Download: Wye Oak, ‘Spiral’

0

Known for their balance of intimacy and scorching shoegaze-inspired folk, Wye Oak returns with a new single courtesy of Adult Swim’s Singles Program. The only thing is, “Spiral” doesn’t sound much like anything from the Baltimore duo’s past repertoire. Fans of last year’s “Civilian” (including us) may be shocked at the song’s programmed beats, heavy […]

Download: Delicate Steve, ‘Two Lovers’

0

It’s easy to be lulled into a false sense of security listening to the almost-all-instrumental music of Delicate Steve, the weird and wonderful quintet fronted (if there is such a thing here) by bedroom maestro Steve Marion. The New Jersey quintet plucks familiar tones from classic folk, pop and rock and weaves them together with […]

Ear Wide Open: Rainbow Jackson

0

Although all those hooks in Rainbow Jackson‘s scuzzed-up power-pop might tickle your melody bone, there’s a defiant side to the L.A. quartet, like when Chad Carlisle sings “I’d rather drown than settle down.” Formerly calling themselves SCLA, Carlisle, Sam Daggett, Laith Khalaf and Andy Ford have a thing for crunchy, Nuggets-worthy tunes. “Robinson Crusoe” could […]

Download: Andy Clockwise, ‘Steam Dream’

0

“I’m losing my steam,” Andy Clockwise moans with more than the requisite degree of world-weariness in his new song “Steam Dream.” Which is impossible to imagine, considering the feisty pop-rock on the L.A.-based Australian’s debut album “The Socialite.” There, Clockwise – equal parts balladeer, jester and brawler – used his hooks and humor to joust […]

Mp3-pack: Waters, Purity Ring, Tu Fawning

0

[ A few cool new tunes that have come across our radar…] Waters, “If Only” – Although released separately from the album “Out in the Light,” which came out last year on TBD, Van Pierszalowski (formerly of Port O’Brien) offers another song he recorded during the same session. Bursting with psychedelic-pop riffs in the midst […]

Video: Eleni Mandell, ‘Magic Summertime’

0

For seven albums, Eleni Mandell has been the best damned Los Angeles songwriter without a proper record contract, which boggles the mind when you consider her catalog and its graceful excursions into pop, rock, jazz and country. That distinction changes July 10, when her new collection “I Can See the Future” comes out on Yep […]

Levitt 2024

Download: The Raveonettes, ‘Observations’

0

The tidal wave of artists returning with a new album this fall includes the Raveonettes, who recently announced that their sixth studio album is slated for a release on Sept. 11 on Vice Records. To start the buzz for the new record “Observator,” their first offering for fans is, appropriately, the track “Observations.” Produced by […]

Download: David Shane Smith, ‘Wrestler’

0

David Shane Smith continues to be one of the most compelling pop explorers in the L.A. underground. Equally adept (and some would say, inscrutable) at glitchy, sample-based electro and only slightly off-kilter acoustic guitar compositions, the prolific songwriter never met a song he couldn’t tweak, and his subversive lyrics and titles are keen and biting. […]

Video: Two Wounded Birds, ‘If Only We Remain’

0

Sure, U.K.’s Two Wounded Birds‘ debut album is out now on the Drums’ label, Holiday Friend Record Company (a newly minted subsidiary of Frenchkiss Records). But put that association aside, and this Margate, England-based quartet has come up with some beautiful dream-pop tunes on their self-titled record. Hazy bass-heavy lines alongside wistfully sung lyrics in […]
