Three Quarter Skies Drops New Single

Leave a comment

If you haven’t heard of Three Quarter Skies, but consider yourself a Slowdive fan, well, this is drummer Simon Scott’s new project. Today they’ve shared the latest single, and it’s the perfect vibe to just lose yourself inside, if that’s your sort of thing. There’s this slowly ebbing wall of atmosphere that builds for the first minute (plus), anchored by a stark percussive element; you can almost see the melding of sounds and colors before you as the tune plays. When the vocals come into the picture, they take on this sort of shadowy quality, which can be a bit disorienting; it does feel as if it moves with the shifts that coincide with the track itself. Available today through Sonic Cathedral.

Golomb Announce Love + Share Take My Life

Leave a comment

If, like me, Golomb wasn’t already on your list of acts to keep an ear out for, then, like me, you’ve made a grave mistake. This past week the band just announced their brand new Love EP, and with that, they’ve shared a thundering new single and video to capture your ear. They set the tune up with warbling and whaling guitar, set up to screech on the back of this harrowing beat that sounds like your neighbor pounding on your wall to get you to turn that noise down! As the rhythm section thunders away, the guitar takes its own route, locking in step at moments, ripping its own path at other turns. While the formula seems simplistic, its the execution and the band’s willingness to kind of forged its own destructive path from within that really makes you thirsty for more. The Love EP is out this Friday!

Immersion Share I’m Barely Here Video

Leave a comment

Colin Newman and Malka Spigel need little introduction, but there Immersion project has enlisted Penelope Isles’ Jack Wolter (aka Cubzoa) for their latest single here. It begins simply, using this mystical cymbal work to establish some atmosphere, then begins to build. Casually, there’s a propulsive groove that slides into the frame, setting the mood for the vocals. Those vocal notes are almost like ghostly whispers, hanging in the balance between the constant tapping of cymbals and all the other nuanced notes that fill the space in your room. It’s a striking exercise in patience, letting the movement seep through your speakers, drawing you towards whatever noise your ears hear first. This is the final single before their new album, Nanocluster: Vol 2 drops this Friday.

Cola Offer Pulling Quotes Video

Leave a comment

There’s a brand new Cola record coming out next Friday, and until then, there’s several singles for you to devour, like this brand new one and it’s accompanying video. This track began with Ben Stidworthy sending his bandmates the demo, using the groove to mimic the Uillean Pipes and their steadied drone. It initially didn’t grab Tim Darcy, but if you listen, you can hear how the openness of the tune forced him to take a different vocal approach this go round; it appears on our first few listens that his voice is almost taking on the approach singing to a ballad, though it still remains distinctive in nature. The tune’s latter half really has the band flexing their musical muscles as they break down into a steady jam that abruptly ends the tune. The Gloss drops June 14th via Fire Talk.

Kelley Stoltz Releases Hide in a Song Video

Leave a comment

Fuck all the flair and glory of modern trends; I want good old fashioned rock n’ roll…the sort Kelley Stoltz is making. Don’t get me wrong, there’s something about Stoltz songwriting that continues to see him relevant, but the way he is playing within the confines of classic tricks really makes me love his work even more. You can hear the crunchy riffs, wether they’re offering that come hither feel or that anthemic burst that has arenas roaring, they just feel supremely huge to my ears. Extra little vocal hooks play into his charms too, which you’ll get in warm melodic doses throughout the latest jam. Just another reason to keep an eye out for La Fleur when it drops this coming Friday via Dandy Boy Records.

 

Cursive Return with Devourer

Leave a comment

As an avowed Cursive fanboy, I feel obligated to tell you that they are returning with a brand new album that’s going to blow you away! Today, Run for Cover announce they’ll be releasing Devourer, their first album in five years! I love the new tune, and feel like it might possibly be some of the best stuff Tim’s done since the Ugly Organ; his vocal control throughout the single is as remarkable as ever, solidifying his role as one of the voices I’ll always carry with me. I don’t need to wax poetically here, as if you’re reading this site, you likely already love the band and their work; the new LP will drop on September 13th.

SCHOOL Share NSMLYD Video

Leave a comment

There’s no denying that I hold the 90s Britpop sounds in high regard; I still listen to a bunch of stuff that I got into in the mid90s, so SCHOOL is definitely channeling those same vibes, albeit with a slightly noisier element that’s hanging about in their latest single, “N.S.M.L.Y.D.” You can hear the curl of the Gallagher brothers in the way the vocals just sort of wrap themselves up at the end of each syllables, perfecting that classic vibe. And, while the vocals are spot on, they’ve incorporated the modern revisiting of noise elements into the background, working just behind that straddling synth line, thus ensuring that it’s both nostalgic and modern and sure to please. This tune brought to you courtesy of Geographie.

Chapter Music to Release Dave Mason’s Soundtrack for Double X

Leave a comment

So, the title of this post is a lot, but that’s also because there’s a lot going on in this post; I was even grateful to learn some things, as you should be! First, our friends at Chapter Music are releasing the soundtrack to the 1986 short film, Double X and the Unmentionable Underbelly of His-story, created by Julie Cunningham. Not only is this cause to revisit the short film, but also to revisit the history of Dave Mason, the main man in legendary, and ‘contender for best Australian band of all time,’ the Reels. Plus, the song’s now put to edited film footage by Geoffrey O’Connor who has a whole long history with Chapter. Obviously, that’s a lot to swallow, but you can now soak all that in with the craft of Mason, which feels oddly of the moment, despite being decades old; the synth work and playful nature of the rhythmic pulse would align perfect with a number of like-minded acts operating today. The score for the short film will be available in 7″ format on July 19th.

The Martial Arts Share Not Coming Down

Leave a comment

There’s a new album coming soon from The Martial Arts, and if we’re going in on this new single, it sounds like we’re going to be spinning around to some magnificent pop sweetness. The band claim this is “the indie pop/power pop answer song to Irene Cara’s ‘Flashdance (What a Feeling)’, and that makes sense as there’s a certain pop stomp that cruises through the song’s front half; it’s as upbeat and fist-pumping as you’re going to get form a pop rock act. They double down after the 2 minute mark, driving the riffs and infectious nature right through the speakers with such volume that your body is naturally inclined to sing-along, even if you haven’t memorized the lyrics just yet. You’re allowed to have fun and still be cool, I promise. We’ll keep you posted as we hear more about the new record, slated for an August release from WIAIWYA.

Great Earthquake Shares Trauma and Impact

Leave a comment

Noah Symons has a catalog chock-full of explorative pop music under the name Great Earthquake, and it looks like we’re set to see another album from the songwriter come out this August. Beginning with a little metronomic beat, the track starts at a crawl, letting Symons settle into the moment as guitar lines dangle themselves into the mix. As it progresses, a synth line of atmospherics and a snappier bit of cymbals and snares build the texture beneath Noah’s voice, giving the tune this nice little dosage of sweetness that elevates the emotional ties here. The new LP Abstract Expression will be out on August 2 via Lost and Lonesome.
