New Song from The Black Tambourines

Leave a comment

10321639_955360484521740_5025471425869622889_oI’ve been keeping my eye on this UK act for some time, as they seemed to have something…that something special.  On this tune,The Black Tambourines still have that vibrant energy I adored when I first tune in to their music, but to a certain degree, they’ve gone in a different direction than I expected.  The guitar work is still pretty strong, and I definitely appreciate the tenacity, yet this track feels safe.  It’s got energy and style, but we’ll have to wait until their new album is completely finished before we hear how this song fits into the fold.  Until then.

As I’m scrolling through the upcoming shows this week, I stumbled across this great bill at Mohawk on Wednesday that I must have forgotten about.  Headlining the loaded bill is longtime ATH favorite UK rockers The Crookes.  Joining the guys on the bill are fellow ATH favorite Young Buffalo and local artist Stoney.  This should make for a great middle of the week show to start your weekend early.  See you there?

Fresh Music from Bleeding Gold Records

Leave a comment

furrowFeel like I should devote more time today to the work of Bleeding Gold Records, so I’ll post their other song from their announcements this week, too!  This number comes from Furrow, and it’s a little bit grittier, at least in regards to production.  The vocals/lyrics don’t offer much, as they seem more like distant chants, or shouting, but the way the guitar sounds really hooked me on this track.  The group is working on their new release, West Felton, and in the meantime they’ve offered up this great single, which I think a lot of people will really enjoy. Give it a go.

 

New Music from Only Real

Leave a comment

onlySeems to me that the Brits are on to something with their vocal affectation cooly creeping over excellent guitar work.  First we had King Krule, and now we’ve got another ginger, Niall Gavin, who works under the name Only Real.  He’s celebrating his recent signing to Harvest Records by releasing this new single, featuring some atmospherics touches washing over his wobbly pop guitar lines.  At times his delivery approaches a bit of a spoke-word rap, but it fits well into the confines of this track.  Give it a whirl and see what all the folks overseas are raving about.

New Music from Cloud Boat

Leave a comment

cloudboatWhen Cloud Boat released their debut album back in 2013 there was a lot of acclaim for the group on the overseas hype machine, so it’s surprising to see the group return so quickly.  Their new offering  is definitely something to spend some time with today, filled with dense instrumentation and a gentle vocal topping the band’s work.  It’s interesting to me, as I don’t really hear a lot of bands crafting music such as this at the moment; then again, I’ve been on a rock n’ roll kick as of late.  It’s definitely a strong step forward for the UK act, and only time will tell how they continue to grow.

Sweet Indiepop from Model Village

Leave a comment

modelvillageFeel like it’s been a short while since I’ve offered up some truly joyous indiepop tunes, so I figured it best to get back on that boat, albeit for just a post.  Model Village is another UK act with the bouncing rhythm section coated with angelic vocals.  The group just released their newest LP, You Chose These Woes, and it’s been a pleasure absorbing these melodies while staring out my work window into the sun.  If you’re afraid of the female vocal, don’t fret, as they have quite a bit of male participation throughout the record.  Give it a spin.

New Pop Goodness From S A Reyners

Leave a comment

avatars-000059156646-9obahf-t500x500Man I really dig this new track “The Other Way” that just came our way from UK based singer/songwriter S A Reyners.  I’d probably call it quirky throwback pop music with some incredibly catchy guitars and beats throughout.  It’s just a downright fun tune to listen to really.  No word right now on if a new album or anything is in the works, but we’ll certainly let you know as soon as we hear something.

Fun Little Ditty from Life

Leave a comment

lifeI’m always trying to find good songs that don’t get a lot of other coverage, and that’s how I stumbled upon this sweet rocker from Life. This song popped up the other day, and it’s been stuck in my head ever since then, providing equal amounts of hooks and rythmic bounce for your ears.  You’ll be able to find this tune on the band’s most recent 7″, with this song taking up the A side.  You need eregy and fun, then look no further than this UK act to help you on your way.  [soundcloud url=”https://api.soundcloud.com/tracks/116357085″ params=”color=ff6600&auto_play=false&show_artwork=false” width=”100%” height=”166″ iframe=”true” /]

Smooth Pop from Elephant

Leave a comment

elephantThere was a time in my life when ethereal pop was my forte, and occasionally I’ll go back and dabble in it from time to time.  Listening to this new single from Elephant provides me with that perfect opportunity, using this floating bit of song construction to back the powerful vocals of Amelia Rivas.  Given that we’re all coming back to our appreciation of R&B influenced vocals, this UK group fits right into our cyclical musical world.  The single below is from their forthcoming debut, which will see a release in the near future by Memphis Industries.  We’ll keep you posted, but for now you can sit back and absorb this special number.

Enjoy The Black Tambourines

Leave a comment

blacktambourinesNo. This is not the famed Slumberland act, Black Tambourine, rather it’s THE Black Tambourines, a UK act who I first caught wind of via Art Is Hard Records.  The label is releasing the band’s self-titled debut today, and I’m pretty sure it’s a band you won’t be disappointed if you just spend a little time with this track.  It’s a pretty fun track that gets your spirits up, offering ramshackle guitar pop that inevitably sinks under your skin.  Guitars cascade in soloing fashion while the drums bang hard in your ears.  I don’t see why you won’t love these guys.
