Y'all have gotta be sick of hearing this by now. Ever since Thee Sinseers announced Love Stories back in May, every month we bring you a new single and talk about how it's a timeless soul song that can appeal to virtually every generation. Well, the album comes out Friday, and today they released a new single, "Oh Love." And, here we go again gushing about a new single from Thee Sinseers, and talking about how it's the finest that neo-soul has to offer, and that it has a timeless sound. But... "Oh Love" really is a great single that you're going to want to check out. We were already fully onboard with the East Los Angeles band, and this new single only makes us bigger fans, and has us even more excited for Love Stories. 

You can listen to "Oh Love" below. Love Stories is due out September 18 on Colemine Records, and is available to pre-order through Bandcamp. For more on Thee Sinseers, check out the band on Instagram and Facebook. Upcoming tour dates are below the video and include December 4 at Brighton Music Hall in Boston, MA and December 5 at The Stone Church in Brattleboro, VT.

On Repeat...

Failure - "The Air's on Fire"

By -

Photo by Lyndsey Byrnes With their upcoming seventh overall studio album, the highly influential band Failure will have released more albums since reuniting in 2014 than they did during their first run. The first single from that album, "The Air's on Fire," shows the band expanding their sound while still being rooted in what has always made them great. The song is a dark and moody one that is always threatening to explode but never quite does. This is an example of 90's alt-rock meets art rock at its very finest. It's the kind of song that could easily have come out thirty years ago, but that doesn't mean it sounds dated. After the first listen, "The Air's on Fire" will sound like a killer alt-rocker from a 90's band that hasn't lost a step at all. The more you listen, the more complex Failure get on the single, and the more the song reveals itself to you. Ken Andrews says of his band's latest single: “That song is directly about my ...

Hiding Places - "Waiting"

By -

Photo by Calli Westra Brooklyn's Hiding Places are originally from North Carolina, and that sound is all over their latest single. "Waiting" has a strong alt-country meets dark indie rock sound. The song is as hypnotic as it is heartbreaking. Even if you're not paying attention to the lyrics, the vibe of the song is overwhelmingly dark and somber. There's plenty of country twang and indie rock fuzz throughout the song, with the music carrying the weight of the song as much as vocalist/guitarist Nicholas Byrne's voice does. The song is stunning, both in its beauty and mood. I feel like I've been sitting on "Waiting" for a while now until I could fully wrap my head around it. Hiding Places has something truly special here. Nicholas Byrne says of his band's latest single: "Hiding Places’ first bassist, Anthony Cozzarelli, left the band in July of 2022. I wrote the chorus the day before Anthony left the band. I recalled the slow death of my ...

Mama's Broke - "How it Ends"

By -

Mama's Broke, the post-folk Canadian duo of Lisa Maria and Amy Lou Keeler, have just released a break up song that might be their most accessible yet. While the previous singles from their upcoming album have a certain darkness or a sense of foreboding, "How it Ends" sounds relatively upbeat. Considering this is a song about how you never think you'll find someone as good as your ex after a break up, that's quite a feat. This is a traditional folk song with some slightly modern folk harmonies. As much heartbreak as their is in "How it Ends," there is also the warmth of remembering a recent relationship. You can listen to "How it Ends" below. Narrow Line is due out May 13 on Free Dirt Records, and can be pre-ordered here . For more on Mama's Broke, check out the artist's website .
