The Deli is happy to premiere Michael Hanf‘s song "Keep Feeling", a taste of the drummer’s solo project outside of San Fermin. Hanf’s voice, here vaguely reminiscent of Grandaddy Jason Lytle’s expressive alto, lead this stripped-down and organic track, giving us just enough of that diaphanous vibraphone (an instrument he also masters), fuzzy guitar, and laid-back drums. Check out "Keep Feeling" down below, and keep an eye out for a new releases on his Soundcloud page! – Ashley Muniz

 Philosophical Zombie delivers moody, post-punk vibes that feel as dark as they do danceable. The group is set to drop an album this month entitled Cotard’s, but if the already released single "Dream On" is anything to judge by, listeners can expect interesting chord progressions, spacey sounds, and weirdly infectious hooks from the new release. Check out their album release party 10/14 at Great Scott with Babydriver, but in the meantime, stream "Dream On" below.-Olivia Sisinni

An air of mystery and beauty permeates Samuel Proffitt‘s latest single Drown, off the forthcoming EP Grey Notebook. On this track, the classic piano ballad is placed within the dimensions of electronica. Combined with the seductive melancholia of SKYLR’s vocals, the song’s ambience is hauntingly memorable. Take a listen to "Drown" down below, and look out for Grey Notebook, scheduled for release on 10/10. – Ashley Muniz

Opening with a primal scream, NY-based trio Treads’s latest EP is a whirlwind record complete with gut-busting screeches and head-shaking riffage. The aptly titled EP 1 is four tracks of high-energy punk earworms that are instantly catchy without being overtly poppy. Check out Treads playing the Mercury Lounge with The Royal They 10/17, and be sure to stream them below. – Olivia Sisinni

The "our band transcends genres" is one of the most frustrating lines to come across in a band bio, but I’ll be damned if Mobile Steam Unit’s music is easy to wrangle into one of these nice and clearly defined boxes. The Brookyln-based five-piece, whose sound winds through early 90s alt, nudisco, funk, synthpop and country, manages to not only pull off an eclectic auditory tasting, but does so in such a tight way, that you almost forget that what you’re listening to is bananas. It’s all the chaotic goodness you’d never expect, but are stoked to have stumbled on.  We’re hyped to hear that the band is dropping a new EP of what’s sure to be highly virtuosic weirdo rock Oct 30th at Rough Trade, opening for RANN. While waiting you can get your Mobile Steam Unit fix by streaming them below. – Olivia Sisinni

Part-time wimps, part-time Righmond rockers, The Wimps bring forth a peculiar blend of 60’s pop, alternative rock, and psychedelia. Listening to “Dream Girl” (the 10th track off their album), something comforting about this band’s rustic sound makes its way inside us. It’s vintage. It’s nostalgic. It’s the 1×12 combo amp spring reverbed guitar tone with a hint of tube crunch, not to mention the twangy, speech-driven vocal stylings of Brent McCormic, topped off with quirky lyrics of empty days and empty wallets. It takes us back to one of our favorite records from yester-millennium: Eric Burdon’s 1964 “House of the Rising Sun”. Take a listen to their full album The Wimps down below. –Ashley Muniz

Turn up the noise! Or should I say “half” noise? Nashville’s Zac Farro is coming at us with his downright hypnotic indie pop album Sudden Feeling, the third release of Farro’s solo project, Halfnoise. One could simply melt away into the multifarious pad, lead, and bass synths that swirl, swell, and shimmer over a percussive hodgepodge—not to mention Farro’s smooth, velvety tenor vocals as they proclaim the sorrows, losses, and loves of times past. The sound is quite reminiscent of The Postal Service’s solemn vibes shrouded in a lighthearted aesthetic. Just take a listen to the album’s title track (streaming below) and you’ll know what I mean. And in case you need another taste we’ve added his single In The Summer down below as well. Halfnoise is touring the states this Fall, so grab a copy of Sudden Feeling to help you wait out his arrival. – Ashley Muniz

The Phobos moon is a satellite from Mars, so it makes sense that the spacey-sounding Nashville-based astro-prog band would go under the same name. On their latest album, I, Phobos explores major post-rock vibes, and tasty math-rock tinged licks that sound totally out of this world. Listen to their track "Yearn and Memorize" streaming below and check them out at Rocketown 10/7 with Polyphia and I, Griever.–Olivia Sisinni

Doesn’t it suck that summer is over? For many it means returning to the daily grind, and for others who couldn’t afford a vacation… continuing it, but with no sunny days, warmth or beach getaways as consolations. It’s enough to drive someone crazy, or at least induce crazy dreams. That’s exactly what neofunk Nuf Said’s new video for "Rise" seems to narrate. Vividly animated by Miguel Rueda, the video tells a trippy story of a woman, lead singer Ioanna Vintu, dreaming of herself and others, including members of the band, going insane over the repetitive absurdity of their daily lives. The video culminates with Vintu and a friend playing cards in a cafe with an alien they previously hit with their car  The trippy visuals are perfectly accompanied by the track, whose syncopated drum pattern, eerie vocals and disjointed instrumental parts fit right in, and re-emphasize the themes of the video. — Henry Solotaroff-Webber

The Nirvana comparisons for Brooklyn’s own Big Cheese are really easy – and definitely there – but complemented by other unexpected influences – for example, in Adam Patten’s vocals we hear a little of Soul Coughing, a criminally underrated Brooklyn band from the late ’90s. Supersonic Nothing, the Big Cheese’s latest LP, is a lo-fi whirlwind combining sludgy, sledge hammer riffs with vocals that always seem to be teetering on the brink of a nervous collapse. If grunge isn’t dead, Big Cheese are the ones who are here to prove it. Check out their new music video "Thank You" below. – Olivia Sisinni
