If It's Too Loud...

A pretty stacked new release week this week. Album of the Week : Artist : CHVRCHES Album : Every Open Eye Quick Description : Sophomore effort by one of the most buzzed-about bands going right now. Why You Should Listen : You found their version of synth-heavy indie rock appealing during their first album; you like staying on top of the trends. Overall Thoughts : In a way, CHVRCHES couldn't win with this album. The anticipation was huge, the mythology behind things ever-growing.

Norway's Level & Tyson have their sophomore album coming out in September, and you can check out one of the fuzz pop band's newest songs now. "No Fun My Head" is a beautiful, noisy burst that combines Psychic Hearts  era Thurston Moore with early Superdrag. The whole thing sounds like Sonic Youth deciding to take a swing for the fences and craft a top 40 hit. It wouldn't have made it, of course, but the intent was there. With its swirling, fuzzy as hell guitars, it will be the most 90s song you hear all day even if you play your 90s alternative Spotify playlist all day. Level & Tyson's new album, Gruesome Twosome, is due out September 25 on DIG! Records. You can listen to "No Fun My Head" below. Also, be sure to check out their website and Facebook to keep up with them.
