Another Tune from Michael Nau

Leave a comment

Erika_12JKT EPS_r4The latest single from the forthcoming Michael Nau LP is reminding me how much the power of a voice can truly carry a song. From the opening moments, it’s Nau soaring in the front of the mix, while barely audible metronome percussion keeps the pace. He’s thrown in some extra notes via samples and orchestration to fully fill out the sound on this one, but ultimately, you can’t pull yourself away from his voice. His brand new album, Mowing, is set for a February 19th release from Suicide Squeeze Records…continuing a good run of form for the label.

Pummeling Punk from Audacity

Leave a comment

audcityThe first 30 seconds of this new song from Audacity has the band sounding like their most dangerous, furiously pushing the pace with pounding drums and rambunctious attitude via the guitar. Still, while this might be the heaviest I’ve heard from Audacity, the chorus offers some of their pop sensibility setting up for some great all out guitar jamming until the song’s conclusion. This is our first taste of Hyper Vessels, their newest album (recorded with some Ty Segall character); it’ll be released by Suicide Squeeze Records on April 1st…or will it?

The Coathangers Are Back w/ a New Album

Leave a comment

CoathangersIn case you haven’t noticed for the last several years, I’m a pretty huge fanboy when it comes to Coathangers. So, I’m ecstatic that there’s brand new Coathangers music for me to consume and fawn all over (though they did just do a split). But, here you have Stephanie (or Rusty Coathanger) offering up her scratchy growl, in the most intoxicating fashion. Since the girls have stripped down to a three-piece, they’re songs have become so incredibly tight as a unit, that it’s hard not to just fall for each piece they write. Their new effort is titled Nosebleed Weekend, and it’s out on April 15th via Suicide Squeeze Records.

Violent Human System Signs w/ Suicide Squueze

Leave a comment

vhsSuicide Squeeze is one of my favorite labels, always releasing tunes that hit home. They’ve just announced that they’ll be working with Violent Human System for their debut album, though they’ll offer up a 7″ teaser that includes this song. It’s definitely a post-punk approach, almost in line with some of the work done by Hot Snakes, though the vocals seem to take on more of that post hardcore emo tone as the guitars knife their way through. The 7″ comes out next week, with the full length to follow later on in the year. West Coasters can catch them touring all through February.

More Quiet-ude from Michael Nau

Leave a comment

Erika_12JKT EPS_r4It’s about time you delve into the work of Michael Nau, the man behind Cotton Jones, as he prepares you for his new solo outing. As you’ll see on this track, there’s a very careful entry into the track via gently picked strings. Then Nau jumps in with his voice, offering up a softened vocal that’s quite enchanting. For those that weren’t familiar with him before, songs like this one should prepare you to get lost in the forthcoming listen of Mowing, his album for Suicide Squeeze that hits stores on February 19th.

New Music from Michael Nau

Leave a comment

Erika_12JKT EPS_r4Just because Cotton Jones haven’t released anything in a few years, it hasn’t slowed down the writing process for Michael Nau. He’s just announced that he’ll be releasing his new album, Mowing, under his own name, though all indications point to the help from his Cotton Jones crew. His approach on this first single seems to be one of really relaxed folk-influenced indie rock. There’s a slight swing in the guitar chords, almost implying a soulful feel to the track, met by his soothing vocals. Maybe this is the slow jam of the year. Look for his new record via Suicide Squeeze Records on February 19th.

Fresh Coathangers Jam

Leave a comment

CoathangersWhat? A new jam from the Coathangers hits and you think I won’t post it? Well, you’re wrong. This new single comes as the opposite side of the band’s split with Black Lips, which we ran a bit ago. It’s definitely on par with some of the better songs the group has written of late; it’s got a pounding rhythm section, sliding guitar squalls and a bratty attitude that lets you know these ladies aren’t messing around. That new 7″ Split is going to come out on November 13th courtesy of the good folks over at Suicide Squeeze. They’ve also got an ATX date (as well as others) lined up for October, so keep a look out.

Black Lips Give Us a Ditty

Leave a comment

blacklipsI’ve always enjoyed the Black Lips, but I have to admit, sometimes their ramshackle approach can make a full length listen difficult. Surely this new track exemplifies the band’s knack for wrapping their sound around warm melodies; it’s almost just a jangling folk pop tune…and that’s definitely fine by me. Perhaps it’s unexpected in the long run of their musical approach, but looking forward it might offer a glimpse at where the band is going. We get to hear this number on a new 7″ with my favorite ladies, The Coathangers, when they release a double-sided split on November 13th via Suicide Squeeze Records.

Childbirth Go Sinister For Their Second Single

Leave a comment

1903008_689358711103923_95482703_nWhen I shared this first single with you from Childbirth, I dug it, don’t get me wrong, but I was slightly apprehensive as to how this punk/ ultra lo-fi sound would transmit to other styles of songs. With this new track, “Let’s Be Bad” these ladies have completely erased the doubts from my mind. This song is a creeping, twisted, sinister sounding punk track that slowly evolves into a raging fireball of rock as the lyrics ironically urge us to do seemingly ‘bad’ things… like splitting dessert and ordering white wine . Now I’m properly excited for the release of Women’s Rights out on Suicide Squeeze Records on October 2nd.

Ultra Lo-Fi/ Punk From Childbirth

Leave a comment

nastygrrlsIf you’re looking for pretty and clean girl pop then you’ve come to the wrong post. Childbirth is a supergroup comprised of members from Chastity Belt, Tacocat and Pony Time and word on the street is that they’re coming back with their sophomore record, Women’s Rights which is due October 2nd on Suicide Squeeze Records. This single from that record is called “Nasty Grrls,” and features perfectly imperfect punk vocals that chime in and out of the mix enumerating the rough edges and habits of these nasty gurlz while the guitars are fuzzy and lo-fi. The whole track will lodge itself into your brain for hours if you’re not careful, but maybe that’s a good thing. Get nasty with these ladies.
