Mr Lunge
Heavy Golden Swim
Brace Yourself Records
Weirdly Wonderful, Wonderfully weird.
Tops
Perfected Steps
Empty Seats EP Out Now
Got me with their Carpenters sounds and Rhodes Pian-ah on this trackeroni
The Queen’s Head
Your God Owes You Money
Out Now on Speedy Wunderground
Sorta sounds like drugs learned to make music.
American Football
Fade Into You
Rare Symetry/Fade Into You June 10 on Big Scary Monsters
Fresh Take on a classic.
Cola
Water Table
Deep in View Out May 20 on Fire Talk
A melancholic hook and subdued urgency that reminded us of Elliot Smith
Porridge Radio
The Rip
Water Slide, Diving Board, Ladder to the Sky out May 20 on Secretly Canadian
Dug the Theremin on this track and the vocals reminiscent of Rexy
The Clockworks
Enough is Never Enough
Out Now on It’s Creation Baby
Dunno why, but it caught our eye. So we’re going to point a finger at The Clockworks, guess which one?
Decisions
Nixer
People Feel – Out May 27 on Blowtorch Records
We really like this, it’s nitty gritty. It’s a bunch of different things slamming into each other like when Gomez would throw the signal and crash his trains. Only this works.
Park Motive
Undark
Out Now On Spinny Nights
Not usually our type of thing but credit where credit is due. Enjoyed watching and listening to the song reach critical mass. Tighten that chain though and pump those tyres though.
Keg
Kids
Girders EP Out September 2 Via Alcopop! Records / BMG
Hold the Sweaty Spaghetti Freddie. Shit shit shit kids. We love it.
Echo Beach
Am I Dreaming?
Out Now
A little poppy for our tastes, but curious enough to sneak through. Your thoughts?
Tan Cologne
Topaz Wave
Album Due Soon – Labrador Records
Solid shoegazey dream pop. Pretty good intro to the new Duo from New Mexico.
Desire
Black Latex
Out Now – Italians Do It Better
We saw Desire open for Chromatics (RIP), backed by Italians Do It Better, they never let’s us down.
Cola
Degree
Deep in View Out May 20 on Fire Talk
It’s got Squid vibes, nothing wrong with that.
The Americans
Stand True
Stand True Out Now on Loose
If you’re a fan of Bruce Springsteen, John Mellencamp or The White Stripes this LA Rock Trio might be for you.
