The Orielles Announce Goyt Method EP

One comment

While the Orielles received rave reviews for their last LP, Tableau, you’ve got to hand it to the band for not resting on that, and tossing out what seems like what will be a huge curveball for their fans. They’ve announced the Goyt Method EP, which is essentially selected bits and pieces of Tableau reimagined and turned into brand new tracks. On the first single, it’s almost as if they’re channeling Squarepusher or Aphex Twin in order to construct their own electronic infused pop music. Interestingly, some of the rhythms from their live show still feel as if they’re being captured in this track. Their willingness to take this leap illustrates why all of should be keeping an eye on the Orielles; the new EP is out on May 26th via Heavenly.

TH da Freak Shares Young Bro

Leave a comment

French songwriter Thoineau has a complex and varied discography, but if you were paying attention in 2022, there was a brief 48 hour April Fools release titled Indie Rock. Well, Thoineau, or TH da Freak as he goes by in the music biz, has decided to revisit those old songs and finally get them out into the world. This delicious little pop ditty below is precisely why I’ve been attracted to the artist; there’s some sonic Tony Molina similarities in the voice that provide the natural hooks. Fuzzy guitars with a super lo-fi recording style add the sugar and sprinkles to this pop cookie, so you’re going to want your ears to gobble it up! If you dig, Les Disques du Paradis, Howlin Banana and Flippin Freaks Records will all help get Indie Rock back into the world on June 16th.

Black Thumb Share Walk on By Video

Leave a comment

While you might want to get into a little hump day action, listening to Black Thumb might actually allow you to reset your mind; the project’s newest single is them contemplative piece of slowed pop that completely lets you just soak in its musical waters. Light synths and maracas (or other shaker type) creates the song’s foundation, letting Colin Wilde’s casually play into the experience. At times, the song seems to kind of blossom and grow, though the meditative state keeps the somber mood even as the kaleidoscope of colors flash before your eyes. Love what Black Thumb brings to the table, so I’m excited to hear the entirety of The Flying Propeller Group, out on April 28th via Dandy Boy Records.

Expensive Music Band Drop Enigmatic Times Video

Leave a comment

When I listen to Expensive Music Band I always find something that feels really unique, amidst all the various touchstones to the pop stylings I generally adore. For instance, this new song plays with a lot of different vocal tones, whether that’s the delivery of the notes or just the tonal changes altogether; it feels like there’s some intriguing dynamism like you’d find on a Dan Bejar record. Musically, the song gets filled in with smooth bits of dreamy pop notes, texturized with washes of synth and bits of R&B swing that add a level of exuberance to the track’s trance-inducing structure. They will be releasing Things to Say at a Barbecue via Exclusive Culture/Permanent Slump on Jun 16th!

Being Dead Announce When Horses Would Run

Leave a comment

We here at ATH have been championing Austin’s most captivating band for some time; I screamed it so loud I put out a Being Dead 7″, and I hope you heard because the band are ready for breaking out with their new LP. Of all the songs on this album, those that are first being introduced to the band will surely get a feel for the group’s vibe. They fill their sets with classic hooks, vocal duets, breakdowns, improvisation plus more, and you get the entirety of that feel if you listen from start to finish. Ultimately, they’re like the supreme house band for Sour Patch Kids; they’re sweet and sour and incredibly lovable. I promise you when I say you’ll be adding When Horses Would Run to your LP collection; it drops July 14th via the Bayonet.

Pardoner Announce Peace Loving People

Leave a comment

Pardoner dropped Came Down Different in 2021, receiving tons of great reviews, deservedly, and I hear even more praise coming for their new album, Peace Loving People. This fresh banger is certain to catch on with the kids, as the distortion rings appropriately, supported by these huge power pop rock riffs and these lackadaisical vocal lines delivered in a haphazard manner. But, it’s all a set up. Just as the song seems to sedate the listener, it rips into action at the 1:36 mark, tearing through your speakers with this terrorizing rage of bombast and speed; you’re likely going to be shocked at the dramatic switch, but you’ll be better off for it! The new LP is out on June 23rd via Bar None Records,with a big old tour kicking off the first week in July throughout the US of A.

Snooper Announces Super Snooper LP

Leave a comment

I would like to formally apologize to Snooper as we’re currently too cheap to pay for the tilde key on general posts. But, I won’t apologize for my love of the band, who I raved about having caught a few delicious SXSW sets. They donned windbreaker tracksuits, which, having now heard the single from their debut LP, makes complete sense, as I’d like congratulate the band on being the first athleti-punks. Sure, other groups have played frantic tunes, but here, you feel as if you’re running full steam; the rhythm’s punishingly furious, and the vocals are like sharp inhales as your body begins to lose oxygen. Those guitar lines dashing through are like bonus points you get each time you pass someone on your way to a musical victory. I can’t wait until we get to hear the whole of Super Snooper, out July 14th via Third Man Records.

My Favorite x Holy Wire — Remix + Interview

Late last year, My Favorite released the Tender is the Nightshift EP, which featured the standout tune, “Blues for Planet X.” Little did we know that the artist behind the music had other ideas in plan, including a remix by Austin musician Holy Wire, as well as a getting to know you piece from both the artists. They reached out to ask us if we’d be inclined to share, and of course we jumped at the chance! So, if you’re looking for your everyday Bandcamp stream, you can jump right HERE.

Special Friend Announce Wait Until the Flames Come Rushing In

Leave a comment

What happens when you get three great indie labels together to release a new LP? Well, if you ask me, bringing Skep Wax, Howlin’ Banana, and Hidden Bay all together to release a new LP from Special Friend, then you’ve got the guarantee of a solid batch of songs. Our first listen is the hypnotic tune below, working with this guitar shuffle that circles beneath the surface of dual vocal work. There’s something in the way the guitar feels like its rushing you forwards that’s thrown in juxtaposition to what’s the melodic overlapping from the vocals. In a way, it sort of sounds like something Sonic Youth would have put out if they were into lo-fi indie pop…warranting a positive nod on my end of things! We’ll give you more updates on the release date of Wait Until the Flames Come Rushing In when we’ve got em’.

Beach Fossils Share Dare Me Video

Leave a comment

With their first single from Bunny, Beach Fossils seemed to have picked up right where they left off on their last LP. But, now that we’ve got the second single, it appears as if they’r painting with more of a broad pop paint brush. Honestly, (and I mean this in the absolute best way) the song sounds a bit like Beach Fossils went down a deep Photo Album era Death Cab listening trance whilst recording this record. That chorus feels exactly like the early Ben Gibbard days when you just couldn’t get those songs out of your head, only this time it’s done with just a bit more of that angular vibe Beach Fossils bring to their own craft. There’s more warmth here, even in the drum work, so everything feels aligned to this huge pop stance. I’m excited to hear where songs like this fit into Bunny; it drops via Bayonet on June 2nd.
