The anthemic yet restrained (a very potent combination) “Something to Give” is the second half of COMPNY’s debut AA-side single with “Begging Me to Come Back”. The melodic quality and high-level caliber of arrangement mark of “Something to Give” again mark COMPNY as a band with considerable talent and promise. “Begging Me To Come Back/Something Had To Give” sees a release September 15th on 203 Recordings/Believe Recordings.

“Radiance” is single #2 from She Keeps Bees (following-up the great Sharon Van Etten-featuring “Is What It Is”) upcoming Eight Houses LP for Future Gods Records. Vocalist Jessica Larrabee’s many-textured alto is again standout; as each melodic ache and twist on “Radiance” is believably and dynamically phrased. September 16th is the street date for Eight Houses.

“Illume” is the second track to originate from UK newcomers Osca. The follow-up to the Zane Lowe-approved “Blood”, “Illume” is a rather huge song; blending anthemic melodic hooks with artful arranging, poignant lyricism and that je nai se quoi of British-styled yearning that on which major chart crossover success is constructed. Stream our U.S. premiere of “Illume” below and if you’re in London look for the band supporting Walking on Cars at Electrowerkz on September 10.

Johnny Marr returns this October with his second solo album Playland. He has said this effort will be a bit more raw. “Easy Money” is the first single and it’s killer! It starts with that signature Marr guitar sound and blasts into a rocker with a full-on bass grove and a chorus that just might be all over the radio in coming months. Following October dates in the UK, he returns to the US and will be hopefully be hitting a venue near you before year’s end.

“Indigo Puff” is a brand new track from UK buzz band Sundara Karma. The Chess Club alums are again outfitted on “Indigo Puff” with the same quality of soaring anthemic choruses and tinges of more obtuse UK indie as on breakout track “Cold Heaven”. Get yr hands on this one before Zane Lowe does.

We love The Dirty Nil. The Canadian maniacs have a new single out on Fat Wreck Chords and the disto punisher b-side (a/w “Cinnamon”) “Guided By Vices” (brand new on Soundcloud today) rules.

In what seems to be a slap in the face to all other female fronted acts, LA based Dorothy doesn’t minx words or attitude. This collective want to rock and party right fucking now. Taking the LA scene by storm and grabbing the attention of almost the whole music industry with the southern-fried “After Midnight”, Dorothy return with “Wild Fire”. The tune is another gun-slingin’, face melting rock track that should be played at full volume. Listen below. Review By Brian Litwin
