Jeffrey Lewis at Beerland Tonight

November 30, 2016 nathan.lankford Leave a comment

In a city with an abundance of music, even during low touring seasons, you can easily get overwhelmed by shows. But, tonight at Beerland you’re getting a special treat: Jeffrey Lewis. He’s a musician at the moment, but for the past twenty years he’s also worked as an incredible comic artist (the book version not the stand up). You can check out his work and his site HERE, but show up tonight at 9 and get ready for something incredible. His last album, Manhattan, still plays steadily in my rotation, so check out the tune below. Also, you’ll get to hear Jake Gumb and Dead Sally, so technically you’re going to win all day long…and you know how America likes winning.

Tim Darcy of Ought Goes Solo

November 30, 2016 nathan.lankford Leave a comment

Man. This might just be me, but I think that Ought is probably one of the most important, underrated acts around the music scene. Now you have Tim Darcy dipping toes in the solo water, and it sounds just as rad as I wanted it to be. The musical work is just a steady dose of post-punk guitar rock, but Tim’s voice has this distinctive sound that makes his work incredibly impacting, not to mention meaningful once you unfold the lyrics. Putting this one out there, as it’s now on my highly anticipated album list for next year! Saturday Night comes out on February 17th via Jagjaguwar.

New Music from Debate Club

November 30, 2016 nathan.lankford Leave a comment

While we were all taking a break in the States, the rest of the world was moving on, and one of my personal favorite little labels, Beko Disques, tossed out this brand new EP from Debate Club. If you listen, you’d see thatMontreal group fit rather nicely with the current indie landscape; they offer up a slightly dark bit of rock n’ roll, built upon a brooding sensation with a slight bit of foot stomping. You can grab the 2 track EP for the magical name your own price option, but please remember, folks can only keep putting out great songs like this if we throw them a dollar from time to time.

New from The Holiday Crowd

November 30, 2016 nathan.lankford One comment

If you’re looking for some bouncing pop that has that historical lean towards everything we loved about the 80s, then look no more because the Holiday Crowd is here for you.I think the biggest piece of this track where folks will fall in love is the semi-croon in the vocals, reminiscent of the Moz. I love the contrast between the twinkling guitar work and the deep bobbing tones of the bass guitar; it’s a nice twist on the influences that make all indiepop songs enchanting. The band’s self-titled record is being released by the uber-reliable Shelflife on December 9th.
