Kluster Shares New Single, Wild

Swedish act Kluster got a lot of time on this site back in 2018 with the release of their Civic LP…and now they’ve got a brand new single to share. This number definitely shows the band’s songwriting approach, filling in the track with these little twists and turns that take you on little jaunts within the tune itself. Guitars and fuzz weave in and out, but personally, I’m really taken by the build that occurs just after the 3 minute mark; the group vocals quietly rise until the guitars crash in and out noisily before a nice pop wash coats the top and draws the song towards its close. Give it a listen, won’t you.

New Music from Molly Burch

It’s never a bad day for a Molly Burch tune, especially as she’s just announced her second LP is coming our way in October. This new track opens up with this sparse bit of instrumentation, allowing light guitars to twinkle amidst the percussion. Once the song moves along, Burch’s vocals take on the sublime and the guitar is ever-present; I like the tones operating here, particularly the cosmic leaning guitar chords. Her new album is titled First Flower, and it’s slated for an October 5th release via Captured Tracks…not to mention a huge tour including a post at ACL Festival.

Fairly Late To The Party: Circles/Waves

screen-shot-2016-10-10-at-9-57-09-pmEvery now and then, when patrolling the internets for new tracks to share, you come across something that’s not particularly new, but it’s so exciting and good that you feel compelled to spread the word– such is the case with Brooklyn based trio, Circles/Waves. The first song I heard from them snagged my attention, and it’s the song I’ve included in the post below. “Inside Out (Demo)” showcases the hauntingly beautiful vocals of Claire Lorenzo that just glide along atop the pleasing blend of folk instrumentation. If you’re liking what you’re hearing here, then you should swing by over here and check out the EP that the band released earlier in the year. Also be on the lookout for more from this group, as it looks like they’re recording a full length.

Trudy and the Romance Get “Wild”

trudyandtheromanceA few months ago, I discovered the goodness that is the 50s nost-pop that is Trudy and the Romance. Hailing from Liverpool, this group of gentlemen make a certain type of pop that seems destined for summer time listening. They’ve got a new single called “Wild,” which is below, and it’s got an infectious choral hook that you’ll be singing along to in no time. The vocals are raw and of the gang variety, while the guitar parts are loose and go where the song takes them, meanwhile the bass line is positively groovy, making you start the track from the start not long after it’s over.
