More New Music From Lord Huron

Leave a comment

The release of Lonesome Dreams from ATH approved act Lord Huron is coming next month on IAMSOUND so it’s a good time to get some press going for the band.  A couple months ago, we posted up on the new song that everyone was buzzing about “Time to Run”.  Well today we’ve got another song off the record entitled “Brother” that’s also been floating around the interwebs for the last few days.  Hopefully this one will sway your decision on wether or not to pick up the record when it comes out.  You better.

New Stuff From Teen Daze

Leave a comment

One album I have been really enjoying on calm mornings or post show is Teen Daze‘s All of Us Together. It blends a lot of what I loved from my electronic roots with a simplicity that is hard to do, atmospheric backgrounds with rising and falling activity keeping your mind engaged. Reminding a bit of Cosmic Baby redone by Tycho. It will likely end up on the my best of the year list strictly based on the number of plays.

Teen Daze will release another LP this year, November 6th, called The Inner Mansions. You can preorder it here on Lefse Records. To get you clicking, here is the track “Spirit” just made available on Soundcloud. Also check out “Garden 2″ if you want the mellow side.

ACL Battles: M83 vs. M. Ward

One comment

Well it’s time ladies and gents, time for everyone to start mapping out that ACL schedule and deciding who is really going to be worth your time in the sun.  While skimming through the schedule, the first major conflict I see for a lot of people has to be on Friday with M. Ward and M83 both going on at 7:30.  Now I also see Thievery Corporation going on around the same time, but I’m going to leave them out of the mix since they aren’t really my thing.  

So who you gonna pick?  The atmospheric electronic jams of M83?  Or would you rather go with the songwriting style of the legendary M. Ward?  I think I know who I’d pick…. I think.  

Let’s hear your thoughts.

More New Rockers From PAWS

Leave a comment

It’s been a long, slow week and I feel like it’s time for some good ‘ol honest rock music in my life to perk things up a bit.  I’m satisfying my desires with not one, but two new songs coming your way from Glasgow based rock group PAWS.  Both songs are fairly straight forward rock tunes with nice drum action behind simple guitars and dual vocal duties.  I’m on board with Nate and also giving them my stamp of approval.  As previously mentioned, PAWS have a new album entitled CokeFloat! coming out on October 6th via FatCat.

New Electro-Pop From Calvin Love

Leave a comment

Here’s a nice electro-pop themed tune called “Magic Hearts” from Cali based musician Calvin Love.  His music would be adequately described as bedroom pop with some wicked 80s style beats and spooky vocals to boot.  A debut LP entitled New Radar will be coming on November 6th via Autumn Tone Records.  We of course recommend that you see your local record store to make a purchase if you enjoy this one.

New Music from Fantasy Rainbow

Leave a comment

When I think about the greater effects of the Internet I always look to the likes of Dylan Baldi of Cloud Nothings, creating incredible music that seems rooted in real musical knowledge.  This is the exact sentiment I had when I listened to the track from teenage Oliver Catt, who’s gone on to form a new band with his friends titled Fantasy Rainbow.  Their latest single shows great depth in the songwriting, not to mention the quality of the recording itself.  It’s nice to know that with music now excessively abundant to the masses, a teenager lost in his own world can quietly listen to his idols and craft his own great sound. If you like what you hear, click on their name to check out other tracks from the band.

New Jams From The Switch

Leave a comment

Here’s some tasty new gems from UK based outfit The Switch.  The tunes in the soundcloud player below are catchy Brit-pop numbers “Heard it All Before” and “Dont Worry Baby”.  You’ll hear a familiar breezy pop style in both songs similar to Texas boys Young Girls mixed with a little bit of Two Wounded Birds.  It’s really excellent work however you want to label it really.  Both songs will be coming your way via 7″ single this November on It’s All Happening Records.

Warm Pop from Earth First

Leave a comment

One of my recent discoveries has been Cloudberry Records, who seem to be the perfect purveyors of fine indie-pop.  I’ve highlighted some gems by them already, and here’s another release from Earth First that you can get your hands on now! The group is a Brooklyn based act, though they sound nothing like what the city is known for at the moment…and I mean that as a compliment.  I love the warmth of the vocals, and the cascading jangling guitars that fill the background of the track.  If you love indie pop, go grab the latest 7″ from the band.

More New Music from Gangi

Leave a comment

Not too long ago I brought you a track from Gangi, but it was a slow, sprawling sort, unfolding gloriously over a short span.  This new tune, “Gold,” is a little bit different, with what feels like a similar approach that one would find on Arcade Fire recordings, using backing vocals in gang form and piling on layers of instrumentation.  Again, you can find this tune on the group’s upcoming record, Gesture Is, which will be coming out on October 2nd via Office of Analogue and Digital.  If the group can maintain this sort of balance on the LP, it’s going to really win people over.
