Mother - https://twitter.com/MOTHXR

We’re really liking the sound of this new Brooklyn band, who craft dense, synth soundscapes but turn them into something pretty euphoric. 

Flyte - https://twitter.com/Flyteband

Now signed to Island Records, this is lovely upbeat indie pop being tipped by a lot of people.

Hawkon - https://twitter.com/hawkonfire_

He’s worked with Kindness and now launching as a solo act, we’ve really liking the sound of this new electronic soul project.

Pangea - https://twitter.com/togetherPANGEA

New LA garage rock band who are causing a bit of a stir with new single ‘Badillac’ and no wonder, it’s a bit of a beast.

Attu - https://twitter.com/attuband

Premiered by our friends at DIY Magazine, this synth pop band’s debut single ‘Hibernate’ is a beautiful soaring work.

Chaos Chaos - http://twitter.com/chaoschaosband

New songwriter and multi-instrumentalist who’s debut track was unveiled on many blogs this week and sounds wonderful, all 

Louis Berry - https://twitter.com/LouisBerryOffic

Another one wearing their influences on their sleeve, Liverpool’s Louis Berry’s voice simply rips across this track, and can imagine live it’s pretty special.

Teardrop Factory - https://twitter.com/teardropfactory

Brighton duo making some fine destructive noise together that fans of Hookworms will love.

You may remember we released the Little Racer debut 7" "The Town" / "Split For The Coast" in late 2011, we're excited to announce that the three piece from Brooklyn are back with an incredible follow up EP. Drawing on an eclectic range of influences from New Order to Cat Stevens, Elliot, Wade and Ish continue to play in New York - Catch them tonight at Pianos and on the 22nd Nov at Cake Shop.
Taken from the forthcoming EP we have "Vanessa" available to download, a heartbreaker of a song, as Elliot puts it "What do you say about someone who made you forget who you are without ever revealing themselves? Vanessa is and will always be a stranger to me."

Vanessa - Little Racer

Introducing one quarter of San Francisco’s Cool Ghouls, Pat Thomas! He’s the tall dude who plays the bass.  He also writes one third of the Ghouls' songs.  Coasters Riding in the Air is a collection of songs written, performed and recorded by Pat Thomas.
 
The Cool Ghouls have made a name for themselves. Their soulful tunes and energetic live set have earned the band back-to-back slots with toast of the coast acts like Sonny and the Sunsets, Thee Oh Sees, The Fresh and Onlys, Mikal Cronin, Fuzz, Magic Trick and Shannon and the Clams etc., and they have no plans to slow their role.  It has been less than a year since Cool Ghouls released their self-titled debut with Empty Cellar and Burger Records, and a new full-length album (recorded by Sonny Smith) is already in the can.  The above in mind, one might guess that the Ghouls have their hands full; but like label-mate and fellow San Franciscan, Tim Cohen… Pat has more songs than any one band is prepared to handle.
 
So as the Ghouls keep on truckin’, Thomas is offering this batch of solo material, Coasters Riding in the Air.  He wants to keep the songs flowing; to convey another corner of the musical realm that he and Cool Ghouls inhabit; but mostly, because he recorded ‘em and he’d like to share ‘em.  Pat laid these tracks at a leisurely pace, coming back to them whenever he could.  He plays everything on the album, except for some saxophone and trombone lines played by Ryan Wong and Richard Harkins.  The result is an ear-pleasing contemporary take on classic west coast rock ‘n’ roll. These songs were seen through for their own sake and good thing, because they are great.  They are infectious all-around-rad tunes; and now that they are here in the world with us, they’re free to go and do what they please.
 
Coasters Riding in the Air will see a limited label-only release on November 26 (with a December 3rd wide-release) via digital download on Empty Cellar and on cassette from Burger Records.

Taken from Teardrop Factory's debut album 'Thrash in the Heart', released via Faux Discx on September 15, 2014.

Pre-order here: 
http://fauxdiscx.bandcamp.com/album/thrash-in-the-heart

----------------------------------------------------------------------

Teardrop Factory's debut album 'Thrash in the Heart' falls into existence in a swirling haze of broken sleep, streams of consciousness and teen despondency.

They pick up from where they left last year's excellent 'Topshop EP' but expand their alternative 90s worshiping earworms with an added layer of noise. Grit and scuzz consume 13 pop songs about mermaids, electric ghosts, car crashes, geometry, surfing, eating insects, video games and lucid dreams.

Made at home by the band and recorded in their bathroom, then mixed with Julian Tardo (Church Rd Studios / Bowlegs) and finally, mastered with MJ (Hookworms) at Suburban Home.

Philadelphia, PA’s Literature features Kevin Attics, Nathaniel Cardaci, Chris Schackerman, and Seth Whaland. Attics, who’d written for numerous music trades as a teen, met Cardaci and Whaland at the house venue they both operated in Austin, TX. Cardaci and Whaland each ran small imprint labels and, a million adventures later, the trio decided to form a band. Upon moving to Philadelphia the group befriended Schackerman who also joined the fold. 

In 2012, following a well-received single and a track on Gerard Cosloy’s “Casual Victim Pile II” compilation they released their debut album, "Arab Spring," which became a cult hit within the indiepop community. That album is sharp and immediate, almost mod-ish in its attack, but always tuneful and going for melody where it counts. They toured the US in support, and have performed with the likes of The Pains of Being Pure at Heart, Eternal Summers, Ted Leo, Sic Alps, White Fence, Gentlemen Jesse, Hospitality, and Brown Recluse. They also appeared on Terre T's Cherry Blossom Clinic.

In 2013 they released a follow-up 7”, “Tie Dye” and contributed a track to Esopus Magazine alongside artists like Jens Lekman and The Shins. They also played at that year’s NYC Popfest, which helped cement the buzz that was steadily growing amongst savvy pop fans. "Arab Spring" was treated to a re-mastered re-press, which followed the first pressing and quickly sold out.

Autumn of 2013 saw the band begin work on their second album, "Chorus," with lauded engineer Gary Olson (whose body of work includes records by Crystal Stilts, Mad Scene and The Beets) at his Marlborough Farms studio in Brooklyn, NY. As a beautiful autumn turned into one of the harshest winters in recent memory, Olson and the band began stretching out, enhancing the album with studio techniques dating back to the late 60s including true-tape flanging, sending vocals through Leslie speaker cabinets, and the same analog style of automatic double-tracking created at Abbey Road Studios.

The result is an album that is as immediate as it is timeless, full of effortlessly catchy and well-crafted tunes that echo pop legends like Smiths and Orange Juice. All of that time in the studio has resulted in a rich, considered sound that puts the band's arranging and playing front and center. "Chorus" is one of the most exciting pop records in years, and marks Literature at true contenders.

White Sands are Conan Roberts (Mazes), Sophy Hollington (Novella) and John Arthur Webb (Male Bonding).  

With the obvious soundings and influence from their respective ‘other’ projects, White Sands heightens a darker and far more furious edge to any of those previous. ‘The Wait’ drives like a freight train, packing 182 seconds of lucid frustration – “hide everything deep inside / you won’t find anything”.
 
‘The Wait’ is set to be released as a 7” flexidisc accompanied by a 20 page magazine / 3 track digi-single. We have elected to release music in this format as we were getting a bit frustrated with the standard 7” release and realised we could be giving you plenty more for your money. 

Tracklisting:

1. The Wait
2. Expect Nothing
3. Years
 
The release is ltd to 300 copies and set to be released through Art Is Hard on the 6th October. Pre-order is available from http://artishardrecords.co.uk now.
