Hear a New Sam Evian Tune

I should have known by the involvement of Chris Cohen that I was going to adore Sam Evian. He’s working on the follow-up to Premium, and if this is any indicator, we’re in for something quite special. His vocals take on that ethereal quality, almost feathery in their presentation…they just ride the horizon of the mix perfectly. Drum work is steady, handled by Cohen, and the arrangements texturize the track in a way that few other artists imitate. Somewhere in the realm between Papercuts and the returned Clientele lives Sam Evian…and it’s beautiful to be a part of it.

Bully Unleash New Rocker (SXSW Artist)

bullsonparadeLast year, I fawned over the Coathangers; they were the act that I raved to everyone about after SXSW.  But, in prepping for this year’s fest, I’ve been hoping to find a similar act to win my heart…that might just be Bully.  This new single displays the tenacity, with a really raw vocal delivery that’s right up my alley.  One can only hope that this means more new music is to come, but as of now, there’s no word.  Just enjoy this track, and if you’re at SXSW, the band is giving you 7 chances to try and catch them live.
