Heads up: Samira Winter premieres a new single mere days before her band's North American Tour, titled "All The Things You Do". Like celebrated debut album Supreme Blue Dream, "All The Things You Do" verges on the boundaries of shoegaze, dreampop, and neo-psych, with languid beats pouring over melodies temperate and fibrous. It's a great send-off to summer as autumn falls upon us, and a wonderful tour-parting gift courtesy of Winter (and Burger Records).

Winter leaves on the 18th with indie pop Georgian transplant Allison Weiss, plus NYC's Mal Blum and Kid in the Attic — first show's at the Brick & Mortar Music Hall (SF). Los Angeles will be lonelier (and muggier) without the grace of Samira & Co., but fear not: the quartet returns to perform 11/24 at The Echo! Until then, get lovesick with "All The Things You Do" on repeat. - Ryan Mo

I think if Ben Gibbard (Death Cab for Cutie) was a New York resident, preferred biking, and was just a wee big younger, he might sound something like Allison Weiss. The sentimental songstress charts her own misadventures in growing up, growing older, and getting over all the dramas you otherwise might not hear from the girl next door. New record 'The Teenage Years' charts these upsets through the battles fought out in 'Here's the Plan,' and a chilling duet with Chris Mansfield (Fences) in 'Boston.' See her live when she plays Public Assembly on Feb 1. - Mike Levine (@Goldnuggets)
