New Track from Distractions

January 20, 2011 nathan.lankford Leave a comment

After listening to “All Night” by Distractions, I couldn’t wait for their album, Dark Green Sea, to finally hit stores. It came out yesterday, but it was only released to a limited pressing of 500, so you better head over to them quick if you like what you hear. They’ve recently let loose another of the singles from the album, and while it maintains the same sonic spectrum of the previously mentioned single, it’s got a lot more darkness to it. Perhaps this revolves around the deeper octaves of the vocals, but it could also be that the pacing of the track is a bit slower, leaving you time to contemplate your steps in time with the beat. Give this a try, and hopefully we’ll see the album released on a larger scale.

New Music From An Horse

January 20, 2011 RayRay Leave a comment

The Australian duo known as An Horse are prepping for their sophomore release Walls out in April on Mom + Pop Music. Prior to that release date, fans of the band can check out new number “Trains and Tracks” below. You won’t find much of a shift in sound from their debut LP, but I’m sure you’ll enjoy it regardless. I’m feeling it.

New Single from Brown Recluse

January 20, 2011 nathan.lankford Leave a comment

It’s been almost two years since I last thought to check in on Brown Recluse, but the band has decided to pop back into my mind, and based on their latest single, “Impression of a City Morning,” they’ll probably be staying there for some time. The band is releasing their debut for Slumberland titled Evening Tapestry on March 15th. It’s got this smooth jangling feel to it, one that’s sort of reminiscent of all things Scottish in my mind. That steady drum beat, overdubbed vocals, and nice keyboard moments to brighten the melody truly make me one to swing my arms about in the air in the most fey sort of way. Then again, pretty sure most music makes me feel this way.

More New Music From Akron/Family

January 19, 2011 RayRay Leave a comment

So a couple weeks ago we posted on a new tune from indie hit makers Akron/Family from their upcoming experiment of an album known as S/T II: The Cosmic Birth and Journey of Shinju TNT. I did dig that last track “So it Goes” and I’m now also feeling this new one “Silly Beans” even more. Sure it’s a little bit on the weird side at times, but it’s creative and has a great sound behind it. As previously mentioned, you can pick up the new LP iTunes or physically in stores on February 8th. Dig.

New Music from The Booze

January 19, 2011 nathan.lankford Leave a comment

Getting this press release kind of took me by surprise. You read of a band name like The Booze, and you sort of have these preconceived notions that its going to be sort of gritty, possibly sloppy–that’s not what I think of with this band at all. At first I wanted to throw names like Dr. Dog around, but then I kind of went further into my mind, and sort of rolled around with a bit of a cleaner sound of the Small Faces, or the Faces if you’re into Stewart and Wood. It’s got some barroom swing with a tinge of heartbreak. You’ll find the single below on the band’s new album, At Maximum Volume, which is slated to hit the streets around March 8th on Underrated Records. Seriously, give his a spin. It’s light, and I’ve been diggin that I put it on as I welcomed the sun back to Austin.

You know we’ve been long into Canada’s Ruby Coast, so much so that we had them play our SXSW Party back in 09′. Finally, the band have their debut ready for your ears, and today only they’re offering it up for your ears for absolutely free! The album is called Whatever This Is, and we’ve been jamming to it all day long over here. You definitely have to give this band a try, and like I said, if you go HERE, their debut record is totally FREE!. So go, preview it before you get it even, just try it on for size. There’s a small sample below.

New Tracks from The Bankees

January 18, 2011 nathan.lankford One comment

Running around the Internet looking for sweet tunes often leads you to promising little groups. My most recent discovery, and a band I’ve been closely following is The Bankees, a French group, and one not specializing in pop–well, not in the way I’ve come to think about French pop lately. They have a new Black EP coming out, and it’s really gritty and slow, which is a touch different than where they were last year. This single sort of lurks around your speakers, slowly walking in and out of your ears with a mellow pulse. Maybe it is just me, but I’ve certainly been jamming to this track all day long, so I hope it will do the same for you.

New Music from Balkans

January 18, 2011 nathan.lankford Leave a comment

Perhaps I’ve already explained my excitement about 2011, primarily based on the fact that I’ve been hearing a lot of really exciting guitar-based bands kicking out the jams. Yes, I know they’re have been some in the past, but it seems that we’ve spent a lot of time on electronica lately, so I’m pleased to introduce you to Balkans, an Atlanta four-piece. They’ve got a great new 7″ coming our way on Double Phantom Records on Februrary 22nd, and the A-side is ridiculously solid. It has a bit of that garage affectation, yet there’s more of a driving rhythm that steers it more towards a nice dirty pop bent. Just give it a go, and I’m sure you’ll be pleased.

More New Music From Starfucker

January 17, 2011 RayRay Leave a comment

As previously reported, indie dance makers Starfucker recently released a 7″ single with the catchy tune “Julius” as the A-side. Well now the boys are prepping for a full on album of new material entitled Reptilians for a release on March 8th via Polyvinyl Records. Prior to that release date, opening track to the album “Born” has just been made available as a free download. This one isn’t quite as catchy as the dance track “Julius”, but it is a nice opening number for the upcoming album. (via MOKB)

January 15, 2011 RayRay Leave a comment

The mysterious indie supergroup known as Mister Heavenly finally have some recorded music to share with us blogging geeks. Our first taste of the new band comes in the form of “Pineapple Girl” and doesn’t fail to deliver on the hype built by the group. It’s a catchy tune that’s already getting some heavy spins here in the ATH office. You can also check out the second new song “Mister Heavenly” over on Sub Pop. A debut LP is said to be out sometime this spring.
