With two years having passed since their debut EP, the band are set to release their first full length, Ephemeral, on January 22nd. Having shared the singles “Half Wave” and the stunning Polish written “Daleko,” the band are offering another dynamic glimpse into the album, which is available for pre-order tomorrow on Bandcamp.
While best known as the bassist for Haybaby, Sam Yield is a most accomplished songwriter. His solo music takes a very different approach, built on lush acoustics and gentle reflections, part folk, part indie, and entirely consuming. He’s an impeccable guitar player and his compositions are stunning throughout Terra Australis.
The quintet (Lucie Murphy, Sam Skinner, Mike Dvorscak, Stella Kortchmar, and Theo Munger) have recorded their full length debut but before that is unleashed into the world the band have been sharing the intimate Woods Sessions, recorded live together in a Vermont cabin this past August by Tonje Thilesen.
The Boston based garage punk collective, which features members of Blue Ray, Squitch, Brittle Brian, and many others, have released their self-titled today debut via Super Wimpy Punch. The record capitalizes on the promise of lead singles “The Chives Buy Guns” and “I’m Always Afraid,” setting the monitors constantly into the red.
“Dozer” is the perfect weird-yet-accessible peak into the world of multi-faceted LA artist Kaz Mirblouk. On Careless by Contrast, Mirblouk takes the opportunity to find his own voice by picking apart elements of a multitude of genres as he sees fit and weaving them into a kaleidoscopic vision all his own.
Three years since their last EP, Toronto’s Peeling are set to release their full length debut, Worshipper, on November 27th via Labyrinth Records. Once billed as a Canadian super-group with members of Odonis Odonis and Dilly Dally, the project has morphed into a solo effort, led by Anna Timoshenko, and they have never sounded better.
Set to release their latest full length album, Alpha Hex Index, on November 20th via Hex Records, it’s another crushing addition to the band’s stellar catalog of noise punk records that simultaneously disgust and delight. It’s loud, aggressive, and willingly irritating, and it just melts our hearts with joy in the process.
Little Ripple is the Omaha by way of Woodbine, Iowa based solo project of Ameen Wahba. Having released albums to Bandcamp at a prolific rate as well as toured as a member of Anna McClellan’s band, Staffers, and Thick Paint among others, the time has come for Wahba’s physical debut release, Kind Witness.
Horsegirl is a trio of teens combining post-punk and shoegaze in their own design. The band formed a little over a year ago and have slowly been releasing singles, each one building on the promise of what came before. They’re off to an incredible start, with fully realized songwriting that is dense and alluring, falling away from pop structures.
While the band certainly incorporate elements of deranged noise rock into their sound, they more often lean into a spookier goth croon to anchor their bludgeoning. “Midnight Sauce,” the second single from BOYS highlights that side of their output, a song filled with terror and menace but drawn together with a silky vocal performance.
Following a string of releases including 2018’s Crush-Hi, Airhead DC return with a brand new EP, Busted Sermon, an expansive swirl of warped lo-fi psych and homegrown bedroom pop. The solo project of Vishal Narang has steadily grown over the years to include new influences and sounds, dipping into territory less traveled.
Shelter of a Song, due out November 20th via Orindal Records shines with its own dim lit glow and comfort that comes from a place of patience and introspection. Built on an ever growing stretch of atmosphere, Liza Victoria’s songs look into the depths of mourning and loss, reworking those feelings into a meditative beauty
Holyoke, MA’s Landowner are never short on words. With the band’s excellent sophomore album, Consultant, out now via Born Yesterday Records (Dummy, Stuck, Red Tunic) their scathing takedown of systemic racism via political agendas, the upper class, and disparities of resources is all delivered with an appropriate agitation.
