Republic Records is scheduled to release Act One, the debut full-length album from Marian Hill, on June 24. They brought a special performance of “One Time” to The Wild Honey Pie Presents On The Mountain. With a soulful, sultry, simmering start, the song shifts upward, set up by a sax smoothly snapping your ears and hips into submission with that ever-augmenting electro-beat.

Philly emcee Ryshon Jones shares that his forthcoming album You’re Safe Now is influenced by “the feeling of allowing yourself to get lost to get in touch with your inner world, and learning the cycle of the ups and downs most of us face but never tell anyone.” He’s had a lot of time to contemplate it over the two years that he’s been working on the record. Take a listen below to his latest single from the album, called "Joymance," featuring D.C. songbird Zeroni.

May 13, the release date for Tired of Tomorrow (Relapse Records) is rapidly approaching. And while we wait for it to drop, Nothing has issued another single, “The Dead Are Dumb,” which you may recognized from the second episode of Nothing’s documentary. The song stews in a reserved, reflective, somber state, slowly sinking into the senses. The band’s hometown record release show will be held at Union Transfer on Friday, July 8 with additional support from Citizen and Culture Abuse, as well as Mary Lattimore & Jeff Zeigler.

Matt Scottoline and the Hurry gang have scraped away the fuzz on their new LP, giving us a polished powerpop album in Guided Meditation. The band just released its latest recordings on vinyl and in digital format via Lame-O Records and on cassette via Forward Fast. You can join them in welcoming the album’s arrival this Friday, May 6 at Everybody Hits with Cave People, Telepathic, and Chris Farren.

Below is the latest track from Psychic Teens forthcoming album NERVE, called "Winter Grey". A thick, murky undercurrent rolls over the band’s new single with Larry Ragone’s signature baritone vocals digging away below the surface. NERVE is due out on May 13 via SRA Records, and Psychic Teens will be performing next in Philly on Saturday, May 28 at Johnny Brenda’s with Mt. Billions.

The same could be said for “You’re Gonna Miss Me.” Opening with a guttural scream, the group’s tribute to psych-rock icons The 13th Floor Elevators is perfectly executed, with each chord and clash of cymbal adding to the instrumented intensity of the already well-loved garage classic. “You’re Gonna Miss Me” feels like a stubborn tantrum, the sonic manifestation of the sort of longing that is borne of desperation and pure desire that is mirrored in the album’s closer “It Girl.” Residuels’ jangly styling of one the most lovelorn (and heart-wrenching) tracks on The Brian Jonestown Massacre’s fifth LP is equally captivating, despite being one of Love Song’s quietest tracks, leaving listeners smitten. For die-hard fans of garage rock and newcomers alike, Love Songs doesn’t just pay homage to the genre’s past; it celebrates its vibrant present. – Dianca London

Marie & The Moans are bringing their eccentric songwriting to Kung Fu Necktie this Sunday, opening for No Joy and Creepers, and prodding your eardrums with a little musical unconventionality. The group exhibits an almost willful rejection of traditional or intuitive melody structure, yet make no concessions in accessibility. Percussion clatters and stumbles, while an innumerable amount of electronic tones bump and fall across each other, giving an overall impression of narrowly maintained order, as if the very compositions can’t be contained by their recordings. Singer Bridget Boylan’s stoic voice stitches at the seams of disorder, and lends a contrasting elegance to the music, which also serves as an orientating force that guides you through each manically tangled tune. Show up early to catch these Philly locals before ‘gazing out on the ethereal wings of No Joy. Kung Fu Necktie, 1250 N. Front St., 8pm, $10, 21+ – Bryce Woodcock

Psych-pop purveyors Grubby Little Hands have released their new album Garden Party to the mases via Lefse/Chill Mega Chill. The group was started by multi-instrumentalists Donnie Felton and Brian Hall, after meeting in college while studying music composition and theory. The duo released two previous albums, Imaginary Friends (2009) and The Grass Grew Around Our Feet (2012), and now with their latest record, Felton and Hall have been joined by guitarist Joseph Primavera and drummer Chad Brown to help fill out their hazy, sedative-pop sound. You can help Grubby Little Hands celebrate the arrival of Garden Party this evening at Johnny Brenda’s, where they’ll be joined by labelmate Shelf Life and Cold Foamers, who dropped their new album, Musketball, earlier this year. So take a dab & get lost in the sonics of the night. Johnny Brenda’s, 1201 N. Frankford Ave., 9pm, $10, 21+ – H.M. Kauffman
