Ratoon - Hunting for Sheep

South Wales based Indie Rock outfit with a Power Pop banger.


 
Nature TV - Meds

🎶Soothsayer won't you be right🎶

Brighton UK band straddling the line between soulful Indie Pop and Yacht Rock


 
Didn’t we have an old musician run a page or so ago?


Craig Finn — Luke &Leanna

I absolutely love this song. The instrumentation is simple but Craig is such a wonderful lyricist. The whole thing just works.
 
This is Lorelei - Dancing in the Club (MJ Lenderman version)

This Alt Country, Country Rock cover is almost unrecognizable from the auto tuned, synth pop original.

🎶 I lost your love today
In a lonely summer breezeI was dreaming all my dreams
Yeah, I'm my own worst enemy
And I know it's only cards
But love I feel your heart in spades
While you were dancing in the club
I gave my diamonds all away🎶


This is good. I liked the dancy electronic original but it’s a real good cover.
 
Public Order - Someday

Public Order is a Welsh 4-piece group.

“SOMEDAY” is all about hope,” the band says..."the sentiment is that “someday,” love can be found if only you find yourself first."


 
Girl Named Tom - Locked in your Love

A charming song and a cool video,

Girl Named Tom is a Folk Rock sibling trio from Pettisville, Ohio, although this tune reminds me of Quarterflash's "Harden My Heart"


 
Keyside - Michael (What's Your Call?)

🎶If you ever need someone
Then you can call, call on me
You can call, call on me
You can call, call on me🎶

Keyside is a piece Liverpool UK band known for their brand of pristine Jangle Pop


 
MRCY has kind of a Gnarls Barkley thing going on with a soul singer on top of somebody's record collection. The first single from their upcoming album references Marvin Gaye while the second
has Afrobeat and Kamasi Washington vibes.


 
Velvet Trip - The Here And Now

On my Spotify Release Radar, which was a complete waste of time, except for this pulsating Psych Pop gem from Sydney, Australia:

🎶 Oh no, it's all in a moment
Blink and it's over, the here and now
Oh no, we got lost in a moment
And when it was over, we faded out🎶


 
Bon Iver just dropped their first album in 6 years. Most of tracks don't do much for me, but I like this one.

Bon Iver - Short Story

"That January ain’t the whole world"


 
RR also with:
Sports Team (they've gone downhill, IMO)
Teen Mortgage
Streets
Ron Gallo (political rant)
Pissed Jeans
Bug Club
Spike ****
Acid Dads (whoa... I think this a band I liked from several years ago- hearing it soon).
 
Only Monday - Hotel Room 302

Three-piece Pop Rock band from Bangkok, Thailand, with a retro sound but I am not sure which decade from the 60's into 80s they exactly are borrowing from.


 
Stannington - Farmers Market

🎶
Oh please don't fret over national debt
The farmers they will save us 🎶

Sounds like what you might have gotten if The Smiths had done a jam with The Stray Cats (and some jangle thrown in).

Newcastle-Upon-Tyne UK band


 
Warm Coat - Storing Daydreams

Some jangly shoegaze from South Wales UK Indie duo.


 
Only Monday - ท้ายปี (End Of The Year)

3-Piece Pop Rock, TRock, TPop band Bangkok, Thailand.

This banger has been released twice, as a single last November, then again 8 days ago with an extended version on the release of their new album "Hotel Room 302"


 
All caps band CHIME OBLIVION is a supergroup of sorts with John Dwyer of Osees and seminal post-punk drummer Dave Barbarossa (Adam & the Ants, Bow Wow Wow). There's a guitarist playing some angular chords, an occasional skronking saxophone and a female vocalist named H.L. Nelly who channels Poly Styrene and Annabella Lwin. The songs are short enough not to overstay their welcome.



 
dogworld - inmypocket

Melbourne, Australia based band with an "interplay of skeletal punk with free-spirited indie" along with some shoegaze and dream pop thrown in.


 
Stannington - Through You

Another banger from this Newcastle-Upon-Tyne UK band.

Shout out to Louis Clark for an insane aggressive bass driving it all on this The Smith's influenced tune.


 
Shambolics - All You've Ever Known

🎶 I, I, I, I, I, I feel alive
(but you're dying inside, dying inside)🎶

Fife, Scotland Indie Rock band based in Glasgow with another guitar driven banger.


 
Saw this artist perform on "Everybody's Live With John Mulaney" on Netflix.

Bartees Strange - Sober
 
Sundaze - Afterparty

Four-piece alternative rock, post-hardcore, emo, shoegaze band from Fort Wayne, Indiana.

This tune starts out as jangle pop, then after the 2:15 mark, morphs into psychedelia and shoegaze


 
Rhiannon Giddens & Justin Robinson - John Henry

(From their new “What Did the Blackbird Say to the Crow” album - reuniting after both were in the Carolina Chocolate Drops together)

 
chilldspot – Up

Chilldspot is a Tokyo, Japan 🇯🇵 R&B, Pop Music band with a cooking dance music tune. 💃🕺

Great video too:

srwks. - Purest Tears of a Middle-Aged Loser

Shoegaze, Dream Pop band from Chiang Mai, Thailand.

🎶And I keep waiting
Fading, Facing
The truth that I am hating🎶


 
Say Sue Me - In This Mess

Cowabunga dude! 🏄‍♂️

Shoegaze meets Surf Rock from a Busan, South Korea Indie Rock band.


 
Say Sue Me - In This Mess

Cowabunga dude! 🏄‍♂️

Shoegaze meets Surf Rock from a Busan, South Korea Indie Rock band.


I first heard them with a song... My town, in this town... Something about a town... That really grabbed me. But most all of the rest of the stuff I've heard from them sounds like this tune... Kinda nice, but a bit limp/aimless. Maybe that's shoegaze in general for me.

Shoegaze does often have a meandering quality to it and doesn't appeal to everyone for that reason.

One of the pioneers in the Shoegaze genre were the Cocteau Twins, whose songs often had no real beginning or end and there was rarely anything you could sing along with.
 
SLEEP CLUB - Skyline

Pulsating Shoegaze with whispering vocals and a touch of Dream Pop at the end.


 
EKLEKTIK - Soulful Squeeze

Funky Jazz flavored R&B with a touch of Salsa. Has some nice piano and sax.


Sorry not available yet on Spotify, but I will edit this post when it is.

Valentine's Day Club - Rainbow Machine

Pop Music that is so calculatingly retro, I had to check if it was AI generated. Not the case and while not terribly original, still a great piece of Power Pop with some Bealtes and ELO influences.

On my Spotify Friday Relrease Radar. Sorry no band information I can find to share.


 
The Velvet Hands - I Dont Care

Cornish, UK 4-piece Garage Post Punk band with a banger. I hear some Green Day influence and I'd also mention Dramarama, but I doubt these Brit kids ever hear of that band (who broke up in 1994 before they were born).


 
New Albums that came out last Friday that I want to check out:

PUP
Car seat headrest
Blondshell
Beach Bunny
Lucius
Model/Actriz
Gum Parker
Punchbag ep
Esther Rose


I've listened to most of the first 3 so far!
Have only been seeing/hearing new CSH... Which has all been pretty great.

I only know PUP and Model/Actriz from that list... Do you think I'd like the rest?

Gum Parker and Punch bag I'd bet on... I tend to vary from maybe to no-way for the rest?

And year, I have been digging this CSH - it's a rock opera, so the album works well that way
 
Some great stuff posted so far. Here's a few more I've enjoyed.





 
Momma's album Welcome to My Blue Sky sounds like they uploaded an old episode of 120 Minutes into an AI thingamabob. It has that 90s retro guitar sound that always goes over big on this board along with a nonchalant sounding girl singer. I like the Veruca Salt songs better than the Sneaker Pimps ones but it's an enjoyable listen.
