Assistant Share Song for Jil

Leave a comment

After having been away from one another, Assistant have returned in the last few years with a flutter of activity, and there’s another LP on the very near horizon. Their latest tune, a trickling pop ode to songwriter Jonathan’s mom, is the perfect appetizer for Wednesday pop musings. At times, there’s hints of bossanova, though it would also be easy to kind of hear how their softness fits into the modern realm of indiepop. Still, listen closely at the beginning as the group undertakes their own sparklier version of the Clientele, creating a landscape painting with their musicality. Their new LP, Certain Memories, will be available on November 17th via the good folks at Subjangle.

Minorcan Preps Rock Alone + Shares Scorpio Sting

One comment

Yesterday was a sign of the times, as I got my first “Year in Review” pitch, meaning it is officially time for us to jump in our transporter and head into 2025. One of the records we’ll be looking out for is the new Minorcan record, Rock Alone, which features the tasty treat we’ve got streaming down below. Listening through the tune, the musical style falls somewhere between the work of Bruce Springsteen and Eels, offering up a left of the dial version of classic songwriting. It’s an apt time for the release here, as it’s a love song, disguised as an arachnid attack, with the love interest striking our narrator. If you’re looking for a little tasty morsel inside, might I suggest the little guitar shuffled at 1:43; it totally brightened my day over here. Rock Alone is out in February of next year my friends!

La Securite Share Detour Single

Leave a comment

You’re going to throw a stabbing post punk guitar riff at me? Then follow it up with this infectious bass groove and a bit of bob-and-weave vocal stylings? Okay, I’ll follow you anywhere at that point, just like I will with a new La Securite single. And, as much as I love the hooks in the songwriting, there are some elements towards the latter half that just put the group in their groove, locking into the fun of building noise and letting the mixture swirl around until it all sounds absolutely perfect. This is the perfect reminder of how great the group are, and perhaps why I should go revisit Stay Safe!

LP Gavin Share Launderette Euphoria Video

Leave a comment

After a little blast from that earlier Nothing Natural tune, you’re likely ready to settle into your chair, then get right down to business, thus you’ll need to get this LP Gavin track on repeat. It’ll greet you with a little bit of a bluesy swagger, then churning it out with a bit of fuzz to make your speakers rattle. All the while, Gavin is just staying cool, detailing the little observations of the world he’s been able to make. There’s something in the vocals and the guitars that almost seems to drag a bit behind the beat, only to pick up again and launch into gritty little breakdowns and solo guitar chugs. Safe Suburban Home will be putting out a new LP in February of next year, so keep your ears ready.

The Tubs Announce Cotton Crown

Leave a comment

While October isn’t quite over yet, we’re already starting to get a peek at what next year’s release schedule will look like, and the Tubs have another addition that you should keep your eyes upon. They open up the record with this new single, rushing through a slight jangle with a 90s alternative bent to it; the rush of energy allows the vocals to work their own magic, calmly sitting in the middle of the mix in crooner fashion, with some backing vocals layered in to bulk up the melodic feel. The nostalgia doesn’t feel dated here, with enough of a modern twist to make leave us thirsting for more! Cotton Crown will be out in March via Trouble in Mind.

The Green Child Release A Long Beautiful Flowing Cape

Leave a comment

On the first single from the Look Familiar, the new LP from the Green Child, the track felt logical; it felt like a progression from their previous release. But, we seem them taking a horizontal step, playing with nuanced electronics and their role in creating negative space as a musical background. Here, they’ve evaded their rolling pop synthetics, instead choosing to work on an almost anti-pop realm. Don’t get me wrong, there’s still some crystalline synth notes that build the space, but Raven seems to be kind of tip-toeing around tradition, sliding in and out of that negative space, with electro beats fluttering behind. Look Familiar is out on November 15th via Upset the Rhythm/Hobbies Galore.

Lofi Legs Share Chain Video

Leave a comment

I’ve only just gotten hold of this new track from Lofi Legs, and already, I can’t stop pressing play, as it feels like the perfect intersection of everything I’ve been rocking to lately. There’s a bit of wayward pop akin to TV Personalities, but there’s also a tightness, bringing back some almost Beatles-esque pop moments to the front. All that, but it also doesn’t stray away from noise, so you get all of your bits and pieces of the great indie rock sounds in one little pop gem. The San Fran project will drop Bag of Spells on October 25th, just in time to haunt our listening rotation!

Alpaca Sports Share Tribute to Soren Borjesson, Autograph

Leave a comment

We only recently learned that Alpaca Sports would be back in the music making game. And, while I always appreciate their work, this new single comes with a bit of sadness, as the tune was hurried out to the world as a tribute to the Soren Borjesson, the Swedish football player whom the song adores. It’s a light number, almost lounge-oriented indiepop, playing with Andreas voice working over the lightest bit of synthetic ambiance and a strumming that seemingly disappears behind the percussive element. This song will appear on the new record, dropping in January via Elefant, but be on the lookout for another version on the horizon in November.

Wussy Share Sure as the Sun Single

Leave a comment

Having a new Wussy single to share is a gift, especially when one considers what the band has been through. Through this, Chuck Cleaver is still trying to find solace in the world, such as this track. It’s an ode to trusting in the people around you, loved ones and friends, and maybe just neighbors; it’s about believing in them through mistakes and down times, “until they prove themselves unworthy.” All of this emotion is set to a dark folk march, rolling through the roads of America like an old Volkswagen commercial. This track appears on the group’s new LP, Cincinnati Ohio, which hits on November 15th via Shake It Records.

Greg Mendez Shares Alone Video

Leave a comment

This is Greg Mendez‘s world, and we’re all just living in it, and gratefully so. Just recently he announced his singing to Dead Oceans, with plans of an EP and a Reissue of his S/T LP. Now, there’s a brand new single that completely breaks your heart, and there’s no way from avoiding it; you’re going to find yourself willingly driving head-on into this downpour of melodic emotion. Something about Greg’s voice just breaks you; you can hear it strain, while the strum of the strings reverberates in your speakers. That added vocal texture on the tune only deepens the appeal, making this new 7″ an absolute must have; it drops this Friday!
