Frontier Ruckus – I’m Not The Boy

On The Northern Line out now via Loose Music Records

Nonchalance purpose in this tune.

Mother Out March 22 Via Therapy/Because Music

Reminds me of the cool coffee lounges we hung out in before even working up the courage to drink coffee.

 

Mannequin Pussy – Nothing Like

I Got Heaven Out March 1 Via Epitaph Records

Easing back on psychadelia and ramping up the pop, how do you feel about it?

 

Dea Matrona – Stuck On You

Buskering on the cold streets and heating up the seats, this trio turned duo, has been pushing for their debut album release for a hot minute now.

Great tune to roll into warmer weather with.

All the elements you’ve enjoyed about Grandaddy over the years with a new western twang, yeehaw.

What is there to say about Corn Mine that hasn’t already been said? It’s a….poppin tune.

Brief but leaves an impression.

 

Waxahatchee – Bored

Tigers Blood Out March 22 Via Anti-Records

Won’t get bored of this tune anytime soon.

 

Lloyd Wayne – Bird Beyond

The piano opening hooked us but the song continues to build from there, would recommend.

 

Metz – 99

Up On Gravity Hill Out April 12 Via Sub Pop

It’s a song that sounds like two genres crashed into each other at a junction. It’s cool though, they’re friends now.

Wait for it to kick in, you won’t be disappointed.

Can’t listen, TV now.

 

Sprints – Heavy

Letter To Self Out Now Via City Slang Records

Anxiety inducing, what a rush.

Ilion Out Now Via Sub Pop Records

Settle in, it’s a long one. French psyche making some moves.

 

Jozef Van Wissem – With Our Hands Our Hearts To Raise

The Night Dwells In The Day Out Now Via Incunabulum Records

Sounds like something that would’ve been in a Sergio Corbucci film.

 

Dermabraison – Magic Missile

Pain Behaviour Out Froday Via Hand Drawn Dracula Records

A bit monotonous but a perfect song to facilitate bad behaviour in our opinion.

 

Beans – Calling

Boots N Cats Out March 1 Via Fuzz Club Records

Enjoying the brass on this track.

 

Waxahatchee – Right Back To It

Tigers Blood Out March 22 Via Anti-Records

That lulling banjo and the tune’s pace is a great way to watch the sky melt before you.

 

C Turtle – Shake It Down

Grungy, reminds me of the mid 90s jams from yesteryear.

 

Serpentwithfeet – Safe Word

How can a song be complex and minimal at the same time?

 

Ellie Bleach – Whole Lotta Nothing

Now Leaving West Feldwood Out March 28 Via Sad Club Records

Consistently solid work from Ellie.
