Featured

ARBOR LABOR UNION | "Out To Pasture"

Sophomore Lounge
Bandcamp

Atlanta's favorite cosmic wanderers Arbor Labor Union return today with a great new surprise EP, Out To Pasture. Blending a fine woven quilt of fuzzy Americana, heartland punk choogle, and stoned in the breeze rock 'n' roll, the record is built on big rambling tunes that feel as much indebted to Tom Petty and Warren Zevon as they do Meat Puppets and The Minutemen.

PLOSIVS | "Yell At Cloud"

Swami Records
Spotify | Apple

PLOSIVS, the post-hardcore supergroup that features Rob Crow (Pinback) and John Reis (Hot Snakes) among others, return with their second album, Yell at Cloud. On first impression, it's everything you would hope it might be, caustic riffs that claw and groove, dizzying and nimble rhythms, and Crow's ever amorphous vocal melodies. There's a wonderfully incessant nature to it all, swarming, stinging, and humming along on its path.

TULPA | "Monster Of The Week"

Skep Wax
Bandcamp | Spotify | Apple

Monster of the Week is the full length debut from Leeds' Tulpa, a new band featuring former members of Drahla and Mush. Their latest project arrives fully formed, eschewing their post-punk tendencies for something warmer, fuzzier, and more melodically infectious. There's a real shimmer to the record, brought on by a power-pop resonance and a surge of elastic hooks around every corner.
