Up-to-the-minute fresh tracks, we're loading in even as we share the new musical jewels. The final pre-release single from NIIGHTS (pictured above) is perhaps the most compelling from the forthcoming album, and it'll grab and shake you, even if you're prepared to be shaken. We're flush with new music from Wyldest, LLOLLYANNA, cmfrtble, Grabbel and the Final Cut, Diagonal, Sooner, Deep Cut, Fanclub, colourway, Chain Wallet, Lake Pleasant, Forever Blond, […]
We are fully overbooked for the weekend, filled beyond capacity with the newest releases. No matter that we broke the website twice in the last week, lost a month's worth of data, pushed our first three-hour Mixcloud-only special in the past week... all of that is tangential to the point: we're flush to the gills with new sound and color, and we'll entertain you to the best of our ability […]
We'd always understood Austin's Blushing had all the elements necessary to break through: songwriting, performance, personality. From SXSW showcases, to their star turn at this year's DreamGaze ATX, it was simply understood that Blushing is poised to advance to top-tier status in the genre. If you're only just now waking up from a year-long nap, let us catch you up. Blushing is comprised of two tightly-knit husband and wife teams […]
Around here, we overcome a weird week with great music. It's a healing balm, helps us overlook all form of issues. New Tracks Weekend wins the week. As a forinstance: the debut album from Moscow's COSme (pictured above). Lead single "Newclear" proved to be a revelation, and each successive single built anticipation for this masterful release. Lost Generation dropped October 10, and is well worth your devotion. But there's so […]
We are literally overloaded. There's so much great new music, it won't fit. We'll shove it all in and press it down anyway. From Philly's always compelling Crown of Pity, to Austin's continuing reverb dominance, in the imprint of Dottie (pictured above), there's a veritable plethora of exceptional new tunes, and we're thrilled to share 'em. True facts. There's even a surprise new single from Niights, as a teaser from […]
A lot of folks were brokenhearted about the dissolution of the brilliant Australian band Miniatures. We would know, we were top of that list. By all accounts the breakup was amicable, geographic changes were the primary factor in the collapse of Miniatures following the release of their critically-acclaimed Jessamines LP on Saint Marie Records last year. So it was with more than a little excitement we got opportunity to preview […]
Are we overbooked? Of course we are. New Tracks Weekend this weekend features the freshest and brightest from the scene, domestically and around the world. We've even got a broadcast premiere or three. We're bumping the new album from Trench (pictured), which should grab your attention immediately: epic, bendy, swoopy. And, no, we've never used the term swoopy in "print" before. So there's that. New Mainlight EP is all you […]
We're packed in, ready for the weekend. Crept up to deadline worried that there wasn't enough material. Once commenced to digging through the week's fresh material, of course we're overbooked. Me of little faith. New music from Wild Nothing (released today), Subsonic Eye (pictured above), and the long-awaited XO release (previewed here). And that's just the tip of the iceberg. New music from Ultra Material, True Primitives, Nameless Dreampop, Fake […]
Too much new stuff. This weekend we're thrilled to push through a few choice cuts from next week's album release by Many Voices Speak. We've been spinning the first single from the Tank Town LP (and gotten great response), but now we've got hands on the rest of the album, and there's some real dream pop treasures here. Out next Friday, we'll sprinkle the weekend with some sparkle from the […]
