QUINQUIS Shares Morwreg

Leave a comment

This might be the final piece from my catch up game, and what a doozy! QUINQUIS is the project of Emilie Quinquis, and she’s combining her entrancing vocals with a deep love of pulsating electronica. She pulls out her voice first, selling you on its majesty, all as a subtle beat begins to build beneath the surface; it doesn’t cover the voice completely, careful not too overplay itself. But, there’s a moment around the 2 minute mark where the beat gets to shine on its own, heavy and thumping, with a blinking bit of percussive samples barking at you over the top of a budding synth line…and then the vocals drop back in to finish the job. All of this brought to us courtesy of Mute.

Facs Share Desire Path Video

Leave a comment

Chicago’s FACS are an absolute powerhouse; they’re name continues to rise in the indie press, and based off their singles from the forthcoming Wish Defense LP, that meteoric takeoff is much deserved. Upon pressing play, rumbling drums roll you right into a warped wall of distorted guitars, bending the atmosphere and creating this disorienting darkness. But, just as they seem settled into a hazy realm, they turn the song into a colder post-punk territory, punctuated by a few lyrical bursts (“It ties you up/it ties you”) before receding. I love the way they’re straddling two territories in the same realm, and this has me salivating to hear the entirety of the new LP. Wish Defense is out in February via Trouble In Mind Records.

The Sprouts Share Sometimes Single

Leave a comment

I was pretty high upon Eat Your Greens, the debut LP from Aussie outfit The Sprouts (2023), so hearing they’ve got a new release on the way is welcome news. According to the release, the six songs on the forthcoming EP were recorded at home, and while they’ve got that inclination to wear the private charms, there’s still something beyond special in this single. While perhaps I’m tethered to the video, it’s as if the song’s a lightly penned vacation soundtrack, perhaps crafted by a young Lou Reed and friends. Guitars are soft and wistful, and the underlying charm of the vocals just feels like a crisp cool wafting across your life. Keep your eyes out for the new EP, slated to drop in January.

Juanita Stein Shares Motionless

Leave a comment

Starting off our Monday with a bit of a different role this week, and rather than pull out a “Last Week’s Jams” with five songs, we’re circling back to the cool stuff we missed, like this new single from Juanita Stein. The British singer just dropped The Weightless Hour, and with that, she’s offered up a visual of album standout “Motionless,” and it’s drifting brand of indie rock definitely caught my ear. You’ll get a slight smokiness, kind of hazy, but brimming with power, much like you’d get from an Angel Olsen or Sharon van Etten, and in that you get a moving performance that we hope gets you to check out her new LP!

Geoffrey O’Connor Shares Let’s Make Love Feel Good Again

Leave a comment

While I’m still perplexed by the ever-present penguin in the new series of videos from Geoffrey O’Connor, I’m totally thrilled by his pop penmanship, as he’s written another swooning pop track I adore. Casually shimmying into the verses, he works the track like a singer controlling his audience; you can almost feel him moving across the stage as he locks into that connection. But, the big winner is the chorus, as longtime ATH hero Emma Russack lends her voice, effortlessly lifting the melody that rains upon the listener with each falling note. Another gem from the forthcoming I Love What We Do, out on February 14th via Dinosaur City.

Disarme Share Change Single

Leave a comment

Our friends over at Geographie Records have a pretty good track record when it comes to what’s hip over in France, and they’ve sent us the debut single from Disarme, with this shadowy video to immerse you into the confines of what’s coming our way. There was something about the guitar sound and the hushed vocal work that reminded me of an early Sharon van Etten, though you’ll hear a subtle vocal change about midway through the tune, encouraging you to take any meaningless comparison with a grain of salt. With that little plot twist comes a lighter guitar, turning a faint little note into charm, to completely slow it down as the music moves to a softened close.

Campus Christy Share Little Wings

Leave a comment

The musical collaboration between Peanut Butter Wolf and Brian Ellis is shaping up quite nicely, and “Little Wings” is just another careful sample from the forthcoming LP that’s got me in a state of awe. A galactic wash works just behind the strum, with a light hum adding to listener’s of the faintest brushstrokes, though on this cold Austin morning, I’m certainly drawn towards the gentle vocals. They offer this fragility, this sort of happy solitude that accompanies the light blowing of the winds outside, so it feels like the perfect track today. The self-titled Campus Christy LP will be out on December 6th via Stones Throw.

Skloss Announce The Pattern Speak

Leave a comment

Austin/Glasgow duo SKLOSS have been making waves the last few years, releasing their Voices Travel Through EP in 2022; their buzz has led to the signing with Fuzz Club Records for their forthcoming LP. The video version sets the ominous tone with a dimly lit convenience store introducing the opening riff that builds before Karen enters the picture with wailing vocals over the top. Slowly, drums begin to thump while the guitar continues to reverberate. Everything smashes together and the two lock into a heavy groove, displaying the full force the duo bring to the table. If heavy psychedelia is your cup of tea, sign up to follow SKLOSS and their new LP The Pattern Speaks…out on February 7th.

Three Quarter Skies Offers Superwoman Single

Leave a comment

When listening to the latest single from Three Quarter Skies, it should come as no surprise to you that the band is the project of Slowdive’s Simon Scott, particularly as this feels like an adjacent shadow, fading in and out of the light. Notes bend and warp on the front of the mix, with percussive elements reverberating to create this shimmering aura that drenches the track in this musical dampness. From there, you can hear the vocals weaving in and out of the cavernous world, notes bouncing off the wall and down the hall, only to reach your ears seconds later. Out today via Sonic Cathedral, with a remix by some Sonic Boom character from the early days of Sega Genesis.

Shrapnel Announce Sedan Crater + Share New Video

Leave a comment

When Shrapneldropped their 2021 LP Alasitas, it got a lot of coverage (and plays) on our end of things over here, so when an email came in with a fresh single and an album announce, I was ready to share…and here we are. This new jam jumps right on, twisting jangling guitars into hook-laden distortion machines wielding pop sensationalism for the masses. As the energy ebbs and flows, you can see the band working on their own axe wielding tricks, playing with organized robotics that strike the emphatic notes in all the right spots. They’ll be releasing Sedan Crater on January 31st via Tenth Court, and we’ll keep you posted as more singles pop out!
