We covered a fair amount of ground last week, though perhaps not quite as much rolling out as the previous week of tunes. We did get a new Jad Fair/Samuel Locke Ward video premiere that can only be seen HERE. That being said, there were tons of other tunes we can run up our playlist flagpole, like the news tune from Sharp Pins, as part of Kai’s reissue of Radio DDR. Dean Wareham dropped another single from his new record, so that’s good news for all of us. Plus, the end of the week hit hard, with great new ditties from Exploding Flowers and Mythical Motors to round out a solid week of tunes. Stream them below.

Tag Dag Shares Flyover State Single

February 5, 2025 nathan.lankford Leave a comment

There’s a new project coming out of Melbourne that I just couldn’t wait to share with you: Tag Dag. While the tune below is filled with ripping guitar licks and feedback, the project is mostly offered up as a bedroom recording, so you can hear a certain level of sincerity coursing through its center. The vocals, for their part, carry that weight, taking on a subtle softness that perhaps reveals a softened melodic push that Tag Dag want to bring to their sound. It’s a nice little balance, with walls of noise heavily dancing around that beautiful core. Plus, there’s some added “whoa, whoas,” and that never hurts anyone.
