Quickdraw: Rosalia, Deeper, Tennis, Stephen Malkmus, Diet Cig

Rosalia – Juro Que

Everything is coming up Rosalia these days.  She just won a Grammy (for Best Latin Rock, Urban or Alternative Album), and she’s got this fantastic new single.  Can’t wait for her follow-up to El Mal Querer.

Deeper – This Heat

This is a very catchy, energetic and angular slice of post-punk from Deeper.  The band will release their sophomore LP, Auto-Pain, on March 27.  Also, they’re set to play SXSW.

Tennis – How To Forgive

Tennis is operating in all-out pop mode on this new one, and I think it’s a sound that really works for them.  Swimmer is due out on February 14, and the band is set to play Stubb’s on February 29.

Stephen Malkmus – Xian Man

Traditional Techniques (due out March 6) is the name of the upcoming album from Stephen Malkmus.  I was only somewhat into Groove Denied, the electronic-tinged effort that he put out last year, but that’s not stopping me from looking forward to the new LP.  I like him too much not to.  Also, the rootsy vibe of this first single is pretty great.

Diet Cig – Night Terrors

Diet Cig sound all grown up on this track.  I don’t mind.  The press release that came with this song didn’t mention an album, but I’m guessing that one will be announced in the near future.
