One Last Sneak Peek at Cate Le Bon’s Michelangelo Dying

Leave a comment

It took the new track from Cate Le Bon only about 32 seconds to remind me why her music is so fascinating and enduring, in my brain anyways. The way she plays with the vocals throughout nods to little snippets of pop history, whilst still feeling ornate and supernatural. Musically, there’s lots of space to manipulate, and at times the tune seemingly moves in and out of your consciousness, pulsating with the grooves that echo and swell behind le Bon. I just love the satiated presentation, as Cate seems completely confident in her role throughout, and in no rush to reach out and fill in with the fads. Michelangelo Dying drops on September 26th.

Pulsing Pop from Aitis Band

Leave a comment

Something about the new single from Aitis Band sort of provides a bit of an escape from reality, although one might find that juxtaposed to the anxiety-inducing video. You’ll be drawn into the tune by its continuous groove, the pulse thumping as sampled sounds scream through the distance. Pushing on, a buzz begins to reverberate, though the careful construction allows the group to hold the reigns, never quite letting you go on that spiritual journey your body is seeking. In fact, you find yourself trapped, caught in the industrial cosmic propulsion…and never the happier. You’ll hear this tune on their new IV, which drops on October 10th.

The Wind-Ups Drop Video for Pain In Your Heart

Leave a comment

Weary of getting to lost in the wash of morning pop vibes, the Wind-Ups just dropped their newest video, and it offers a different side of pop music. It’s a gritty number on the surface, but lurking beneath is the sense of playfulness that the group manage to capture on the recoding of their most recent LP, Confection. Chanting at first, they use a not to Laverne and Shirley to kick off the noisy wash of grooves that suck you immediately into their exuberance; it’s like a call and response of sorts, with a willingness to just have some fun while you’re cranking out the volume. If you can’t hear the fun kicking on below, maybe you should just grab the LP from Dandy Boy Records, and it’ll all make sense.

The Apartments Announce That’s What the Music is For

Leave a comment

I reckon there is never a bad time to slink into a good track from the Apartments, and Peter Milton Walsh has made our day with the announcement of a new record from the famed Aussie outfit. These days, Walsh is operating almost as a crooner, letting the weight of his voice carry the emotion atop nicely lightened musical arrangements. All the musical notes are striking, though they all seem wary of stepping on Peter’s toes, kind of hanging in the back with the shaker, light strum and snapping drum; the extra flourishes build in a deepened vibe, embracing the sort of somber aura that crests and cruises through the whole of the tune. Looking forward to hearing That’s What the Music is For; it drops on October 17th.

Veps Share New Music

Leave a comment

Wanted to jump into Friday with a little bit of a light spirit, so this track from Norwegian outfit Veps seems like it built for opening up our Friday jam session. This single is a shout out to being totally and madly in love, so much so that you’re willing to throw caution to the wind. Musically, the spirit abides by that, sort of embracing a kind of post garage rock sound, embedded with deep roots in pop structures. Sort of akin to what the Beths have been doing on their recent work, holding onto the joy of the moment…all of it tethered to the thematic statement. This tune comes with news that they’ve signed on to work with PNKSLM, so this is their first single with the label!

Pynch Share How You Love Someone

Leave a comment

The guitar work in this track will be what draws you in, but what will make you fall in love with this new Pynch track is the way they execute the chorus; it’s a brilliant moment that makes every second of the tune worth cranking up. Light ringing jangles seduce you, but when the line of “how you love someone” rains upon you, the emotional impact creates this sublime moment that has you recognizing the promise of their forthcoming effort, Beautiful Noise. I also really appreciate the way the latter half of the tune opens up with some synthesized stretches of pop, highlighting the hook and driving it into the brain of the listener. Chillburn Records will release the album on October 3rd.

 

Rosa Anschutz Share Sun Tavern

Leave a comment

When I first encountered this new tune from Rosa Anschutz, the experienced feel of her craft made me wonder why I hadn’t heard from her prior to this new single, and then I learned she’s been working in the electronic underground in Germany for years. My fascination revolves around the evolution of the track, building on this sort of cavernous industrial feel with a powerful vocal dominating the front of the mix; the voice dances and dashes to match up with some of the parallel textures at play in the guitars. Then, as you adjust your listening to the electronic nature, it instantly begins to twist into this bold soaring indie rock croon, pushing into this realm that seems to have few peers. Such a fascinating listen you should try on for size; look for her first foray outside the German scene with Sabbatical, out September 24th via Heartworm Press.

Another Track from Shabason, Krgovich and Tenniscoats

Leave a comment

The on-going project of Shabason, Krgovich and Tenniscoats has provided me with this solace amidst the storm that is my life at the moments; it’s a reminder to breathe and observe. Each note seems carefully placed, as if tip-toeing through the streets presented in the video, allowing the listener to quietly watch on as we chase our own pursuits. Whilst the majority of the tune’s we’ve heard have dwelled in the Tenniscoats vocal world, this one has a mixture, building a layer of anticipation that will surely be rewarded if we latch onto the patience presented in the craft. Look for Wao this Friday via Western Vinyl.

John Moods Joins Up with Discovery Zone

Leave a comment

As I revel in the vibes this week, maybe we should turn our attention this morning towards John Moods and Discovery Zone, who’ve just dropped this collaborative single. Musically, there’s a gentleness, which comes as a surprise as the lyrical content seems to detail a shattered relationship, albeit one that continues to unfold and reemerge as the times goes forward. The bobbing bass beneath the Discovery Zone vocals add this brilliant layer that creates the sublime mood I’m basking in as I write this. And then, well, the tune takes off, moving into this more futuristic realm, perhaps hinting at what lays before us all. This tune available courtesy of Mansions and Millions.

Thom Chapman Shares Lucy Hides

Leave a comment

This Thom Chapman jam’s been floating around for a few weeks now, and while it has racked up some solid views, I wanted to dive into it, as I’m still working through the vibes on this Monday morning. I love the way Chapman seems to kind of take samples of all the things I love, whether that’s classic indie riffs or thumping beats, building this sort of dreamscape where you can escape the world whilst still holding tight to some energetic pulses. When you match that with the cinematic nature of the video, your imagination begins to spiral into the mysterious treasures of the world. Sort of like a more pop-centric Flaming Lips on Yoshimi.
