Broncho Release I Swear Video

Leave a comment

I don’t know what’s in the water, but the new Broncho stuff is totally my vibe right now. They’ve changed up the construction, and while there’s clearly their usual pop sentiment, there’s this fogginess that drips across the singles we’ve heard, like the tune below. They even take that into the way their video footage is being shot, incorporating that into the wash of the film. You’ll also find a slight little tonal shift around the 1:40 mark that really solidifies the track’s pop sentiment, twisting it into a momentary bedroom pop gem. They’ll release Natural Pleasure, the new LP, on April 25th. They’ve got huge tour dates from June through August, with a July 18th date here in Austin at the Mohawk!

Guy Blackman Shares Don’t Ask Don’t Tell

Leave a comment

Long time friend Guy Blackman has long been a champion of our site, and we’ve been a champion of his label Chapter Music, as its introduced us to some great works…but today we celebrate Guy and his first solo album in nearly 20 twenty years. This first single from that new album is a sincere pop song, simple and earnest, carefully moving with the narrator’s detailing of appreciating the unsaid in their relationship. There’s something in its construction that reminds me of Jens Lekman at his peak, and yet, the chorus here is stunning, making me swoon. With the years and maturity to look back and realize there’s a new horizon, we wish Guy all the best on his musical endeavors. Out of Sight will be out via Chapter on June 13th.

Hectorine Announce Arrow of Love

Leave a comment

So as to not be too rock forward today, I pulled back a bit to offer you this new tune from Oakland’s Hectorine, which offers more of a slow-dance pop style you’ll hopefully enjoy. There’s something in this that sounds like a montage scene from 80s pop culture, whether its the trickling keyboard notes or the saxophone billowing in the distance, it’s all about the mood altering style that changes your morning perspective. If you’re in the market for something a little subtle and not quite so in your face, sink into your chair and soak up the warmth of Hectorine; they’ll release Arrow of Love via Take a Turn Records on May 23rd

The Gotobeds Return with Masterclass

Leave a comment

There’s a lot of really great music out there, but the world needs a band like the Gotobeds in the musical rotation, a reminder of our most basic rock instincts. They’ve mostly been silent since Debt Begins at 30 (nearly 5 years ago now), but upon their return, they don’t seem to have skipped a step, cranking out a brand of working class indie rock that feels fresh and vital every inch of the way. They get up and drive themselves into their job, banging out every last bit of sound from their guitars; the vocals are scratching at their limits, and the drums bang like a hammer…and yet, when the job’s done, they just shut off and head home. Now, just because the first instinct you feel is their aggression, don’t be tricked, as the underlying pop pieces are what make this band a necessity. They’ll release Masterclass on May 16th via 12XU Records.

Dew Claw Drop Wall Single

Leave a comment

There’s nothing better on a Friday than cranking up your stereo and just letting the rock songs rip, so wanted to start off this Friday on the right foot by sharing this big hook-laden pop rocker from Dew Claw. The band are an all-business pop rock outfit, as you can tell by the way they just kick in with these high octane distorted riffs that help you smash through walls. That said, they’re not shying away from their anthemic inclinations, building a set of huge riffs matched only by the huge hooks that bounce right through the chorus. Their new album, E.L.F. is out this May via Dromedary Records.

Lunchbox Share Video for Letter from Overend

Leave a comment

While we’ve loved Lunchbox in their most recent run, including last year’s excellent Pop and Circumstance, the music from their lost album Evolver has me swooning. Maybe I’m oversimplifying things, but it feels like a mixture of the Vaselines and Heavenly, albeit with these jazzy little pop structures that wouldn’t be out of place on a Stereolab record. All those little pieces course in and out of the latest video to celebrate the album’s reissue, and I think you’ll have a lot of fun just clicking play and soaking it all in. This video is a collection of scrolling photos from what I assume, and hope, is a lifetime of joy playing music and traveling about, fusing the spirit of the song with like-minded imagery. Evolver is getting released on vinyl via Slumberland on April 18th.

Sports Team Share Maybe When We’re 30

Leave a comment

There’s a lot of wind blowing overseas with Sports Team on the wings, and I’ll admit, I’m always interested in what the press adore over there, and how it resonates in the States. With this lot, it’s fully hit or miss, but this new single is definitely a hit, and perhaps it’s because it does sound wholly British in its presentation, though the latter half of this tune does move into that territory of every day indie rock. The entirety of the tune operates on this sort of steadied bounce, kicking through a matched vocal performance that seems to walk you through their contemplations on our investment in social media. Kind of feels lie a [better] British answer to Arcade Fire, with commentary and pop and art bred as one. Boys These Days will be out on May23rd via Distiller/Antenna Records.

Pynch Take You to the Supermarket

Leave a comment

We’re almost to the weekend, and we’ve got to get over the hump with something infectious and fun, like the brand new single from Pynch. While it’s easy to hear the group as another lot jumping into the fray of traditional rock, they incorporate this natural sense of playfulness that gets the tune to the outskirts of the genre. Not sure which I adore more: the huge melodic hook that operates as the song’s core or the rhythmic bounce that keeps the liveliness in there. But, I do know I can’t stop pressing play, as this rips through and gives me a joyousness that I hope will kick start your day with a big grin.

Darci Phenix Shares Truth and Clear Water Video

Leave a comment

There are two ways to indulge in the below video, but rest assured, this new track from Darci Phenix is not to be overlooked. You can take a breath, relish in the craft of Darci’s sister, Sarah…or fast forward past the 1st minute to where the tune begins. Musically, the song carries you on this folk voyage, moving from these intricately picked strings and softened vocal notes. But, the tune begins to build, unfolding and stacking sounds to where the song begins to swell before your ears. Over and over, the song rises, only to recede and calmly close with a gentle nature; this tune appears on here new album, Sable, out on March 6th via Get Loud Recordings.

Pachyman Announces Another Place

Leave a comment

It always amazes me that for all the risks and adjacent vibes that course through Pachyman‘s sound that he doesn’t get loads of love from the indie rock cognoscenti. With the announcement of a new record, pushing his sound further into textural dub, he’s got this bumping new single, burrowing into your soul with its repetitive nature. And yet, you never tire, as the song’s builds and spins, ultimately feeling like a collection of break-beats from your favorite old school hip-hop DJ. And that’s the thing with his work, as it stretches here and there, and yet always feels like something magical and close to his core. Looking forward to Another Place; it drops on May 23 via ATO Records.
