It’s new release Friday, and I know some of you just want to know what you should be listening to, right? Well, luckily, I’ve got a few suggestions before I head into the oral surgeon in about 30 minutes so he can remove teeth.
Always You – Bloom Off the Rose – I’ve covered most of the singles form this release, and been a fan of the Hochheim brothers when they were Ablebody, so obviously this gets my backing here. It’s a pleasant brand of dream pop meets indie pop, taking light jangles, warping them into these little seductive ear worms that wash over you. Out today via Shelflife and Discos de Kirlian.
Wojtek the Bear – Heaven by the Back Door – This is the latest release from Last Night from Glasgow, and once you immerse yourself in this record, you’ll clearly hear why. There are moments when this record sounds like a more orchestral Arab Strap, and other times when it very much feels like Belle and Sebastian, and as far as I’m concerned, those are great footsteps to be following along. Spend some time here and you’ll be rewarded.
John Mayer – Sob Rock – Admittedly, I don’t know anything about this record, but felt like you needed a curveball, something to be like WTF, why is this here. Well, everyone loves John Mayer; he can play a mean guitar. I haven’t even listened, but I know it rips.
