Major Murhphy Share Like a Wrecking Ball

When the heavier strum of the guitar gets locked in on this new Major Murphy tune, there is something that happens to your soul; it’s a subtle little hook, but the sort that pulls you deep inside the tune. Once they’ve got your attention, they take their Americana vibes and begin to flesh out the background by layering backing vocals and sliding guitar to stretch the song to the horizon. The perks of this tune is that you can also hear a demo version accompanying the single, giving off a super stripped down version of the tune, equally as intoxicating. This tune is brought to courtesy of Winspear.

Runo Plum Delivers Another Gem

There’s very few great records remaining on the release schedule for 2025, but one we’d like you to give your attention to is runo plum; she just shared one final single from her debut LP this morning. Opening with a careful strum and a whispered melody, the tune seems quietly personal, which is one of the various ways the various ways you’ll find yourself enchanted on the tune below. If you listen carefully, a light cymbal shimmers around the 27 second mark, and the strum begins to take on more force, all of it blossoming into striking pop euphoria around the 44 second mark. From that moment on you’re smitten, and you’ll find yourself wandering over to Winspear to grab a copy before next Friday’s official LP release of Patching.

Enjoy More Jams From The Convenience

New Orleans based duo The Convenience shared their stunning album entitled Like Cartoon Vampires this past spring and you should definitely give that one some time if you have yet to do so. You should also pick up a physical copy if you’re feeling it, just saying. This is of course a news site, so outside of my prior fandom, the band just shared this new track today called “Angel.” It’s truly a lovely bit of songwriting in a sort of Americana vein with a delicate, yet still driving and powerful, touch. Definitely one of my top bands of the year. Stay tuned.

Villagerrr Share Another Bonus Track

The benefits of compiling a deluxe edition of a popular record are that you get a chance to try on a few new songs, maybe even a new feeling or two as you look towards your next release. We here get to reap the rewards of the Deluxe Edition of Villagerrr‘s Tear Your Heart Out. On this brand new single, I was all over that guitar line; it could work as a striking ballad, or the opening to something even heavier, and I think the tune plays with both sentiments. Mark Scott’s voice has this folky melancholy to it, but the track takes the quiet and flexes it out with a bit more boisterousness…and for someone who jams a lot of tunes…this is the sort of risk that always pays off. You can grab the Deluxe Edition of the LP on October 10th from Winspear.

Villagerrr Sign on with Winspear

Earlier this week I mentioned the crushing of indie rock beneath the feet of Winspear; they’re the label behind Winter and Teethe, and they’ve just added another ATH fave to their roster, agreeing to work with Villagerrr to reissue a Deluxe Edition of Tear Your Heart Out. I didn’t think they could really improve upon the original LP, but they’ve gone and added 5 new/unreleased jams for the deluxe edition, including this sweet jam we’ve got hanging out below. It’s a light little number, an area where Mark Allen Scott excels, though he gets a little help from a friend as Feeble Little Horse‘s Lydia Slocum provides an excellent vocal duet role, making me wonder what else could the band have in-store for those other four tracks. Guess we’ll all find out when it the Deluxe Edition hits on October 10th!

Winter Share Hide-A-Lullaby Video

I hope you all are keeping an eye on Winspear, as the label has had their hands in some of the great indie rock coming our way this year. Last week they dropped the new Teethe LP, and today, they’re sharing a brand new tune from the forthcoming Winter LP. This tune features Samara excelling at the trade between the various degrees of her sound, using a grittier jangled guitar line to drive the rhythm while percussive samples echo in the back of the mix. But, then, just as it goes in one direction, the tune pulls back, clears out some of the nuanced noise for a brief moment to build the hook to its apex, then unleash it all again, crashing into the listener. Plus, the vocal work is shared this round with Tanukichan, so we all win here. Adult Romantix is dropping on August 22nd!

Lutalo Celebrate The Academy Deluxe Edition with Cracked Lip

What better way to celebrate the one year anniversary of your debut album than by throwing in a few new tracks and re-imaginings of the original? Well, Lutalo and his label Winspear are doing just that, and the track below is brand new to all of us! I love how the liner notes acknowledge an adoration for Rob Crow, which is something that I adore, not to mention notice every time I listen to the guitar lines. The little melodic wiggle at the 1:18 mark adds a nice little textural touch, as does some of the more spoken vocal deliveries. If you’re into grabbing the new LP, the Academy Deluxe Edition is out on September 19th.

Teethe Share Push You Forever

Ugh. This new song from Teethe is just dripping with warmth. At first, the guitars bending felt very much like the group was embracing the history of their home in Texas, but the sentiment is stretched beyond those in the way the vocals are delivered. It feels like slow-core majesty, that is until you cross the two-minute mark where the song opens up and displays the band’s range. It creates this beautiful sadness, melodically encouraging you to look towards the horizon, awaiting the first glimpse of sunshine in your life. Such a moving tune and one that continues to put the group’s forthcoming Magic of the Sale LP on a “must have” list; Winspear drops the record on August 8th.

Runo Plum Signs to Winspear

Winspear is on a roll label-wise, riding fresh on their signing of the new Winter album, they’ve now announced that they’ll be working with Runo Plum. Along with the excellent news, there’s a brand new single, with a track that dwells on the concept of community and friendship, which seems ever more important in today’s landscape. Musically, it’s the sort of folk-adjacent brand that made hue stars out of Angel Olsen and Sharon Van Etten; I love the vocals here though, living in this more ethereal climate that encourages the sense of longing that courses through the track. There’s a slew of European tour dates coming up for the artist, but get ready to hear this name quite a bit in the next year.

Winter Shares Without You

Admittedly, you’re probably sincerely tired of hearing bedroom pop this and bedroom pop that, but if there’s one record on the horizon that I think will be perfect for those nights alone with the record on, it’s this new Winter. If you listen to the way it’s set up on the latest single, it’s got a very light stroke, with Samira’s voice drenching the track in this heavy melody that consistently encompasses my brain’s interpretation of ethereal. Every little bit of the mix just works perfectly, and each time I press play, I don’t want to take my headphones out for fear that the magic will disappear. I bet you’re going to feel the same, so be sure to order Adult Romantix via Winspear before its August 22nd release date.
