tunes from School of Language

Leave a comment

davidIt’s interesting to hear the musical progression of School of Language since David Brewis first stepped out from behind Field Music so many years ago.  What seemed like a B-Side Project has evolved into something that has a soul all its own, while still harnessing the sound Brewis has come to embody.  There’s still elements of that jagged guitar playing, yet you’ll likely find a lighter feel to it all, providing an almost rhythmic dance propulsion.  His new album, Old Fears, will be out on April 8th via Memphis Industries.

Darren Hayman Joins Up with Emma Kupa

Leave a comment

darrenI love a good joint venture between artists, especially when it’s two people who create music that I absolutely adore.  You take the lead man of Hefner, toss him in with the always enchanting Emma Kupa of Standard Fare fame, and you’re sure to have hits, right? Yes, that’s right.  I love how Darren‘s voice is perfectly complimented by Emma’s on this tune; they seem like the perfect fit, to me anyways.  They’ve released this tune as a 7″ on Fortuna Pop, and it is also accompanied by this great video so you can get to know our songwriters and their string game skills.  Hope you dig this track as much as I do.

Beautifully Subdued Track from Prince of Assyria

Leave a comment

princeAs we here at ATH aim to recover from extensive debauchery, I figured I’d offer you this mellow tune to help us all ease back into our daily lives.  This tune comes to you from Prince of Assyria, who has been quietly making waves in Sweden.  On this track, there’s a light guitar strum, accompanied by a faint violin accent and female vocals.  You’ll be able to hear more tracks of this sort from the artist on April 11th when he releases Changing Places, his second album, on Soliti Music.  Seems like a perfectly way to start out what will surely be a dragging Monday morning.
