Chicago’s Midwestern Dirt have released a new single from their upcoming Twilight at a Burning Hill LP today! The song is about “imagining what your life might be like if you hadn’t taken the path you’re on, it’s ultimately about regret.” Singer/songwriter Patrick Kapp also notes that the song is a nod to Tame Impala’s “Sun’s Coming Up”.
Wouldn’t it all be a little easier in life and love if we stopped playing games with each other? The new single from LA’s Waverly Drive begs this question with a chorus that sings, “Why you playing those games that way? / If it keeps on going it's never going to go our way.” The seven song EP, Now I Know, is out July 28 with preorder available on Bandcamp.
“‘Good Impressions’ is about aging out of caring what people think of you, of no longer staying a minute longer than you’re having fun at the party. The song embodies both the empowerment and the undercurrent of anguish therein, the tension between wanting to connect with people and wanting to be alone, between following your intuition and being unwilling to abandon your comfort zone.” - Malachi Graham
The LP, Passenger, is out September 1 on Tender Loving Empire Records. The band are beginning to roll out tour dates on the west coast with more to come!
Chicago indie rock band Midwestern Dirt are set to release their new LP, Twilight at a Burning Hill, August 18. Today, they share the first single from the record, a track that was born out of a New Order style guitar riff and eventually evolved into its final form: a slow burning, jangly, slightly psychedelic, indie-rocker with lyrics sporting nostalgia-colored glasses. The track’s pun of a title takes its inspiration from the annual Air & Water Show occurring every summer in Chicago.
Waverly Drive is the solo project of Phil Galloni, a studio engineer/producer and multi-instrumentalist living in Los Angeles. The music incorporates elements of indie rock, new wave, indie pop, and electro pop. Galloni’s work with other projects has been praised by the likes of The 405, Clash Music, and The Line of Best Fit. The title track from Waverly Drive’s second EP, Now I Know, is out today!
Dream pop band Starover Blue began in 2007 as the duo of Kendall Sallay and Dirk Milotz who evolved into a full 6-piece when they relocated to Portland from San Jose in 2007. They will be releasing a new EP later this year and have shared the second single “Afterglow” today. The band have been compared to Cocteau Twins and the song is about our sometimes hollow efforts to console someone actively grieving a loss.
