Hospital Ships Video Debut

hospitalSeems like this is the month for all things Hospital Ships, especially here at ATH. We interviewed Jordan about SXSW, as well as featured several new songs from his forthcoming LP, The Past is Not a Flood. We’re fortunate enough to offer you another special treat today, with a live video of his song “Nothing to Hide.” This is perhaps one of the album’s most personal songs, as well as the most direct in its simplicity. Here we have Jordan working over a piano with his fragile voice carrying the track. The video’s pretty naked emotionally as well; I love seeing him completely lost in the song, as you’re likely to feel the same. Look for the new LP on March 11th via Graveface Records.

New Single & Video From Bergen

12346393_1028336280551107_8372644075798823823_nFinding new artists to share with you eager awaiting fans is a bit of fun for us here at ATH and today I’ve got a new one for ya with Bergen. The duo, based between London and Padova, Italy, create an interesting new form of dream pop mixed with some darker elements of the shoe gaze genre. I highly recommend watching this entrancing video to go along with their new song “Girl” as it accompanies the tune rather nicely. This track appears on a new EP coming out soon. I will of course be sharing more information once I have it. Enjoy.

 

You Won’t Return with New Album

youwontI really enjoyed Skeptic Goodbye, the debut from You Won’t, but I haven’t heard anything from the band since then…until yesterday. They’ve just announced the release of their new effort, Revolutionaries, which is going to be handled by Extraneous Music. Their sound has always been difficult to identify, working within the confines of indie rock, Americana and folk music. This song shows the band fleshing out their sound a bit more, filling in some of the empty space that might have been audible on their debut. The record comes out on April 29th, and they’ve also got a video for the tune HERE, if you’re into the visual affects.

New Single & Video From Fruit Bats

unnamed (16)Over the years I’ve made plenty of posts on this site about Fruit Bats and their Americana sound. Today I’m pleased to share with you a brand new single from Eric Johnson and company entitled “From A Soon-To-Be Ghost Town”. Once again the listener is treated to a unique take on the indie folk/country genre. The driving and rambling sounds make me want to head out on the open road.

Fruit Bats will releaseAbsolute Loser on May 13th via Easy Sound Recordings.

Joyous Rocker from The Hipshakes

hipsdontlieThe Hipshakes came my way via their connection to Proto Idiot, another UK act that I absolutely adore. In two minutes the band blasts through an energetic bit of rock; it’s as infectious as it is edgy, but what really sold me on the song is the band’s video. Whether it was shot with this in mind or not, the band are just having a blast playing; you can feel their joy coming through your screen, which always make rock n’ roll more endearing…we care because they care. This song comes off their Maximum Growthand Vigour LP on SMF Records, which you can pick up right HERE.

New Music from Film School

filmschoolIt’s been quite some time since we’ve heard from Film School, especially the original line-up that helped make their brand new June EP. Seeing as that’s been almost ten years, things have changed, both for the music world and for the band. You can hear growth and maturity in the band’s new single, opening with a sprawling bit of post-rock before the yearning vocals drone echo through your ears. It’s a fitting track to be matched with the black and white cinematography of the video meant to accompany the tune. Look for the new EP on February 12th.

Show Pics: The Soft Moon @ The Parish (1/21)

The Soft MoonLast Friday, it was supposed to be some nostalgia with Killing Joke playing The Parish. However, they cancelled leaving plans in the lurch. The truly awesome news was that scheduled openers would still come to town and even better, they added Video in support. A last minute add of Autlier completely rounded out the night.

Click through – I have plenty of photos from the night and thoughts on The Parish’s recent upgrades.

New Video from The Ocean Party

oceanpartyHave you not realized how great The Ocean Party is yet? I think, in my opinion, people will be clamoring for their back catalog in a short time, as the band continue their rise by crafting incredible pop songs. This new video is from their latest effort, Light Weight, which we are handling for them over here in the US. On this track, the title track from the record, I think the band are successful in just giving you pure pop bliss; it’s one of the songs on the record that you might skip at first, but find yourself proclaiming it as one of their best in the long run. If you want a copy, pick it up HERE.

Ticket Giveaway: Win Tickets to The Soft Moon (1.22)

softmoonFriday night one of our favorite bands will be gracing the stage for a nice set, and I couldn’t think of a better sound system to handle the wall of beautiful noise that The Soft Moon will bring to the table. The band, primarily the project o Luis Vasquez has been carrying a blend of noise, electronica and industrial pop for some time now, and he’s captivated us through several albums on Captured Tracks…and a nice set at Levitation/Psych Fest. Joining him on the stage that night will be Austin act, VIDEO, as well as Autlier. If you want a pair of tickets for free, leave a comment…pick a number between 1-1000. We’ll contact the winner after NOON on Thursday when the contest comes to a close!

Here’s a New Pollen Track

pollPollen is a Finnish based-act (not to be confused with the Philly power-pop act, nor that Austin artist formerly known as). They’ve just upped this brand new single, and I think fans of Hot Chip or LCD Soundsystem will definitely find a sound to enjoy within the confines of this video. Still, what’s drawing me to the track isn’t the throbbing pulse of the song itself, but rather the music working beneath each layer…jazzed up percussion, touches of horns and electronic flourishes. This video comes from the band’s new album, Confidence Will Kill You, which comes out January 15th via Royal Mint Records.
