Beautiful Pop from The Young Sinclairs

Leave a comment

youngI first caught wind of the Young Sinclairs reading the Big Takeover magazine, and throughout that time, I’ve seen several other people I respect have plenty of things to say about the Roanoke, VA group.  They just released the You Know Where to Find Me EP, and the lead single is just absolutely prefect; it brims with beautiful melody and spot-on harmonies.  The sound of the guitar is crisp, even meandering a bit into classic R&B picking from time to time.  If you’re looking for something to carry you to a better place, then you might have found the right track today!

Quiet Pop From The Shiny Brights

Leave a comment

a2836796891_10I don’t have much information to offer on this up and coming band The Shiny Brights from Australia, as little can be found via the interwebs.  What I can tell you is that the band create some wonderfully delightful hushed pop numbers which are surely to make a place inside your head.  The track below, called “Pushing Daisies” is one of those tracks complete with intimate lyrics longing for a loved one gone by the wayside.  It’s real.  Check out more of the band’s music over on bandcamp.

Quick Track from Furrow

Leave a comment

furrowFurrow is the latest band to join up with Bleeding Gold Records, and while their first big single might be rather short, time-wise, it’s definitely got me looking their way.  It comes out quick, with a distorted guitar that bounces and vibrates, while the vocals echo into the foreground.  Their first release is a limited cassette, which appears to already have sold out, due to the fact that this song is just so rad.  The cassette was titled A Field, and it’s so catchy, that I’ve been going back and playing this track over and over all day long.  It’s fun stuff, so you’ll enjoy.

Heavy Tune from Constant Mongrel

Leave a comment

constantI feel like I’ve been taking it easy on you this week, giving you mostly soft hits to soothe the soul.  But, I wanted to wrap up Friday with a heavy-hand, giving you some post punk from Melbourne’s Constant Mongrel.  Originally the group was set up as a duo, but have expanded to accommodate their live set…and possibly their recorded material.  This tune comes from the group’s Heavy Breathing LP, which is being released by RIP Society, who I consider a reliable choice for the darker side of my musical collection. When the discordant noise starts ringing at the end of this track, I consider it a hit; hope you feel the same.

More New Music From The Visibles

Leave a comment

the_visiblesEarlier this month, I found myself taking a liking to this new band from California going by the name The Visibles.  After that initial interest peaked, I started checking out more of the band’s music and found this new track “Trestled in Trees” floating around the interwebs.  It’s more of a slow crooner when compared to the earlier song I posted.  Nothing wrong with that if you ask me.

Once again, a new self-titled LP will be out on September 10th.

Great New Track From Frankie Rose

Leave a comment

Frankie RoseFrankie Rose is one of those artists who has somehow released two great albums already, but still seems to fly just a little bit under the radar.  Who knows why I feel that way, but I’ve always been a big fan of the music she has created over the last few years.  This year brings more new music our way in the form of new album Herein Wild due out September 24th on Fat Possum Records.  Prior to that date, we’ve got a new song called “Street of Dreams” streaming below.  Me likey.

I’m Enjoying Elvis Depressedly

Leave a comment

elvisdepressedlyPlease pay attention to the punctuation here, I’m listening and enjoying Elvis Depressedly. Not, as it might be misconstrued listening to Elvis, Depressedly.  The South Carolina group is another project from Mat Cothran, the man behind this year’s beautiful Coma Cinema release.  This project is more of a full group, though the construction is still fairly minimal. Earlier this year the group put out Holo Pleasures 7″ EP, which is just now making it’s way into my hands.  I’m pretty sure Cothran’s voice can do me no wrong at this point. You should rush out and donate to the cause, picking up the group’s EP…it’s currently at the name your own price special.

Rose Melberg Is In a Lot of Really Good Bands…like Imaginary Pants

Leave a comment

imaginaryRose Melberg is in a lot of really good bands folks.  One that I’ve taken a particularly liking to has been Imaginary Pants, who released a 7″ earlier this summer, unbeknownst to me.  But, I’m on it now! It’s hard to follow that lady’s prolific writing! But, the group has offered up their new Imaginary Pants 7″ for free download, though I suggest you support the cause and pick it up from Rok Lok Records. Of course, I’m going to stick with my theme for today by posting the slower song, though there’s a more upbeat track on the flip-side.  Sure, I’m late on this, but how can I not write about great pop tracks?

Breathe Owl Breathe To Release New Album: Passage of Pegasus

Leave a comment

PrintThere must be something in the water this week, forcing me to let go of my angst temporarily and revel in wonderful sad bastard music.  It’s true, you probably wouldn’t describe Breathe Owl Breathe as playing purely in that vein, but this track surely has a down-trodden feel to it.  Part of me hears bits of Silver Jews, though part of me hears the faintest Jarvis Cocker drawl in the vocals; I like both.  On this track, the attention to detail is executed perfectly, whether it’s the quieted drums or the light touches of strings.  You’ll be able to find this song on Passage of Pegasus, which comes out on October 15th.

More From Keep Shelly In Athens

Leave a comment

The new album At Home from Keep Shelly In Athens is approaching it’s September 17th release date and so the promotional material keeps hitting the intarwebs. This time, it is a gem of dark dance synth that builds, vocalizes, dances and fades called “Flyaway”.

The band is co-headlining a mini-tour in October with Chad Valley. You people on the coasts are lucky. That is going to be one gem of show, the Chad Valley set at Holy Mountain was one of my mostest favoritest things this year.
