aabondyWe are going to make our obligatory Daytrotter post this week with a set by the incredible singer/songwriter A.A. Bondy.  The up and coming artist plays 4 songs from his most recent release of 2009 When the Devil’s Loose.  This track “I Can See the Pines Are Dancing” is a highlight of the set just as it was a highlight for us last year.

SXSW Watchlist: Jets Overhead

One comment

jetsoverheadWhaaaa?!?  It’s barely February and you guys are already talking SXSW?  You bet your ass we are!  Now still a little over a month or so away, we wanted to kick off our SXSW watchlist bands this year with Victoria, BC band Jets Overhead.  Hailing from the great white north, you can hear the obvious Stars/Metric/Broken Social Scene influences that run deep in the sounds of this band.  Of course the ATH loves those sounds!  Not to write them off as just another Canadian atmospheric rock band, Jets Overhead also show some 70s psych rock parts similar to elements of Velvet Underground (anyone else agree on that?).  Now touring behind their second full length LP No Nations, the Canadians will be making their way into Austin during SXSW week and we think you should give them a go.  Being as early as it is, we can’t find much information about when and where the band is actually playing.  We’ll keep ya posted.

We weren’t huge fans of Sondre Lerche’s last album, but we still value him as a musician and songwriter.  If he floats your boat, head on over to The Parish on Wednesday night to check out his intimate set.  Opening support will be provided by JBM.  I’m gonna drop an old tune down below to show you why  we’ve still got love for ya Sondre.

New Music From Efterklang

efterklangWe were introduced to the greatness known as Efterklang during SXSW last year, and we’ve been following the band ever since.  Previously only available in video form as of a few days ago, this new song “Modern Drift” now has an MP3 available for downloading.  The track will appear on the band’s upcoming album Magic Chairs due out Feb. 22nd on 4AD.  I’m honestly enjoying this track probably more than anything else that has come out so far this year.  Let’s hope the rest of the album delivers as well.
