Roseship Teahouse Share Summer Sleep Single

2 comments

In just over a moth, Roseship Teahouse will be releasing their Fine EP, so they’ve offered us another exciting glimpse at what’s in store on the horizon. Rogers opens up the song, working their vocals over a careful keyboard line, soothing your eardrums with phenomenal melodic notes. Just as the one minute mark ticks, the band joins Rogers, building in this texture with guitar notes that match the keyboards, along with some subtle drumming; Rogers still seals the show, but those added touches make it much more of a group affair. The full Fine EP will be out on December 9th via Big Indie Records.

Seazoo Share Throw It Up

Leave a comment

We were really fortunate to have Seazoo play for us this past year at our last-minute SXSW party; we were treated to an energetic pop set that was equal parts entertaining and catchy. The band just returned with this fresh single, an early hint at what’s to come from their sophomore LP (which should be out early next year). At first you’ll want to give the whole of this number to the guitars and the vocals; they offer the most obvious hook for a listener. But, what I loved about the band, which is apparent here, are the extra little layers; there’s some nice keyboard/synth marks within this number, backing vocals come in at just the right places and the rhythm section might just be the best part! What I’m meaning to say is that this group is a whole lot of fun, and they’ve got the songs to match! If you haven’t already, please go check out Trunks, while we wait for their next LP!

Welsh Lo-Fi Pop from Papur Wal

Leave a comment

I’ve spent a lot of this year relishing in my adoration of Spanish indiepop, but I need to also remember all the various languages should enjoy as much consideration, which is how I’ve stumbled upon Welsh act Papur Wal. On the band’s latest single it’s this odd lo-fi slacker journey, sort of plodding along with indifference; it all seems just like a casual stroll down the street. But, just as you’ve settled in, someone jumps on the pedal and the song blasts off into this world of discordant pop music. It’s a fun twist that adds a nice energetic kick to the tune; the release is being handled by Libertino.

A Rocking Number From Relative Ways

Leave a comment

It’s Monday morning, it’s hot as hell, and it’s time to kick off the week with a little rock n roll to take the edge off. Today my rock music is coming from Aussie Matt Finnemore and his relatively new project known as Relative Ways. For sharing today is his new single “This World” which features several elements of the 90s grunge rock movement combined with a somewhat brighter sound of modern day rock bands like Wavves or Surfer Blood. I love the edge and grit shown by the vocals and the music from Matt.

Relative Ways will release new album Alaska on August 10th.

Poppy Tune from Kidsmoke

Leave a comment

From the instant I pressed play on the new Kidsmoke track, the guitars had won; I had given myself completely to the latest single from the Welsh act. However, while still holding my attention, the cascading guitars were stripped back in lieu of a calming vocal verse. Admittedly, I didn’t expect the high notes to be hit so pristinely, which, when combined with the careful guitar chords that follow later mesmerize listeners; it sort of ends up feeling like a young Teenage Fanclub tune, and you know that will never fail with me.

Seazoo Ready Their Debut Album, Drop New Single

Leave a comment

Having already written about the forthcoming Seazoo album, I’d be remiss if I didn’t drop this new single. While it opens noisily, all things considered, the group settle into a subtle groove, riding guitar lines and shared vocal duties. There’s a noisy little ambling in the song’s mid-point, allowing the group to flex their songwriting chops. But, little keyboard notes trickle in, joined by the male/female vocal duet, crashing down in pure pop fashion, taking us to the song’s end. Another little ditty that pretty much guarantees the band will have a hit on their hands when Dig is released on January 26th.

Jam This New Seazoo Pop Tune

Leave a comment

When I first pressed play, the synth work led me to believe that I was about to embark on a psychedelic journey with Seazoo. But, they quickly take the jam element from the intro, turn into a crisp guitar jam that allows for the dreamy vocal delivery that elevates the band into perfect pop. I like the momentary respite pulling back just before the 2 minute mark, awaiting the band to catch up and stomp their way joyously to the end. The Welsh outfit will be releasing their debut album this November…should be a winner.

Fresh Pop from Seazoo

Leave a comment

You want to meet the next great pop group? Then just listen to Seazoo, and do it today. This song opens up well enough, playfully getting into your ear with a shimmering guitar dancing in the distance. Still, you have to at least make it to the 51st second of the tune, as it’s immediately going to carry you away into a euphoric bliss; I haven’t heard a hook this good in 2017. It’s okay, you’re right to feel uplifted; you’re right to grab your neighbor and celebrate life. Play this song as much as you want, and just wait for more pop from this Welsh bunch…they’re polishing up their debut LP.

Enchanting Guitar Pop from Kidsmoke

Leave a comment

Looks like today’s special is guitar pop, and Kidsmoke are sure to be one of your quick favorites for the day. It doesn’t take long for the song’s vocals to enter the picture, and sweep you away as the guitars dreamily dangle in the distance; it’s almost dreamy, but there’s so much clarity in the recording that you’ll find it hard not to see it as straight-ahead pop music. It kinds of reminds me of our friends in Austin, Shivery Shakes, pulling in some of that sunny West Coast vibes from the guitar lines, while still focusing on the cooling of the vocal display. The band will drop their new EP next month, but for now, just another gem to get your day headed in the right direction.
