Sloppy Rocker from Heavy Cream

Leave a comment

Everyone always fawns over the Kills, and rightly so, but I’ve recently come across something that’s just a little bit better, just a touch dirtier.  Heavy Cream‘s part of the blossoming Nashville scene that’s blowing up at the moment, and I’m really digging this track.  It’s got the balls you want from a female-led band, offering sex appeal, brattiness and killer riffs to go along.  If you’re digging what you hear, you’ll be able to find this song along with others when the band release their new record, Super Treatment, on Infinity Cat Records.  The Ty Segall produced album comes out on May 8th, and you better be ready to rock with this group; they mean business!

Great New Music from Francisco the Man

Leave a comment

I first encountered Francisco the Man awhile back, but had totally forgotten about him until the great blog I Guess I’m Floating posted a track from the new single by the group from Los Angeles.  But, in checking in, I discovered he’d also posted a couple of new jams to go along with the single, one that you can only get via Soundcloud (or here).  For me, listening to this sort of reminds me of listening to Ducktails; it’s got carefully crafted pop/folk tunes, yet there’s these ambient noises coating the music, giving it this distant quality that I completely enjoy.  Just listen to these two tracks and pretend like you’re not excited by the music; I dare you.

More New Music From Sleepy Sun

Leave a comment

A little over a month ago, we heard a brand new song from Cali based rockers Sleepy Sun called “Sitvey Pond”.  Well now we have another new song entitled “V.O.G.” and it’s equally as awesome as the first.  You can find that tune below and we’ll also remind you again that the new album from Sleepy Sun, Spine Hits, hits stores next week via The End Records.  You should probably pick that shit up.

More New Music From Mirror Lady

Leave a comment

Not too long ago, I was sent a new song by California based group Mirror Lady called “You Left Me”.  Having known very little about the band prior, the song was a welcome pop number that has been racking up tons of plays on my iTunes.  This new song “Hands Are Tied” is sure to get similar plays as soon as I get it over to some sort of portable music device.  Once again, the group has a new EP entitled Roman Candles that can be purchased over on bandcamp or just streamed in its entirety.  Keep liking these guys more and more.

Sweet Electro Pop from Seventeen Evergreen

Leave a comment

Okay, so if you just listen to the first little bit of this song, then you’ll definitely get the electro-pop elements featured at the beginning of this new jam by Seventeen Evergreen.  But, while the song goes along, it evolves into more of an avant-pop construction, coating the track with slight bits of ambient noise, before returning to the electro-pop hook.  You can find this track this week in your local record store on the group’s new release, Steady On, Scientist, which was put out by Lucky Number.  It’s definitely more than just your average listening affair, so get on it!

New Tune From Father John Misty

Leave a comment

I’m sure many of you know this, but let’s at least do our due diligence and note that Father John Misty is the official solo/side project of J. Tillman.  I get a bit hesitant to call it the guys first solo album, as some will do, but I just don’t see how a guy with a slew of recorded material under his own name will ever have a “debut” LP.  This is the first LP under the FJM name however, which goes by the name Fear Fun, and comes out May 1st on Sub Pop Records.  The songs within the album will give you a somewhat more upbeat feel from Tillman as opposed to his more recent solo work.  Until the release date, check out this new song “Nancy From Now On” and let us know what ya think.

Great Jam from Jaill

Leave a comment

A few weeks back Sub Pop announced that it’d be releasing the new album from the trio, Jaill.  Their last effort, That’s How We Burn, is a vastly underrated record, unless, of course, you’re in the know. Their new set of songs is titled Traps, and it’ll be out June 12th.  Just one listen to this and you’ll hopefully see why I’m so excited to hear the whole collection. It’s got just the right amount of hooks, a bit of quirkiness in the vocals, and even a bit of foot-tapping going on.  If this is how I kick off summer, it can’t get here soon enough!

Nice Trip Down Memory Lane with The Rainyard

Leave a comment

One of the few things I’ve grown to adore about the Internet is the abundance of bands that have reemerged over the last decade, bringing us music many of us thought was gone, or we were simply unaware of at the moment.  For me, I’ll admit to the latter when I discovered old Perth group, The Rainyard.  Oddly, I could see this band making huge waves today with their smooth jangling pop tunes, and I really enjoy the gruffness of the vocals, reminding me of a smoother Paul Westerberg. The following song comes from the group’s album, A Thousand Days, which you can pick up from the group by naming your price.

More New Jams from Suckers

Leave a comment

You know we’re supporters of Suckers, so we’re happy to offer up a nice stream of the band’s second single from their upcoming record, Candy Salad.  Said record, the group’s second, will be out on April 24th on Frenchkiss Records, and you can expect a little bit of a different sound this time.  The group seems a lot more focused in the recording of this effort, offering up a tightened sound this go around.  It does lose a little bit of the magic from their debut, yet you’ll definitely find plenty to fall for on this effort, such as the band’s favorite accompaniment–a nice heartfelt whistle.

New Melodic Jam From Choir Of Young Believers

We’ve been all about Danish group Choir of Young Believers ever since they played our day party during SXSW week.  Prior to thoroughly enjoying their live show, I had been jamming their new album Rhine Gold for a few months and have been giving it heavy spins ever since.  The album, officially out April 10th on Ghostly International, is currently streaming over on the Hype Machine as we speak.  For a sample of what’s in store, check out free MP3 below “Sedated”.
