Enjoy This New Dusted Tune

Leave a comment

While Brian Borcherdt is probably best known as part of Holy Fuck, I’m really excited for the release of his new side project, Dusted. This song had me from the get-go, utilizing a steady percussive stomp, almost a march to keep the pace. Guitars ring out in the thick of the mix with little flourishes of keys and what nots rounding out the tune. Seemingly simple, its brevity keeps you from finding yourself bored…and interestingly, the tune closes with the same lyrical line “there’s no ledge to coax you from.” Blackout Summer is the new LP, dropping April 6th via Polyvinyl.

Brand New Track from The BVs

Leave a comment

The BVs won me over last year with the release of Speaking From a Distance, and they’re readying their brand new EP, Interpunktion for release next week! Today, the band are sharing the EP’s statement piece, an almost 9 minute opus of wonderful guitar work. You get the impression that you’re in a scene driving through an unnamed countryside, only the car’s going slowly, letting you soak up every last chord the band delivers. Chords twinkle, hint at jangling, but have this spirited calm that completely captivates listeners. But, don’t fret BVs fans, as several of the tracks on the EP still feature lyrical content, but you’ll have to grab it from the band’s label, Kleine Untergrund Schallplatten to pick it up on February 9th.

Premiere: Panda Riot Release Video for Night Animation

Leave a comment

Chicago’s Panda Riot have a pretty heavy sound, but while the song’s construction seems filled to the brim, the pristine vocals knife their way, giving off a softened vibe that gives the song a shimmering quality. At times the electronics pulse and throb, highlighting the internal hooks; they also hit hard in unison with the ringing of the guitars, creating a wall of magic noise. The video, which was shot by Jeffrey Nesker seemingly rides the same vibe of the song, but instead of the heady electronics versus pop, you’ve got images of day versus night…a fitting touch that doesn’t go unnoticed. The group will release their new album Infinity Maps on February 14th, just in time for you to share it with your loved one.

A Place to Bury Strangers Return

Leave a comment

I’ve always been a casual fan of A Place to Bury Strangers; I’ve loved some singles, but never felt truly convinced by the fan. That might change if their new single is any indicator of what’s in store on the group’s fifth album, Pinned. They’ve always had a nod to industrial vibes in their craft, but this round, that comes out in a more ominous way; it’s almost like the group are gasping for their last breath as the central guitar groove drives home the minimalistic percussive element. It’s a striking number, surprising in the limited instrumentation…a sign that this new LP could be something special; look for its release on April 13th via Dead Oceans.

 

Have at Another Olden Yolk Tune

Leave a comment

The majority of early press for Olden Yolk probably relies around Shane Butler’s role in Quilt; that’s all well and good, seeing as it’s a good starting point. But, on the band’s latest single, it looks as if Caity Shaffer will get accolades…deservedly so. For the first half of the track, we get a sort of warped pop number, ringing guitars uplifting Shaffer’s voice all the way to the swell of the chorus. What struck me as the finest moment actually comes in at the 1:47 mark, completely changing the time and beat of the track…similar to what my faves Deep Time have done. It’s fleeting, but it’s an interesting touch that elevates the tune in some fashion. The group are set to release their self-titled album on Trouble In Mind on February 23rd.

Premiere Low Valley Hearts Release Garden of Something

Leave a comment

On February 16th, Low Valley Hearts will release their new album Piece of Your Mind, an album seemingly set to invade your psyche, subversively implanting the band’s music in your brain for extended periods of time. Today, we have the band’s hypnotic new single, “Garden of Something,” offering the band’s futuristic pop music, swelling from start to finish with a huge wash of dreamy melody curated by a very minimal musical approach. I love how the synth waves seem to wrap the guitar and harmonious gang vocals in a blanket of spaced-out atmospheric bliss. Then again, maybe this song is just about the joy of gardening and flowers…you be the judge.

Ultimate Painting Announce New Album

Leave a comment

Ever since Ultimate Painting first came onto our radar, we’ve pretty much wholeheartedly supported the band and their music endeavors. Today comes news that the group have a brand new LP ready for the world, along with a brand new single. Honestly, this might be one of my favorite tracks from the band to date, especially as they take the casual pop stylings and then slow them down even just at the 2:15 mark on the number, letting the song drift off into the world. Ever charming, UP will drop on April 6th via Bella Union. You’ve been warned.

Jamming This Durand Jones

Leave a comment

A friend, knowing my affinity for old school soul and R&B, sent me this new Durand Jones tune from his forthcoming self-titled LP with his band the Indications. It’ll only take a few seconds for you to realize the pipes on Jones mean business; think Leon Bridges but with more range. But, while the voice is a powerful instrument, the musicianship has to be present in order to really knock it out of the park; you won’t need to look much further than the first few minutes to see how solid the rhythm section is with these guys. Durand Jones & the Indications will be released by Dead Oceans/Colemine Records on March 16th, with pre-orders offering up a bonus 7″.

Wooing Release In Colour Video

Leave a comment

Wooing is the relatively recent project of Rachel Trachtenberg, who many of you might recognize for her role as the drummer in the Trachtenberg Family Slideshow Players. She’s move one, grown up and begun a project with several friends. Today, we’re here with the band’s “In Colour” video, which provides a wonderful glimpse at the music the group is concocting. The first 1.5 minutes here are intimate, softened vocals and carefully picked chords; it’s the perfect set-up for what is soon to follow. Sampled vocals and rolling drums enter the picture, changing the sonic landscape into one of experimental pop music that excites through to the end. The trio have just released their Daydream Time Machine EP via Ba Da Bing!
