Today San Francisco Cold Beat released their first EP via Crime on the Moon: a good example of how punk’n’roll and surf-rock should melt together going hand in hand. Worms, first track on the record, is a clear reference to certain garage vibrations, with some typical reverberated Bigsby-like effects and a wall of airy vocal lines. Sustained by a dynamic […]

Signed to the illustrious ANTI- record label earlier this year, Columbus Ohio’s Saintseneca recently released the excellent single “Uppercutter” ahead of their upcoming LP, Dark Arc. Watch the psychedelic video below. Led by singer and multi-instrumentalist Zac Little, Saintseneca played the DIY circuit for years, honing a unique sound that reflects this experience, as well as Little’s rural Appalachian upbringing.

Japanese indie pop five-piece Wallflower delivers a dreamy new video for their latest single Only in My Dreams, exclusively at Gimme Indie today. If Ariel Pink’s Haunted Graffiti is the first thing that comes to mind when you notice the title of the song, you’re not far away from the truth. Wallflower’s single evokes the same dream pop sound of […]

L.A. quartet Warpaint impressed us at the beginning of this week with their return after a two year rest. Constituted by singer Emily Kokal, drummer Stella Mozgawa, guitarist Theresa Wayman and bassist Jenny Lee Lindberg, these Californian ladies have just released the first single off of their sophomore album. “Love Is To Die” brings us the natural and usual spellbinding […]

Stockholm-based Hanna Järver creates beautiful electronic music with a taste of dirt and Budapest. We had a chat with Hanna to have her answer a few questions about her relationship to Budapest, writing in Swedish and sources of inspiration. Hanna Järver has previously been part of Swedish acts such as Gazebo Gathering and Reversin but just launched her self-titled solo […]

Little May are a Sydney fem-folk trio that have hit the nail on the head with their latest single, Hide. The sophomore release off their forthcoming EP, Hide is a lucky dip of heart-warming harmonies, clever song-writing and delicate guitar riffs. However, though it may first appear like your textbook indie-folk track, Hide embodies a distinctly darker vibe that sets […]

Vancouver’s Shimmering Stars delivers a new track, “Shadow Visions”, the first single from their forthcoming album Bedrooms of the Nation. According to the group’s Bandcamp, Bedrooms of the Nation was “recorded in fits and spurts throughout 2011-2013” and this track represents “the sonic and stylistic shift of the record”. That transformation is perceptible early in “Shadow Visions”, the crystal guitar […]

Today Brooklyn-based duo Widowspeak released a six song 12″ that probably reveals the gloomy and mellow side of the band. Fifth track on The Swamps EP, True Believer is a slow ballad that gently leads the listeners into cosy and velvet soundscapes. The opening guitar legato, lying on a bed of cadenced drum patterns, sustains the main structures of the […]

Watch Glasgow duo Honeyblood‘s video for debut single “Bud” and recall the sunny days of summer while you wade through another rainy autumn. I’ve always been very partial to bands from Glasgow. Maybe it’s because I have a soft spot for the city itself, but when I read that a band is from there, I will always give them a […]
