Sam Vicari has a history of charming us with his music. Last night we saw he hinted at the news of new music to come, and this morning that teaser was followed by the announcement of a brand new LP, Giving Up, scheduled for release on April 7.

The album sees Vicari continuing to mine straightforward power pop bashed out in the form of timeless little explosions of joy, despite lyrics whose heart is so on sleeve those sleeves are often drenched red. Giving Up does expand its sonic palette though, and incorporates thicker guitars and more harmonies than Vicari's previous releases. While those albums were excellent in their immediacy, this new batch of songs definitely throw on a few additional sonic layers to great effect.

We've got the first song released from Give Up for your downloading pleasure below. Give it a spin.
