Their first full-length album Satellite Weather came out at the start of this year and pays homage to many legendary acts of decades past. Fluung is invested in exploring new ideas to further push their sound and have remained motivated by pivotal indie rock bands that became famous for emphasizing the power of the jam.
Brooklyn punk band THICK are the sonic equivalent of a jubilant rocket hurtling through space, and they want to bring everyone along for the ride. Their energy has always been part of their effortless cool, and the amount of fun they are able to translate from the stage to the recording booth is something all bands aspire to do.
The duo will release Ô Reine on May 24th on a super limited run of 30 lathe cut 7” records and we’re excited to premiere the single’s a-side. Sala wrote the haunting track about her childhood friend who committed suicide at a young age and while her lyrics are sung entirely in French, the atmosphere and tonality paint the picture.
The Cradle decided to go home again on his new album, The Glare of Success, but he’s not interested in rediscovering some missing creative magic. No – he’s not here to move back in – he’s here to deconstruct the house, strip it of its parts, and create an entirely new home from its component pieces.
Part of the appeal of the retro-aesthetics on Modern Meta Physic is that they’re employed as a tool but not as a crutch. It’s not an attempted ‘revival’ of a genre, it’s not a ‘throwback’ sound, it’s just a well-informed, self-aware album, full of well-written songs, and very specific reference-points.
While the quartet may be far from their label’s home base in Boston, their dream-pop sound and radiantly fuzzy introspection fits right in with newfound East Coast family. The band’s press release draws comparisons to Alvvays and The Pains of Being Pure at Heart, and neither of those are too far of the mark.
Boston trio Fucko are set to release their sophomore album Social Climber in May, the long awaited follow up to 2016’s Dealing With The Weird. Due out via Midnight Werewolf Records, the band’s seething grunge sound pushes through sludge and walls of distortion to reveal some of the band’s biggest hooks and catchiest songwriting.
