Walter TV – Blessed (2015)

Mac DeMarco’s live cohorts Joe McMurray and Pierce McGarry have announced they’ve got another album in the can from their own wild and wacky pop project, Walter TV. The pair’s latest long-player is dubbed Blessed, and Sinderlyn will have it out on June 23.

The group had formed out on the West Coast, with debut LP Appetite having been tracked in the basement of a house situated in a beach town outside of Vancouver. A press release explains that Blessed was written and recorded after McMurray and McGarry hightailed it to Montreal.

Sitcom – What’s Up (2015)

Baltimore’s Jake Lazovick has been putting out music for a few years now, usually under his own name, sometimes with his band Foozle, and more recently as Sitcom. In January, he released Drum Set, a collection of understated electronic-tinged pop songs. For his next album, What’s Up, he’s turning back towards the homespun rock that he got started on: “Ginger Ale” kicks off with a thumping drum, and carries itself on a mechanical rhythm, with a few welcoming experimental flourishes along the way.

Hypnodrone Ensemble – The Shape of Space (2015)

Hypnodrone Ensemble was birthed early last year when Canadian experimental / ambient guitarists Aidan Baker (Nadja, Caudal) and Eric Quach (Thisquietarmy) recruited a trio of drummers in the form of David Dunnett, Jeremie Mortier and Felipe Salazar to accompany them for a live performance at Berlin’s NK venue.
The resulting recording of the show then went on to become the band’s debut self-titled album on Consouling Sounds. Just a few months on, ‘The Shape Of Space’ offers up a speedy follow-up, basing itself around just two tracks that each stretch past the 20 minute mark, apparently whittled down from several hours of studio recordings and featuring new recruit Gareth Sweeney on bass.

Shilpa Ray – Last Year’s Savage (2015)

Shilpa Ray has led many different lives. She founded a band called Beat the Devil, an experiment in grafting punk sounds onto Indian time signatures, which disbanded not long after its eponymous EP in 2006. She then became the lead singer of Shilpa Ray and Her Happy Hookers, a more blues-oriented garage rock band that split up in 2011. In the aftermath of a second breakup, Ray spent time touring with Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds, releasing new solo music along the way. Eventually, she teamed up with pedal steel guitarist/bassist Jon “Catfish” DeLorme, guitarist/bassist Alistair Paxton, and drummer Russ Lemkin for her latest venture, this time just as Shilpa Ray.

Little Wings – Explains (2015)

Real Estate’s Alex Bleeker said in a statement, “Kyle Field, professionally known as Little Wings, is a living legend. He is the modern embodiment of the traveling bard and the singing troubadour. Kyle’s discography is vast and impressive, full of tunes that are plucked from the lexicon of great American songwriting. On his latest effort, Explains, he crafts melodies so haunting and familiar; it’s as if he’s not composing them at all. He is tapping into something greater, acting as a vessel for the collective unconscious that is folk music.”

Prinzhorn Dance School – Home Economics (2015)

Prinzhorn Dance School arrived fully formed with the minimal post-punk of 2007’s self-titled debut and, following 2012’s more leisurely Clay Class, Home Economics continues to finesse, rather than develop, the Brighton-based duo’s bass and drums blueprint.
According to a press release, Tobin Prinz and Suzi Horn’s third outing hears them veering further away from the minimalist austerity that comprised their self-titled debut and further embracing the “human warmth” introduced on Clay Class.
The new songs were inspired by a string of American live shows in 2013 and recorded on the move between apartments in the UK cities of Brighton and Hove.

Munroe – Munroe EP (2015)

Although she's currently based in Los Angeles (acting on ABC's Resurrection), the songstress found the time to team up with fellow Hamilton music maker Michael Keire to co-produce the record. The seven-song offering showcases Munroe's dad-taught guitar work, and her own self-learned skills on the piano and ukulele. She cites musical inspirations like Mazzy Star, Best Coast, Timber Timbre and Angel Olsen, which weave their way in to the hauntingly sparse, sometimes dark songs on Munroe.

Communions – Communions EP (2015)

The self-titled EP from Scandanavian quartet Communions melts in the sun like a block of ice. Their warm, dreamy melodies move in swirling, glacial drifts. And for those of you living under said glacier, Denmark is the new frontier for noise-pop these days with the recent outpour of similar sounding bands like Lust For Youth, Iceage, and Low.
