Mellow Tune From Scott Yoder

Leave a comment

yoderI’ve already shared quite a bit of louder, more upbeat, numbers with you today so I thought I’d even out the mix with a gentler tune. This track, from Scott Yoder‘s (The Pharmacy) debut solo release, is by no means a snoozer, rather it’s a well crafted bluesy acoustic blend that relies on the strong vocals of the front man. So ease on into this tune, and lookout for the debut record from Yoder, which shares the name of this track, and is out March 25th via Annibale Records.

Everybody Wants To Love Japanese Breakfast

Leave a comment

unspecifiedSometimes you hear a track for the first time and it grips you so much that you just know it’s going to be either stuck in your head or blasting out of your headphones for the next week. This week’s jam has gotta be “Everybody Wants To Love You” from Japanese Breakfast, which is the side project of Little Big League’s Michelle Zauner. This track leaps and soars; the cotton candy vocals mix so well with the backing vocals that you can’t help but to sing along. Honestly, I don’t even care if this track is yesterday’s news to you; jam it loud and relish in the lushness.Their debut album,Psychopomp,will be out April 1st viaYellow K Records.Don’t forget to look out for sets from them during SXSW as well.

How’d I Miss This: New Single From Diet.

12717546_892814810838817_2382622205981121431_nDiet. are the next big thing to come out of the land down under–their surfy jangle sound is reminiscent of bands you should already love like The Drums or even our own Shivery Shakes.This track, “The Rip” does exactly what its title suggests in that the electric guitar cuts in sharp riffs through the mix. The vocals are what remind me of the The Drums, with their understated spunk and drama that bathe the whole tune with a retro sound. Take a listen and getwith these gents before they take off big time.

Look Into Lionlimb

Leave a comment

lionI think the last single from Lionlimb definitely played upon the band’s knack to come off (vocally, at least) in the manner of Elliott Smith, but this song does a bit more to distance itself from that notion. My ears almost hear a smoothed out R&B focus, twisted a bit by a solo-ing bit that knifes through the track…not to mention the bounce of the piano. For me, this is perfect timing, as it’s good to see that the band aren’t sold entirely on one sound, meaning hopefully those stupid press folks (wait, is that me?) can steer clear of the old pigeonhole. Look for Shoo on March 4th via Bayonet Records.

Pollen Continue w/ Promise of 4 LPs in 2016

Leave a comment

pollenEarlier this year Pollen dropped their first LP of 2016, Confidence Will Kill You, but they aim to back up their bravado with another album in April, Scandinavian Wool. I’ve really been gravitating towards this single quite a bit; there’s something classic in the structures of the song, reminiscent of the fuzzier, early days of Brit pop. There’s a melody, but just enough mud and fuzz on the mix to make it more than your ordinary fare. Look for the new effort to be released on Royal Mint, with the promise of two new LPs to follow. Will it all be good? I bet so!

Another Hit from Rolling Blackouts Coastal Fever

Leave a comment

rbcfMan, is this record out yet? If you hadn’t notice, we’ve been clamoring for Rolling Blackouts Coastal Fever with every single they unleash from their forthcoming mini-album. I feel like this tune offers a glimpse at more dynamism in their songwriting, shining things off for a bit of Springsteen or Vile feel to it. I will say there’s definitely polish on this one, presented differently than their other tunes, so I hope it makes for an encouraging final listen when Talk Tight finally hits…you know, a little of this, a little of that; it’ll be available on March 25th.

Having Fun? No? Listen to Hudson Bell

Leave a comment

hudsonbellOver the last whoever knows how long, band’s have been trying to sound like they’re DIY or lo-fi. Sometimes it’s a success, sometimes you can tell it was a preconceived notion, but with Hudson Bell it feels real. Whether that was the intention or not, it sounds imperfect in the most enchanting way possible. By no means will you hear the polish, but the music still contains the hooks that implore listeners to come back time and time again to their favorite songs. The band is set to release their new effort, Yerba Buena, on April 22nd, so have fun with this tune before we get there!

New Single & Video From Fruit Bats

Leave a comment

unnamed (16)Over the years I’ve made plenty of posts on this site about Fruit Bats and their Americana sound. Today I’m pleased to share with you a brand new single from Eric Johnson and company entitled “From A Soon-To-Be Ghost Town”. Once again the listener is treated to a unique take on the indie folk/country genre. The driving and rambling sounds make me want to head out on the open road.

Fruit Bats will releaseAbsolute Loser on May 13th via Easy Sound Recordings.
