A band that has caught my ear recently is Coltrane Motion, a Chicago-based electronic indie rock duo, with a new album titled Hello Ambition! out June 1 via Datawaslost, which they are currently touring in support of. Lead singer, Michael Bond records “sixties obsessed electronic pop in his home studio, while guitarist Matt Dennewitz covers it all in wailing distortion and delay at their live shows-the result is a raucous wall of sound built out of drum loops and fuzzed-out melodies, held together by swirling synths and organ drone.”

Some nice textures and energy that recall Stereolab mixed with some high energy garage throwdowns.

Grab their track “I Forgot There Was a War On” here. Tour dates are below.
