GUANTANAMO BAYWATCH — Baby Please (Chest Crawl, 2012)

Portland’s Guantanamo Baywatch is set to release their newest LP Chest Crawl on May 22 via Dirtnap Records.

Fans of Shannon & The Clams or Hunx & His Punx will definitely like this group’s similar blend of reverby surf and crunchy punk, held together by the same kind of campiness that makes Hunx and Shannon so much fun to listen to. Evidence: their band name and their album artwork.

DIIV — Doused (Oshin, 2012)

Dive is now DIIV. ‘Doused’ is their new single, off of their upcoming LP Oshin out June 26 via Captured Tracks. You may remember this song from their Newtown Radio session, when it was still untitled.

DOLDRUMS — Egypt (2012)

I’m really feeling this new track from Doldrums. It’s out now on 12” vinyl via Souterrain Transmissions.

DREAM COP— Nasdaq (2012)

Latest from Blacksburg’s own Dream Cop, aka Tommy Davidson. Ch-ch-check it out. Also, heard something about a video sometime soon…

HOUNDSds — We Gotta Wait (Phone Thou, 2012)

Really into this dreamy new HOUNDSds album via Chill Mega Chill.

Give it a listen!

DIVE — Sometime (7”, 2011)

Excited to see DIVE tonight at the Black Cat — been getting really into the two singles they’ve released so far. Dive is the side project of Beach Fossils’ guitarist Cole Smith, which has released two singles so far (‘Sometime’/’Corvalis’ and ‘Human’/’Big Joke’).

They’re playing at the Black Cat tonight along with POND (which shares two of Tame Impala’s members)and OBERHOFER. Tickets at the door are $12, but you can still get them online in advance for $10. Doors open at 8 PM. Should be a great show, so if you’re in the area you should come out.

BLACK DICE — Pinball Wizard (Mr. Impossible, 2012)

Here’s the album opener from Black Dice’s forthcoming album, Mr. Impossible. The artwork is great, as usual:

Mr. Impossible is out April 10 via Ribbon Music.

MAC DEMARCO — Baby’s Wearing Blue Jeans (Rock And Roll Night Club EP, 2012)

Looking forward to hearing more from new Captured Tracks artist Mac Demarco’s upcoming EP, Rock and Roll Night Club which is due out March 20. This is ‘Baby’s Wearing Blue Jeans’ from it.

Listen to some other songs at his Bandcamp.

GRIMES — Ambrosia (Visions, 2012)

I thought you might be interested in hearing this bonus track called ‘Ambrosia’ from the Canadian version of Grimes’ album Visions, which was recently ripped and uploaded to the internet…

HONEYDRUM — Stranger Calls (2012)

Honeydrum has a new song up on their Bandcamp for the rest of the day called ‘Stranger Calls.’ I’m loving the Ariel Pink vibes on the track. ‘Stranger Calls’ is posted in anticipation of Honeydrum’s upcoming 7” release.

Check it out, it’s only available for free download today!
