Way back in 2018, Boston’s Puppy Problems released their full length debut, the sparse yet stunning Sunday Feeling , an album overwhelmed with heart wrenching bedroom pop brilliance. Five years later, we’re still swooning about that record and Sami Martasian’s songwriting, personal and nuanced, clever and immersive. We’ve said before that Puppy Problems is among the best of the melancholic singer/songwriters, and half a decade later, we’re standing by that. Sunday Feeling is damn near perfect. While Martasian has stayed active over the years – sharing demos, playing and organizing shows, drawing fliers, album art, and tour merch, and playing in various other projects – today marks the triumphant return of Puppy Problems and the announcement of their second album, Winter In Fruitland . Due out September 22nd via Anything Bagel Records (Generifus, Joyer, 22° Halo), Martasian and co. recorded the album at Rhode Island’s Big Nice Studio, and while there’s definitely an upgrade in fidelity, the heart in the songs remains ever apparent. “Rainbow Flag” is the album’s first single, a song about Boston’s rapid gentrification, specifically in regards to those pushing out the communities they seek to support. From the bright acoustic guitars that open the song to the slide-assisted twang, Puppy Problems are picking up where they left off, with that noticeable boost in sonic clarity, everything crystalline in presentation. At the core of “Rainbow Flag” is Martasian and Dylan Citron’s (bedbug) harmonized vocals, singing sweetly as they watch their DIY spaces change into stores and their friends pushed further out of the city. Instead of getting swept into despair over days gone by, the song ends with a beautiful statement, “I don’t want to look back until there’s nothing left to look forward to.” As per usual, Martasian delivers the line with significance in phrasing, its meaning almost shifting until the sentence’s completion. As the duo reflect on if the wealthy yuppies “want to be someone who makes it better,” they stand defiantly in the present, holding their own as the ground crumbles around them. (More in the Post Trash premiere)
@wetsuitnyc Local Celebrity is premiering right now on @lookatmyrecords_ ‼️ Link in bio to watch the music video and read Toms lovely words about the song. I wrote Local Celebrity to reclaim one of my ~most embarrassing moments~ (read the article, Tom got all the tea) and embraced the theme of reclaiming my memories by re-enacting my 2004 Bat Mitzvah for the music video with my best friends. I hope you love it as much as we do. It’s been ours for much too long but now it’s yours.

WORRIERS NEW SINGLE “TRUST YOUR GUT”
@worriersmusic It’s out! It’s finally out! The first single and title track from our upcoming album Trust Your Gut. A song about listening to your intuition and celebrating advocating for yourself. Presented with a fun video that’s an interpretation of Empire Records where they’re saving a queer bar instead of a record store. So many things about this song (and the whole record) are what I’ve wanted to make for a very long time. I hope you’ll take a listen. You can see the whole video over on @brooklynvegan now and YouTube! • The whole record is out on September 15 on @ernestjenning but pre-orders are available now! Fun vinyl colors, a new shirt, and a tote based on the bar from the video. Named after my pup Lucy, of course. • Thank you to my bandmates on this one: @frankpiegaro @atomwillardisme @franznicolay and @llegsi for helping this bop be everything I wanted it to be. Additional vocal production by @ofalltherachaels mixed by @jay_tooke_ and mastered by @joel_hatstat_high_jump_media – and I can’t forget the backing vox on this tune by @crystalasaurus and @agita_online I couldn’t have made the 90s themed video of my dreams without @chelseachrister @gavinvmurray @alyssa.m.miller and @samgoldman1 – and of course @mindawei @cjkittenmiller @cassloop channeling and queering the movie’s vibes. Thanks so much to @theescondite and @novacommunityarts for the space to film!

FREAKY WILDERNESS – NEW SINGLE “WIND SWEPT WORLD” OUT NOW
@michaelguggino New Music Alert: Link in Bio. The new single “Wind Swept World” on Aqualamb Records starts out with a fuzzy, triumphant Richard Thompson-esq riff before the rest of the band comes crashing in with an infectious, hynoptic groove that drives the song. Guggino’s lyrics evoke imagery of a lonely city scape late at night where he worries about an uncertain future punctuated by a frustrated and cathartic scream. “Wind Swept World” draws on influences like the other worldly drone of Lungfish and Endless Boogie as well as the stoner riffy-ness of the The Sword and Dead Meadow.
