Che Arthur – “The Sliver”

3 hours ago
Obscure SoundAn angsty rock sound commands on “The Sliver,” a single out today from Che Arthur. The second track release from Arthur’s fourth solo album, For That Which Now Lies Fallow, “The Sliver” invigorates with melodic vocal snarls and a distortion-friendly array of guitars that conjure a riveting ’90s alt-rock nostalgia; Husker Du and Dinosaur Jr are among the likenesses, aesthetically. The ten songs across For That Which Now Lies Fallow encompass Arthur’s personal struggles, ranging from aging and isolation to health challenges, and “The Sliver” specifically emphasizes the power of hope in the thick of it all. The “sliver of The post Che Arthur – “The Sliver” appeared first on Obscure Sound: Indie Music Blog. more info

Courting – “Battle”

8 hours ago
Stereogum It’s only been two months since New Last Name, the album that inspired us to name the shamelessly poppy, delightfully pretentious Liverpool rock group Courting a Band To Watch. But Sean Murphy-O’Neill and friends are already back today with their first new single since the LP. “Battle” was recorded during the New Last Name sessions, and it naturally exudes a similar vibe, channeling 2000s touchstones like the Strokes and the Killers into a more modern, Auto-Tuned package. Listen below. more info

Sofia Bolt – “Bus Song” (Feat. Stella Donnelly)

9 hours ago
Stereogum About two months ago, Sofia Bolt introduced sophomore album Vendredi Minuit with “Go Away.” Today she’s got another single for your consideration, this time a duet with a noteworthy indie-rock figure. Stella Donnelly shows up on “Bus Song,” which, for better or worse, is not a Jay Som cover. Instead, it’s a chic, dreamy pop song that reminds me of Broadcast if they ever got an exorcism. Real nice low-key sax action on this one. Listen below, where you can also find Bolt’s remaining dates supporting Laetitia Sadier of Stereolab. more info

Lorde – “Take Me To The River” (Talking Heads/Al Green Cover)

1 day ago
Stereogum Because of its connection to A24’s theatrical reissue of the Stop Making Sense concert film last year, the new compilation Everyone’s Getting Involved: A Tribute To Talking Heads’ Stop Making Sense feels like it has been rolling out forever. Two singles from the album have emerged so far, Paramore’s version of “Burning Down The House” and Teezo Touchdown’s take on “Making Flippy Floppy.” Miley Cyrus also previewed her countrified spin on “Psycho Killer.” more info

Kings Of Leon – “Split Screen”

9 hours ago
Stereogum Can We Please Have Fun, the new album from Kings Of Leon, is dropping in May. Lead single “Mustang” percolated with an ’80s rock energy, seasoned with twang and topped off with Caleb Followil’s yowling exclamations. “Split Screen,” the new single out today, is much tamer and moodier. A soft but incessant pulse leads KOL through an emotionally charged chord progression, resulting in a power ballad that definitely could have soundtracked a pivotal moment on an episode of Grey’s Anatomy (and maybe still could, given that, much like Kings Of Leon, the show is still going). Listen below. more info
