Portland indie-pop veterans Rocketship recently reissued their essential 1996 album A Certain Smile, A Certain Sadness for its 30th anniversary and reunited for their first tour in eight years. This is not a strictly nostalgic enterprise, though. Rocketship have a new album called Hurt Feelings on the way, and its lead single maintains the band’s standard of excellence. “New Threats” (not from the soul, AFAIK) is a dreamy and sophisticated update on the band’s classic style, steering their fuzzed-out and demure guitar pop in an eclectic direction that reminds me of ’90s contemporaries from Stereolab to Olivia Tremor Control. Whisper along to it below.
