New Music from Kevin Morby

Leave a comment

kevKevin Morby‘s made quite a name for himself with Woods and the Babies, but the last year has really seen him step into a world of his own.  He released Harlem River, which received rave reviews, then put on a killer set here at the Mohawk in Austin.  And, he’s back again, this time agreeing to a fresh new single with Suicide Squeeze Records; it’s set to be released on August 5th. There’s an intimacy to his performance on this track, with careful guitar work and a solemnity in his voice; you can even here a bit of imperfection in pieces, which is a nice nod.  Enjoy listening to this one.

Summer Song from Space Daze

Leave a comment

spaceThis track was tossed out a few weeks back, and I completely let it slip my mind how incredible it was, until now.  Space Daze is the side-proejct of singer/guitarist Danny Rowland of Seapony, and as he readies a record, he’s offered up this delightful tune.  It’s similar to the work of his main act, holding onto the sincerity of great pop songs, featuring gentle guitar and a really light vocal touch.  His album is titled Follow My Light Back Home, and it this song is any indicator, we’re going to have a great summer album to enjoy when it’s released next week.

Next up are Young Girls, who we helped release their Young Girls EP; it’s infectious surf pop with a dose of bad ass.  Following them will be Ramesh; we’ll be releasing his debut album on vinyl shortly, so come sample everything great he’s got in store.  And the night closes with Abram Shook, long considered one of the best songwriters in town.  If you don’t have his album Sun Marquee, you’ll want to grab it at the show! So come one, come all, and get there early to have the night of your life, with us, your friends at ATH and Side One Track One.

Check Out Study Hall

Leave a comment

hitsI love limited edition pressings from labels who I already trust, so I’m looking forward to this new Hits from the Streets Volume II, featuring the hottest up-and-comers from Nashville’s scene.  It’s being put out by Infinity Cat, and I’m totally in love with this track from Study Hall.  The band’s track on the album is a short little number, offering up this nerdy garage rock that’s begging for you wrap your ears around it.  I’m looking forward to discovering some other acts that I haven’t heard about yet, so you should keep your eye out for some surprises too.

Growlers Ready New Album

Leave a comment

The-GrowlersIf you haven’t gotten aboard the Growlers train, it’s time you all jump on this train.  They actually had two releases last year, and already they’re back with another one, lined up for later this year. Hung at Heart was a great LP, so we expect more of the same, especially after indulging in this latest single.  It’s got their soulful swagger, yet this song seems to hold more onto the traditional ballad format; that’s not a bad thing, just a slightly different spin on their sound.  Their new album is title Chinese Fountain, which will see a release of September 23rd via Everloving Records.

Two New Releases from Trouble In Mind: Soft Walls & Ultimate Painting

Leave a comment

LP.jkt.templateIt’s been a great year for releases from Trouble In Mind Records, with my favorite being the Greg Ashley LP, but they’ve also got two new releases you need to keep your eyes on in the near future.  The first is from Soft Walls (album art to the left); it’s the project of UK-based Dan Reeves, and it sounds an awful like combining Fujiya and Miyagi with your favorite psychedelic band.  The debut of the project is called No Time, and it’s out on July 29th.  The other act, Ultimate Painting, is  hugely popular, if you’re going of the projects of those involved (members of Mazes and Veronica Falls).  Their self-titled debut comes out on October 28th, and I’ve been streaming the new single for the last few days.  Take a listen to these two great tracks, and look for the records soon.

Popguns Bring Indiepop World Cup Tune + New Single

Leave a comment

popThe Austin Town Hall posse has been pretty absorbed in this World Cup.  So far we’ve watched every match (even Nigeria vs Iran, sadly), but we also love a good dosage of indiepop, or at least I do.  Which is perfect, because the Popguns (UK jangle pop greats) have offered up this nice bit of a World Cup treat, which you can download below.  It’s a nice tribute to one of the greatest sporting events in the world.  Also, they’ve got a brand new Lovejunky 7″ coming out soon via Matinee Recordings, so I tossed that in so you’ll plan ahead.

Fun Ditty from The Creases

Leave a comment

creasesPop fans you’re going to love this song.  It’s the latest single from Brisbane act, The Creases, and it’s a simple bit of fun to help get you through this Hump Day, in case the Netherlands/Aussie game isn’t doing it for you. It sort of reminds me of the early Vaccines, using simplicity to provide infectious hooks that will have you humming along (until you get the hang of the words).  This number will be featured on their Gradient EP; it’s being released by Liberation Music on the 25th of July.  Also, check out their new video to accompany the song HERE.

Wand Want You to Jam It Out

Leave a comment

wandoNeed a dosage of good rock n’ roll today? Then you’ll probably find yourself enjoying this new track from Wand…though there’s a more pleasant streak to this stomper.  The guitars knife in and out, though the distortion level is down in the mix, allowing for the vocals to cooly float their way into the tune.  That being said, you can hear just how rocking this track would be in the live setting, with plenty of space for the members to get their rock on.  You’ll actually have a chance to see it all come to fruition when the band goes on tour with Ty Segall this fall in support of their album, Ganglion Reef, which is hitting stores on August 26th via God? Records.

Music Go Music Offer Up Disco Inspired Tune

Leave a comment

musicYesterday this new track from Music Go Music popped up on the Internet, offering a look at the band’s new tunes.  This track offers two sides to the group, both which were on display on their last LP.  The song opens up with a dreamy quality, with a light wash of electronics hiding in the distance, but the song has an energetic groove once it gets going, picking up on the dance grooves made famous in every nod towards the 70s.  It’s a nice little spin for the track, getting you to stomp your feet as you flail about your bedroom. You can hear this song on the group’s new record, Impressions, which  will hit stores on August 19th via Thousand Tongues.
