Corvair Share Moon Was a Bowl Video

Leave a comment

Over yonder in Portland, Corvair have quietly been making a name for themselves as masters of great pop tunes. The duo are set to release Bound to Be next Friday, so they’ve offered up one more little treat that should have you on board. There’s a steady brood to the group’s pop vibes, particularly in this song, almost as if its just quietly creeping through your speakers. But, when they hit the chorus, there’s this shimmer, this glowing ember of melody that you just can’t shake; it opens up the track into this wider expanse that keeps me coming back. Bound to Be drops June 23rd, so you’ve been warned!

Fleur Bleu E Prep Debut Album, Share Single

Leave a comment

If you find yourself drifting a bit today, then might I suggest you dive into this new track from Parisian outfit Fleur Bleu E, accompanying the announcement of their debut LP. Almost instantly you’re steeped in this almost ambient vocal; it’s as if you’re ears are being caressed ever so carefully from the inside. It’s likely we’d probably file this under dream pop, but the way that it creates this cinematic vibration seems to supersede the genre…could just be me. Anyways, escapist pop music is at its best here, so keep an eye out for Unrequited Love this Fall via Pan European Recordings.

Rubber Blanket Share Rainbow Bridge; Prep Our Fault

Leave a comment

If someone were to tell you that Rubber Blanket was made up of members of the Intelligence and Wounded Lion, would you be interested? What if I were to tell you the band create a sound that falls somewhere in the area between Liars and Blank Dogs? Well, the group have just announced the release of their new album, dropping this demented bit of synthetic pop music that feels like it was constructed by AI…in the best way of course. A buzzing pulse warbles its way into your ears as the haunt of the vocals offer up a reminder of the various colors in the rainbow. Perhaps its not your everyday listen, but that makes us all the better for it. They’ll release Our Fault on June 29th via Mt. St. Mtn.

Spice World Share Video for Time Time Turn Around

Leave a comment

I really hope you are not one of those sleeping on Spice World‘s great new LP, There’s No I In Spice World; it’s easily one of my Top 5 Records of this year, and I keep discovering new gems around every corner. One of the album’s briefest tracks, coming in under one minute, just got a really great animated video treatment that I wanted to use to remind you to check out the band’s music. For me, there’s something in the frivolity of this tune that reminds me of some of the earlier stuff from the Clean or perhaps the Vaselines, sharp and playful until the very minute. If you’re digging on it, you can grab the record from Meritorio.

Stunning Single from Wombo

Leave a comment

I have to own up to putting Wombo in a very specific box, while admittedly adoring the contents of that box. But, their new single is so striking and offers a glimpse at where the band might go in the future after the release of their Slab EP on Friday. For starters, the song’s percussive element is unsettling in a manner; it’s almost like a rhythmic mantra running the same beats to leave this vast expanse out their for Sydney’s vocals. On Fairy Rust, her voice took on the very in-fashion indifferent approach, sort of spoken delivery. Here, however, the song just shimmers and shines, churning out this dreamy melody that seduces you through every second, while also bringing up this magical fragility. The Slab EP is brought to us courtesy of Fire Talk.

Shady Bug Share Zero Expectations

Leave a comment

Sometimes you have to have sounds working against each other, creating friction in order to come to terms with something magical, which is sort of my description for the latest single from Shady Bug. Bending guitar lines leave the listener tense once they’ve pressed play; they have this carnival-esque nature to them that toys with a darkness that’s unsettling. But, then Hannah Rainey comes right into the picture with this sweetness that takes the song into this playful territory. It gives you a hook and an edge, and personally, leaves you wishing there was a whole lot more where that came from. Luckily, the band are dropping their What’s the Use EP on June 30th via Exploding in Sound.

Chopper Drop Touch Video

Leave a comment

My brain is running amok today, leaving me musically all over the place. So why not work this new dance track from Denmark’s Chopper into the mix? Jonatan Magnussen is working towards the release of Shockpop Vol. 1, and you can hear him pushing his sound with a little vocal help from singer Ama May. There’s something nostalgic in this sound, like old school club bangers, getting you all worked up and sweaty on the dancefloor. May’s performance has this little bit of coyness, like a secret wink between the listener. It’s just a freeing little dance-pop number to kind of get your spirits up in the middle of the day.

The Lost Days Share Gonna Have to Tell You

Leave a comment

I felt like you deserved a treat in the middle of your week, so I opted for this nice little track from the Lost Days, which is the project of Sarah Rose Janko and Tony Molina. Earlier this year, the duo dropped their stellar album In the Store via Speakeasy Studios SF, and now we’ve got the video treatment for “Gonna Have to Tell You.” In this track, you can hear how Sarah is the perfect accompaniment for Tony Molina; his songwriting doesn’t seems perfectly suited for her, and if I’m honest, they seem to share some tonal similarities…so it’s all the more charming. Grab a copy HERE.

Obligatory Teenage Fanclub Post

Leave a comment

Yesterday there was news that Teenage Fanclub would be releasing a fresh record, and since I’m late to the party and you likely already heard the single, we’ll start our day here. Now, perhaps this is a bit of a stretch, but as someone who was raised by a hippie, this feels like this is the Grateful Dead season of the band. The melodies, which have always been brilliant, seem to take on this more almost pastoral sensation, with the whole group sort of riding on this locomotive rhythm guitar. Sure, there’s the lead guitar sliding in here and there in its own slithery manner, but I promise you, if you slid this track in a remastered version of Workingman’s Dead, it wouldn’t be out of place. Their new album, Nothing Lasts Forever, is out on 9.22 via Merge Records.

Twine Share My God Single

Leave a comment

Please do not let those gentle string pieces opening this Twine track fool you; there’s a danger lurking, hanging just on the edge of those discordant guitar licks in the background. Listening to this Aussie outfit reminds me of this sort of sweet spot between Frightened Rabbit and Cursive; it has this quality that borders on both strikingly beautiful and explosive at the same time. But, just as easily as they can explode through your speakers, they can pull it all back and keep the vibe succinct so you’re constantly being pulled bag and forth, like a tug-o-war between light and dark. You know, just another exciting outfit from Australia, courtesy of Kitty Records.
