Diles Que No Me Maten Announce Escrito en Agua

Leave a comment

This Mexico City outfit, Diles que no me maten, has been on our radar for quite some time, we were fortunate to have caught the group and their intoxicating sound at Levitation late last year. That said, it’s hard to tell where their music will go, as it seems more spiritual than musical, immersing listeners in the Spanish poetry and mysticism, with the music playing as the undercurrent. On their newest single, you get a rolling rhythm that provides movement throughout the tune, with the vocals slithering in between the rhythm and the ring of guitar notes on the outskirts of the landscape here. Their new record, Escrito en Agua, is already certainly going to be something you’ll want to spend time with, and I imagine, like their live sets, the music will move and transform beneath you, much as our do the same; the LP drops on June 12th via Moonlight Activities.

Cactus Lee Shares Lone Star Video

Leave a comment

It’s quite strange to those around these parts that Cactus Lee hasn’t quite caught on with the masses, particularly with all the folks who claim to love the history of folk and country…as there’s very few left of the dial doing it this well. I love the workingmen’s rhythm section here, just galloping along in a matter-of-fact manner allowing the steadied strum to settle right alongside. This craft allows for some discourse, both from the lyrics of songwriter Kevin Dehan, but also from the guitar just itching for a bit of boogie in the midst of it all. Plus, who can begrudge any artist who is willing to take on the subject matter of a glorious ice cold Lone Star, as we’ve all been in Dehan’s shoes when he claims “I might have one, I might have ten.” We’re really excited for Lee’s Dream, which is out via Western Vinyl this Friday.

No Peeling Announce EP2

Leave a comment

If you were paying attention to the music world, there’s no way you missed the frantic brand of punk coming out of Nottingham when No Peeling released their first EP last year. They blast out on their latest single, rushing with this jagged brand of rock n’ roll that will likely draw similarities to Snooper, though their brand feels a little deeper here. Their use of electronic bursts create this tension like things are breaking loose, as if the world, or the office, is spinning out of control; it’s a great contrast considering the tune hits out at the mundane office supplies. They whet your appetite just enough, then close things down, meaning you’ll have to keep it on repeat all day…or at least until May 1st when EP2 hits via Feel it Records and Wrong Speed Records.

La Securite Drop Snack City

Leave a comment

We heard this “Snack City” single from La Securite a few weeks ago in a preview, and I’ve been waiting, circling like a hawk waiting to deliver the news to the masses. The growl of the bass on this track propels the tune forward, driving the track right into your brain! They bounce back and forth between sharp vocal spurts and this spoken delivery that feels more like a march in time with the rhythm section. But, no matter what, I can’t get that damned infectious rumble out of my brain, even when the sharpness of the chorus erupts into this angular burst of nervous energy. They’ll be dropping Bingo! in June via Mothland and Bella Union.

Rural France Share Thirty Seven Forever

Leave a comment

When you drop a name like “jangly adventures in the magical mundane, you’re surely going to find a home on ATH over here, and well, that’s exactly why we’re here to talk about the new Rural France track. At first it feels like they’re going to shoot off into this power-pop strain of the jangle, but they hold tight, pulling it into more of a yearning pop tune that really feels like the best song never written in the 70s; the messaging is also a big feel for those of us that never want to grow old. I think they’re little flex of noise in the middle of the tune manages to illustrate their continual growth and willingness to make up their own songwriting rules. Look for Sloths on May 8th via Meritorio Records and Safe Suburban Home.

A Place to Bury Strangers Share New Video

Leave a comment

When I think of A Place to Bury Strangers, I generally have an idea in my mind of what that sounds like, but I love that their latest single twists that expectation into some newer territory, or at least the more pensive brand of the group’s work. You’ll still get this echo of distortion and noise, but it gets pushed to the way back in the mix, not maximized and up front like one would expect. For me, the draw was the thumping groove of the drum and the sort of seance-esque chant of the vocals, creating more of a sonic haunt…perhaps tying into the acquaintance in Macedonia that influenced this song. Look for their new compilation Rare and Deadly, out this Friday via Dedstrange.

Washing Machina Drop The Top Single

Leave a comment

Ya’ll clearly know of my love and adoration for all things Swedish, and this new track from Washing Machina is another tune that has caught my ear. Now, if you’re washing this cinematic version, there’s nearly 3 minutes of story-telling, so if you need to get right to it, fast-forward to about 2:54. Once the track opens, it felt a bit like a slowed version of the brand of indie rock that Stellastarr* was pumping out in the 00s; there’s hints of nostalgic new wave built around an infectious bass groove, with the guitars doing their best to make you throw your heels up in dance. One of my favorite parts though is how the vocals are intertwined, wound around one another in a fashion that creates its own unique sound. If you’re digging it, the group will be putting out Before My Mind Wakes Up this May via Epicuro.

Dabda Share Dear Hope Single

Leave a comment

If you’re looking for musical escapism, might we direct you to the latest single from South Korea’s Dabda, a hint at what’s to come from their forthcoming LP. Much like their process, the song unfolds carefully, using a vast expanse and letting it unfold very slowly; the vocals are quieted, almost like they’re operating in the realm of texture. Then, the track turns, taking on more power and exploding into this bright atmospheric tune that erupts with colorful stretches of cascading guitars raining upon your ears as the video shares the band’s joyous personality. Open yourself up to the musical journey awaiting you!

Boy With Apple Share Come Down

Leave a comment

Swedish band Boy With Apple have a brand new LP on the way this April, and another single should encourage audience to take the proper risk and order the LP. They’re one of the various outfits in the dream pop realm that’s dabbling in the mixture between house music and dream pop, with the beat work taking a dominant role in the structure of this song. It kind of feels like if Portishead were pushing to make a more pop-present vibe, though you can certainly hear where the lineage to indiepop and bedroom pop sink into the mixture, particularly with the way the vocals embrace the ethereal haunting of the tune. Their new album, Navigation, is slated for release on April 24th via Welfare Sounds and Records.

King Tuff Drops Stairway to Nowhere Video

Leave a comment

Sometimes going back to your roots is the simplest way to finding your footing, and it seems like that’s paying off in heaps for King Tuff. In prepping Moo, he’s returned to classic garage rock vibes with hooks built right into tune, taking us all the way back to his earliest power-pop hits! His latest single benefits from that tradition, not to mention that it features my favorite cryptid, bigfoot (though this looks more like ET in a bigfoot costume), who seems to have also found his calling as he shreds on his own terms. Moo is out on Friday via Mup Records/Thirty Tigers, and its sounding like a classic already!
