Bandcamp Friday, and the inbox is overstuffed. We're staffed and ready to sort the week's most impressive offerings. Headliners this weekend include Salt+, Blushing (pictured above), Red Sun 1981 (premiered on Drowned in a Sea of Sound on Wednesday night), Local Authority, Oliver Beardmore (also premiered on DISS Wednesday night), Kodaclips, somesurprises, and Dead Horse One. And there's so much more to add to the pile: new sounds from Kid […]
Tuning up studio, tweaking and perfecting output, but we will make time to ensure this New Tracks Weekend program is the best it can be. Headliners include Baleen (pictured above), Futureheaven, The Julies, Dead Horse One, Berezina, Scrunchie (Marky's review unlocks tomorrow), Bedroom Eyes, Cigarettes for Breakfast, Glossing, Soft Siren, ringing, Grundeis, Vicegrip, The Youth Play and more. Backing up our front line are deep benchers like Echo Ladies, Waving […]
New Tallies tunes, new music from NewDad, and a new track from Dead Horse One, and in the words of Vince Vaughn, all of it's money. Creativity, stepping outside of safe zone, mastery of the form, it's all money. Speaking of money, there's genre-adjacent but no less powerful Money, on the Sunday Drive label, again mining that happy vein between hard rock, post-hardcore and shoegaze. We're also keen on the […]
Right down to the wire, with a trifecta of exceptional albums that lead the pack this weekend. KRAUS lights it up as only KRAUS can: sandpaper textures and hooks that pull you in. Slow Crush new album takes in some slowcore influence, and makes you participate in the unfolding colours and textures. And Jo's Moving Day (pictured above AND below) is a dark horse candidate for album of the year, […]
When the problem of dual headliners pops up, you have to go with seniority. Two top-quality releases, the edge goes to the veterans. We're prepared for deep dives into the new albums from Amusement Parks on Fire (pictured above), their first full LP in decades, and Lightning Bug: a rich, languid tapestry that bends between dreamy, hazy and folky. Two top-tier albums, both worthy of celebration and exploration. We'll spend […]
What sonic treats do we have for you this weekend? More appropriately, what don't we have? Headliners all weekend include Asimov (pictured above), Dead Horse One, Flyying Colours, Blisstonia, Majestic Horses, Miners, Sore Eyelids, bokunofune, Meadowlake, Twin Limb, Inkraktare and more. Fresh singles help round out the presentation, including new sounds from Trillion, Stellarscope, Vlimmer, Whimsical, Southwest Hotel, Moon Pics, Sicayda, Fleur du Mal, Human Colonies, Honeymoan, Flyingpool, Day Disguise, […]
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, […]
New music in abundance, this weekend is well overbooked! The crowning achievement is the release of the new Tears Run Rings LP, In Surges, which has got us in studio all twitterpated. Their deft touch, their consistent tunefulness remind us why theirs is one of the preeminent voices in the genre, and their occasional absences are really a loss for all of us. We're also deep the new album from […]
Jordannah Elizabeth kicks off another memorable TPR Psych Nights with an interview of Dead Leaf Echo's LG Galleon, a wide ranging chat on everything from touring to working with their new label, Neon Sigh, and a little bit about the upcoming Dream Wave Showcase, featuring a lineup sure to rock the five boroughs. Plus she'll bring you treats from Dead Leaf Echo (well, duh!), plus Dead Horse One, Celebration, Cult […]
