The new Blondage single “Call It Off” reminds me of Charli XCX, and I mean that in the most complimentary way. It’s well written, with a catchy chorus and a few experimental elements thrown in for good measure. Not sure what I was expecting from Mr. Yolk’s new song “Star Light Head Light”, but lightly psychedelic indie rock was not it. That said, I was pleasantly surprised and enraptured with the track, and encourage you to give it a shot to see if it effects you in the same way. Hoping you’ll also find the bright, folk-strewn energy of Peter Matthew Bauer’s latest track “Full Moon In The Sky” to your liking. The former Walkmen member has really come into his own as a solo artist, and this one absolutely soars. Make like Van Halen and take the jump to discover more new music from the likes of Darius (ft. Wayne Snow), Donna Missal, GHITA, Jack Massic (ft. Julia Ross), Jason Nolan, Kiana Lede, The Rentals, Silvia Kastel, and Tempesst.

Blondage – Call It Off

It’s funny – I’ve always kind of placed The Tallest Man on Earth and Asgeir into a similar sonic basket, pretty much counting both as being indebted to the folk roots of Bob Dylan for their sound and success. Well, now Asgeir has gone ahead and covered one of The Tallest Man on Earth’s best songs, creating a fun little bit of cross-pollination. It’s a nicely different interpretation of “There’s No Leaving Now” than the original, so I encourage you to check it out. Fans of super catchy synth pop should be hip to BOYBOY, who’s got a dynamic new single out to enjoy and maybe even dance to. Additionally, let me throw some weight behind the new song “The Fool” from OCS, which is an offshoot of (fka Thee) Oh Sees. The difference between the two projects is the sound, as Oh Sees are loud and brash garage rock, while OCS is quiet and delicate. “The Fool” certainly makes that abundantly clear, with string and horn arrangements shifting in and out of this sedate ballad. Get sucked into its beauty. You may also enjoy other tracks in this set from artists such as Bermuda Triangle, Boys, Ella Grace, Geographer, Louis the Child (ft. Ashe), Mielo, Palms Trax, Sam Evian, and STRFKR.

The electro-pop duo known as Kllo has been making music for a few years now, but have yet to release a full-length album. That’s set to change in about 3 weeks when Backwater makes its way into the world. Get a taste of their unique sound with the subtle yet addictive new song “Dissolve”. I’ve always had great admiration for Miya Folick’s voice, which is used to powerful effect on her singles and EPs. Her new one Give It to Me will be out in exactly one month, and on it she covers Joni Mitchell’s “Woodstock”. It provides an excellent way to show off her range, proving she still sounds amazing even when she’s not wailing against a storm of guitars. There’s something very ’90s about the new Plush song “50/50 20/20”, and I think it’s the guitars, which fall somewhere between Smashing Pumpkins, Nirvana, and My Bloody Valentine. It’s really impressive stuff, and I’d strongly encourage you to take the 6.5 minute trip as Plush cements their status as a band to watch. Beyond that, fly past the jump for more songs from the likes of Antwon (ft. Wicca Phase Springs Eternal), Chad Valley, DJ Seinfeld, HICARI, Ivan Dorn, Jay Pryor, Satica (ft. Sakima), Sharon Van Etten, and T-Mass & Jaxxtone (ft. Bianca).
