Singles That Mingle

With Captain Stavros

 

Famous – Demons in London

A piece that’s thoughtful and runs deep.

 

Hand Habits – Jasmine Blossoms/Dead Rat

Blue Reminder Out August 22 Via Fat Possom

Contrasting titles with equally decisive sounds, but opposite attract when released in pairs.

 

La Dispute – Act III (singles)

No One Was Driving The Car Out September 5 Via Epitaph

Sorta feels like it’s drawing inspiration from Beck’s early works

 

Shame – Quiet Life

Cutthroat Out September 5 Via Dead Oceans

Flexin them blue collar tune muscles.

 

Tan Cologne – In Resin

Unknown Beyond Out Now Via Labrador Records

Sultry, mysterious and captivating, this one’s got the siren’s touch.

 

 

Debby Friday – Bet on Me

Better tie your laces up tight because this one will get you movin’.

 

Ebbb – Manners

Out Now Via Ninja Tune

Great build and very interesting, we’re interested.

 

Jens Lekman – Candy From a Stranger

Song’s for Other People’s Weddings Out September 12 Via Secretly Canadian

Nothing clever to say, we love Jens, and this tune. Those vocals, amiright?

 

Pile – Bouncing in Blue

Sunshine and Balance Beams Out August 15 Via Sooper Records

A deep and sorrowful sadness in this tune but it’s got hope shimmering along its edges.

I Hope We Can Still Be Friends Out August 22 Via Saddle Creek

Was lucky enough to hear this one live earlier this year; you’re in for a treat.

 

TTSSFU – Call You Back

Blown Out August 29 Via Partisan Records

Infectious jingle.

 

Panic Shack – Pockets

Panic Shack Out Now Via Brace Yourself Records

A gig to have your teeth knocked at but only because a rogue elbow caught you when you were smiling too hard. You’ve got change? You want change.

 

Tiberius – Sag

Troubador Out Now Via Audio Antihero

We’ve got a lot of patience for this one.

 

 

 

 

Singles That Mingle

With Captain Stavros

 

Bonnie Trash – Poison Kiss

Mourning Out Now Via Hand Drawn Dracula!

Things I miss about not being in Canada. 1) Dill Pickle Chips (Crisps). 2) Being able to catch Bonnie Trash on tour.

 

BRUIT ≤ - Data

The Age of Ephimerality Out April 25 Via Pelagic

Confusing music with a clear message.

 

Dean Johnson w/Lake Charles – Blue Moon

Out April 11 Via Saddle Creek

We really, really, like it. Playful, well written and always a sucker for slide guitar and electric pianos.

 

Panic Shack – Gok Wan

Out Now Via Brace Yourself Records

Back with a punch, and looking good, but that’s not all they do.

 

LA Witch – The Lines

DOGGOD Out April 4 Via Suicide Squeeze Records

LA Witch back with The Lines, of which they’ve surely crossed many.

 

Maria Iskariot – Leugenaar

A song that’s got your number and expressly feels like your time is running out. We’re here for it, while we last.

 

CocoRosie – Pushing Daisies

Little Death Wishes Out March 28 Via Joyful Noise

That is the filthiest bass we’ve heard in a donk’s.

 

Florist – Moon, Sea, Devil

Jellywish Out April 4 Via Double Double Whammy

We bathed in the light of all three.

 

Sally Shapiro – The Other Days

Ready To Live A Lie Out May 30 Via Italians Do It Better

That guitar trembles with anticipation. An uppercut of a swing from J.

 

Joni – Still Young

Thing I Left Behind Out April 11 Via Hand In Hive/Keeled Scale

You’ve got nothing to fear from this one and everything to gain.
