Hazy and happening, Athlete is the new tune from Athlete Austin-based Why Bonnie who have recently announcing their new EP, Voice Box, set for release April 10th via Fat Possum Records. It feels casual and swooning, with bracing textures stridently executed, fervent and bold. There are elements of light counterpoised by deep shade, with dreamy daze and shimmering hooks. Speaking about the track, the band said ‘Athlete is about the frustration of not being able to keep up with the “team” and learning to laugh when you fumble.’

The Districts – 4th and Roebling

At times rootsy, at times rocking Pennsylvanian The Districts are a complex bunch, especially given that none of them are yet at the legal drinking age in their home country. 4th and Roebling is the lead single from their new album A Flourish and Spoil and is drenched with that east coast garage freneticism that makes for such infectious and rousing rock’n’roll. The intro is not dissimilar to The Strokes’ New York City Cops, albeit a bit more stripped back and there’s a boozy and bluesy swagger to the track (named after the first place they parked their car during their first trip into New York to play a gig). It struts with confidence at the same as melting down in a complex and fraught fuzz. It’s a testament to life as being saturated with the good and the bad, the flourishes and the spoils, an energetic and uplifting rawness pervading the brisk and pacey tune. Basically, it’s a belter.
A Flourish and Spoil is out now on Fat Possum Records.
