Fake Palms Premieres New Single/Video "Flags"
Toronto-based post punk/lo-fi/dream punk project Fake Palms (aka Michael le Riche) has premiered the video for his new single "Flags".
The song is taken from his forthcoming third studio album 'Lemons', which will be out this Friday, September 16th via Hand Drawn Dracula Records. Pre-order your copy here.
"Flags" arrives as the final preview of the new record which, as a full piece, circles around outsider-pop, post-punk and the sound of early/mid-naughts British indie-rock. Swirling guitars bounce off of each other circling around fervent percussion before shifting into something harder-hitting across the chorus.
Speaking about it, Michael says: "'Flags' is a song about having to find where you fit within the machinery. Is it comfortable? Is it against what your beliefs are? Do you want to do it or do you have to do it? Do you feel like a traitor? Or are you scared at how much you actually enjoy it? We all seem to have these specters we answer to, these things we rally for or against subconsciously. This is kind of about what happens when you are forced to stare your decisions in the face."

Dentist Air New Single "New Dress"
New Jersey surf punk/indie rock/lo-fi band Dentist have aired their new single "New Dress".
The song is taken from their new album 'Making A Scene', out today (September 2) through Cleopatra Records. Buy it here.
Making A Scene is easily this trio’s most accomplished, catchy and engaging album to date, filled with surf-inspired guitar lines, emotive vocals and pounding drums!
“‘New Dress’ is about trying hard to reach goals, but then wondering what’s the point?” explains the band’s bassist/vocalist Emily Bornemann “The narrator is definitely a nihilist, but also believes that no matter how hard they try, it will never be good enough. Musically, we wanted the song to feel like a punk rock version of ‘Dancing in the Dark.'”

Fake Palms Drops New Single/Video "Civil Liberties"
Toronto-based post punk/lo-fi/dream punk project Fake Palms (aka Michael le Riche) has dropped the video for his ne single "Civil Liberties".
The song is taken from his forthcoming third studio album 'Lemons', which will be out on September 16th via Hand Drawn Dracula Records. Pre-order your copy here.
The haunting "Civil Liberties" comes as another refreshing reminder of le Riche's smart ability to meld outsider-pop with post-punk, coating his sound in this metallic, slick sheen. It summons the sounds of The Strokes circa Room On Fire, Iceage and Omni with a pummelling rhythm track tied to a tingly, soaring chorus that’s impossible to shake after first exposure.
“Civil Liberties” manages the trick of sounding wistful and dystopian at the same time. “This record is the most direct thing I’ve ever done,” says Le Riche. “All the distorted guitars playing 16th-note riffs in different time signatures, washes of noise and buried vocals are basically gone. In their place we made a record that’s lean and a punch to the gut."

Fake Palms Share New Single/Video "Visions"
Toronto-based post punk/lo-fi/dream punk project Fake Palms (aka Michael le Riche) has shared the video for his ne single "Visions".
The song is taken from his forthcoming third studio album 'Lemons', which will be out on September 16th via Hand Drawn Dracula Records. Pre-order your copy here.
The arch jangle of “Visions” evokes Lee Ranaldo linking up with the bubblegum-savvy early Wire while finding le Riche tapping into some of his poppiest moments as a songwriter following his previous work as Fake Palms, as well as the soupy electronica of Sauna and art-rock of Darcys. The track erupts with slashing guitar and quickfire percussion which matches Michael's vocals toe for toe. Speaking about the track, he says: "Visions" is the sound of power chords and an overactive right arm. No more intricate, overly complex guitar parts or different time signatures. It’s Buzzcocks or the Dead Boys at its core, angular and jangly. "Musically, it's the most direct thing I've ever done. No hiding behind walls of reverb, mutating time signatures, or vague lyrics."

Watch: Young Guv Reveals New Single/Video "Nervous Around U"
Canadian pop/rock artist Ben Cook aka Young Guv has revealed his new single "Nervous Around U", alongside an accompanying music video.
The song is taken from his forthcoming second full-length album 'GUV IV', out on June 24th via Run For Cover Records and via Hand Drawn Dracula (Canada). Pre-order your copy here.
Written entirely in the Sangre de Cristo mountain range of New Mexico following a cancelled tour in the spring of 2020, the songs on GUV IV range in the way that only a Young Guv record can - from Laurel Canyon jangle to British Invasion blues-pop to AM-radio Americana to the mildly sleazy electro pop on a song-by-song basis. But at its core, GUV IV is a collection of songs dedicated and testifying to the eternal healing power of love.

New Entry: Jesse D'Kora Unveils New Single "any other night"
UK-based dream pop/lo-fi/indie artist Jesse D'Kora (aka Dan Parker from Juliper Sky and Affairs) has unveiled his new single "any other night".
From Jesse: Inspired by closure and the mechanics of a disintegrating situation, any other night is a sad but also optimistic song. Musically it's got all the things you would expect from me, jangly guitars, pulsing drums, washy synths and a bitesize structure. I’d say this is a tune for a road trip, a song for winding the windows down, relaxing and taking in the views!
Take a listen below.
