This year's most adored Vancouver chillwave phenomenon
Teen Daze finished a new track last night and kindly shared it with the world right away.
Watch Over Me is another pure bliss that instantly made me forget about all that rain and storm and bare trees outside my window and took me too a warmer, friendlier place. Though overall rather melancholically toned, the tune still evokes memories of sunshine, and isn't that exactly why we love this dude so much?

Fresh out of the Brooklyn ovens comes a glooming new
Night Manager tune, slightly slower and considerably darker like your favorite post Halloween nightmare.
I Want the Knife once again exposes the quartet's striking approach towards hazy and fuzzed out pop music, inheriting the most rewarding features of all decades to come up with something new.

So folks, it's about time to lose it again with Miami's staggering quintet
Lil Daggers, an almost ridiculously true-to-the-concept garage outfit that simply provides everything we ever expected from this kind of music, dirty organ riffs and distorted guitar washes and casually dashed off vocals. In other words, pure, good old d.i.y. glory is what we're talking about here.
The
King Corpse four track 7 inch is available via
Livid Records.

Completely psyched by this mellow piece of straight-up Californian surf pop perfection, a song that makes you feel like it's 1969 again.
Triptides is a thrilling young trio from Bloomington, Indiana, and according to themselves they play "the best damn landlocked surf music you've ever heard", and god I'm sure they're absolutely right on this one. Their debuting self-titled EP has been put up to their
bandcamp today, so head over and grab the whole thing for free. All six songs are absolutely worth checking out.

LA's
Lord Huron returns just in time to let a little sunshine into our grey and rainy November days with his new
Mighty EP, the second output after June's much acclaimed debut
Into The Sun. My favorite song of the four track piece is
Son of a Gun, a summery tune composed of rhythmic guitar chords and Lord Huron's signature vocal harmonies, a hazy production that instantly leaves you with warming memories of this summer which now, somehow suddenly, already lies in the past.
Though slow-burning, the song's complex arrangement subtly builds tension along its way - without slipping into lazy namedropping, it is rather obvious that Lord Huron gets a considerable amount of inspiration from the predominating musical trends of the last two years, but unlike so many contemporaries the outfit's incredible talent results in the creation of freshly sounding, gorgeous little masterpieces nonetheless.
The whole
Mighty EP is available for a very reasonable amount of money via Lord Huron's
bandcamp.

Pigeons'
Si Faustine on
Olde English Spelling Bee has probably been my favorite unexpected release this year with its otherworldly beautiful psyched out bedroom pop that has kept me dreaming along for an alarming amount of days now (as a little reminder, watch the video for my album fav
Fade Away below), and yesterday I got noticed that while I was kept being spellbound in the Bronx duo's wonderland, Wednesday Knudsen and Clark Griffin themselves had wasted no time to come up with more pure splendor. The sweet Minneapolis imprint
Soft Abuse has announced two upcoming Pigeons releases, their third full length
Liasons (sic) and the
Visions of the Valley 7 inch. The single is already available, the album will be released on November 16. Listen to
The Race and the unbelievably wonderful
No Other Way, both from Liasons, as well as the 7 inch's b-side
Sunset Park below.
