Spelling Reform premiere new track at Impose

/

This morning, Impose premiered Spelling Reform's new single, "Expiration Date" as a part of their AM Gold feature. The track is a solid blend of bold power pop and indie rock, with distinct vocals that make singing along a requirement while listening. As Impose puts it, their sound "is Neil Young and Wilco inspired, but with a little genre bleeding twinge to it all." You'll want to make sure you stick around till the end of the song, when there's a bit of a building instrumental solo to round out the track nicely. 

Spelling Reform will be releasing No One's Ever Changed on November 18th.

Dead Leaf Echo Premiere New Single, 'I Will Do (Anything),' on Brooklyn Vegan

/

Brooklyn's Dead Leaf Echo shared a new track from their upcoming split tape with Did You Die today over at Brooklyn Vegan. This song, "I Will Do (Anything)" is a classic example of shimmery shoegaze done right, complete with twangy guitars and building percussion. The ending of the track doubles down on the fuzz, moving away from airy shoegaze and into the realm of post rock. The group is about to take off on a tour, and may be coming to a city near you. Take a listen below and prepare yourself for that split cassette, which is out November 4th via Moon Sounds.
