Naked Roommate Share FightFlight Video

Leave a comment

As much as I appreciate an obvious dance pop banger, I’ve definitely grown in my appreciation for the other side of the coin, the come-hither dance floor beckoning that seduces bodies to unite in joy…like Naked Roommate‘s latest jam. As your speakers pump the sound through, you can’t deny that there’s a natural groove getting your body wiggling, you’re being called to join in the fun. But, this isn’t an over-the-top jam. Rather it’s that call to get warmed up, move your body and feel the vibes as the horns emphasize the natural rhythm of the tune. You move and squirm, freeing your body and mind of inhibitions as you gear up for the next track. And, is that next track a banger or more playful pop? We’ll have to wait until October 25th when Pass the Loofah drops via Trouble in Mind Records.

Tears Run Rings Drop How Will We Know Single

Leave a comment

Everything in The End is just around the corner, and Tears Run Rings have opted to give us one more peek under the covers, and what a doozy this one is. A plucked guitar string echoes for a few seconds, calling to the drums and other guitar notes to join in the scaffolding of ambiance. It builds quietly, and while the volume pushes it forward, you can feel the tension in the air, careful not to shatter the world created. It’s here where the vocals tip-toe into the tune, hanging on a thin vocal note that perfectly stalks the track from beneath. They play with this structure for six minutes, allowing the negative space to hold as much weight as possible, before carefully setting it back into the track. The album is out next week via Shelflife.

AUTOS Share Stay Clean

Leave a comment

If you’re looking for a rad power pop tune to crank up in your stereo, might we guide you to the latest track from Santa Cruz outfit, AUTOS. At the moment, they’re wrapping up the finishing touches on a new EP, but are tossing out a staggering smash to keep your eyes on the prize here. When the tune kicks off, it almost teases retreading garage rock, only to stutter and bring in a bit more of a pop swagger, snapping with drum hits and riffs that are begging to be freed. There’s a certain point where they can take it no more and let loose with the expected swagger that keeps the tune cool! This song brought to you by Dandy Boy Records, who will drop the EP next year.

Military Genius Announces Scarred For Life

Leave a comment

Bryce Cloghesy’s Military Genius project tends to be a far cry from his work in both NOV3L and Crack Cloud, but that’s perhaps one of the moments you get sucked right into the craft. Today he announces a new LP, Scarred For Life, playing on these jazzy structures that quietly lurk in the corners of your room while Bryce’s voice towers. Despite holding to heavy tones, there are certainly moments when the song’s seduction relies upon the pure fragility of the vocals. There’s something so powerful and emotive in the pull of this track, and we can’t wait to be swept away by the new record; it hits on November 1st via Unheard of Hope.

Dummy Share Blue Dada Video

Leave a comment

Those of you who continue to look for Dummy to repeat themselves on Free Energy are going to be drastically disappointed. They’ve taken their flirtation with beats and techno grooves and given them the freedom to take the lead, whilst the group workout ways to add bulk to the vibe. For nearly two minutes, the group flirt with a sort of trippy brand of house pop, letting these subtle ,shadowy melodies run amok amidst thickened beats; you’ll find a stark change in direction at the 2 minute mark, where the band rolls out a more rock oriented vibe. Guitars ring out quickly, building another blanket of warmth within the song, furthered as the vocals wrestle with one another while guitar squiggles of noise squeeze through the speakers. Free Energy finds the group continuing to push this genre to extremes; you can grab it on September 6th via Trouble in Mind Records.

Ohr Share Runaway Video

Leave a comment

When you wake up on a Monday, sometimes you just want to spin right into the world, and I think if you give this new jam from Seattle’s Ohr a play or two you’re going to fall in love with what’s outside your door, even if its only for a minute. There’s that same pulsing rhythm and groove that filled the minutes on old LCD Soundsystem records, though when its done here, there’s a softer skin, as if the melody’s saturated the track, putting the hook just behind the front of the mix. Don’t get me wrong, there’s still a spiritual freedom in this jam, but I love that it’s slight more of a mist of pop as opposed to a cliche downpour of beats. This tune appears on Afterglow, which drops this Friday!

New Single from Joyeria

Leave a comment

I keep waiting for folks in the States to really catch on to Joyeria, as the project continues to impress with each new sprinkle of pop that comes our way. You’ll hear tons of similarities in the voice, from David Berman to Tim Darcy to Nick Cave…and that’s where you fall in love. That voice feels primal, like it’s escaping out of necessity, unable to be contained, and in such, you can feel the emotion, freshly smashing into you as it makes its way through the speakers. Musically, it’s the bits in the negative space that make me marvel, wondering how much I’ve missed, as the stark nature of the vocals forces you to focus on darkened space we often overlook…and here it’s filled with muted guitar lines and fuzzed out horn work. This song is part of a special cassette planned for a forthcoming art show…so be on the lookout for a couple of other tracks to pop up.

Abbey Blackwell Shares River or a Road

Leave a comment

When listening to Abbey Blackwell‘s solo efforts, you’re going to get transported; her work in a sense, is reminiscent of old folk singers, like this magical crossroads between Joni Mitchell or Joan Baez on guitar with the heavy dulcet tones of Nico. It’s an enchanting place to play, with Blackwell carefully detailing our impact on loved ones, and what we leave behind in moments of separation, all of it carefully balled up beneath this ornate strum. The video below has some wonderful digitalization, bringing the sentiment in Abbey’s work to a colorful screen near you. Her album Big Big Motion is out on September 13th for those looking to disappear into an artist’s musical statement.

Webb Chapel Share Shipping Containers Anonymous

Leave a comment

Really jumping in full-throttle of late into these bands churning out these grimy pieces of indie rock that are saturated in noise and rhythmic propulsion, like the latest single from Philly’s Webb Chapel. They’re latest single creates this brooding discord, with these guitars lines stabbing from behind the curtain, creating this sort of ominous wall of danger. But, at 1:17 there’s this sudden slip up where they evolve into this dream state that sedates you, albeit for a moment before the guitars go howling off this way and that. Their new album World Cup is shaping up to be a beast of a listen; indulge yourself below and grab a copy from Strange Mono Records before the September 6th release date!

Caroline Says Announces The Lucky One

Leave a comment

In a song, and album, that reflects upon the past, and how we’re impacted by our memories, good and bad, there’s no perfect narrator other than Caroline Sallee, aka Caroline Says. She’s a well traveled songwriter and human, having spent a portion of her time living in the confines of our fair city for a moment before venturing off to new horizons. This new single presents us with the trusted fragility and gentle strum that lulls you into your own memories, reflecting on your own lived experiences as Sallee narrates her own. A listening adventure that truly feels like it lives and breathes through us; we’ll get great things from The Lucky One, I’m sure; it’s out on October 11th via Western Vinyl.
