Spanish Love Songs "Brave Faces Everyone (Pure Noise)"

From Spanish Love Songs:
Brave Faces Everyone, Spanish Love Songs‘ third full-length is due out on February 7 via Pure Noise Records, with lead vocalist and guitarist Dylan Slocum explaining: “This album is us honing in on what we think makes our band resonate with people – namely, the feeling that you’re not alone. These are songs about looking outward and finding that, for all our differences, most of us are just trying to get by as the world is going to hell around us. We don’t have any grand ambitions beyond that – we just want people to feel acknowledged. There’s comfort in knowing we’re on the same sinking ship. We want the album to be a knowing nod and a way to make the world a slightly more bearable, even if it’s just for 40 minutes.”
Check out the lead single from the album “Kick.”

Nada Surf "Never Not Together (Barsuk)"

You know, we’d like to think that the name of the newest Nada Surf album Never Not Together (Barsuk) is in reference to us. After all, BRM historians know that they were the first band we ever got a license for! So in reality, we’ve never not been together with Nada Surf, and we wouldn’t have it any other way! The hooks! The guitars! The rock! The pop! There is very little we can say about Nada Surf that we haven’t said a million times before–so start with album opener “So Much Love” for the happiest love song of the year.

youbet "Compare & Desire (Ba Da Bing!)"

Trippy, sunny, and fun. Three words that describe very little during the gloomy east coast winters. Except! Compare & Desire (Ba Da Bing), the new album from Youbet. Imagine a world where Cate LeBon was a member of early Foxygen. Things change operatically and weave in and out of 60s hippie rock, angular indie changes, and surprising quirk bombs. Happy and disturbing, this is an album that contains multitudes (like the best candy bars). Check out the first single “Bite.”

Squirrel Flower "I Was Born Swimming (Polyvinyl)"

from Polyvinyl:
 
Squirrel Flower’s music is ethereal and warm, brimming over with emotional depth but with a steely eyed bite and confidence in it’s destination. The band on I Was Born Swimming plays with delicate intention, keeping the arrangements natural and light while Williams’ lead guitar is often fiercely untethered. The album was tracked live, with few overdubs, at The Rare Book Room Studio in New York City with producer Gabe Wax (Adrienne Lenker, Palehound, Cass McCombs). The musicians were selected by Wax and folded themselves into the songs effortlessly. At the heart of the album lives Williams’ haunting voice and melancholic, soulful guitar. 
Check out the hypnotic “Headlights.”
