Hand Habits – Enough
Happened upon these by accident, and got a bit hypnotized by them. The Nameless Lust EP by Albany’s Hard Habits has already been out in the world for a year, so not brand spanking new, but time doesn’t...
View ArticleFour Visions – Quit
And for as divisive as that last post probably was, I’ll bet this one’s the opposite. Instantly likable, and easy to close your eyes and drift away to. Be sure to listen to both below. PROMISE ME!
View ArticleHazy Nights – Nights
Everyone discovers music differently, so finding someone who’s as obsessive about it as I am about it is a real rarity (and I don’t mean that in a pat-myself-on-the-back kinda way – it’s a disease,...
View ArticleMdnt – 1v1
The follow-up to Mdnt’s amazing debut from earlier this summer. Produced by The Theorist.
View ArticleDreamshow – Chasing Control
This band’s new demo is not good, but this one is. Can’t win em all!
View ArticleIntroducing | Fat Heaven
We all need big football chant choruses in our lives once in a while (to help affirm that it’s worth living, amongst other reasons). And so we offer you this fine bit of snotty, sneery, yet organized,...
View ArticleLittle Sur – Ache
We are definitely partial to a bit of Crosby, Stills & Nash style harmonizing around here, at any and all times, so this bit of sweetness was right up our alley. Has a bit of a ’70s AM radio vibe,...
View ArticleKlozapin – %
Both these songs are so mf-ing good I can’t stand it. Don’t know how I only just found this band, though I really have no clue where Oneonta is…
View ArticleDoubting Thomas Cruise Control – $10 ATM
I love how American this sounds. Taken from Fleeting Youth’s very daunting (but good) 33-track Fuzz Fucked comp.
View ArticleGirls With Bangs – Molly (I Want You)
This sounds like some lost Stevie Nicks demo from back in the day, seriously (heard a few of those, and yeah, this is what they sound like). It has that sedated, lost, ‘no you guys go on, I’ll just sit...
View ArticleFrozenboy – Stretch Arms Strong
Frozenboy has so many songs on his Soundcloud that listening to them all has taken me pretty much the entire day. The fact that half of them are exceptionally good didn’t help in getting me through...
View ArticleAbsolute Mess – Ruin You
A couple of really pretty, sparse demos from Madeline of Drug Pizza (featured yesterday).
View ArticleSexy Teenagers – Bad Ass Song
Look What This Cheesecake Has Done To Us is the title of Sexy Teens’ album that came out back in July – if you need any more listening incentive than that, well…I really can’t help ya. Gotta admit,...
View ArticleSecret Pizza – Sludge
Everything on this EP (save track 3, maybe) is so good, I had to put the whole thing below – too hard to pick. There’s a lot of variety between songs too (alternating vocals, for one), so even more...
View ArticleSkirts – Pink Hair
How do I know I’m a grown up? I’m listening to a song called “Pink Hair” on repeat. Only interrupted by “Ghee.” And “Halal Cart.” And I have no regrets. Such a good EP. Listen to the whole thing!
View ArticleFlout – Rocky
These songs come from Flout’s (aka “J Derosso’s”) excellent new 14-minute album, Gims. Not only is the songwriting superb – it was recorded entirely on an iPhone. You can find him on Soundcloud here.
View ArticleThe Jeanies – Her Flesh
Not much to say about this album that hasn’t already been said in every rave review: “Not to be missed…tender songwriting, genius countermelodies and just enough vintage flair…power pop will continue...
View ArticleFranny & Zooey – For Arlincita
Sometimes, I don’t hate twee (!), and this is one of those instances.
View ArticleSEO – Noise Machine
Like so many of our favorite finds from last year, SEO wasn’t one we can actually take credit for – he found us (submission) – and it was love at first listen. Here are two favorites from him (also an...
View ArticleLazyeyes – Windowsill
Lazyeyes’ “Darling Dear” was one of Hope’s favorite songs of last year, and I really liked it too. This week they unleashed the full EP – favorites below!
