					<description><![CDATA[Somewhere in our souls, we&#8217;re yearning for something quietly intimate; we&#8217;re seeking solace from the daily horrors of the world, but luckily Canada has the answers (in more ways than one). Fog Lake shares a video for one of today&#8217;s new singles, carrying this really light marching band drum roll and synthetic underbelly to quietly serenade the masses. Aaron Powell&#8217;s voice is going to drag you into the depths of this tune, hanging on the front side of a whisper with more than enough melody to soothe all your ills. If quiet charm is your cup of tea, then you&#8217;ll want to dial in here, plus check out the new Hollowbody record on November 13th.]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[You&#8217;re likely to find the words post-punk strewn across every blog or site covering music left of the dial, but if you look at the traditional approach, few are hitting the nostalgic sound the way the Zaxons do. The Vancouver outfit have just unleashed the video for &#8220;Adrian Knows,&#8221; and aside from a little bit of soloing in the middle of the tune, the rest of it feels completely out of this world. You&#8217;ll get a natural rhythmic bob, which definitely is an aspect that makes the tune pop through your speakers, and with added tempo changes it kind of keeps you off balance in the best way possible The vocals, too, call on a different era, with just a hint of that punk rock yip and a touch of a curl on the syllables, mixing a sharpness with the melody. If you know what&#8217;s good for you, go jump in and listen to this song and the rest on Videopticons.]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[When I came across this Left Tracks single I was really enjoying the openness of the guitar interplay; it feels like it&#8217;s pulling from some of the ancient Jade Tree heritage, which I adore. But, just as you feel like you&#8217;re settling into the tune, they mix things up and throw in some speed that pushes the song in a different direction, only to tug it back and deliver a more powerful vocal moment in the midst of the return to homeostasis. They keep mixing in different flavors throughout, and in all honesty, it&#8217;s a refreshing twist as so many artists seem to get stuck in one direction. Give a listen. Popcorn Lung by Left Tracks]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[We&#8217;re only a few weeks away from the release of the new Slack Times record, and they aim to cement my adoration with this heavy jangling album opener, &#8220;Right Time.&#8221; Pressing play puts you right in the midst of snapping drums and jangling guitars, rushed into the influx of pop before you can catch your breath. Going forward, the vocals have this distance between the musical elements, save for the emphatic punches of drums coming through; they do work really hard to push in the melody, pushing against the angular cuts of the guitars to keep the contrast perfect. Casting will arrive on November 6th via Meritorio Records. Casting by Slack Times]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[As we close in on the &#8220;Biggest Weekend Ever&#8221; with UT vs Ole Miss, Rockets vs Los Spurs, Formula One, Maroon 5 (lol), Post Malone (moar lol) and an unholy amount of traffic on the roads and at the airport, we figured we&#8217;d close a chapter on Austin City Limits. So, Nick Radcliffe headed out to capture and recapture highlights form the fest. &#8211; Editor&#8217;s Note, Nick take it away Friday was a mild day temperature-wise with the most dust kicking up, but we still managed to feel the rain on our skin at Natasha Beddingfield&#8217;s performance at the Tito&#8217;s tent, which frankly should&#8217;ve been moved to a larger stage given the attendance. Leon Knight brought the funk to the BMI stage and got the crowd moving and grooving while Turnstile amped up the evening with their high energy set. The pit wasn&#8217;t as muddy, but attendees managed stir up a dust storm as they moshed their way into the night. James Talarico, democratic candidate for US Senate, was even spotted in the crowd. Saturday managed to be a little hotter, but the crowd was all smiles through the likes of Bleachers&#8217; and their monster sound of guitars, brass, and keys. There was another surprise appearance of James Talarico, but this time on the big screen as Jack Antonoff changed from a plain t-shirt to a Talarico for Texas campaign shirt to the sound of applause and massive cheers from the crowd. Other notable appearances include Matt Shulz of Cage the Elephant taking the BMI stage to sing guest vocals on Common People&#8217;s cover of the Pixies&#8217; &#8220;Gouge Away.&#8221; Suki Waterhouse captivated the crowd with her energetic performance, bounding from one side of the stage to the next as she belted out the hits. Our evening ended at the Beatbox stage to the machine gun strobes and blasting bass of Snow Strippers&#8217; set. I&#8217;m not sure what they were saying, but it reminded me a lot of Death Grips in terms of late night heavily backlit sets at this stage. Still, I enjoyed the set. Sunday finally rolled around and was a bit more relaxed with the soulful sounds of Joshua Jensen kicking us off. The day was stacked with singer songwriters, a stark change from days of EDM and pop giants of tumblr years past. As the day began to cool, so did attitudes. Hyped and alleged industry plant band, Geese, took the T-Mobile stage where a massive crowd gathered to listen to Frank Sinatra&#8217;s &#8220;My Way&#8221; blast over the PA before the band took the stage. I&#8217;m not sure if it was intentional since frontman Cameron Winter&#8217;s vocals have drawn comparisons to Ol Blue Eyes. I guess I could hear it but I&#8217;m more inclined to lean toward Rufus Wainwright meets Alec Ounsworth. Musically, the set was fine, but rather tame in terms of performance. It is Sunday after all and we&#8217;re tired so what better way to round out the weekend than a low key performance by The xx who opened their set with &#8220;Crystalized.&#8221; The chill trio performed in near darkness until a luminous X lowered over the stage as they rolled through their dream pop anthems until ironically closing out the night with fan favorite &#8220;Intro.&#8221; Friday: SG Goodwin, Leon Knight, Natasha Beddingfield, Turnstile Saturday: Common People, Laszemo, Arcy Drive, Chloe Quisha, Bleachers, Suki Waterhouse, Snow Strippers Sunday: Chelsea Jordan, Charlotte Lawrence, Aubrey Hobert, Clare Rosenkranz, Joshua Jensen, Saint Motel, Geese, The War on Drugs, The XX]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[Long long ago in a label run by a poor man, there was a Being Dead EP. It sold out, it ruled, and then they went on to conquer the world, as we at ATH always knew they would. Today, we bring news that the group is now set to work with Polyvinyl Records, and to celebrate the signing, they&#8217;re offering two new singles for your ears! Listening from where they began to where they are now, you can hear some of the early sprinkles of their gifts, but they&#8217;ve blossomed into a master class on clever pop songwriting, ironing out some of their recordings and saving the insanity for their live shows. On &#8220;Man or Myth&#8221; they&#8217;re driving a propulsive churn, driven by Falcon Bitch&#8217;s vocal work, then united by all of the band&#8217;s shared vocal visions; it&#8217;s the energetic pop killer you need in your listening. Flip to the next tune, and it&#8217;s a little subdued, a reminder that the group has never been afraid to change gears and make things their own; it&#8217;s all about the combined vocal melodies in there, though the clear pop twist with FB on the lead is a shot right to pop sensibility. Can&#8217;t wait to see how huge they grow now that they&#8217;re stepping up their label game.]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[We&#8217;ve supported the craft of Helena Deland for quite some time, and personally, I&#8217;ve marveled as she&#8217;s moved beyond a sort of mystical bedroom pop builder into this bold pop chanteuse. On this song, I love the weight of the guitar; it&#8217;s got this heavy texture matched by the percussive beat, and it seems to embrace the heavier tones of Deland&#8217;s voice. But, where the tune lightens is when the vocals move into higher pitches, seeking to grasp onto angelic pop clouds. The constant balancing act of the musical accompaniment and Helena&#8217;s voice allows for this emotional juxtaposition that makes this track a perfect morning morsel. Looking forward to Eternity Shrugs, which arrives in January of next year via Chivi Chivi.]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[A few weeks back we were fortunate to get the new track from Phantom Handshakes out into the world, and today, the Standing By EP featuring &#8220;From Your Side&#8221; is officially out into the world! The album has a mixture of vibes, though all of it is presented from a dream pop standpoint: the aforementioned &#8220;From Your Side&#8221; and &#8220;Mid Air&#8221; have a little bit more of a propulsive groove locked into the sound, whilst the other three songs employ a little bit more of the dreamscape craft. The peaks and valleys of the energy allow you to jump in emotionally, then pull back just a little for a breather, all the while your feet are constantly being washed by wave after wave of ethereal guitars and lapping melodies. Stream it all below! Standing By by Phantom Handshakes]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[Those deep into the Austin scene are looking ahead towards tomorrow when Porcelain drop the much anticipated Today&#8217;s Minor Victories, but they&#8217;ve got one more peek before the album arrives. Of the single cycle, &#8220;DSD&#8221; is definitely the most outwardly aggressive, channeling the furious pacing and emphatic crescendos that punctuate the constant discord coursing throughout. It&#8217;s a fun way to get your energy running this morning, and perhaps guide you towards picking up a copy of the LP; it arrives tomorrow via TODO.]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[The opening lines of this new BVs tune set a darkened tone, and while the dreamy jangle guitars fight against it, the moment the vocals come in to play, there&#8217;s a shadowy nature of the tune remains omnipresent. But, while one is likely to think of an ominous nature when dealing with shadowy sounds, the way the group present it feels more like a weighted blanket, meant to comfort you in every way. Taking those heavy notes in juxtaposition with the brightness of the guitars allows the group to satisfy all your pop needs in one pensive piece of pop music. I&#8217;ve already ordered my copy of Periphery, have you? It&#8217;s out on November 27th via Shelflife and KUS! periphery by the bv&#8217;s]]></description>
