| The Jesus And Mary Chain |
Chemical Animal
|
Glasgow Eyes | Fuzz Club | 2024 | From Stereogum: "Later this year, the Jesus And Mary Chain, the often-imitated and never-duplicated duo of Scottish brothers Jim and William Reid, will return with their new LP Glasgow Eyes. It’ll be the first Mary Chain album in seven years and their second since reuniting in 2007. We already posted the absolutely sick lead single “jamcod.” [On Jan 18], the band follow[ed] that one with a new jam called “Chemical Animal.” //// Where “jamcod” revived the ferocity of some of the Jesus And Mary Chain’s best songs, “Chemical Animal” shows a different side of the band. It’s a swirling drone that’s simultaneously uneasy and meditative, and the drug-centric lyrics return to a theme that’s been a JAMC constant: “I fill myself with chemicals to hide the dark shit I don’t show.” There’s plenty of guitar on the track, but it’s really more of a sequencer song than a guitar one." | * | 0:02:07 (Pop-up) |

TANGK | Partisan Records | 2024 | From Stereogum: "In October, IDLES announced their new album TANGK and shared “Dancer” featuring LCD Soundsystem’s James Murphy and Nancy Whang. They followed it up with “Grace,” and [Jan 15 they released] “Gift Horse.” //// “Look at us go! Music and movement for you and yours,” bandleader Joe Talbot said in a statement. “Be bold and ride us like the disco donkeys we are.”" Find the eye portion of this here...

| The Dandy Warhols (feat Black Francis) |
Danzig With Myself
|
Rockmaker | Sunset Boulevard Records | 2024 | From "Exclaim!" - "Portland's poutiest band have announced a new album, as the Dandy Warhols have detailed Rockmaker, due out March 15 through Sunset Boulevard Records. They're previewing it with the new single titled "Danzig with Myself," featuring Frank Black of the Pixies. //// As indicated by the title, Rockmaker is said to place an emphasis on heavy guitars. "Sometimes we have a very focused idea of what we want," said frontman Courtney Taylor-Taylor in a statement. "It's generally what we want somebody else to make but since they never do, we have to. It has a very specific sound. There aren't a lot of heavy guitar records currently coming out that we like, so that was the impetus for Rockmaker." //// In keeping with Taylor-Taylor's promise of 'heavy raw punk and metal guitar riffs," new single "Danzig with Myself" rides an ultra-fuzzy four-chord progression, with Frank Black (billed here as Black Francis) contributing the distorted surf guitar leads. //// The album was mixed by Jagz Kooner (Primal Scream, Massive Attack) and mastered by Keith Tenniswood (of Two Lone Swordsmen). It includes 2023 single "Summer of Hate." //// To promote the album, the Dandies will tour North America this March, making a stop in Toronto on March 12. //////// The Dandy Warhols 2024 Tour Dates: 03/04 Washington, DC - 9:30 //////// 03/05 Boston, MA - Royale //////// 03/06 Philadelphia, PA - Ardmore //////// 03/07 Hamden, CT - Space Ballroom //////// 03/09 New York, NY - Webster Hall //////// 03/11 Montreal, QC - Le Studio TD //////// 03/12 Toronto, ON - Danforth Music Hall //////// 03/14 Columbus, OH - Newport Music Hall //////// 03/15 Indianapolis, IN - Vogue //////// 03/16 St. Louis, MO - Delmar Hall //////// 03/18 Denver, CO - Gothic Theatre //////// 03/19 Los Angeles, CA - The Fonda | * | 0:15:48 (Pop-up) |

It All Comes Down To This | Mute | 2024 | In advance of a 4/19 new ACR album... From Stereogum: "A Certain Ratio have announced a new album, It All Comes Down To This, which was produced by Speedy Wunderground head Dan Carey. It’s the English post-punk veterans’ follow-up to last year’s 1982. “It’s the Ratio removing the safety net,” Jez Kerr shared in a press release. “Every element of everything we’ve done on this album has been a change.” //// Donald Johnson added: “It wasn’t a matter of rubbing everyone else out, it was, ‘let’s find the thing that makes us work. And we know that’s just the three of us being as basic as possible – no frills, no major overdubs. Just visceral and happening in the moment.” | * | 0:19:44 (Pop-up) |

| Yard Act |
We Make Hits
|
We Make Hits Single | Universal Records | 2024 | From the highly anticipated and soon to come full length "Where's My Utopia?" Says frontman James Smith "“We Make Hits” started like most Yard Act songs do these days, in Ryan’s spare bedroom. He’d recorded a couple of basslines and I went round to throw some words on top just to see what might happen. I was reflecting on how things had changed so much for us over the last few years when I realised that sat round a laptop trying to make each other laugh, necking black coffee and craning our heads out of the window to smoke cigs every hour or so, all that had really changed within the writing process was that, thanks to my baby, we were at Ryan’s house rather than mine and that Ryan had a place of his own now, which was nice. Despite the outside blowing up, behind closed doors, we were the same, and I’m grateful for that. You can see the cynicism and the silliness on the surface of “We Make Hits” without much effort, but at its core, for me, it’s really an ode to friendship and the unfiltered joy you feel when you’re making music with the people you hold dear in your life. Meanwhile back in the Yardiverse, we’re getting the origin story of the hitmen Dynamite Dave and Dudley Sunglasses. A valid parable about the trappings of late capitalism, and the compromises we have to make to survive sometimes." | * | 0:33:22 (Pop-up) |
| Vaguess |
Profit Or Punk?
|
Nothings Secreet | Refry Records | 2022 | California-based songwriter Vinny Vaguess uses his band Vaguess as an outlet for his punchy, keyboard-laced garage punk songs about anxiety, frustration, life, and death, among other topics. His songs are loud, hooky, and straight to the point, rarely lasting more than a minute or two, and sometimes they verge into more melodic power pop territory. As a band, Vaguess has varied from one to four members besides Vinny, but Miles Lutrell of Useless Eaters often drums for the group. Vaguess started in 2007, apparently as a joke, and popped up again in 2012, when the Back Off Warchild EP was released. Vaguess began playing live shows in 2013, and the full-length Drift Brain appeared on Refry Records. Tracks from the group's early tapes were compiled onto the 2015 LP Bodhi Collection, released by Sinderlyn. The 20-minute full-length Guilt Ring followed in 2017. | 0:36:24 (Pop-up) | |
| Jack Medley's Secure Men |
Math Rock
|
Secure As Fuck | Blang | 2019 | Taking the piss? Probably. I love it. They are definitely Secure As Fuck. They are from Brighton, UK. Secure as Fuck was conceived and recorded in the home studio of other Secure Man Dom Keen, and draws on influences as wide- ranging as The Windmill Brixton pub, Fat White Family, Suicide, The Stooges, (they shamelessly just steal the entire vibe of I Want To Be Your Dog on one song) Madonnatron and Chris de Burgh. (they do a cover of Lady in Red and it's quite earnest and great) It’s both a poignant paean to the struggles of a three-day bender and a joyful celebration of all which that entails. | 0:38:54 (Pop-up) | |
| Tube Alloys |
Apathy
|
Magnetic Point | LA VIDA ES UN MUS DISCOS | 2023 | It's in keeping with a tradition, sure, one pioneered by bands like Wire, Swell Maps and This Heat, who sought to combine the vitality of punk music with an omnivorous ear for the avant-garde. But Tube Alloys honour this tradition with their disinterest in nostalgia and their ability to cast an irreverent eye towards our present and - crucially - our future, rather than endlessly rehashing our past. In short, Tube Alloys are adventurous where many of their contemporaries are content to play it safe. In doing so they tick a lot of boxes for those with open minds and open ears, while simultaneously making sense of the innate contradictions found in any great work of art. Their songs are muscular without being boneheaded, clever without being nerdy. A dry Australian humour is barked with an American sense of self-assuredness. Songs end before you've had a chance to digest their brilliance, or they explode right when you think they've already peaked. And just when you think you're comfortably along for the ride, the songs disappear altogether, and the record's centrepiece abruptly takes shape as an oblique spoken riff on Time. And Time it is, for something a little different. Finally! | 0:41:42 (Pop-up) | |
| Mengers |
El Camino
|
i/o | Devil In The Woods | 2022 | Parting from the destructive musical freneticism that helped them garner critical acclaim with their previous work, GOLLY, i/O—pronounced “eeh oh”—introduces a new approach to their musical proposal, leading them to reach a whole new artistic level. Their sound remains exciting and energetic, yet a new sense of dynamics, cleaness and melody give us a different side to what we previously knew about Mengers. " Our daily routines have turned incredibly monotonous. It has resulted in a paradoxical situation; we have always sought loneliness and isolation yet we never wanted to lose family and friends or remain in a constant state of vigilance in the face of an uncertain future. It has been both the best and worst time of our lives. Life has become a switch we’re not sure if it’s on or off; perhaps the switch is both on and off at the same time. Life doesn’t deal in absolutes: happiness implies the existence of sadness, and sadness hides happiness in itself. Nothing is unique. ‘i/O’ denounces those preconceptions. We’re in the best worst place in our lives and it’s both shitty and grandiose.” | 0:44:13 (Pop-up) | |
| Donzii |
Rightway Highway
|
Fishbowl | Grey Market Records | 2023 | Miami’s Donzii is a time-bending, post-punk vision: a unity of go-hard industrial bangers, darkly ambient balladry, and new takes on the funk traditions of No Wave. knowing, all-seeing view over a fictitious society in a sealed off terrarium. In the Donzii-verse, there’s politics, environmental strains, conventions of sexuality to deconstruct, threats of aliens and apocalypse, and all the little people just trying to make it through the day. | 0:46:48 (Pop-up) | |

Bullet of Dignity/Religion For One Single | Domino | 2024 | Fat White Family have announced details of their fourth studio album, ‘Forgiveness Is Yours’, and shared new single ‘Bullet Of Dignity’. Discussing the new album in a statement, frontman Lias Saoudi said that ‘Forgiveness Is Yours’ “is about life as eternal contingency…about no longer suspecting, but knowing that this shit will never get any easier…in fact, it’s about to get a whole lot worse, your body’s going to go into decay and the people you love will slowly start dropping dead around you…but somehow, you’ve smashed enough of your expectations thus far in life, you’re sort of fine with it…you accept it”. | * | 0:51:33 (Pop-up) |

Samuel Lloyd Spence (March 29, 1927 – February 6, 2016) was an American soundtrack composer best known for his work with NFL Films. Spence was born in San Francisco and attended the University of Southern California. In 1966, while working as a music instructor in Munich, he was hired to score the mini-documentaries that conveyed National Football League highlights and personalities to fans in the network-television era. His music cues, combined with the voices of announcers Pat Summerall, Tom Brookshier, Charlie Jones, John Facenda and Harry Kalas, created the trademark style of the NFL's sports highlights films. |

Initially, Mahlon Merrick was asked to provide scores for NFL Films. Merrick asked his friend, Spence, to help in the recording sessions. Spence said: "Mahlon had written marches. Toward the end of that recording session, I stuck in a couple of different pieces — my own orchestral compositions with strings and woodwinds, more like a Hollywood film score. It turned out they were Ed Sabol's favorites and he offered me a three-year contract to write, conduct, and produce NFL Films' music." |

Perfect Storm
|
Love In Constant Spectacle | Fire Records | 2024 | First out from the forthcoming April 5 release. --- As per Tom Breihan (as of Jan 16, 2024) via "Stereogum" -- "British singer-songwriter Jane Weaver has been active since the early ’90s, when she led the band Kill Laura, and she’s put out a whole lot of records on her own. Today, she’s announced plans to follow up her 2021 album Flock with a new one called Love In Constant Spectacle, which she recorded with longtime PJ Harvey collaborator John Parish. //// Jane Weaver has a long history of messing around with psychedelic and electronic music, and you can hear some of that at work on “Perfect Storm,” the lead single from Love In Constant Spectacle. The track is built on a gentle motorik groove, which really highlights Weaver’s serene vocals. The track reminds me a bit of Nico, Broadcast, and Melody’s Echo Chamber. Here’s how Weaver describes the new album in a press release: "A lot of the album’s themes stem from interpretation and translation, observations and emotional cues. I love the nuances in translation on foreign film subtitles. Sometimes, it’s exaggerated or more beautiful == stand-alone statements that don’t make sense, but when accompanied by a visual image, we can see the scene play out."" | * | 1:03:25 (Pop-up) |

angeltape | Captured Tracks | 2024 | From "Ourculture" --- "Leeds-based art-rock band Drahla have announced the follow-up to their 2019 debut, Useless Coordinates. It’s called angeltape, and it lands April 5 via Captured Tracks. //////// Drahla – vocalist and guitarist Luciel Brown, guitarist Ewan Barr, bassist Rob Riggs, and drummer Mike Ainsley – recorded the new LP with Matthew Benn and Jamie Lockhart in 2023. “There was an uncertainty and anxiety in not knowing how to rekindle what we had, and what we did have just didn’t exist in the same format,” Brown reflected in a statement. “I feel this is apparent in the music; the constant changes, opposing ideas and structures, the overall energy and drive of the songs. I think there’s also the sense of reconnection, encouragement and freedom, too. There’s excitement borne from us finding something together again.” //////// Commenting on the new single, Brown said: “It’s controlled chaos, lots of different ideas that resolve at some strange harmony. It was the first realisation of writing something from start to finish with the addition of Ewan on guitar so there’s more freedom of interplay and from our previous roles in the band. Lyrically it’s taken inspiration from Shakespeare’s ‘to be or not to be’. It’s navigating loss of life and life with loss. ‘To be, I see, what is, to be’ it’s a one-way deconstructed conversation with yourself. The video was created at home by us with the assistance of my brother George Brown.”" //////// Official video for “Default Parody” by Drahla //// Created by Drahla. //// Produced and Edited by Luciel Brown and Rob Riggs //// Hair and Make up by George Brown //// Follow Drahla: Instagram: / instantdrahla Facebook: / drahlamusic Bandcamp: https://drahla.bandcamp.com/ | * | 1:06:22 (Pop-up) |

After its initial iteration didn’t make the cut on the record, Tortoise’s John McEntire re-mixed and edited the tune in late 2023, resulting in the version we hear today. //// At nearly five and a half minutes, “Fugue” is a wandering jam that draws from elements of dance punk, post rock, and noise pop. You can hear a bit of McEntire’s influence as the song culminates into a furious coda, almost like “TNT” with a lot more shredding." ///// Tour dates, all * = w/ Water From Your Eyes //////// 02/02 – Austin, TX @ The Parish * //////// 02/03 – Dallas, TX @ Dada * //////// 02/05 – Nashville, TN @ Basement East * //////// 02/06 – Atlanta, GA @ Terminal West * //////// 02/08 – Washington, DC @ 9:30 Club * //////// 02/09 – Philadelphia, PA @ Union Transfer * //////// 02/10 – Brooklyn, NY @ Brooklyn Steel * //////// 02/14 – Boston, MA @ Paradise Rock Club * //////// 02/15 – Montreal, QC @ SAT * //////// 02/16 – Toronto, ON @ Phoenix Concert Theatre * //////// 02/18 – Chicago, IL @ Thalia Hall * //////// 02/19 – Minneapolis, MN @ Fine Line * //////// 02/23 – Portland, OR @ Revolution Hall * //////// 02/24 – Vancouver, BC @ Rickshaw Theatre * //////// 02/25 – Seattle, WA @ The Crocodile * //////// 02/27 – San Francisco, CA @ Regency Ballroom * //////// 02/29 – Santa Ana, CA @ The Observatory * //////// 03/01 – Los Angeles, CA @ The Belasco * | * | 1:14:11 (Pop-up) |

These Immortal Souls Extra | Mute | 2024 | "Mute presents EXTRA a brand new album of unearthed live recordings and remastered tracks by Australian London-based post-punk band These Immortal Souls, on vinyl and CD. //// This record includes extensive sleeve notes by original member Harry Howard and is released alongside the 2024 remaster editions of their debut album, Get Lost (Don’t Lie!), and their second album I’m Never Gonna Die Again. The tracklist for this record features their visceral, propulsive reimagining of Alice Cooper’s 1972 track “Luney Tune,” as well as covers of “Open Up and Bleed” by Iggy Pop & James Williamson, “Some Velvet Morning” written by Lee Hazlewood, which lead singer Rowland S. Howard notably covered with Lydia Lynch, and “Hey! Little Child” written by Alex Chilton. //////// The band consisted of Australian-born Rowland S. Howard, who rose to prominence as Nick Cave’s collaborator in the Birthday Party, his bass-playing brother Harry Howard, drummer Epic Soundtracks (formerly of Swell Maps and Jacobites), and keyboardist Genevieve McGuckin. They came together in 1987, after Soundtracks and the Howard brothers split from Crime & the City Solution and were joined by McGuckin to form These Immortal Souls in London. //////// Releases April 12, 2024" These Immortal Souls (Bandcamp) | * | 1:19:30 (Pop-up) |

Cryptocrystalline | Secret Lodge Recordings | 2016 | Vum hail from Topanga Canyon, California and I envision red rocks and flickering horizons distorted by heat waves. Cryptocrystalline creates something of an open (yet somehow shrouded in a clandestine veil like a secret society in congress) meeting between the outside and inside worlds. Jennifer and Christopher continue to create melodic mood progressions that respond as thoughts, feelings, and perceptions to the events of the environment-punctuated by the pulse of Scott’s percussive engineering. Cryptocrystalline is the VUM album you have waited years for. Jennifer, Christopher, & Scott take you to their Secret Lodge lair from the deep within the basins & bungalows of Topanga Canyon.” | 1:33:43 (Pop-up) | |

Unseen
|
Unseen Single | Fonolith | 2024 | The 90s trip-hop-inspired “Unseen” is the latest single from Hyperlink Dream Sync, the electronic trio of Neil Scrivin, Eric Sferro and Juno-nominated Hayley Stewart aka Mecha Maiko The electronic group brings together their love for nostalgic sounds from video game scores and downtempo pop from the 90s-00s with Scrivin and Sferro on production and Stewart on vocals. “Unseen” is an evolution of the song “Carrington Institute” from Hyperlink Dream Sync’s eponymous album, which was produced before Stewart’s arrival. “Eric (Sferro) got in touch about doing vocals for his and Neil’s project, and I immediately fell in love with their album,” Stewart said. “After recording a quick vocal idea for Carrington Institute, they invited me to join the band and we’ve been furiously writing music together ever since.” “Unseen” conjures images of technology infrastructure hidden in the landscape, with high-frequency trading towers serving as one of the muses for Stewart’s lyrics. After all, the internet is a key element in HDS’s work - the band works remotely since Scrivin, Sferro and Stewart live in the UK, US, and Canada, respectively. | * | 1:39:26 (Pop-up) |

Since releasing their 3rd album 'Old Habits & New Ways' earlier this year, the band toured Europe in April and blew crowds away with their explosive blend of 60s psychedelic garage rock.

Fantastic Sounds | Kuckuck Schallplatten / E.R.P. Musikverlag | 1974 | One of the hallmarks of Spence's music is its intangible familiarity. Two film score enthusiasts have pointed out the similarity of his more popular themes to several contemporary film scores; one has criticized them of "get[ting] too close to their obvious film inspiration". They have lauded some of his compositions as "cool homage[s]",while describing others as "barely disguised" "knock-offs". | 1:55:32 (Pop-up) | |

He Cried/Dressing Black 7" | Redbird | 1966 | Ahh the Shangri-Las..the girl band for the bad girls...loving too hard, too young, and too fast. Last week we said goodbye to none other than Mary Weiss, lead singer for the band. After the Shangri-Las, Weiss took a job as a purchasing agent in New York City in Manhattan. She recalled in a 2007 interview, "I went to work for an architectural firm, and I was seriously into it. Then I got into commercial interiors, huge projects, buildings."She later became the chief purchasing agent and ran the commercial furniture dealership. In the late 1980s, she managed a furniture store and was an interior designer. By 2001, she was a furniture consultant to New York businesses. There were several returns to music, most notably in March 2007 when Norton Records released Dangerous Game, a critically acclaimed album on which she was backed by The Reigning Sound. Weiss died from chronic obstructive pulmonary disease at her home in Palm Springs, California, on January 19, 2024, at the age of 75 | 1:57:28 (Pop-up) |
