Kindsight

Track: Queen of Cowboys From:  Swedish Punk (Album) Label: Rama Lama Records Out: Now

This is the fourth and final single from the highly anticipated Swedish Punk album that is out on Rama Lama Records on 25.03.22 and shows this Danish act at their most indie-pop jangly !

Papercuts

Track: Lodger From: Past Life Regression (album) Label: Slumberland Records Out: Now

This recording project of San Francisco’s, Jason Quever, takes a Manchester (Madchester / Baggy) core and threads it through dreamy psychelia. The forthcoming Past Life Regression album, could be one of the albums of 2022 if the three singles released so far are indicative.

Golden Alphabet

Track: Ring Every Bell From: Ring Every Bell (single) Label: Self released Out: Now

Brooklyn, NY, based quintet that effortlessly finds the sweet spot between San Fran 60’s psyche-pop, The Byrds style jangled riffs and all that can be cool about indie folk.

Phoebe’s Dad

Track: Sit Still From: Sit Still (single) Label: Self released Out: Now

Bedroom-pop mix of subtle slacker-pop and bedroom-pop, layered with dry, twang laden riffs that piercing the core.

Feeble Little Horse

Track: Modern Tourism From: Modern Tourism (EP) Label: Crafted Sounds Out: Now

Flat stringed jangle-pop, that flips between melody and perfect, lo-fi/bedroom-pop disinterest. It may not be a new release, but it is too good not to mention and has now been re-issued on Crafted Sounds.

Diet Lite

Track: Stuck Again From: Stuck Again (single) Label: Self released Out: Now

Dynamic mix of pop punk / power-pop energy, mixed with a 60s psych-rock edge from a Milwaukee based threesome that never take their foot of the power pedal !

Royal Target

Track: Losing Your Way From: Losing Your Way (Single) Label: Self released Out: Now

This Munich based solo project has been something of a regular feature on the Beat The Delete pages, with numerous singles that cover just about every nuance of jangle-pop you can think of. This is the first time he has added jangle to early era The Cure though and he pulls it off with aplomb !

The Magnetic Library

Track: Sorry From: A Stupid Smile (single) Label: Self released Out: Now

This fo-fi / jangly psyche-rock project led by Los Angeles based Morgan MacDonald  lies somewhere between the languid, lo-fi emotionality of Big Thief and the slight fuzz laden twang of The Umbrella Puzzles…Their bandcamp notes states “make music no one listens to”. Now that would be a shame.

Otra Vez

Track: Donuts in the Parking Lot From: Special World (album) Label: Ghostie Recordings Out: Album release TBA

Obtuse, off-kilter, lo-fi indie that grabs you by your most melodic parts with it’s mixture of flat Pavement style riffs and Mac DeMarco sanguine, slacker playfulness.

Christian James

Track: You Got Me Feeling Excited From: You Got Me Feeling Excited (single) Label: Self released Out: Now

Perfect mixture of lo-fi rock, Mo Troper leftfield fuzz and melodic riffs that just about force their way through the buzzsaw guitars.

Sierra Fotouhi

Track: Altadena From: Altadena (single) Label: Self released Out: Album release TBA

After this debut single, it may be a tad premature to start comparing this beautiful introspective sound to the likes of The Churchill Garden’s dream-pop sweetness…but there, it is done !

Nari

Track: 7UP From: Greener on the Other Side (album) Label: Park The Van Records Out: Album release TBA

Emotional response to the struggles of some with a drink problem coursed through the languid, lo-fi jangly that is so reminiscent of beautiful Frankie Cosmos sound.
