Houston, TX has a new project cooking in the form of minimalist pop trio JERK, who are set to release their debut EP via local label Very Jazzed on November 11. A week in advance of that release, they've dropped an "infectious" new single, "Accidents" at Vents Magazine.
Brooklyn's Stereo Off will be releasing their third EP early in 2017 and today they've shared the first single from that upcoming release over at CLRVYNT. The trio makes the perfect blend of new wave pop, and "Sunsetting" gives you an example of this dance-ready track. Starting off slow, a bit of horns and waves of pulsating synths echo through the mix before those lighter electronic elements chime in. Then Sebastian Marciano's vocals come, and as the folks over at CLRVYNT say, his voice melts "like chocolate into the background while trumpets and synthesizers tap out sounds to create a danceable and immaculate track." Go take a listen to "Sunsetting."
EP III will be out February 3rd, 2017.
Space drone dreams outfit Solilians have a new LP due out November 18, and today they've shared a new video for “Hatikva: The Next Generation" via FLOOD Magazine.
"...it’s a strange and discomfiting sound; the song, which is named for Israel’s national anthem, finds the sweetness of Malkin’s voice curdling until it feels like a taunt. Still, as the band turn slowly, a different light emerges, and for just a moment, it’s pretty enough to keep you from looking away."
Sweden's Affordable Hybrid are releasing their first EP since 2009 and today they've premiered a stream of Bat/Roky over at New Noise Magazine. The two tracks are post-punk at its finest, and the folks over at New Noise agree: "the band pack a lot of punchy melodies into their music, utilizing guitars to drive motifs home, with the vocals rising above them and cutting through the gripping orchestrations." Head over to New Noise Magazine and check it out and then get ready for the physical release of Bat/Roky this Friday, October 28th.
In advance of the November 18 release of their new LP Shin, Jewish psychedelic band Solilians have released "Rev's Gold," a tribute to the great Martin Rev of Suicide, via Jewcy.com. Stream the track below and if you're in NYC, don't miss their LP release show at Pete's Candy Shop with Landing and Dead Leaf Echo on November 19.
