Spin This New Sighs Track

sighsFeel like indie rock has gotten stale as of late, so it’s great to see that there are some things I find wholly entertaining in the larger scale of music fandom. The opening moments from this Sighs track sound like soft pop, and those moments alone piqued my interest. But, the song was elevated with stabs of horns and synth washes to give it a little push above the ordinary fare. It’s nice to find something that’s still somewhat left of the dial, no matter how much it might wear the influences of contemporaries. Look for the new Friends EP on September 13th.

New Rocker from Residual Kid

Seeing as our site’s based here in Austin, we’ve gotta help spread the word on the bands coming out of our town.  I’m happy to toss out this new track from local upstarts Residual Kid.  Keep in mind, these dudes are all super young (I mean super), so we should all be impressed out the sounds they’re creating, especially after a bit of a line-up change.  They’ve got a new EP coming out titled Friend, and this is one of the featured tunes from the release…which hits the streets on October 9th.  Check out this catchy fuzzed out rocker from these young guns.
