The real reason he refuses to take the Trash out.

Unapologetically poppy, and we’re here for it. The SF2 combo references hooked us.

 

Porridge Radio – A Hole in the Ground

Clouds in the Sky, They Will Always Be There For Me Out October 18 Via Secretly Canadian

Great production and easy listening, they don’t always go hand in hand. They do on this one though.

The guitar riff hooked us.

A feverish track.

This music sounds like it’s from an ancient youth.

A fitting track title for an English Summer, thankfully, the track itself isn’t a washout.

You Are Not a Stranger Out October 18 Via Loose

 Mellow Dad rock, and there ain’t nothin’ wrong wit-it.

 

Eterna – Perfect Comms

 Well formed, hitting the ground strolling. They’ll be at Pitchfork Music Festival if you fancy their sound.

 

 

Dawn Richard and Spencer Zahn – Traditions

Quiet in a World Full of Noise Out October 4 Via Merger Records

A chill one to unwind to or reflect with.

 

Total Tommy – Real

A bit poppy for our tastes but sorta infectious at the same time.

 

Fucked Up – Another Day

This song is primarily about cannabis and as such puts its thumb on the scale of publicity tipping said scale.

 

Caleb Landry Jones – Hey Gary

Hey Gary, Hey Dawn Digital Deluxe Out September 13 Via Sacred Bones Records

Great vocal/music matchup. Short and sweet too.

 

DoFlame – Fastlanes

Bent Out October 14 Via Blue Grape Music

Kinda has that late ‘90s Linkin Park/Billy Talent/Limp Bizkit thing going on.

 

Tindersticks – Always a Stranger

 Soft Tissue Out September 13 Via City Slang

Moody and beautiful.

 A pleasant and all too cruisey tune.

Consistent throughout each release.

Cellophane Memories Out August 2 Via Sacred Bones

Not gunna lie, really really slow, but sink into it it’s worth it.

So much electric goodness, we’d totally get strapped to the chair and ride the lightning if GJ was the juice.

Pick yourself up by your boot straps already!

 

Julia Sophie – Wishful Thinking

A dreamy ditty great for melting those sunsets away as they coast along behind you in the rearview.

 

 

 Lazy Day – Falling Behind

Open The Door Out November 8 Via Brace Yourself Records

A motivated short and sweet track that leads the pace.

 

Everyone Says Hi – Only One

Completely inoffensive and unremarkable, it’s the TV in the background of songs, sometimes a snippet gets your attention though.

 

Efterklang – To A New Day

Things We Have In Common Out September 27 Via City Slang

Weird, wonderful and inspiring.

 

Tess Parks – Koalas

Pomegranate Out October 25 Via Fuzz Club

Lingering notes fill the space and the strumming guitar keeps the track bopping along. Zero Koalas were injured in the making of this track, nor mentioned.

 

Bria Salmena – Bending Over Backwards

Out Now Via Sub-Pop

A poppy ditty with a smooth locomotion.

 

DoFlame – Can’t Stand No One

Sometimes you just need drop D tuning and wrecking the place up in your life,  DoFlame provides.

 

Jeshi – Disconnect! (Feat Fredwave, Louise Cure, & J Cesar)

We’re new to Jeshi but they sure like to cram every bit of everything into a tune, keepin’ an eye on this one.

A beautiful track.
