The shoegazey San Francisco rock band Badvril came on my radar through Bandsplain<\/em> host Yasi Salek, who included one of their dreamy, poppy, hard-slapping songs a playlist a couple years back. We posted their debut album In Heaven<\/em> last year, describing it as “entrancing<\/a>,” and today they announced the follow-up. Lethal<\/em> is dropping in October, and in addition to the recent Badvril tracks “Push It Down” and “Golden,” it has today’s new single “Fever.” <\/p>\n If you’re feeling like you don’t want to listen to the Lemonheads anymore<\/a>, “Fever” might be a good substitute. It’s got a similar aerodynamic glide to it, and between the vocals and lead guitar, power-pop hooks are abundant beneath that fuzz. “Lose my control\/ I won’t let it go,” Becket Schroeder sings on the chorus. “No self control\/ I’ll still sell my soul.”<\/p>\n Below, watch the “Fever” video and check out those prior singles, which are also excellent.<\/p>\n
