San Francisco’s Weekend may have left the comfort of their Bay Area home to find inspiration in the more alien environment of the Brooklyn music scene, but they didn’t leave their fuzzy, layered, post-punk sound behind. “It’s Alright” is the second single from Jinx, their new album due July 23 via Slumberland. Not as lo-fi as they’ve been in the […]

Long before Nick Allbrook left Tame Impala, this talented musician formed a band with Joseph Ryan and Jay Watson (also from Tame Impala), among a very collaborative line-up. Having huge success from prior albums, four to be exact, they return with their psychedelic rock in Hobo Rocket on Modular People on Aug 5.

California collective Candy Claws released their fourth full-length “Ceres & Calypso in the Deep Time” this week: a shoegazed journey into an ancestral era. “Transitional Girl (Clever Bird)”, the first single, synthesizes the amorphous atmosphere of the album, interchanging a catchy beating pattern with a slower sulfurous chorus. The chromatic chord progressions lead gently into narcotic soundscapes and support the […]

Despite humble beginnings in a coastal town on the south coast of New South Wales, Jenny Broke The Window are beginning to turn heads in the big city with their own brand of infectious indie pop. With their sophomore record in the works, the boys have released two new singles, Ravel and Abracadabra, to give Jenny aficionados something to play […]

Besides being part of Brooklyn-based Chrome Sparks and drummer for Farewell Republic, multi tasker Jesse Brickel, spends his time making dreamy pop tunes under the name of Young Yeller. With an EP already under his belt, this young yeller is set to release his debut self-titled LP this summer.

Two years after the critically acclaimed debut on Domino, Canadian electro-pop darlings Austra are back with new album Olympia. Singer Katie Stelmanis’ opera-trained voice is powerful, yet heartbreaking when she sings the lyrics “You know that it hurts me when you don’t come home at night” on new single Home. Even though the track starts out almost serene, it progresses […]

Hailing from a small coastal town south of Sydney, Shining Bird have certainly been ruffling a few feathers with the release of their new track Distant Dreaming. Straight off their forthcoming album Leisure Coast, the new single is a fusion of dreamy pop melodies, crooning vocals and contagious percussion laced with distinctly Australian soundscapes. In tradition with the Bird’s style, […]

The British folktronica masters Tunng are releasing their fifth studio album “Turbines” on Full Time Hobby  today. The first single The Village has been circling the World Wide Web for a while now as well as landing a spot on our playlist last week. Focusing more on the folk than on the ‘tronica The Village, as one of the founding […]

Watch the beautifully animated video for “Green Blood”, taken from the new album Antenna to the Afterworld out now. Thanks to the talented Teppei Ando, who also produced the band’s video for “Planet of Woman”, this song about love on a distant planet got its visually rightful framing. Sonny Smith and his four band members (one of them being the brillant Kelley Stoltz) are […]

With the anticipated debut album Spacehopper ready for release next week, Tripwires give us a little taste of what’s to come with the video for their latest single, “Shimmer”. It’s a reverb-heavy, shoegazey, swirling indie rock anthem that plays perfectly with a quiet-loud dynamic and singer Rhys Edwards’ Britpop croon. In my opinion it’s the standout track on the upcoming album, harking back to […]
