Beat The Delete #0196 (Weekly New Music Recommendations)
Thanks very much for joining us for Beat The Delete #0196 and apologies for the delay. Unfortunately the South African Government in their infinite wisdom are turning off the electricity for 12 hours a day and imposing water restrictions as their is not enough electricity to pump the generally plentiful supplies from the reservoirs…fun indeed, but at least it is sunny!
Anyway, enough of my woes. Here are 16 new and new(ish) tracks that we hope will enable you to find some new favourites or become re-acquainted with old ones.
Track:Black Hills From: Eventide (album) Label:Eats It Out: Now
With the dreamy, subtle gaze of Daywave and the lucid, jangled riffs of Beach House or Real Estate, this lo-fi recording project is drizzled with beauty and musicality in equal measures.
Track:In Your Eyes From: To All The Distance Between Us (album) Label:Shelflife Records / Discos De Kirlian / Subjangle Out: Album out 21.04.23
Their first music in almost three years and the first single from their forthcoming album, In Your Eyes, reminds us of the sheer jangling, harmonic, and almost hypnotic beauty of this Seattle-based foursome
Track:Nicotine From: Nicotine (single) Label:Self released Out: Now
With their languid, jangly melancholy, this Brisbane-based quartet colours the musical hinterland somewhere between Elliott Smith and Dreamback.
BennyHonda Super Shifter
Track:Nicotine From: Carry Me Home + Talk + Terrified (EP) Label:Self released Out: Now
BennyHonda Super Shifter is Ben Hackett’s (The Hernies) solo project. This track has the kind of appeal that your mouse subconsciously gravitates to, with its Gorgeous Bully style fuzz-gaze intent and gloriously washed out vocals.
Track:High At The Gym From: It’s Lighter Than You Think (album) Label:Self released Out: Now
Long time friends of these Beat The Delete pages, Silver Liz and this superb track grind Mo Troper fuzz through twee-pop cutesy melodic to provide one of the unsung tracks of 2022.
Track:Closing In From: She Steals Candy (single) Label:Fabcom! Out: Now
Imagine Mitski pressing the 60s melodic pop button and adding perfectly cool disinterested vocals, and you’ve almost arrived at the musical ballpark where teenage New Jersey-ite Juniper Berry reigns supreme.
Track:Closing In From: Closing In (single) Label:Self released Out: Now
Jangly dreamy gaze that combines a Hater-style jangle-gaze essence with a Holy Now sweetness, whilst always keeping one eye upon Plumface indietronica.
Track:Clinging to the Ground From: Clinging to the Ground (single) Label:Self released Out: Now
From the The Revue zine, just because it is so good…“There are many things that draw listeners into the music of Cathedral Bells. The Matt Messore-led project creates some immersive shoegaze-infused bedroom-pop.
It’s a style that pairs perfectly with the intense sounds of Philly’s Rew, led by Andrew Fusca. Anyone who’s heard these two beforehand knows how well their styles would fit together, and, for the uninitiated, it’s immediately obvious with their new collaborative single, Clinging to the Ground“
Track:Can I Go Away From: Away (single) Label:Self released Out: Now
Amor Amor are the duo of ChianoSkyand Sasha Righini from Cape Town, South Africa. This is music that should accompany your most precious moments of sunshine, with indie-pop commerciality married to dry twanging riffs and surf-laden hooks.
Track:When You Stop From: Remember Never Before (album) Label:Self released Out: Now
Canadian alternative rockers who combine dual vocal trade-offs and harmonies with the sharpest of jangly dream-pop sensibilities to create the most relevant muscular beauty available.
Track:Courtesy From: Courtesy (album) Label:Ampersounds Records Out: Now
Lifted directly from their press release “Showcasing the first reveal from their debut EP out later this year, the South Yorkshire four-piece are a shaken bottle ready to burst, with a raw, undefinable sound drawing inspiration from a varied spectrum of the indie landscape”.
