Cavernous as its darkly-elliptical tale unfolds, “Seventeen” careens with compassion. It’s the huge brand-new single from Bristol’s Laura Kidd and her Penfriend project, and you can download it now from Bandcamp. Meanwhile her new LP Exotic Monsters will be released on May 21st, and you can order a wide assortment of vinyl and CD editions of it now from her webstore.
A gentle, revivifying and elliptical ode, “Song for Nick Drake” is glorious and taken from Storm in Summer, the new EP from L.A.’s Helen Ballentine and her solo project Skullcrusher. You can buy the digital version of the five-track release now from Bandcamp.
A haunted search for natural beauty in the shadow of the Apocalypse, Kate Beecroft’s tense, arresting brand-new video disorients as it dazzles. “Big Bang Blues” is a panoramic, windswept vision, and it’s the most-recent single from Queens, New York’s Breanna Barbara. All of the proceeds from the sale of the 7″ version will be donated to the Until Freedom nonprofit, and you can order that right now from Freeman Street Records. It’s available on Bandcamp as well.
Toronto’s Madeline Link and her project PACKS will release Take The Cake, their debut LP, next month, and above you can hear the unhurried single “New TV” — its Slacker-Rock edges gloriously frayed. Out from May 21st, you can order cake-splatter-vinyl, black-vinyl, CD and bundled versions of it either from Fire Talk or Bandcamp now.
A live wire exposed and showering sparks, “Hurt A Fly” is the ochre-toned brand-new single from Boston’s Squirrel Flower. The track is taken from Planet (i), her next and second LP, one released by Polyvinyl Record Co. on June 25th. You can pre-order colored-vinyl, cassette, CD, bundled and digital versions of it from Bandcamp now.
Its rhythms calming and its melodies lucid, “Soy Un Triste Payaso” is a Summery salve and taken from No Hard Feelings, the brand-new EP from Chicago’s Pure Intruders. You can download the four-track release from Bandcamp right now, and you can learn more about the band by following this link.
Originally from Phoenix, Brooklyn’s Kirstina Moore, a.k.a. koleżanka has just shared “Vegan Sushi”, its warm analog heart beating with vintage-synth sounds and animated by harmonious ideas. Her first single for Bar/None Records, you can find links for it here, and it will be on Bandcamp sometime next month.
Teeming with a tremoloing swarm of distortion, drama and memory, “All I Know” is the wickedly-woozy and just-released new track from Winter, one featuring auteur Jorge Elbrecht. Out care of the legends at Bar/None Records, you can download it from her Bandcamp page now.
Woozy, windswept and whiskey-soaked, “Medicine Woman” is the polished and pulsating new single from Nashville-based musician and producer Pauline Andres. Out today, you can find streaming information for it here, and she’ll release her Tornado Season EP on April 2nd.
