As always, all of the above singles are available to stream from my #NewMusicFriday playlist (below) which gets completely updated every single Friday, so feel free to follow/like it and you're all set.

If you don't want to risk missing it, you can also sign up to my mailing list and I'll email it out to you every Friday along with a list of that week's new album and EP releases.

 

It's a standalone song that dropped between Between the Heart and the Synapse and The Earth Sings Mi Fa Mi (while Casey was still in the band). It's a killer song. Been a long time since I've heard it!

I'll be spinning the debut album from you, infinite today, which is the new project featuring members of This Will Destroy You. It sounds like it incorporates all the things I loved about TWDY's finest work so this is a very exciting release and nice to see something new from them after so many years.

I'll also be checking out the new Cloakroom record!

 

It's been a while since I've posted. I've been a bit busy, but today is a big release day

My most anticipated:
*Chrissy - Heaven Is In You (Singer Songwriter RIYL Kristine, Wallice, Quinnie, etc.) - potential AOTY contender for me and the opening track The Bell Jar is incredible
*Deep Sea Diver - Billboard Heart (Alt. Rock) - from Jessica Dobson, who has been in a ton of bands like the Shins, Spoon, Yeah Yeah Yeahs. Her music feels nostalgic for that era of music and also progressive and really fun

Other albums I'm checking out:
Banks - Off With Her Head (Indie Electronic)
Cornelia Murr - Return to the Center (Americana/Folk)
George Moir - EP5 (Indie Pop)
Hope Tala - Hope Handwritten (Indie Pop/R&B/Lo-fi)
Iris Jean - The Architect (Singer Songwriter/Indie-Pop)
Jemzel - starry eyed (Singer Songwriter/Indie-Pop)
Lola Kirke - 241 and 2 Damn Sexy (Country/Americana) - RIYL the new Willow Avalon albums
Miya Folick - Erotica Veronica (Singer Songwriter/Indie)
Rebecca Black - SALVATION (Hyperpop Ala Charli XCX)

 

Yeah seeing that TREOS song floored me today. Hadn’t heard this one.

Here’s my list for the day:

Parachute Day
Architects
The Casper Fight Scene
Cloakroom
Just a Mess
OVERSIZE
Thru It All EP
RDGLDGRN
Granite Hands EP

 

The TREOS song is actually from 2009/2010 for a vinyl pressing of Synapse.

 

TREOS fooled me with the new artwork on that one.

 

The new millington single is great as always hoping they put out an album soon.

I missed a new Denison Witner album a few weeks ago “Are you a dreamer” brings back memories.

Zayne Zemoroz released a new single Rooftops last week I know him if you could give it a spin that would be great. It’s country pop not my fav genre but I think he has what it takes to make it somewhere.

 

I look forward to your posts every week thank you.

 

CHEEKFAAAAAACE!!!

And Parachute Day, super glad they are still around

 

insanely good emo release

 

I've never seen any discussion about this band, but I highly recommend the new single (and upcoming album) from St. Plaster. If you're a fan of bands like Bad Religion, No Use For a Name, etc...

 

free throw those days are gone 10 year anniversary

 

Banks and Cloakroom

 

Comparing Rebecca Black to Charli should be a crime.

 

B&C's live session of The Things We Think We're Missing is finally up on streaming services, so I'm just listening to that all day.
