Villagerrr Sign on with Winspear

Leave a comment

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

Leave a comment

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

Leave a comment

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

Leave a comment

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.

Winter Releases Misery (featuring Horse Jumper of Love)

Leave a comment

This new effort from Winter was already high upon my anticipation list for the year, but with their latest single, Samira’s got Horse Jumper of Love on board too, illustrating the draw of her powerful songwriting. Over her last several releases I’ve marveled at how the project manages to channel the softer side of bedroom pop while filling it with this upbeat energy that makes your body respond to every little note. HJoL provides the heavy strum that runs through the track, which for me, serves a lot like the traditional rhythm section, with the notes operating more like a continuous drum hit that allows for Winter to blanket the tune in her smoky whisper. Adult Romantix hits on August 22nd via Winspear.

Teethe Release Holy Water

Leave a comment

The title track from Teethe‘s forthcoming Magic of the Sale LP was a banger, and they’re following that up with another powerful single, moving their work to the front of the line in “Must Listens” for the year. It instantly rains down heavy guitars upon the listener, though I can’t help but hear that synth line punctuating and setting up the pop sensibility and Madeline Dowd’s vocals. The chorus combines all the swirling vocals into one magical ball of noise, and the combined vocal effect maintains that syrupy treat at the core. If anyone is perfecting the loud/quiet contrast better than this lot, I haven’t heard it! Their new LP is out August 8th via Winspear.

Fresh Winter Tune + New Album

Leave a comment

I had no idea how big Winter had gotten until I clicked on the link to their new video, and lo and behold, it’s blowing up. That’s not why we’re here though, as we’ve been fans of the act for quite some time. Well, Samira is knocking it out of the park, so the love of this tune’s quite deserved; it’s got a little intro here that opens up just after the 1 minute mark, if you’re looking to skip right to the sugar. I am a huge fan of the way she walks this tightrope in her songwriting, almost jangle pop, though equal parts kind of alt-rock, ready to erupt at any moment. Pair that with the sugary style of the vocals, and well, you can see why she’s blowing up. Her new album, Adult Romantix, is out in August via her new home, Winspear.

Teethe Announce Magic of the Sale

Leave a comment

Been a minute since we heard new music from Texas outfit Teethe, but today there is great news, with the band announcing their next LP, Magic of the Sale, along with the release of the title track. This tune operates with a downtrodden pace, which often gives the band a nod towards slowcore. But, there’s this slight jangle and build from the guitars, creating this delicious melodic center that quietly explodes once you cross the two minute mark. There are these moments when you think the track can just burst, yet the restraint to lock into the groove and let the song just billow on its own makes it the perfect feel. Magic of the Sale will be out this August via Winspear.
