GIFT Deliver Every Step Video
For all the various fads and nu-genre monikers, I do love the classic indie sound, particularly when it’s executed with the care and detail put into it by group’s like GIFT. I love the way there’s this acoustic strum that settles into the frame after the song bursts forth with a…

Show Preview: Ceremony @ Mohawk (11.6)
Show after show after show comes through our fair city, but Friday is an absolute must attend show with Ceremony. The band just released their latest album, Tell Me Your Dream, this past August, so I’m excited to hear “Death Destruction Mayhem” in the live setting, which is…

Liars Drop Beat Creep Some Eyes
I’ve really enjoyed the world that Angus Andrew has built as the Liars has transformed since their earliest years. He’s moved away from that angular noise destruction of the group’s earlier work and led the project towards a more beat-oriented sound. It makes sense, then, that…

The Infinites Share Beaumont Single
I promise you that this will be my last foray into the hype train for the forthcoming album from the Infinites, mostly because the album arrives next week! Before they drop American Cities, they give us Beaumont, the town often wrongfully named in folks who want to play 7…

Bitw Share Hen Dro
While I admit that I have a very limited, if not zero, understanding of Welsh, this track from Bitw was just so marvelous that I couldn’t resist including it in our daily coverage. The tune washes in with this sultry synthetic bounce, akin to an early Belle and Sebastian or even…

Anna McClellan Releases Anywhere
For an artist who has most recently worked with folks like Greg Freeman and Little Mazarn, it’s an interesting plot twist to hear their new single, featuring the beat work of Gloorp. The beat gives the song a nice bit of pacing and energy, pulling from the history of glitch work…

Hollow Star Share Elegy Single
There’s a need for some light feelings today, with the weight of the world seemingly on the backs of American voters, so why not kick off today with this bright bit of jangling pop from Hollow Star. In my mind, it sort of reminds me of the jangling pop of late 80s/early 90s…

Whitney’s Playland Deliver Last Call
There’s very few releases hanging at the end of the year, as everyone always rushes to get their work in before “list season,” but pencil in some space for the new Whitney’s Playland EP coming your way. A new single popped up today, instantly offering that jangling sound of…

Lo Barnes Says Heaven Was His Name
If there’s anything you could say about me, it’s that I’m a huge sucker for a big bold vocal performance, like the one that Lo Barnes is giving on us on this latest single. Honestly, there’s just light musical accompaniment throughout, with these incendiary guitar riffs…

Hallo Share Psychic Single
I loved the way this new tune from Austin outfit Hallo arrived in the old inbox, hitting with this sense that I was going to be in store for a big pop punk banger. But, like all great acts, they quieted the style and pulled back just a bit to kind of turn it into a heavier brand…

Last Week’s Jams (10.26 – 10.30)
I know we spent a lot of last week looking ahead to the Halloween weekend, but with all the coverage, it was really funny to see the 7 degrees of nathan.lankford shining through in our playlist. The first four songs on our weekly playlist somehow included folks who have been in…

Junior Boys Return with The Gore
It has been a hot minute for Junior Boys since the 2022 release of Waiting Game. They return with a lead single “Underneath the Moon” from the album due February 7 called The Gore. This new track leans pretty heavily on ambient trance with rounded edges and a vocal loop, less…

Little Oso Play Simulation Games
The Portland scene has gifted us some great music these last few years…and no…not that Portland…the one in Maine. That’s where we’ve got Little Oso, who today bring us the first hint at their new album, slated for a release in the Spring of next year. On this single, the band…

Roi Turbo Can’t Stop the Beat
Friday brings with it a lot of promise, so maybe I’ve been sitting on this new Roi Turbo tune until today…today is the day I will pump it up and put on a sweet sweet dance show for my students before we dive into some literature. The South African duo seem to roll back the ages…

Brian Noyes Delivers Colours of Everything
Listening to music really does lead you down mysterious paths, and then sometimes, those paths lead you right back home, like when you listen to this new Brian Noyes track. The musical style is more of a classical sound, rock-wise, harkening to a certain bunch of British lads…

Bleu Grave Channel 80s Nostalgia with Balboa
It’s Friday and the Halloween season is upon us, so why not travel back to a little bit of our gothic tendencies and enjoy this new single from Bleu Grave. The band carry all the markings of your favorites, pulling in these angular riffs that seem to echo in the ether while…

Lefty Parker Signs to ATO Records
I don’t want to take any credit, but Lefty Parker signing to work with ATO Records makes it four of my former students who are making big waves in the music scene (3/4 Die Spitz also made it through my class/soccer team). I remember how excited about the world Lefty Parker was…

Official Partners Share Answering Machine
I probably go through about 100 or more emails of music every day, and to be honest, it’s a little bit rare that I get a tune that makes me ask, “what the fuck was that?!” But, when I listened to this new track from Official Partners that is precisely what happened, and perhaps…

Zootown Festival 2027
October is wrapping up here soon, and the ATH crew is already planning for a summer of destination festival fun in the sun. Just yesterday we dropped the absolutely killer new lineup for Kilby in May, and now have yet another trip in the works for Zootown in June. For me, this…

Circling Back to Lamplight’s Last Room
Just this past week Lamplight released Lick the Spoon, Let It Soften, and while I meant to cover it on Friday, I missed, so I’m circling back to this ornate number that definitely should be part of your listening rotation today. It’s this quiet adventure of bounding piano lines…
