Sit Back and Enjoy The Crookes

One comment

avatars-000069037526-aoum01-t500x500I’ve mentioned UK band The Crookes several times before on our website and the band has always been hovering a bit in that not huge yet should be area.  Today I think the band may be breaking out with this new single “The World is Waiting”.  This is truly a brit pop gem here with some incredible, driving guitars and this overall sense of urgency permeating through.  I’m seeing a lot to be enjoyed here.

The Crookes will drop Lucky Ones via Modern Outsider on January 29th.

Another Hit From Pleasure Beach

Leave a comment

Screen-Shot-2015-04-22-at-7.06.13-PMBack in April we heard this great new track called “Go” from Belfast group Pleasure Beach and the entire ATH crew became fans instantly.  Today we’ll see the versatility of this group with a brand new, and completely different, song entitled “Hayley”.  This one isn’t exactly the upbeat and catchy tune we heard in the spring, it’s more of a slow burning, crooner beauty.  For me, this is showing a band who might really have some staying power.  Continue.

Pleasure Beach will drop their debut EP on October 30th.

Brand New Single From Blaenavon

Leave a comment

10514738_720240444695657_404149877485594319_nI’d be a terrible person if I didn’t share this new song with you called “Destiny’s Mild” from up and coming U.K. band Blaenavon.  The sound is a mixture of angst ridden Twilight sad and some of the more upbeat and pop sounds of Foals.  I’d think with two big name drops like that, you’re already hitting play and enjoying.

The Miss World EP will come out on October 30th via Trangressive Records.

Electro Jam From Sykoya

Leave a comment

12038325_1103412179682543_134919415656685836_nMan it seems like this time of year is super slow with quality new music so I tend to get overly excited when something interesting comes my way.  My exciting find for today comes from a brand new group out of the UK called Sykoya.  The track we have to share with you today is entitled “Closer” and features some enticing, darker, electronic style pop themes.  Think a band like Phantogram mixed with say Chelsea Wolfe or even Beach House.  Some bold names thrown out there I know, but after a few listens, I’m sure you’ll see what I mean.

These up and comers will drop Here during the early part of 2016.

Chilled Out Vibes from Younghusband

Leave a comment

younghusbandThe guys in Younghusband are quickly building a name for themselves at they prep for their second LP, touring with the likes of Loop, Slowdive and Jacco Gardner. Musically, they’re crafting tunes that are probably closely aligned with the newer brand of psychedelia, though listening to this track it seems like more of a pop sensibility feel to it; it’s almost a straightforward pop song written for the indie spectrum.  The title is Dissolver, and its set for an October 30th release date via ATP Records.

More From Flyte

11260570_901374956565298_6847506727576042280_nFlyte is a London based band I think we can all agree is full of fun pop vibes perfect for perking you up out of a funk.  Now Nicole already shared their debut single with you earlier this summer, so I’m riding the coat tails a bit with this sweet new jam “Please Eloise”.  This is a song perfect for a bright and sunny summer time party or a dance fest on your Saturday night.  I’m already dancing in place….

Playful Single from Owl & Mouse

Leave a comment

owlzImmediately, there’s a simplicity to this song from Owl & Mouse.  It’s just a little ukulele backed by a solemn piano chord, soon accompanied by Hannah Botting’s voice. Still, the basic approach wraps itself around your ears, drawing you close into the lyrics, discussing the emotions of saying goodbye.  As the song unfolds there’s some really lush accompaniment filling in the space that lays empty…there’s added strings and really light percussion.  It’s a remarkable start for the group’s debut, Departures, which is being released by Fika Recordings later this year.  Find yourself falling in love with this number today.

Introducing: Rice Milk

Leave a comment

ricemilkI’ve only just caught on to the music being crafted by Rice Milk, and though they’ve got a few releases, they’re just now offering up the short Weird Year EP, I think it’s something that deserves a place in your listening rotation today.  There’s a simplicity at home on the EP, especially on the song that I’ve chosen to share with you.  Still, you’ll find that even in that basic guitar, drum, vocal approach, there’s an intoxicating element to the music; you’ll definitely have to go back and listen over and over again if you know what’s good for you. Good Food has released this on cassette, if you’re into collecting good tunes.

Blast Some Falling Stacks

Leave a comment

stacksonstacksI’m feeling a little antsy and a little angsty, so this new album from Falling Stacks is the perfect place to find myself today.  The UK act seems to draw from all my favorite acts of days gone past, hitting vocal marks a la Dead Kennedys or stuttering discordant guitar licks a la Fugazi.  All that being said, No Wives, is not for the weak of heart; you’ll find a this underlying tension that has you on edge as the group knifes their way through the entire LP.  The album is out now via Battle Worldwide Recordings.

Indiepop Delight from Seabirds

Leave a comment

burdsThis song couldn’t have come at a better time; it’s been a frustrating week with our server being down and lost data and what not.  So, the perfect indiepop song is always going to make life grand, thus one of the many reasons I love this Seabirds tune.  From the excellent guitar work, including the casual solo in the middle of the tune, to the perfect melodic vocal touch, it just makes you feel warm all over, and I won’t complain about that. The band have just finished their debut Meet Me in the Silence, which is slated for a July release via the great people at Matinee Recordings. Make your day better and listen to this song.
