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.

Say Hi "Diamonds & Donuts"

(trying my hardest to resist the urge to write “Say hi to the new Say Hi album). So, uh… please… (don’t do it) uh… welcome the new… I’m sorry Eric! I can’t do it! Please, everyone, say hi to the new Say Hi album! (whew. I feel so much better now). Diamonds & Donuts is as much fun as one can have listening to an indie-pop, quirky danceable rock album. Eric Elbogen’s Say Hi project is as close to a genre unto itself as any artist recording music today. Fun. Electro. Generally concept-y in album release. Fun visuals. Really, it is it’s own thing. As is evidenced by the A-1 fun song of the year, the earworm “Lookachu.”

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.”

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.”
