Rose Mercie Share Sweet Place Video

Leave a comment

I’m still pulling for Rose Mercie‘s new album to make some waves in the US this go round, and maybe this new single will do the trick for some folks. Obviously, the song flirts with the darkened corners of pop music, but I like the way it sort of manipulates the pace to work against our modern expectations. In a way, the drums roll across, but they seem to sort of bob and weave there, and the vocals ride that wave, like a lost ship at sea. In terms of the vocals, I love how there are added textural vocal layers added as the song progresses, adding a certain fullness to what’s at play in the song. Their new album Kieres Agua will be released by Jelodanti and Celluloid Lunch next week!

Austin’s Marry Cherry Share New Video

Leave a comment

Austin’s got a history of some read psychedelic sounds, from the 13th Floor Elevators to the Black Angels, and it looks like Marry Cherry are aiming to take back into the darkness from whence it came. Their latest single is this heavy video of live footage, edited by Andy Ray Lemon with some crazy visuals to melt your brain. Their sound is definitely on the heavier side of the genre, playing more with these horror riffs that tower over you as the vocals take on that cavernous howl from beneath the foggy mixture. This is the band’s debut single, so be on the lookout as their sure to be making waves with this brand of noisy psych.

Ben Woods Shares Hovering at Home Video

Strangely, as the summer comes, which is usually my heavy jam season, I’ve been mellowing, looking for more moving pieces, like this Ben Woods track. Ben just announced a new LP titled Dispeller, and I’m totally awe-struck by this lead single. It’s a combination of bedroom strumming and sampled noise used to structurally build the sound. There’s this slight tonal shift that gets me every time he drops it in; he’ll deliver two lines, then twist the tone into this slightly more melodic charm. Plus, every time the song builds into cacophony, it all seems to make perfect sense, only raising the bar on the modern trends of songwriting. Dispeller is out in July via Shrimper/Melted Ice Cream/Meritorio.

Haunted Summer Share Camera Video

There’s something about the tinkering of the piano keys in this Haunted Summer track that immediately grabbed me and drew me into the tune. It was there I found the dreamy notes of Bridgette Moody floating through the track like the reminiscent memories and nostalgia that influenced the writing of this tune (according to the band!). A light strum centers the track, tethered to the light bounce of the percussion and the hazy edges of the atmospherics as the track traipses along. This gem of a tune features on the group’s new album, Whole, which drops on June 20th via LaunchLeft.

Yawners Drop Brand New Single, Honey

Leave a comment

In the first week of May, there will be a new Yawners LP out on the streets, and I’m totally in love with the band’s latest single, dropping before they hit up their European tour. Singer Elena Nieto wrote the track in English, then in Spanish, and now we’ve got a version that combines the two. Musically, this song hits you right in the pop punk gut, energetic and carefree from the instant you press play. There’s also a moment in this that feels like they’ve turned Glen Hasnard’s “Falling Slowly” into a pop rock tune (let me know if you hear it too, or if I’m loco!). Duplo, the new LP, will be out on May 6th via Big Scary Monsters.

Say Sue Me Drop To Dream Video

Leave a comment

I love the sentiment of this new Say Sue Me track, with Sumi saying “I dreamed everyone was alive, and I came to think that there might be no end. One day everyone will come back and meet somewhere.” That feeling sort of pervades throughout the song, as the guitar work slightly dances in the mix, but the track seems to kind of flow back and forth like waters washing ashore during a calm in the sea. Something about it just feels nostalgic and reflective, but when the middle hits and the distorted guitar rips through the tune, it feels like the sun breaks in and shines that light where we all find ourselves as one, somewhere. The group release The Last Thing Left on May 13th via Damnably.

Guy Capecelatro III Shares Video for Wake

Leave a comment

Since hitting upon Guy Capecelatro III last week, I feel like I stumbled upon a goldmine I didn’t know I needed in my life; I’ve been devouring his back catalogue non-stop since that point. But, as I was being introduced to Guy, he was dropping another track from his next album. This song’s striking, if only for its grand emotive quality while still seeming fairly stripped down to the basics of the craft. There’s a beautiful backing vocal that almost feels like an added instrument at times, joining up with Guy for the chorus. But, other than a light percussive element, the song’s all vocals and strum and power. Heading North Again is out April 29th via Dromedary Records.

That New Tim Burgress Tune

Leave a comment

I generally try to avoid tracks that hit more than 1k streams on the ole YouTube; I just figured there’s another band that needs my small voice. That being said, when two things happened when listening to this track from Tim Burgess; it’s actually just one thing, me and Tim meeting in the middle. As soon as I played the track, I got transported to my youth where I was spending a lot of time with what was coming out of Britain, the Charlatans being among that lot; it was a feeling radiating from the track, something emotionally pulling on me. So, I read the press release and Tim’s quotes as saying “it’s a simple song, and it’s a feeling more than anything.” Me and Tim, tied together by a mutual feeling and a really incredible pop song. Just enjoy it.

Erasers Share Easy to See

Leave a comment

Seeing that Constant Connection is out next week, this is likely the last single we get before the new Erasers record drops in our laps. While earlier tunes had this sort of heartbeat, “Easy to See” appears to be more reflective, almost like the final drops in the sink after you’ve turned off the faucet. Rebecca’s voice, while melodic, feels very much like this intoxicating mantra, more spoken then sung. The tune is the perfect to close out their album, looking back on all they’ve created, while also looking back on all we’ve created. Constant Connection drops on April 22nd via Night School/Fire Talk.

Guy Capecelatro III Shares Splinters Video

Leave a comment

Maine’s Guy Capecelatro III wasn’t on my radar until I read the story about how he gathered about 30 musicians into an old gymnasium to complete a collective folk record back in 2012. That album made it to light, but now, there were apparently a slew of songs that didn’t make the original cut, and will now be released into the wild courtesy of Dromedary Records. There’s something special going on in the songwriting, and I’m a sucker for deep arrangements and how cacophony can be molded into beauty. Guy’s voice is special too, almost taking in this sort of post-hardcore feel, despite being generally built upon calmed melodies. The new collection, titled Heading North Again, will be out on April 29th.
