New Single From Tallest Man On Earth

Leave a comment

Those of you who haven’t checked out the new Adult Swim single series should really head over to the site and see what they have to offer.  Already having posted great new songs by Best Coast, Mastadon, and to How to Dress Well, they seem to know what’s up in the music game.  Today the site posted this great new single by long time ATH favorite Tallest Man on Earth.  The song “Weather of a Killing Kind” evokes all those great feelings we’ve grown to love from Matsson and solidifies his claim as one of the best singer song writers around.

In other TMOE news, we somehow missed posting on his new song “In the Pockets” which is a new jam being packaged with the re-release of Matsson’s debut EP on Gravitation/Dead Oceans (out now BTW).  You can stream that new one via One Thirty BPM.

Free EP from Generationals

Leave a comment

Surely you know of our love over here for Generationals, as we’ve raved about the band for some time now.  If you haven’t caught on to them, go get yourself a copy of their most recent, Actor Caster, and you’ll no doubt be having a good time.  The good folks over at Park the Van are offering up a new EP from the group, featuring a few remixes and a new tune.  The best part? It’s all free. All you have to do is head HERE, and the EP is yours for free.  Who doesn’t enjoy free music, especially when it’s from a great band.

New Music From We Were Promised Jetpacks

Leave a comment

I was fairly excited yesterday when I caught wind of a new upcoming We Were Promised Jetpacks album.  The new album entitled In The Pit Of The Stomache, is due out later this Fall on October 4th via FatCat Records.  As we wait for that date in anticipation, here’s new slow burning single “Act On Impulse” form the forthcoming LP.  It takes a little while to get going, but when it does, it shows a lot of promise for a young band growing up before our eyes.

New Folk Hit from Musikanto

Leave a comment

One man’s love for fast rock n’ roll can only take him so far, so I’ve always got to have some folk or melodramatic jams to help me unwind.  Recently I’ve been introduced to Musikanto, a Chicago songwriter who will likely be making a name for himself all over the country soon. Press releases hint at Van Morrison and Ryan Adams connections, and I definitely see that there, but I also see little pieces of early Mason Jennings.  It’s heartfelt and honest, and there’s a willingness to provide a good narrative, even from a first-person point of view.  Looking for something mellower today? This could be your jam; you can grab it, as well as the rest of the songs from his Sky of Dresses album on August 2nd via Grape Juice Records.

New Tunes from Young Buffalo

Leave a comment

I have a feeling that people are going to find it hard to pigeon-hole Young Buffalo.  They’re set to release their Young Von Prettylips EP on Cantora Records on July 18th, and they’ve been kind enough to send out a track to give people a listen.  At first, I thought I heard hints of TV on the Radio, but in the middle, the song erupts into a joyous akin to Local Natives, especially with the percussive presence.  However, they seem to have re-imagined that sound, giving something a wee bit different, then softly flowing back into the atmospheric construction that began the song.  If you can’t find a genre to throw at these guys, probably should just stick with the fact that they’re just plain good.

New Slow Burner from RACES

Leave a comment

The LA based group, RACES (formerly Black Jesus) have just signed on with Frenchkiss Records, who will be releasing the band’s debut LP this fall.  In preparation for the ride to their debut, the band have just released a single that should probably win you over pretty quickly.  There’s somewhat of a distance at the opening of the track, but as the vocals enter with the thick bass line, you find yourself being sucked into the dense sound of the “Big Broom.”  Accompaniment of female vocals add a nice softness to the track, leaving you with sort of a sleepy feeling.  Should be an interesting collection of tunes.

New Music from Sundress

Leave a comment

Our good friends over at Austin’s Paperthin Media sent over this gem of an EP this week, and we see that the word is quickly spreading about Sundress.  The Denton quintet are releasing their EP on August 16th, and it should only brighten the star of press for the band.  On this single you’ll hear squalling guitars and a quieted vocal that rests just on the crest of the compositions.  At times, your ears will hear a shift in levels, with the traditional rise and fall of your every day dream pop.  I can’t wait to hear how their sound blossom and grows in the coming years, as this seems like a good musical investment for us all.

New Song from Big Troubles

Leave a comment

I had heard about the signing of Big Troubles while stalking Slumberland Records (as you can see I’ve been doing today!).  I’d been keeping my eye on these kids since their debut, Worry, came out, so I’m excited to see that September 27th we can celebrate the arrival of Romantic Comedy.  Clearly, there’s a bit of youthfulness going on with this band, which enables them to sort of take dead aim at crafting pop gems with earnest, without having to endure backlash about who or what they were influenced by during the writing process. Smoky vocals placed lightly atop sharp bending guitar lines make this worthy of repeated listens.
