New Single from Veronica Falls

Leave a comment

vfVeronica Falls is one of the great stable acts of Slumberland Records; they’ve only improved (immensely) as they’ve matured.  They’ve just recorded a brand new single for their upcoming tour, which unfortunately doesn’t include any dates Stateside…we can always hold out hope. Honestly, this new single is probably the best thing the group has written to date, and that says a lot considering how special I think Waiting for Something to Happen (Feb 2013) truly is. If you need a catchy tune with some bounce then you better spend some quality time with this tune.  Thanks to IPSML for the heads up.

SISU Covers Magnetic Fields

Leave a comment

sisuOkay, so I don’t usually cover covers, or remixes for that matter.  But, I’ll change that up today since I’ve got this SISU tune that’s covering “If You Don’t Cry” by the Magnetic Fields, which happens to be one of my all-time favorite acts.  SISU is the project of Sandra Vu who’s spent time working with Dum Dum Girls and Boredoms, just to name a few. Her most recent LP, Blood Tears, is currently in stores now, and while it’s not filled with covers, there are several tracks that take the same approach as the tune we present to you today.

New Music from TOY

Leave a comment

toyIt’s time we give some love to our British compatriots, and in this case, we’ll go with tossing some love to Toy. The band is preparing to release Join the Dots on December 10th, and in preparation, they’re unleashing a limited single in the UK.  I think the group’s definitely going to turn some ears, as they’ve created some tunes that remind me of a more exploratory version of Fujiya and Miyagi.  This single has the same propulsive beat to it, though they’re less inclined to to just rely upon the rhythm, filling their negative space with nice walls of noise.  It’s just a short bit of vocals, so hold on while you can.

Dreamy Dance Pop from Ejecta

Leave a comment

ejectaEveryone seems to be in New York this week for CMJ, but I’m glad some folks are still working, allowing this gem from Ejecta to make its way into my daily playlist.  It’s a synth-driven pop tune, which is pretty sparse for the most part.  That is until it erupts into this shimmering piece of electronic pop that backs the female vocal soaring calmly from start to finish.  The debut release from this act will be available on November 25th from Driftless Records; it’s titled Dominae, and should be good for late night relaxation sessions.

Groovy New Tune from Boxed In

Leave a comment

boxedinMoshi Moshi Music has been on a role this month, and they’ve got another track that’s perfect for your listening pleasure.  They’ve just put out this new single from London producer, Boxed In, and while he may go as a one-man act, there’s more to his sound on this track.  I love the vibe given off by the bass here, and the propulsive nature of the drums really moves the tune along nicely.  It doesn’t hurt that there’s some guitar work cutting back and forth through the tune.  If you dig what you’re hearing, keep an eye on the label, as I’m sure we’ll get more from the man soon.

Dark Noise Pop from Vaadat Charigim

Leave a comment

vaadatIf you’re a native speaker of English, don’t let that fact that the lyrics here are hard to understand sway you from appreciating an incredible track.  Tel Aviv’s Vaadat Charigim are clearly singing in their own native tongue, but musically they’re crafting something that feels right at home with the musical landscape we all adore.  Guitars work against each other, leaving a brooding darkness, while the lyrics seem to burst and drop from the forefront of the track.  It’s noisy and pretty, which are all things we enjoy here at ATH. They’ll be releasing The World is Well Lost via Burger Records on November 12th.

Screaming Females Rock Again!

Leave a comment

screamingfemalesI know this tune’s been all over the place, but it’s really hard for me to support one of my favorite artists, Screaming Females.  Rock n’ roll’s tiniest bad ass just belts note after note throughout the track, while her band set the landscape for a metal stomper that prepares to rupture your ears.  Personally, I love the way Marissa Paternoster plays with her lyrical delivery, often drawing out notes and syllables.  You can find this metal burner on a new split 7″ the band recently put out with Tenement.  So glad Marissa is feeling better and the band is back at rocking.

Austin Spotlight: Tele Novella

Leave a comment

teleThose of you who’ve been following the local Austin scene surely are aware of the blossoming act, Tele Novella, but if not, now’s the time for you take notice.  The group is pretty sensational, creating some of the best pop music to come out of city, and dare I say, the world as a whole.  There’s a soft spin on the vocals for this track, and the construction of the track allows for inspired listeners to take the most out of every spin.  You’ll find the group  releasing their debut 7″, Don’t Be a Stranger, on November 5th, with some great Texas gigs lined up.  Going to be a nice year (and beyond) for this four-piece.

Fresh Jam from Jeffrey Novak

Leave a comment

jeffI’ve been a fan of Cheap Time for some time, and I’ve really enjoyed the way the hardworking Jeff Novak has stepped out on his own.  There’s some obvious lineage between his main act and his solo act, but I think this new tune really demonstrates his ability to stand out on his own.  The delivery of the vocals on this song are really catchy, offering up a jangling swing.  Plus, there’s a bit of noisier elements that oddly remind me of the layering Neutral Milk Hotel used to employ.  He’s got a new album titled Lemon Kid coming your way on November 19th via Trouble in Mind Records.

R&B Influenced Jam from Pattern Is Movement

One comment

PatternIsMovement-PeterEnglish-72I’m still amazed at what two dudes can accomplish with today’s modern recordings processes, which is why I think I’m really drawn to the latest track from Pattern Is Movement.  The vocal definitely harkens to the alluded R&B touch, especially when you combine that with the modern auto-tune usage, but I just dig the construction of the song itself.  It’s got this smooth vibe to it, and as it unfolds, it offers more little musical bits than one would expect from two people.  You’ll find this tune on the duo’s upcoming 12″ for Hometapes; this is a stop-gap before the band release their new LP in early 2014.
