Destroyer Drops New Video

Leave a comment

I don’t know what it is, but even when Dan Bejar seems to go out of his comfort zone, he’s able to execute as Destroyer. For instance, his new track definitely has an early 80s pulse to it, heavy on the synths and sterile percussion. Somehow, Bejar’s unique croon is able to slide carefully in between the grooves, delivering contemplative lines that reverberate as the synths echo in the background. In the video, there’s some great imagery captured in the stills that fill it. Look for his new album, ken, to hit on October 20th via Merge.

Don’t Sleep on This Mu Tune

Leave a comment

Canadian due Mu garnered a lot of early praise for their II EP, but they’ve been rather quiet since that time, until this week when they dropped a new single. The song seems simple in structure, letting vocals gently float on top of guitar strumming at the start, then adding a layer of looped beats beneath. Beats and layered textures provide you escapism until the tune’s end. There’s also an accompanying video for this new single that you can find HERE. Don’t miss this tune; it’s a gem for sure.

Spinning Coin Announce Debut Album

Leave a comment

We’d likely have posted about Spinning Coin again, as they’ve just announced their debut album. But, for me, the importance revolves around Edwyn Collins of Orange Juice doing the production work for the band in the studio (makes my day). The video encapsulates a casual experience, but the song seems to pull from our favorite parts…all from different directions. The vocals occasionally reach for the skies, tonally, a la Real Estate‘s early work. Guitars have a definite jangling affinity for all things Oceanic (both modern and past renditions). Plus, there’s this steady bounce that should please any pop fan. All these combined in one track make the odds of Permo being a success rather high; look for the LP on Geographic Music on November 10th.

Anthony Anzaldo from Ceremony Goes Solo

Leave a comment

If you listen closely, you can hear remnants of Ceremony in the opening seconds of Anthony Anzaldo‘s new single from his solo effort. But, you’ll be surprised that there’s a huge polish of pop atop the mix, carefully covering some of that post-hardcore vibe, whilst still remaining true to himself. I think the best part of his performance comes via the chorus in which his voice soars to let out “we all die alone.” He’ll be releasing his eponymous solo debut later this year, but for now you can grab this track in a limited quantity from his label First Letter Press.

New Electronic Doom from Odonis Odonis

Leave a comment

Sometimes when you strip down to the most minimal bits of your work, you come out with the best product. This might just be the case for Odonis Odonis, who are reported to have stripped down the instrumentation on their latest effort to synthesizers and electronic drums. I love how these guys make music that sounds like impending doom, but almost makes you beg for it; it sounds beautiful. There’s a moment on the latter half of the tune where they build the tension with tons of negative space, only to drop the vocals and beat back in one more time. Felte will be releasing the No Pop on October 20th.

New Video from Fresh and Onlys

Leave a comment

Tomorrow is the day we’ll all get to hear Wolf Lie Down in its entirety, but before the release, Fresh and Onlys have given us one last video/track to steer us in the right direction. There’s a Dali-esque quality to the video, with shapes bending and dripping…not to mention splicing it with creative band shots. On the track, it’s a long burner, filled with some really great guitar playing atop the steady drum pace. I really like the production on all the songs we’ve heard, which is probably while I’ll be picking up the new record tomorrow from Sinderlyn.

I Missed This Mammoth Penguins Tune

Leave a comment

You undoubtedly are aware of my Emma Kupa fandom. It seems like this is her year…she’s already released a great Hayman Kupa Band LP, she’s playing with Suggested Friends and in the last two weeks her band Mammoth Penguins have announced their newest album, John Doe. The angular chords chopping from the get-go kick off this new tune, allowing Kupa to rock a stellar vocal performance as the rest of the group fill the track with percussion. There’s almost a shuffling boogie from the chorus, keeping listeners hooked with that sugary pop vibe. Look for the new album on October 13th via WIAIWYA.

Cool Swagger from QTY

Leave a comment

I wrote about QTY awhile back, and they just dropped a video for their latest single (which is slated to fit into their forthcoming album). Admittedly, the band rock a really simple rock n’ roll formula, but they carry it with such an effortless cool that it’s hard not to be captivated by their sound. You’re going to find yourself singing along in no time, hooked on the infectious quality lurking beneath the surface…I particularly enjoy the dual vocals that ride out the last minute of the tune. Look for the song on a 7″ from Dirty Hit, or wait for the soon to come LP.

King Krule Releases New Single

Leave a comment

There’s something about King Krule aka Archy Marshall that makes his music intriguing. He’s able to wrap his mind around all sorts of genres, then incorporate them into his music. He’s written great rock n’ roll hits like “Easy Easy,” not to mention his production work with various hip-hop artists. Here, on his new single we have him offering up a slow croon of contemplation, accompanied by a Frank Lebon video. I love the stripped down vibe here, almost like a spoken-word poem written for listeners. With the new single comes a tour announcement, sadly without an Austin date.
