Far Caspian Shares Arbitrary Task

Leave a comment

Joel Johnston is on his way to SXSW with his project, Far Caspian, and if we’re judging by the response to his latest single, then there’s certainly going to be a lot of buzz swirling about here. This new single hits somewhere in the vein of modern acts like Dummy and Peel Dream Magazine, building in these synthetic layers that mingle with driving guitar notes, all of wrapped tightly around this delicate melody at the core of the track. Me personally, I love the brevity of it; it’s like a quick little taste of what Joel has in store when a full-length is finally in the works.

Es Share Swallowed Whole Video

Leave a comment

A few years back I raved about Es; they were a band that felt like they made post-punk dangerous again, almost frightening. Now that they’ve announced a fresh EP, its nice to see the band hasn’t lost their tenacity; this song opens up with a mixture of growling rhythm and howling vocals. To a degree, the song sounds like a death march of sorts, albeit punctuated by little melodic notes from the synth work so as to avoid hurling us down the cavernous depths of the band’s heavier side. Vicious and clever; I’m looking forward to the Fantasy EP; it drops on April 7th via Upset the Rhythm.

Expensive Music Band Share RNR Cliche

Leave a comment

Those in the Aussie scene surely know of Troon Lienard, an outsider pop artists for some time, but for those not hip to his work, we’re bringing new of fresh tunes from Expensive Music Band to you all today. Troon’s joined by a who’s who of the underground scene overseas, fleshing out the core of this tune with this insatiable little bob and weave. As many things Troon’s been spinning, there’s a wry sense of humor, with this song taking aim at the trope of the glamorous rock n’ roll lifestyles (nee RNR). Take that DIY ethos, a fashionable sense of pop, then throw it in with a pinch of quirkiness and a heady groove, and you’ve got the hit below…all courtesy of Permanent Slump/Exclusive Culture.

Lachlan Denton Shares You Video

Leave a comment

It seems like today is as good a day as any to spend our time in the Oceanic region of Australia, especially when there’s new music to be heard from Lachlan Denton. Long has he been adored songwriter on this site, but with his forthcoming album, Furnishings, on the horizon, there seems to be this acceptance and maturity in his craft. For instance, atop the buoyant vibe of the music, Denton weaves a promise of finding comfort in the ones you love and riding out whatever storms may approach; it’s not going to be filled with sunshine and rainbows, but you whatever end we all meet should be done with friends. It’s good to see friends Snowy and Curtis also make an appearance in the video, a seeming documentary on a day in the life of Lach. And as he’s done with his tunes of late, there’s a nice punch burst just after the two minute mark. Furnishings drops on April 14th via Bobo Integral/Spunk/Osborne Again.

Terry Drop New Video for Gronks

Leave a comment

As we await the release of the new Terry LP, we’ll have to make do with the fresh singles they sprinkle in the interim. Their latest single reminds me of that late 90s/early 00s era of indie rock, particularly in the way the horns are used to buoy the rhythmic bounce at the song’s center; it frankly reminds me a bit of Beulah, bringing in a bit of fuzz and groove to the indie sphere. Of course, Terry have a unique manner of delivering the vocals, so that aids in the way the group crafts their hook for listeners. Call Me Terry will hit on April 14th via Upset the Rhythm.

Feeble Little Horse Announce Girl with Fish

Leave a comment

After the deserved success for Modern Tourism, Feeble Little Horse has been on a meteoric rise, at least when it comes into the indie sphere. There’s something refreshing about the band’s approach, as they’ve been quoted as saying “anything that makes us laugh or keep a smile on our faces, we usually keep in the songs.” To me, that’s what makes the band fun, they’re doing it for the camaraderie, for the joy of creating art together, and that shines through on this new track, as there’s an organic nature to the way they switch back and forth between vibes, throwing in the odd little guitar line tickle here and there for emphasis. They release Girl with Fish via Saddle Creek on May 27th.

RVG Announce Brain Worms + Share New Single

Leave a comment

I’ve been high upon RVG since I first stumbled upon A Quality of Mercy, and now that there’s officially a new record on the calendar, I’m ramping up my support once again. Based upon this first single, the group seems to have picked up where Feral left us, taking giant steps into huge anthemic pop rock, with just a few more hints at some sheen and polish coming through on the new record’s first single. The guitars drive the tune forward, but you can clearly hear the passion in Romy’s vocals, which I can’t wait to hear when its live at this year’s SXSW festival; it’s one of the things that makes this band so captivating. Really stoked to hear where Brain Worms takes; it drops in June via Fire Records.

H. Hawkline Shares Empty Room

Leave a comment

Clearly, I’ve been obsessing with H. Hawkline leading into the release of the new Milk for Flowers LP, and with the release a few weeks away, Huw Evans and company have dropped their one final track. This one stretches the ornate, orchestral craft of the project, allowing Evans to deliver his most powerful vocal performance to date, with the added bonus of a bump to his acting resume too! I just love the cinematic nature of what the group are crafting, building this natural escape in their striking soundscapes. Milk for Flowers is out on March 10th via Heavenly Recordings, and I’m hoping it delivers on all the promises these singles have made.

Gregory Uhlmann Shares Again and Again

Leave a comment

Something in this season is really bringing me into more drawn out sounds, thus I’m enjoy the piece that Gregory Uhlmann has just released. His musicianship should come as no surprise, as he’s already been on the road working with Hand Habits and Perfume Genius…but he’s taking notes from Cate le Bon and Low on this tune. The tune, like the title, has this cyclical nature to it; it works slowly, almost dragging you along in the first vocal verse. Then, as if a switch was flicked on, the tune begins a more forceful jaunt, one that feels more like spinning you about on some magical tilt-a-whirl, just hinting at the study of pop. And yet, it spins back again, back to the plodding before jumping right back towards the twirl, “again and again.” If you enjoy what you hear, it’s the title track to Gregory’s new album, Again and Again, out on April 28th via Northern Spy Records.

Blues Lawyer Drop Make Up Video

Leave a comment

I immediately fell in love with the pounding rhythm of the latest Blues Lawyer hit, set as the background against this perfect crystalline pop vocal. Once it hooked me, it didn’t let go, adding in a little bit of extra sweetness by tossing in these dual vocal harmonies as the guitars go jangle in an almost 80s cinematic fashion. It’s a whole lot of fun, played best at high volumes, and they top it off with a nice little homage to Monty Python for the visual accompaniment. If you’re not listening to Blues Lawyer, you’re not doing it right; their new LP All in Good Time is out on Friday via Dark Entries.
