While The Sunshine of Your Youth, the debut LP from power-pop five-piece Cheerleader, won’t be released until May 19, via Bright Antenna Records, you can stream it now at SPIN. Cheerleader crafts energizingly warm atmospheric rock that is loose and tightly rolling at the same time. Their sound is ideal as the temperatures begin to rise and the nights begin to linger. You’ll be able to find Cheerleader this summer at Firefly and XPoNential Fest.

Mark Lanky Opening for Eddie Spaghetti at Ortlieb’s May 12
There are those moments when as individuals we choose to bathe in the comfort of sadness. Tonight at Ortlieb’s, Mark Lanky allows you to wade into that melancholy pool, soaking up those unpleasant feelings and temporarily placing them out in the open. It’s draped in acoustic guitar, and delivered in that serious baritone. Lanky sets the stage for Eddie Spaghetti (of The Supersuckers), whose brand of amusing slacker rock anthems have countrified footprints in a crisp yet explosively relatable manner. Plenty of weed and whiskey will be consumed this evening. Ortlieb’s, 847 N. Third St., $12, 9pm, 21+ (Image by Ryan Shafer) – Michael Colavita

Clouder loses a member, announces split EP
We’re sad to hear 5-piece, surf-angst band Clouder might not be long for this world—this June guitarist Steve Spinella will be disappearing into that speculated wormhole between Brooklyn and California. In a rather elegiac sounding Facebook post the band wrote “we just want to take this opportunity to thank everyone who has supported us throughout the years– we’ve played with some really fantastic bands and made a lot of wacky friends along the way. thank you for getting sticky with us and for catching eric every time he jumped off the stage mid-song.” In better news, they’ve announced a split EP coming out this spring with their buds Pow Wow!, so keep a look out. – Leora Mandel

The Dead Bees
Music is all about the song, and The Dead Bees live by them. Playing genre-blurring, old fashioned rock n’ roll, they would be home on just about any stage. Delicate harmony, laid back rhythm section, stripped down electric guitars and bare-bones melody, they don’t overdo anything because they don’t need to. Somewhere between the Killers and Joel Plaskett is where these Ottawa-dwelling boys live. Their song Cannonball from their second album “2” is the perfect soundtrack to a weekend at the cottage, or skipping work and just hitting the road. Between the folk-lectric guitar lines, and the lovely light chorus line, it’ll get you to forget about your woes and just sing along. With 2 records under their belt, they’re well on their way to finishing a third, to be named and then released, hopefully in that order, at some point in 2015.-Cody Wright

Electronic rock project [debut] release new video for “More Than This”
Coldplay cinematics, Massive Attack instrumentation, and Depeche Mode lineage. That’s a pretty good triangulation of [debut]’s sound. While songwriter/producer Gareth Thomas is the locus of the project, he’s recently expanded the lineup for full-bodied live performances. And with his recent release party at Complex LA, things are off to a great start. Older albums had a more granular texture with plenty of analog synth action, but the new Kickstarter’d album Postcards from Berlin, released April 4, features significant amounts of piano and strings, adding dynamic to the bread and butter of 80’s sounds. Thomas also contributes vocals for the first time here, along with project mainstays Cyd Claire, Angela Bartys, and Sammi Doll.

NYC sonic terrorists The Yin Yangs play Palisades 5/23, Bohemian Grove BBQ Festival 5/30
Garage-dreamfuzz trio The Yin Yangs will be playing Palisades May 23rd and Bohemian Grove’s super scrumptious BBQ Festival on May 30th. If you can understand more than half of the lyrics on their debut record, “Cowgirl”, you might want to think about offering your talents to a top-secret government organization, or that X-Men mansion supposedly placed up in Westchester County. These songs are smoky, spacey, and sometimes the guitars turn into ray guns. Available both digitally and on cassette. Sounds like a healthy helping to us. – Leora Mandel
We added this song to The Deli’s playlist of Best punk/garage songs by emerging NYC artists – check it out!
