Mighty Clouds Share Anagram Single
If you wanted to start off your day with springing pop rock music, may we quickly turn your attention to this track from Mighty Clouds. For starters, the band features Fred Thomas, who pretty much has the Midas’ Touch of indie rock, guaranteeing that you’ll be charmed within the confines of this tune. It’s got a good bit of dancing guitar lines, occasionally cascading off the beaten path into dreamier territories. Betty Marie Barnes has some solid pipes too, reminiscent of Rosie Tucker, turning these notes that seem almost out of tune into earworms. If you’re into this, you’ll find this as the A-Side to a new single from Antiquated Future Records on June 7th.
Honestly, there’s not really a lot of information about OWF; there’s no Instagram or Bandcamp, and barely a presence on Spotify. That said, there’s something intriguing about the music that I’ve heard from the artists.

We’ve got new stuff from Holiday Music, Rob Loagan and Donny Mahlmeister.

What a wild and crazy week that was. Tons of music, and tons of great albums. We suggested you listen to the latest LPs from Lunchbox, Amy O, Gregor and Stephen’s Shore, among others…so go back and revisit those records if you’re into full-length listens. But, if not, some of our favorite acts popped up after a bit of an absence; there was new stuff from both Quivers and Emma Russack, so the Aussie contingent was representing with new music. This My Best Unbeaten Brother track that opens up the playlist is a ripper, but don’t you dare skip beyond new Yea-Ming or Cats of Transnistria. Just a bunch of great jams for you to enjoy, so just get right to it!
