Jalen Ngonda Announces Doctrine of Love

Leave a comment

If you ever come to our DJ sets, you’ll find that there’s a deep love of blues and soul, and there’s a new artist on the scene that I only recently caught onto: Jalen Ngonda. Today he’s announced his sophomore album, Doctrine of Love, and shared the title track from the LP. It’s a classic R&B vibe, working with these swinging melodies, letting his voice soar through the entirety of the track. His vocals are reminiscent of the stuff we heard from early Leon Bridges, but, like many of the traditional tunes, you can almost feel pain in his voice. Daptone will be dropping Doctrine of Love on May 31st.

Trash Man Share Cool Until It’s Not

Leave a comment

Tony Molina better watch his back, as Trash Man are sliding into that 1 minute power-pop territory; I think there’s both as long as they keep cranking out infectious earworms for us all. “Cool Until It’s Not” jumps right in with a grinding guitar swells, met my Alex Majaverian’s voice. Those vocals seem to climb the stairs along the way, tip-toeing along the melody as the song rises to meet your ears. The fade out into the refrain of “cool until it’s not” is met with some swollen keys too, buoying the hook and making sure you come back for more. This is the title track to the new Cool Until It’s Not LP, which is out this Friday via YK Records.

The Wesleys Share Explosive Device Single

Leave a comment

In what seems like a continuous cycle of bad-assery, Meritorio Records has another great release on their line-up for the end of 202: The Wesleys Explosive Device EP. The first single from the release had a driving rhythm to it, but this go round, they’ve opened the song up a bit, letting the guitars kind of shimmer in the background, creating this psychedelic sway that moves the song; there’s something in that reminds me of a slightly more upbeat Clientele. Twisting their sound leaves listeners on notice that you’re going to get your moneys worth when you pick up the EP, with a little bit of energy and a little bit of pop, so be sure to grab a copy from Meritorio Records before the Novemeber 7th release.

Juppe Announces Fun! And How to Have It

Leave a comment

If you are in the mood for opening your day with some retro-infused pop, might we reintroduce you to Finnish artist Juppe, who just announced a brand new record today. Stylistically, you might find some similarities to acts like Tunde Adebimpe or Blood Orange, playing a brand of pop that’s rooted in deep house grooves and remnants of classic soul. There’s little nuanced guitars and samples that lift the track beyond the basics and turns it into this huge groovy tune that you’re going to want to drop right into your weekend playlist. Fun! And How to Have It is out September 19th via Soliti.

Another Far Caspian Tune

Leave a comment

The forthcoming Lp from Far Caspian is one to keep an eye upon, as Joel Johnston’s project is certainly one that’s blossoming before our eyes; you can just tell by all the attention around the new LP just how high expectations are for Autofiction. This latest single has a great guitar line that is also the focus of the video below; it’s a pretty choppy note, giving some natural rhythm to the tune itself, which is meaningful, as there isn’t a true percussive note (aside from the nearly silent metronomic beat that slides in midway). Instead, another guitar begins to twist behind the heavier strum, layering the tune with it’s light-hearted melody, soon to be joined by the dual vocals that overlap in wintry blanket of harmony. It’s a song about texture and detail, which is what makes all Johnston’s work so mesmerizing. Autofiction hits on July 25th.

Kilynn Lunsford Releases Promiscuous Genes

Leave a comment

When we reflect upon music as a commodity, we forget that our favorite acts were first and foremost artists, creators; they didn’t aim for algorithms or sponsorships, but rather lived, breathed and died for art. If you find yourself searching for such projects, might we suggest the latest from Kilynn Lunsford, who feels a bit like the demon spawn of Yoko Ono and Kim Gordon. On the latest single, your first greeting is this trudging stomp through some unknown hallway whilst echoes from spirits bounce across the horizon. As you push on, the song evolves into this anti-club banger, working on a heavy beat as Lunsford spouts free verse lines at the listener. Eventually, the song falls into madness, echoes abundant and everything seems like the world is falling apart beneath you. You won’t find a listen quite like this. Her new album, Promiscuous Genes, is out on May 16th via Feel It Records.

Labrador Share My Version of Desire Title Track

Leave a comment

Today appears to be a day for title tracks coming out, so stay tuned for another just around the corner. But, at the moment, let’s enjoy this great new Labrador belter. It’s a sway-with-a-partner bit of balladry, with Pat King’s vocals dominating the mix while a light strum on the old gee-tar builds the backdrop. While the opening feels a little light, they slowly build in some rhythmic elements, first with a shaker then adding in thumps of drums to build up that texture. It creates this swell of big feelings, and it’ll have you reaching for a friend to just hold on tight as you watch the world burn. My Version of Desire is officially out on May 30th via Safe Suburban Home.

Teethe Announce Magic of the Sale

Leave a comment

Been a minute since we heard new music from Texas outfit Teethe, but today there is great news, with the band announcing their next LP, Magic of the Sale, along with the release of the title track. This tune operates with a downtrodden pace, which often gives the band a nod towards slowcore. But, there’s this slight jangle and build from the guitars, creating this delicious melodic center that quietly explodes once you cross the two minute mark. There are these moments when you think the track can just burst, yet the restraint to lock into the groove and let the song just billow on its own makes it the perfect feel. Magic of the Sale will be out this August via Winspear.

The Fleok Share Pennies Video

Leave a comment

After spinning my weekend over at Psych Fest, I got to wake up to this brand new track from the Fleok, which, subtly draws from the genre, albeit in a sort of psych adjacent delivery. Upon first listen, you’ll notice a spoken word delivery bringing you into the depths of the song, which immediately made me think of Lift to Experience; it’s a slow build, but it sets up perfectly for the latter half of the track. When the whole song just comes crashing down in this beautiful combination of pop that is likely to make your heart swoon, banging out this climbing piano line and soulful howl.

Asha Wells Releases Title Track from The Lesson EP

Leave a comment

Let’s slow things down a bit this morning, take a minute to breathe and bask in the glow of Asha Wells‘ new single. Musically, it’s a pretty minimal piece, working atop a simple electronic beat throughout the verses, building with a little more light instrumentation as the chorus opens up. What that means is that Asha has to carry the song on the wings of her voice alone, letting heavier tones soak up the entirety of the negative space; the chorus gets a little bit of an aid from Stephen Steinbrink adding a little backing accent to the party. Look for the Lesson EP to his on May 30th via Anxiety Blanket Records.
