Pleased to Meet You: Slow Dancer (SXSW Artist)

Leave a comment

I feel like I’ve got a pretty good grasp of what’s going on in the Aussie music scene, but I haven’t heard of the slow jam stylings of Slow Dancer until today. The pop crooner is so new in fact, that he hasn’t quite made it to the States, though that will surely change after announcing he’s signed with ATO Records and has agreed to play at SXSW. His new video displays an understated groove to it, allowing plenty of room for his rhythmic voice to take on the focus. Shout out to one of the female stars in the video for her “Don’t Mess With Texas” t-shirt! Look for a new album from the project come Spring.

New Video from JE Sunde

Leave a comment

I first encountered J.E. Sunde through his previous outfit, the Daredevil Christopher Wright, but he looks to have a more careful touch on his new solo outing. The first minuteor so iscarefully introducing the song’s style, with a frolicking percussion and layered strings adding to the strummed guitar work. While the song’s percussive element often feels playful, the track itself has this solemnity to it, aided by the vocals of Sunde. He doesn’t push himself, and the notes just seem to flow from his mouth in a matter-of-fact manner. Now I Feel Adored will be released on March 3rd via Cartouche Records.

New Quin Galavis Video

Leave a comment

We raved, or I did, about My Life in Steel and Concrete, the last LP from Austin’s Quin Galavis. One of the great things about that release is that it showed Quin covering some new territory, while still sounding wholly, well, Quin. It looks like this will continue on his forthcoming, The Battery Line. His voice has often gone overlooked in his work, but he’s got perfect control of it throughout this track, touching high notes with just a hint of a passionate quiver. While I love when Galavis goes loud, his soft underbelly of late is pretty stunning. The new release comes this May via Super Secret Records.

New Video from Love Sport

Leave a comment

I’ve talked about Finnish act Love Sport several times before, and we’re back today to bring you this brand new video from the band, featuring a “boy who could not dream.” This track has a hook-laden guitar that rings through your speakers, while you watch the journey of the stuffed pig traipsing through nightlife in Helsinki. I always enjoy the balance between the bands discordant notes and their warm pop underbelly, with a special change in tone around the 2.40 mark. Their debut album Dull Tracks will be released by Soliti Music on April 13th worldwide.

New Song and Video from The Coathangers

Leave a comment

On February 10th, The Coathangers will blast into Austin to continue their musical assault on the masses. We’re likely to get a great deal of tracks from their excellent Nosebleed Weekend, which came out last year, but the ladies have just done a video for a brand new song that we’re sharing with you today. I love this track, as it celebrates the energy that drew me to the band during that one year I caught them 7 times during SXSW. It’s raw and gritty, yet there’s a slightly soft underbelly when Julia changes her delivery of “parasite.” Check the live video, and look for the band to hit your city as they’re tour encompasses the whole of the land…their Austin gig is at Barracuda next Friday.

New Black Watch Video

Leave a comment

One of the band’s that never seems to stop recording and writing is The Black Watch. I couldn’t even tell you how many albums they have, but in each way, they all have something special to offer listeners. They’ve just offered up this stupendous new tune and video, which features frontman John Andrew Frederick traipsing about in the UK. On this tune, while I love the ring of the guitar, I’m really in love with the chorus. Frederick has great vocal control here, letting his voice melodically smooth out the edges as he hits each note. If you’ve yet to get into the band, then perhaps this is a great place to start, offering visuals and a song that will last in your mind throughout the rest of this week.

ATX Spotlight: New Single from Letting Up Despite Great Faults

Leave a comment

We’re really pumped to share this video with you guys, as we love the work that Letting Up Despite Great Faults have done in the indiepop scene in Austin. Due to small line-up changes and fatherhood, the band has taken some time to craft their Alexander Devotion EP, but you can now hear new music below! Mike Lee has given up vocal duties on this track, letting their friend Lani Thomison, who sings in Keeper, take the lead here. It’s great, furthering the soft shoegaze sound the band has crafted. We’re so excited that we’re helping support the band for their EP release on February 16th at Barracuda. If you can’t make it, the EP will be available from Shelflife here in the US.

Premiere: Service Bell Video from New Berlin

Leave a comment

McAllen’s New Berlin are quickly making a name for themselves, with a handful of singles and tapes released over the last few years. They’ve finally gotten Basic Function out into the world, and this video should give those of you unfamiliar with the group the perfect taste of what they’re all about. The video’s a performance video, with the band quickly rocking out in a sterile garage environment, but don’t let that fool you, as they’re brandishing a heavier brand of rock. Bass lines bubble darkly beneath the guitars, backed by a near anthemic vocal, hooking the listener while the band hits hard. Grab the new LP from Super Secret Records right now!

New Bit of Poppy Noise from Bastards of Fate

Leave a comment

I think perhaps the greatest thing one can do as a hunter of music is find a band that begs to be pigeonholed, yet you’re unable to really label them…such is my fascination with Bastards of Fate. Watching this video, you get drawn into the opening moments of quirky bedroom pop, but it soon blasts into a noisier, crashing against your eardrums while an undercurrent of pop sensibility keeps the song level. Just as you’re fixed on a sound, the band offers up a haunting bit of doo-wop, as captivating as the earlier moments, and possibly even weirder. The band’s 3rd LP, Suck the Light Out, will be offered up from the very reliable HHBTM Records on February 24th.

New Video from The Walters

Leave a comment

The Walters are a Chicago act that’ve been on our radar for some time, due mostly to their undying support for our boys in Summer Salt. Just last week they unleashed this pop-tastic hit with it’s accompanying video, a prelude to what’s to come from the band. It’s hard to ignore such huge hooks from the band, and the exuberance in the video perfectly portrays what I’ve come to expect from the band. It doesn’t hurt that this tune was also recorded by legendary Phil Ek, all the more reason to give these guys some love going into the rest of 2017.
