More New Music From Jack Ladder & The Dreamlanders

Leave a comment

A few weeks ago, the beautiful voice of Jack Ladder caught my ear with his incredibly crafted number “Cold Feet”.  Well today I have another new song by Jack & his Dreamlanders called “Short Memory” that evokes the same sort of longing and passion as the previous song I posted.  Something about the guy’s voice just really hits home for me.  You can buy the new album from Jack Ladder & The Dreamlanders, Hurtsville, now on Holloweyed Records.

New Jam from The People’s Temple

One comment

It’s been almost an entire year since I’ve heard anything from the Michigan crew, The People’s Temple.  These cats play straight-up rock n’ roll, with a bit of swagger and a whole lot of history.  Their album Sons of Stone almost wore itself out on my record player, so I’m pleased to share with you this new tune off the group’s Looter’s Game 7″. For me, the tambourine is the standout in this song, wiggling it’s way around in the background, providing that classic psych sound that’s gaining prevalence on our ATH pages.  You can pick up your copy of the new 7″ from Hozac Records right now.

Introducing Youth of the Beast

2 comments

I got an email the other day about this Southern California based duo Youth of the Beast and I almost wrote them off without giving them much of a chance.  Not sure what possessed me not to give them a chance, but I’m glad that I gave them a listen as I’m enjoying the tunes more and more with each listen.  The song I have for you below “Shotgun Army” is easily the most catchy and poppy tune on the band’s recent LP release Seventy Seven.  A lot of the songs have this sort of folk-pop feel about them with the strong Nick Cave like vocals from Adrian Symcox really carrying each and every song.  If you’re feeling this one, the band’s entire album is streaming over on bandcamp.

Awesome Track from Island Twins

Leave a comment

Island Twins just released their self-titled album a short bit ago, and it’s finally making its way into my daily rotation.  Man, this is one helluva listen.  I wanted to give you this track from the band to illustrate the trio’s songwriting power.  It begins in an almost fay manner, sort of like you’re being asked to go on some otherworldly journey.  However, out of nowhere it just blasts off into this explosive chorus full of noise and distortion, only to return quietly.  It’s almost as if the song itself is meant to accompany the story line from the lyrics, but I’m just pushing my own agenda there I’m sure.  No matter, this band is rad. Check it out.

Earlimart has been away. They are back.

The band is back with the track “97 Heart Attack” which is available to stream on soundcloud (below) and costs you your email address for the privelege to download it at their website. Smooth higher register vocal with the loving echo. The album, System Preferences is due in September.

New Music from Orange Blossom Flyover

Leave a comment

Ryan Scally is the man behind Orange Blossom Flyover, a Massachusetts bedroom recording project, except the thing is, it seems to have blossomed into something much more than just a bedroom recording project, even adding some members.  Sure, Ryan’s got an infatuation with using beats, but he’s also coating those beats in buzzsaw guitars and heavily drenched vocals.  It makes for some magical blend that really stumps me for a comparison; I’m thinking throw War on Drugs in with some collection of 90s house beat samples and then politely throw in the term gaze at the end.  Whatever it is, it’s really keeping it real on my stereo right now.

More Mellow Music From Poor Moon

Leave a comment

Towards the beginning of summer, Nate shared with you guys a sweet little tune called “Holiday” from recent Sub Pop acquisition Poor Moon.  Today we have another new song entitled “Birds” from the band’s upcoming self-titled debut LP out August 28th.  Nathan compared them to Jens Lekman last time, and I totally see that here and throughout the upcoming release from the band.  I also see a little bit of ATH favorite band Crayon Fields in there somewhere and you know we’ve got to love that.

New Rocker From Prince Rupert’s Drops

One comment

I’m in a rock n roll mood today and my appetite is being quelled by this little number “Pillar to Post” by Brooklyn based rockers Prince Rupert’s Drops.  For the unacquainted, this psych rock foursome have actually been together for quite some time, but have never formally released a new LP until now.  Their upcoming album, Run Slow, is officially their debut LP that will see the light of day on November 6th via Beyond Beyond is Beyond Records.  The band creates a sound that really reminds me of local upstarts Ghost Wolves with a little bit more of a polished sound.

New Club Hit from Kisses

Leave a comment

Okay, maybe we’re about 24 hours late on this, but I absolutely loved Kisses old jam, “Bermuda,” and I think this new track surpasses it, so I’ve got to share it with you in case you missed out. I love the groove that pulses throughout the track, thus the name of the track referencing a heartbeat.  But, it still has a little bit of sunny cool that rubs you just the right way. This new single doesn’t appear to have a release date, or be associated with any release in particular, so do yourself and pick up their pretty rocking The Heart of the Nightlife from a few years back.

New Pop Jam From French Cassettes

Leave a comment

A friend of ours just tipped us off to this up and coming band French Cassettes the other day and I’m glad he did.  The band are a sort of jangly pop type who tend to have qualities similar to Mystery Jets early stuff or even a bit of Albert Hammond Jr. here and there  It’s a little bit immature at times, but still refreshing to hear a band that can have some pick up in their step.  This tune “Radley” is being promoted as a single for the group’s recently released EP Summer Darling.  You can stream that one in it’s entirety or even download for free over on bandcamp.
