Careful Pop from Bodywash

Leave a comment

bodywashCall it what you will, but this new song from Bodywash is definitely just a careful expression of pop music…or the sort I call pop music. High-toned vocals are pleasantly resting atop the mix, but what’s most interesting is the way that the band has wrapped the voice in a blanket of shimmering guitars and washes of atmospherics. You’ll even hear some light backing vocals playing in the distance, further texturing this new single. As of right now, they’re working on a new EP, but they wanted to put this on your radar in hopes of building some anticipation…I think it does just that.

Fresh Tunes from Charlie Darling

lesbicyCharlie Darling‘s work came to my attention when I came upon his indiepop project Les Bicyclettes de Belize, so I was really excited to hear what he was going to do with his solo work. He’s always carried this beautifully polished vocal, but the arrangements on this lead track are subtle and lush. Touches of bells and strings build the background into a swelling blast of careful pop music. All the tracks on his Moving Pictures EP sound like they were built perfectly to be tracked into a, well, moving picture. I think you’re going to enjoy these songs!

New Music from Tim Carr

Leave a comment

timcarrSitting at my desk here this morning, and it’s relatively cold outside (for Austin anyways). For me, music somehow has this emotional warming, which leads into the physical warmth, so I’m grateful that this Tim Carr track has come across my desk. While there’s a mixture of somberness with the uplifting quality of the rhythms in the song’s latter half, I think it’s the perfect way to let yourself get carried away. Carr’s voice is enchanting, and there’s something spiritual in the simplicity of his playing style. His debut, the Last Day of Fighting, will be out on December 16th.
