The Coathangers: “Follow Me”
The feisty female group The Coathangers is not here to mess around, especially not with this fast paced banger titled “Follow Me,” the first single of their upcoming album Suck My Shirt from Suicide Squeeze Records. The Atlanta group formed back in 2006 as a joke, without the knowledge of how to play a single…
Avid Dancer: “Stop Playing With My Heart” double sided single
I think most have been in a state of unknowing and indecisiveness when it comes to the beginning stages of a relationship. Although this is the most exciting part, the game becomes strenuous. Jacob Summers debuts his single “Stop Playing With My Heart” under the name Avid Dancer. The single is played in two versions,…
Morgan Delt: ‘Morgan Delt’
Drop everything, lie down, and immerse yourself in the swirling ambient tunes of Morgan Delt’s first full-length album, set to debut on Tuesday Jan. 28. The self-titled effort brings to mind the wispy vocals of Simon and Garfunkel, mixed with the psychedelic qualities of Tame Impala heard in slow motion, nothing short of pleasant. The…

Blondfire: Young at Heart
On a wave of cotton candy vocals, brother-sister duo Blondfire manage to simultaneously show off some L.A. edge on their first full-length album, Young Heart. Set to release February 11, this indie-pop record is the ideal mixture of sugar, spice and everything nice. But it’s no surprise that Erica and Bruce Driscoll have released pure…
Xiu Xiu: Angel Guts: Red Classroom
There’s a picture of Death Valley on Xiu Xiu’s website. It is here, in this vast landscape, that I imagine the first track of Xiu Xiu’s most recent album reached its inspiration, or some place like it. What sounds like a steady breeze opens the album, Angel Guts: Red Classroom, along with a few ominous…
Crushed Stars: Farewell Young Lovers
Farewell Young Lovers is the most current album of Todd Gautreau and Jeff Ryan, out January 21st. The euphoric album opens with the upbeat “Flowerbomb,” for which they just released a video. Crushed Stars has kept their dream-like style since their earlier albums such as in In The Bright Rain and even their cover of…

Got someone’s hand to hold on Valentine’s Day? Whatever your relationship status, we suggest you make your way to 529 in Atlanta to catch The Casket Girls.

Morgan Delt: “Obstacle Eyes”
When Los Angeles based psychedelic singer-songwriter Morgan Delt released his latest single to accompany his debut self-titled album (coming January 28 via Trouble in Mind) and previously released as a limited edition cassette, you can only expect a song as mysterious as Delt. Operating off the grid, Delt is notoriously hard to find information about,…
Midnight Reruns: Midnight Reruns
With a 90’s garage-band punk sound, Midnight Reruns opens with energy in “Going Nowhere”, in which Graham Hunt sings, “I’m here for you and no one else…I ain’t going nowhere without you.” It’s as if Hunt exclaims his longing and promise to his restored project from 2010. Singer, songwriter, guitarist, Graham Hunt retired his position…
