New Music from King Creosote & Jon Hopkins

March 1, 2011 nathan.lankford Leave a comment

Just last week I was raving about how great the new album from King Creosote was on our SITE. Then, seemingly out of nowhere our friends over at Domino send us a track offering up more new sweet tunes from the man, this time with music written by Jon Hopkins, and KC singing over it. It’s every bit as splendid as I thought it would be. This record, Diamond Mine, will be out on March 28th, and it possesses the same beauty we got from the latest from KC, just this time giving him the freedom to let his voice reign supreme over the music. I’ve been listening to a lot of fast rock this week, but even still, one can’t miss the magnificence in the track below.

New Tunes from Silver Shampoo

February 28, 2011 nathan.lankford Leave a comment

There’s a sweet new label quietly kicking out some really solid jams this year, and we’ll be bringing you a bit of the tunes from the label this week. For now, we’ll call the label Krazy Punx, and the first gem I’ve grabbed onto comes from Silver Shampoo, a product of Paul Museums. The newest album is called Higher and Higher, and its sort of all over the place, but in the most wonderful sort of way. You get a bit of garage, but then the next track you’ve got this catchy little bop pushing you along. It’s just a whole lot of fun, and the kind of thing we can all dig as the weather gets sunny. Try this out for size.

New Music From Man/Miracle

February 28, 2011 RayRay Leave a comment

I’ve been really digging this new tune “Don’t Waste It” from Oakland based outfit Man/Miracle. The track is set to appear on an upcoming single from the band due out tomorrow on Third Culture Records. Lucky for you and me, the band is coming into town next week for SXSW as well. Stay tuned for news on when you might get the chance to see them live.

New Track from 1,2,3

February 28, 2011 nathan.lankford Leave a comment

As of right now, the world probably doesn’t know too much about the Pittsburgh duo, 1,2,3, but that’s soon to change, especially with the band signing to Frenchkiss. While the release date for the band’s debut record is still a bit tentative, the Internet has been given this new track, which is expected to be one of the featured tracks from said debut. There’s definitely a nice little groove that moves through this song, and with a full-band in the live setting, you can expect this to group to win everyone over, especially when they make their way to Austin, Tx for SXSW. Give a listen.

New Music from The Bell

February 25, 2011 nathan.lankford One comment

Who isn’t a fan of hook-laden post-punk with sweet melodies and electronic pulses? Well, you should be; you should also be a fan of The Bell, a group from Sweden who are about to release their latest record Great Heat through Badman Recording Company. Based on this first single, the album is going to be filled with really solid melodies, fueled by the band’s usage of electronic flourishes, giving the band a sound that fits perfectly into any late night gathering of debauchery. It’s got this powerfully forceful beat, yet it’s still possesses hints of beauty for those who like things a little polished. Take a listen.

New Music From The Donkeys

February 25, 2011 RayRay Leave a comment

San Diego veteran band The Donkeys have a new song called “Don’t Know Who We Are” that I’ve taken a liking to lately. The track appears on the band’s upcoming full length Born With Stripes due out April 26th on Dead Oceans. I’d recommend that you kids start paying attention and pick this one up come April. You won’t regret it.

New Sonny and the Sunsets

February 25, 2011 nathan.lankford Leave a comment

I’m not sure quite how Sonny Smith manages everything he does, and still manages to make most if downright enjoyable. Between making album art for fictional bands he’s created, not to mention the music, then an EP with his friends in the Sandwitches, and now he’s back with his group’s own new record, Hit After Hit, which comes out April 12th on Fat Possum. This track has the more stripped down country feel that the latter half of the group’s last release contained. In the meantime, I’m sure that Sonny’s got more in the works we don’t quite know about yet, but I’ll happily be satisfied with this here song.

New Music From La Snacks

February 24, 2011 RayRay Leave a comment

It’s been quite some time since I’ve heard any news coming from an old local favorite La Snacks. Well the guys are in fact still together and are actually prepping the release of a new 7″ single come this April. Below you’ll find one of two tracks on the release called “My Little Sugary Friend”. You can also check out new song “Christ Sakes and Milkshakes” over on the La Snacks bandcamp page. Both songs are making me hope that the guys are gonna stick around for awhile this time and not keep us so worried about their state of being.

New(ish) Music From The Honey Pies

February 24, 2011 RayRay Leave a comment

Here’s how things work in our music world sometimes: we receive email about an awesome band, we get busy, we lose said email about awesome band, we somehow find said email about awesome band, and then we finally post about awesome band. So here is a bit of a belated post about Australian fuzz-pop band The Honey Pies. As previously stated, I dig their tunes and recommend all fans of the style to pick up the debut LP Think of England in your local record store or on itunes. Here also is a belated upload of The Honey Pies extremely catchy single “Get it Right”.

New Tunes from Heidi Spencer

February 24, 2011 nathan.lankford Leave a comment

Well, this is a bit of a change up for us this week, as we’ve been running around with lots of high energy tracks, but I couldn’t resist a bit of mellowness as the week winds down. Heidi Spencer & the Rare Birds have been making a huge wave over with the NME, and you can tell that a lot of American audiences will definitely enjoy her work due to its similarity to a woman and her harp. Regardless of similarities, Spencer does seem to have a bit more of a traditional folkie in her. You can check out her album on March 29th, titled Under Streetlight Glow. Give the tune a listen.
