Craft Spells – 'Leave My Shadow'

California’s Craft Spells release their new EP ‘Gallery’ via Captured Tracks on May 15 (pre-order here). To whet your appetite, here’s a new tune called ‘Leave My Shadow’ (via Klubb Ace). It’s a new wave delivery with punchy electro drums, jangly guitars and new romantic vocals. Hello 1984! The lead single ‘Still Left With Me‘ followed a similar sound, a departure from the bedroom pop of their debut LP ‘Idle Labor’.

Pond – 'You Broke My Cool'

If vintage psych rock flips your pancakes then checkout Pond’s new record ‘Beard, Wives, Denim’ (released last month through Spinning Top/Modular). Recorded on a farm in their hometown of Perth, Western Australia, this record is full of warm keys, screeching guitar tones and crunchy drums. The retro sounding production treats the vocals on ‘You Broke My Cool’ with a dose of bouncy slap back delay (kinda like the P.A system at your local school hall)!
