Quickdraw: Squid, Cloud Nothings, Iceage, Miss Grit, Moontype, Blessed

Enjoy.

Squid – Narrator (Featuring Martha Skye Murphy)

This eight and half minute barn burner from Squid is truly something else. Dance to it, scream at it, let it consume you. The band will release Bright Green Field on May 7.

Cloud Nothings – Nothing Without You

I feel like the new Cloud Nothings album, The Shadow I Remember, has been on the way forever. In any case, this is another great, driving single. The album will be out – finally – on February 26.

Iceage – The Holding Hand

Wowzers. Iceage already had a big sound, but this new single is take-over-everything big. Here’s hoping an official album announcement isn’t far off.

Miss Grit – Grow Up To

Somewhere along the way I whiffed on Miss Grit, and that was silly of me. What a lush sound! I will definitely check out her EP, Imposter, when it’s released this Friday.

Moontype – About You

I’m really into this two-minute blip of infectious indie pop from Moontype. Their impending LP, Bodies Of Water (due out April 2), should be on everyone’s list of anticipated albums.

Blessed – Centre

Frenetic is likely the best word to describe this new one from Blessed. Make sure to turn it way up! The band’s new EP, iii, will be released on February 19.
