New Tune from Foreign Born (amidst hiatus)

Leave a comment

Sad news coming our way as Foreign Born have decided to turn their focus elsewhere, at least for the time being.  I thoroughly loved their record, Person to Person, so I’m sad to see them take a break, but they do have other projects to focus on, such as Fools Gold.  Fortunately, before they head off into the California sun, they’ve left us with a brand new track to enjoy.  Sadly, it only makes me wish all the more that they wouldn’t hang things up just yet, as they clearly have some brilliant stuff left to accomplish.

New Tunes from Forest Fire

Leave a comment

Man, it’s been a really good day for quirky pop numbers all over the Internets.  This sprawling little number from New York’s Forest Fire is just another one of those.  The band have recently signed to Fat Cat, who will be releasing their newest album, Staring at the X, on October 18th.  If you listen closely, I swear you’ll hear the voice of Devandra Banhart, though the music sounds nothing at all like that.  Light orchestrated touches come in and out, and carefully echoed guitar chords clang in the background.  Whatever their formula is for songwriting, I’m absolutely loving it today.

New Music from Quiet Company

Leave a comment

The guys in Quiet Company have been hard at work the last few years, building a large fan base in Austin, and moving their popularity beyond our fair city.  On October 4th, the band will release their latest album, We Are All Where We Belong. They’ve been kind enough to offer the public a free glimpse of the record with the song “Fear & Fallacy, Sitting in a Tree.”  It’s based around a piano structure, and as it bursts into a pop euphoria, you’ll notice some similarities to the old tunes of Ben Kweller. It’s gentle, it’s hook-laden, and it’s just a joy to listen to, so give yourself a chance to familiarize yourself with Quiet Company.

New Music from Gringo Star

This little track has been floating around the Internet for a few days now, and we couldn’t help other than to toss it up your way.  Gringo Star, another band from the ATL, are ready to release their new album, Count Yer Lucky Stars, on October 25th via Gigantic Music.  If it’s got the hooks that you’ll find on this song, and those rising vocals during the chorus, it’s going to definitely be a joy.  You’ll probably find tons of things to compare the group too, but on this track, the guitar sound definitely has a quality I haven’t heard from a lot of guitars as of late.  It’s just a great track, hands down.

New Music From Frightened Rabbit

Leave a comment

Here’s a new single we just happened upon called “Fuck This Place” by one of our favorite indie bands Frightened Rabbit.  According to the internet worlds, the song is part of a 3 song EP being sold only on the band’s current tour.  The two other songs from the EP “The Work” and “Scottish Winds” can be heard as streams via Music Ninja.  We chose this slow burning jam to share with you guys because it features some superb vocals from the lovely Camera Obscura leading lady Tracyanne Campbell.  Scotts unite!

New Music From Gauntlet Hair

Leave a comment

Our amigos over at GvB ran this lo-fi pop jam “Top Bunk” by Denver based band Gauntlet Hair a few days ago.  The song has honestly taken me some time to get into, but I’m starting to enjoy it more and more with each listen.  This song and 8 others will appear on the new self-titled album from the band due out October 18th on Dead Oceans.

More New Music from King Louie

Leave a comment

If you haven’t heard, King Louie’s Missing Monuments just released their latest album, Painted White.  Pressing hard to get some much deserved love, the band has released another single for the masses, “It’s Like XTC.”  No, it doesn’t sound like XTC, but it does sound like a rocking good time being had by a bunch of friends at a local bar.  It’s not super polished, which gives credibility to King Louie’s garage sound.  Energetic tracks are supposed to be fun, and the country tinged stomper definitely will give you that. Add it to your playlist, and have a blast.  Don’t forget to pick up Painted White while you’re at it.

New Tunes From A.A. Bondy

Leave a comment

One of my favorite singer songwriters A.A. Bondy has a new song floating around the web these days.  The new song, “The Heart is Willing”, can be found below for your streaming enjoyment.  Apparently it’s part of a new album from Bondy entitled Believers that’s due out September 13th on Fat Possum Records.  It really baffles me how this guy still manages to fly just below the cusp of being huge.

New Music from Turf War

Leave a comment

Really, there’s two things coming out of this post.  First, Atlanta is continuing its reign over the end of summer, with several bands putting out great tracks/records.  Turf War is just another of those, giving you a stomping jangle rocker to grab onto this afternoon. Which brings us to point two: the band will be releasing their record, Years of Living Dangerously, in September on Old Flame Records, who we’d like to point out now, are pushing some great music your way lately.  There you have it folks: good Atlanta music, continue good music from one of our favorite labels.  Happy Monday to you.
