Hello there folks, and welcome back to the internet. I apologise for the lack of a Friday Fives post this week, but after the Sparrow and the Workshop album launch at the Caves on Thursday night I was pretty bloody hungover on Friday and never quite managed to look the internet in the eye all day. It was all shit TV and worse food before wandering into town to do it all again with eagleowl. This week is relatively quiet on the gig front, but there are one or two interesting things happening of which you may wish [...]
The VPME As most music fans will tell you, there are certain record labels whose tastes you trust, Soft Power Records who describe themselves as 'a tiny indie record label in Scotland' are one such label and they have been on a roll of late. Their continued excellence continues with the release of a brand new five track E.P 'Move On' by Parisian Indie outfit ‘ Beat Mark. ’ Despite the recent boom in the popularity of electronic music from France, not every band across the channel aspires to be the next Air or [...]
HUNK are a new lovable garage-rock trio from Dublin. If you’re a regular visitor to Hand Clap, then it would almost impossible not to enjoy the antics on their debut cassette release “Dupe”. Driving through with peppy female vocals, this tune has a life of it’s own, always seemingly getting faster and faster as it progresses. The energy is relentless. I now know I must see this played live, to ensure my happiness in the future. The single will be out December 17th with only 100 cassettes being released. Pre-order now [...]
A short while ago I raved about the new 73 from The Spook School, and they're wasting no time getting back at it again with this excellent new cassette EP on Soft Power Records/Vinyl . When the song opens it's just casual twee pop, which is all well and good, but when they blast off at the 20 second mark, you'll feel your heart jump for joy. It's a joyous jangling pop tune trading male and female vocal parts throughout the tune. If you're in search of some ramshackle [...]
The VPME We interrupt our "Tips or 20133 coverage to bring you news of three rather excellent new tunes! You Walk Through Walls 'Say Goodbye' is just one of a quintet of outstanding tunes from by You Walk Through Walls' forthcoming début EP. If driving chiming walls of guitar, yearning sweeping melodies reminiscent of early Ride are your thing, then You Walk Through Walks will certainly tick all your musical boxes. Full of subtle desolate beauty and understated drama, the "Destroyed [...]
I'm not a fan of comparing a new band to another. Mainly because I don't think it's fair to either group, also because it's lazy, and finally because I'm usually not smart enough to think of a good comparison. But 'Green Eyed' by September Girls sounds like early Horrors but [Read more]
Soft Power Records , piccola etichetta indie-pop scozzese, vi avevamo consigliato di tenerla d’occhio già qualche tempo fa, presentando i Trogons - ed eccola tornare puntuale con un’altra bella scoperta, gli Aggi Doom con questo 7” Bring Me The Head B/W Cakewalk in uscita a Maggio: Bring Me The Head by Aggi Doom Cakew alk by Aggi Doom
The danger of releasing music in the final weeks of the year (danger, that is, if you actually give two shits about what I'm about to say, and I'm going to guess a lot of artists don't) is that you risk missing out on all the year-end lists that we bloggers feel compelled to compile and regurgitate out into the world. That's certainly the case with Soft Powers' insanely addictive new track, "Fever," a 2:38 dance-inflected blast of soaring synths, growly bass and mildly blown-out vocals that relentlessly drive this infectious jam forward. Had this song been released [...]
2011 was the year I dove headlong into local music. I listened to just about everything I could get a hold of, scouring through Facebook, Bandcamp and Soundcloud in my attempts to discover as many local artists and as much local music as I possibly could. But even now I feel as if there's so much out there that I'm missing out on. New bands and artists seem to to be sprouting up every day and the landscape of Atlanta music is constantly in flux, morphing and shifting into something unique and different. And so while the list [...]

NMB-favoriterna Soft Powers från Atlanta är lika ombytliga som de är konsekvent briljanta. Nedan kan du streama en ny och annorlunda EP titulerad Quest , som tar oss med på en psykedelisk och dansant färd till "[The G.A.L.X.I.N Province] in space" Quest EP by Soft Powers
I found this little diddy throughout the internets and it's a pretty nice find. Soft Powers from Georgia are made up of Dylan Anderson, Bo Fletcher, and Gage Gilmore. And what I know of music from Georgia and especially Athens, this fits the mold. Their lo-fi track "Just Like Tropica-L" is a short psych-pop track [...]
Lots of lo-fi, sticky, sugary fuzz pop packed into this song by Georgia’s Soft Powers. Dream away… Mp3: Soft Powers- just like tropica-L
It feels like it has been awhile since we last sprung a mix on you, so today felt like a good time to unleash the June mix. It's packed with yummy pop treats, grimy lo-fi indie rock and sexy (albeit a little on the naughty side) r&b. If you have sensitive ears and would like to avoid some of the more... ahem... scandalous lyrics, I might suggest avoiding the track from The-Dream (but it is a really really good song). Anyways, there is so much here that I'm pretty sure you'll find something you like. Turntable [...]
Prenumererar du inte på Soft Powers Bandcamp -feed har du säkerligen missat en hel del, då Atlanta-trion - i vanlig ordning - smugit ut en hel del låtar på sistone, den ena mer unik än den andra. Deras senaste kreation är en mysig ballad vid namn A deathly lit ballroom (in her birthday-suit) , och den kommer här Soft Powers - A deathly lit ballroom (in her birthday-suit)
Soft Powers is a duo out of Georgia who have produced one hell of a brilliantly dense and complex track with "Meher Baba". The song immediately throws you into a strange state of tension with scurrying synths and rapid eye percussion. It all cuts, and from somewhere underwater the bass surfaces. It's funky, but funky in the way Radiohead can get funky; where your not quite sure what planet the groove came from. The vocals swim through the woven background textures and appear as some sort of haunted tropical chant, followed by a series of drowned out howls. "Mehar Baba" [...]
Soft Powers - 1,300 Decibels Somehow I didn’t hear anything about this Soft Powers album Outlandish Scandals. Maybe because it came out during... (Visit my blog for more!)
You know when you want to do something and you keep meaning to do it but it gets put off, not because you're not interested but because things happen in life, things like work and raising kids, so you write down what it is you want to do, put it squarely at the top of your to do list, but it still slips past you because you keep leaving your list at home and so you rely on your memory, but every time you remember what it is you want to do it's at some inconvenient moment like when your [...]
