Brand New Video from The Chairman Dances

In case you haven’t seen all my fawning over The Chairman Dances, I hope this new video gets you as excited for the group’s release as I am. This song takes on that literary pop mixed with the fuzzy guitars you might hear on those new Grandaddy songs you’ve been raving about. I like how the guitar gives an energetic boost to the track, which otherwise could fade into the realms of stereotypical pop…it doesn’t! There’s a nice angelic vocal chorale to close out the song to boot! Pick up your copy of Time Without Measure from Black Rd Records now.

Premiere: New Pop from The Chairman Dances

thechairmandancesA few weeks ago I was introduced to The Chairman Dances, and here I am fortunate enough to share a brand new track with you today. It’s another piece of literary pop, like a unique blend of Mountain Goats and Dent May. And, like all great pop tunes, it’s the texturing and careful touches that make the track; listen through this song for the fuzzy underbelly that leaves ample room for the vocals to really take off. Pop music needs more songwriters like this, both playful and thoughtful all at once. Next week you can grab their new effort Time Without Measure via Black Rd. Records!

 

Bright Pop from The Chairman Dances

thechairmandancesSomething familiar lurks in the sounds/songwriting of The Chairman Dances. Part of me hears bits of Allo Darlin or Austin’s Hollywood Gossip, but I also can hear a touch of Mountain Goats, though spun in a more pop direction. It’s an approach I’m definitely enjoying, bordering the line’s between folk tradition and indiepop joy, and I always appreciate such exuberance. They have a new album titled Time Without Measure coming out on August 26th via Black Rd Records, so give this tune a listen.
