Nice Pop Jam from Young Buffalo

Leave a comment

After releasing the excellent Young Von Prettylips EP earlier this year, Young Buffalo is back with a brand new track to win you over today.  The duo has just released a new single that we’ve got here for you today, titled “Baby Demons.”  There’s a bit of an angular jaunt that kicks off the track, but the distance of the vocals really give this track an old school sort of feel to it, and not in that blatantly nostalgic sort of way.  If the band keeps writing tracks like this one, then there’s telling where they’ll go, but our bet is that it’s going to be awesome.

Funky New Jam from Fol Chen

Leave a comment

Are you looking for something a little bit peppy to get your day started?  Well, if so, you better get on this brand new track from Fol Chen.  While this track doesn’t come in preparation for a new record, it does come with a bit of interest to it.  The band has created a new sound device called the Tetrafol, which they used to manipulate the sounds you’ll hear on this new jam.  I’m not much of a music maker, so I’m not sure precisely how it all works, but you can read about it HERE to get the low-down on how it works, and how you can use it at home.  Regardless, this track is a fun little jam to kick off the week.

Fresh New Rocker from Manatee

Leave a comment

If you thought the year was over in regards to new music, well, Slumberland Records has news for you kids! They’ve got one more release coming your way soon,  this brand new 7″ flexi from Oakland’s Manatee. I can’t get the A-Side from this excellent release out of my head, and I think that’s mostly because it sounds like old school rock n’ roll coming out of Oakland, and by that, I mean circa late 80s and into the 90s (that’s old school) for me.  It’s a bit punky, but also a bit quirky, which definitely seems to fit the band’s attitude.  Come on, the B-Side is titled “Chased by Anderson Cooper,” so it’s all about fun, yet it’s all about being good too!

New Music from Sharon Van Etten

Leave a comment

I know Turkey Day is drawing near, but there’s still some great music leaking out today, so I’m going to try and stay on top of it.  This new track from Sharon Van Etten has me really excited, and not just because it features members of The National, Walkmen and Wye Oak; it’s because I’ve got a bit of a crush on Sharon…and her music too! The songstress has a new album coming out titled Tramp, which will be released on Jagjaguwar on February 7th.  This song’s got a nice little cascading guitar line cutting through the rhythm guitar, and Van Etten’s voice sounds every bit as beautiful as I remember it in the live setting.  This is shaping up to be a good 2012 already.

New Music from Allbrook/Avery

Leave a comment

This was an interesting surprise when it popped up in my inbox this weekend.  Allbrook/Avery is the project of the bassist from Tame Impala, one of the popular indie bands of the day.  The group has just released their album Big Art, and it’s something that I think offers a bit for all listeners.  Part of it is that sort of fuzzed out guitar playing, the sort you associated with Tame Impala, but beneath it all is this really accessible pop vocal delivery, begging for people to really dig into the track.  If you like what you hear, be sure to check out the band’s record, as it’s full of moments just like this.

New Music From Mwahaha

Leave a comment

I’ve been sitting on this band with the strange name Mwahaha for a little while unsure of whether or not I was really into their music.  Well after a few days I’ve decided that, though the band is extremely strange, I’m sort of into their sound.  It’s a synth heavy sound with a mellowed out yet powerful vocal delivery.  The song below “Sleep Deep” is on the band’s debut self-titled LP due out December 6th.  Those finding the tune interesting should check out two more free tracks streaming on the group’s bandcamp page.

Sorry I Missed This: Spanish Prisoners

Leave a comment

With so much going on in the month of October, I regret to inform you folks that I missed something pretty excellent, the brand new record from New York’s Spanish Prisoners.  The band has self released their album, Gold Fools, over at their web site, where you can pay what you want for it (please pay to support the band). There’s a recent remix of the following track floating around, but I think the original epitomizes everything I love about this listen.  The guitars trickle ever so gently, as percussion builds up, and the light-hearted vocals really add another level to the song.  Head over and check out the band’s record quick; you don’t want to miss this one.

New Pop from Raised Among Wolves

Leave a comment

I love spending my weekends searching the Internet for really solid pop tracks.  Usually I’ll come across some gems, and once again, I stumbled across this wonderful little piece from Denmark’s Raised Among Wolves. They’ve got an album coming out soon titled Bear Tracks, and I’m hoping it’s full of such low key pop moments as the lead single from the record. There’s nothing that blows you away immediately, but the steady stream of the melody, along with the quirky pieces floating in the background definitely allows the band to build a nice little tune.  Hope you enjoy this one.

New Music from Wide Sea

Leave a comment

Wide Sea is a German transplant four piece currently living it up in London.  They first caught my ear when I was following Edwyn Collins label, AED, seeing as he’s one of my favorite all-time songwriters.  The band is just now releasing their debut record A Place to Call Home, and while it might not harken precisely back to the work of Edwyn and OJ, it still has a huge bit of mass appeal.  The title track begins steady and soft, with a gentle swing to it that kicks in almost immediately.  For me, these are the sort of songs I always fall in love with, which is probably going to be the case once I spend more time with this album.
