"To address the weight of the world without speaking of weariness. To march the song to breathlessness but loosen your grip when the band wanders. To tell all your secrets but shield your loved ones from vulnerability. To dress up in the charm and temptation of the pop song but maintain a core of peculiarity, of a single voice trying to navigate this world. This is the project of the Spatulas. Think of the few songwriters who know they’re the only ones in the world who could write their songs. The ones who sing in the confidence that the song couldn’t exist without them: Peter Jefferies, Jenny Mae, Ron House, Heather Lewis. Jonathan Richman? Put Miranda Soileau-Pratt and the Spatulas on this list.

All eleven songs on ‘Beehive Mind’ share a percussive, unshadowed presence, a steady, clear-voiced clop. Every note on the record is a little bit sad on its own but then they're organized in a way that you don't actually notice. Credit this to the band’s skill—Jon Grothman, Lila Jarzombek, Kyle Raquipiso and Miranda Soileau-Pratt all play with no limits and they all play with profound ease. The songs breathe in warmth and patience, they are immediate and sweet. And then they start to meander. The guitar skitters with the deliberate unpredictability of a wild animal. Parts repeat and reset with the obsessiveness of an anxious mind. The lyrics open doors to unexpected scenes of lovers, family, and violence.

This is all intentional: “I need to play music and listen to music as a form of therapy,” explains Soileau. This means safety, this means encouragement, this means trauma, this means hard questions. Only a band so comfortable at the margins, only a band so capable, only a band so trusting can achieve all this.

Miranda Solileau-Pratt wrote the first Spatulas song in 2020, while living in Oregon. Since that time, the band has released two cassettes and toured the United States. Members of the Spatulas have also played in The Blimp, Honey Bucket, Hot Gum, and Meerkaz. The band has shared stages with Helen, Lavender Flu, Debt Rag, Pink Reason, Blues Ambush, and Kath Bloom. ‘Beehive Mind’ is their debut LP. "

The gentle vocals sit up front, often buoyed by fragile guitar lines and a simple but steady beat, and ample space is left for production flourishes like distant laughter, chopped up samples, and pitched squeals to ping around the listener’s ears. “We very much have a 'throw stuff at the wall and see what sticks' approach,” explains Lam. “We focus a lot on how an element sounds, rather than what an element is–if there's a guitar part that’s not quite working, rather than try a different guitar effect or amp sound, we're more likely to replace it with a keyboard, or a sample. A 'sound' is just as important as a 'part' to us, and I think that’s how a lot of electronic producers think.”\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eEvery sound on Seashell Angel Lucky Charm feels precise and intentional, making the earcandy choruses on tracks like “Fear” and “El Oh Ve Ee'' feel like expertly placed moments of guitar pop bliss. These two songs show Armlock’s savvy with harmony as they use octaves of angelic sounds to stretch a simple one-word chorus until it soars with meaning. Throughout Seashell Angel Lucky Charm, guitar is used sparingly and thoughtfully–more like a tool in Armlock’s belt rather than the primary songwriting vessel. On “Godsend” an airy acoustic provides the sturdy foundation, ushering the groove forward with uncomplicated chord progressions and leaving the focus on Lam’s voice.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eArmlock’s sound at times recalls Pinback’s lean alternative, Alex G’s adventurous indie, or the wave of mysterious-yet-endearing genre-bending music coming out of the UK from label’s like Dean Blunt’s World Music or Vegyn’s PLZ Make It Ruins. Album opener “Ice Cold” provides a perfect entry point into Armlock’s world and their skill with coalescing disparate influences. One trap beat away from a Bladee track, the song begins with robotic voices reminiscent of Boards of Canada and evolves into the meditative warmth found in Adrianne Lenker’s more lo-fi work. There’s a subdued tenderness to Lam’s vocal delivery as he ponders the loss of a friendship and introduces the album’s fixation on air signs and higher dimensions.\u003c\/span\u003e\"\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eArtist : Armlock\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLabel : Run For Cover Records\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCAT No : RFC271\u003c\/p\u003e","published_at":"2025-01-14T14:41:58+09:00","created_at":"2025-01-14T14:41:17+09:00","vendor":"Tobira Records","type":"","tags":["folk \/ left-field pop","lp","new","run for covers"],"price":337000,"price_min":337000,"price_max":337000,"available":true,"price_varies":false,"compare_at_price":null,"compare_at_price_min":0,"compare_at_price_max":0,"compare_at_price_varies":false,"variants":[{"id":47040664961274,"title":"Default Title","option1":"Default Title","option2":null,"option3":null,"sku":null,"requires_shipping":true,"taxable":true,"featured_image":null,"available":true,"name":"Armlock \/\/ Seashell Angel Lucky Charm LP [COLOR]","public_title":null,"options":["Default Title"],"price":337000,"weight":430,"compare_at_price":null,"inventory_management":"shopify","barcode":"810097916623","requires_selling_plan":false,"selling_plan_allocations":[]}],"images":["\/\/tobirarecords.com\/cdn\/shop\/files\/an1_caba8b18-1c97-4943-8c9b-829d9674789f.jpg?v=1722849603"],"featured_image":"\/\/tobirarecords.com\/cdn\/shop\/files\/an1_caba8b18-1c97-4943-8c9b-829d9674789f.jpg?v=1722849603","options":["Title"],"media":[{"alt":null,"id":34662066979066,"position":1,"preview_image":{"aspect_ratio":1.0,"height":700,"width":700,"src":"\/\/tobirarecords.com\/cdn\/shop\/files\/an1_caba8b18-1c97-4943-8c9b-829d9674789f.jpg?v=1722849603"},"aspect_ratio":1.0,"height":700,"media_type":"image","src":"\/\/tobirarecords.com\/cdn\/shop\/files\/an1_caba8b18-1c97-4943-8c9b-829d9674789f.jpg?v=1722849603","width":700}],"requires_selling_plan":false,"selling_plan_groups":[],"content":"\u003cp\u003eオーストラリア・メルボルンのインディーポップデュオArmlockが、2024年7月にアメリカのインディーレーベルRun For Cover Recordsからリリースしたレコードです。\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eエモ・スローコア〜ドリームポップ7曲を収録。雲色盤です。\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ciframe src=\"https:\/\/bandcamp.com\/EmbeddedPlayer\/album=2665249448\/size=large\/bgcol=ffffff\/linkcol=0687f5\/tracklist=false\/artwork=none\/track=2700465907\/transparent=true\/\" style=\"border: 0; width: 100%; height: 120px;\" seamless=\"\"\u003e\u003c\/iframe\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ciframe style=\"border: 0; width: 100%; height: 120px;\" src=\"https:\/\/bandcamp.com\/EmbeddedPlayer\/album=2665249448\/size=large\/bgcol=ffffff\/linkcol=0687f5\/tracklist=false\/artwork=none\/track=2571728857\/transparent=true\/\" seamless=\"\"\u003e\u003c\/iframe\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003c!----\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ciframe src=\"https:\/\/bandcamp.com\/EmbeddedPlayer\/album=2665249448\/size=large\/bgcol=ffffff\/linkcol=0687f5\/tracklist=false\/artwork=none\/transparent=true\/\" style=\"border: 0; width: 100%; height: 120px;\" seamless=\"\"\u003e\u003c\/iframe\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ciframe style=\"border: 0; width: 100%; height: 120px;\" src=\"https:\/\/bandcamp.com\/EmbeddedPlayer\/album=2665249448\/size=large\/bgcol=ffffff\/linkcol=0687f5\/tracklist=false\/artwork=none\/track=259713687\/transparent=true\/\" seamless=\"\"\u003e\u003c\/iframe\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eレーベルその他作品は\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/tobirarecords.com\/collections\/rfc\"\u003eこちら\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\/\/\/ Click \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/tobirarecords.com\/collections\/rfc\"\u003ehere\u003c\/a\u003e to see more Run For Cover Records releases available at Tobira. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e--------------------------------------------\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e12\" 'coke bottle cloud' vinyl.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTracklist\u003c\/strong\u003e:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cblockquote\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e1.

Its spare, gentle piano works share more spirit with Erik Satie, Emahoy Tsegué-Maryam Guébrou and the ‘Marginalia’ releases of Masakatsu Takagi than they do with, say, a cozy and candlelit date night. But in that cheekiness lies hidden intention: across the gorgeous set, “Romantic” is suggested in a more classic sense, what the Germans call waldeinsamkeit.
