Have You Heard John Galm?

Leave a comment

jgWell, just in case you didn’t know, John Galm is the man behind countless bands like Snowing or Slow Warm Death, you should take a listen to his work now.  While those acts have their own distinct style, he’s taken a much more stripped down approach with his solo work.  Late last year he released Sky of No Stars, which I passed on for some reason or another…but I won’t be passing now that the LP is getting an album release via Square of Opposition Records. You can preorder it HERE and stream the LP below.

Catchy A-Side from Literature

One comment

You know we love raving about Literature, who’ve recently departed Austin for Philadelphia, so I’m happy to share with you the A-Side to their new Tie Dye 7″, which the band is putting out via Square of Opposition Records (it’s up for pre-order right now!).  When the song starts off, it’s got that catchy jangle that made me love their sound, but what’s interesting is that as the song begins to fade out, they add a new layer to their sound.  It’s a wayward sounding group harmony with just a bit of fuzz on it.  Oh, and if you didn’t buy their debut Arab Spring, you need to get it HERE since I only have about 10 left!

New Jam from Literature

Leave a comment

Our boys in Literature have had a pretty solid year thus far, having released their debut Arab Spring LP with us earlier in the year.  They’re back at it again with the new Tie Die 7″, which will come out via our partners for the LP, Square of Opposition Records.  On the B-Side for the release you’ll notice that the urgency of the power pop the band used in the past has receded slightly, allowing for their melodies to take their time coming through the song.  In what’s already been a banner year for the band, they continue writing great songs, maintaining their spot as one of our favorites. Oh, and if you haven’t bought their LP, you can still grab a few HERE.
