New Music from Veronica Falls

One comment

It seems like Slumberland Records is intent on signing all the great bands in the world; I expect a Celebrity Death Match between them and Captured Tracks soon.  They just announced today that they’ll be releasing the debut record from Veronica Falls on September 20th.  The label has even been kind enough to offer up a free download of “Come On Over” for every one to sample.  This track sort of begins with a trickle, jangling guitars and all, but then it jumps off with banging drums and faster guitars.  Female vocals soon enter to provide a dream-state that will accompany listeners through the rest of the song.  It’s a pretty promising single, so let’s all get excited about Veronica Falls.

New Song from John Wesley Coleman

Leave a comment

Maybe this is old news, as in yesterday’s news, but I can’t help it. I’ve been a huge fan of John Wesley Coleman for some time, and at this point, it doesn’t seem like he can do anything wrong.  Word is being spread that he’s doing a split 7″ which will feature a Gary Stewart song, and a reinterpretation of said song–the 7″ comes out on July 26th Sophomore Lounge Records.  True, JWC might not have that honky-tonk feel some associate with Stewart’s music, but there’s that same sense of desperation and pain in his voice, and that’s always going to grab me by the ears.

More New Music From Fair Ohs

The last time I shared some music from pop hit makers Fair Ohs, I told you that I’d be looking out for more summertime music from them.  Well here we are as promised with new summer haze song “Baldessari”.  As previously mentioned, this track will appear on the upcoming new album Everything is Dancing due out July 26th on Lefse Records.  This album is sure to be one of my anthems for summer fun in the sun.

New Album from Arc in Round

Leave a comment

Philadelphia’s Arc in Round have just released a new digital album, II, on their BANDCAMP page, and though it’s short with only five songs, I’ve been playing it all morning long. It’s definitely going to fall in the vein of dream-pop, but the execution of the finished product is what is so rewarding.  Washed vocals, bright guitar/string moments all lead you into a sonic haven where you can sit absorbed in your own thoughts.  My favorite track of the five is “Time Spent,” and you can listen down below for a preview.  Currently, the band are offering up II for a name your own price deal, but be sure to support the band, as good music always deserves our support.  Don’t forget to go back and give their great back catalog a listen while you’re at it.

New Tunes from Grass Widow

Leave a comment

There’s few people in the blogosphere I truly trust, so I’m always happy when Toby over at Finest Kiss gets a chance to sort through his emails and get me hip to things I might have glanced over.  He’s run a bunch of singles today, and my favorite of the batch has to be this new track from Grass Widow.  The San Fran trio has self-released a new 7″ with this track Milo Minute.  There’s definitely a post-punk pogo to the track, but the harmonies between the ladies provide allow the song to transcend your typical rehash of styles.  I get the feeling that this will be spinning around here all week.  You can get your copy HERE, which features two covers as the B-Side (Wire and Neo Boys).

New Jam From Little Deadman

Leave a comment

Catchy rock n roll tunes are what you’ll get from relatively new San Diego based band Little Deadman.  Often times the band draws comparisons to White Denim or a poppier version of The Black Angels.  This new song “Post Helado Madness” exhibits both of those sounds to create a little rocking ditty that’s sure to get your swagger going.  For now, the band only offers this song as a single in preparation for a new LP due out sometime in early 2012.  Rock.

New Music From No Yes No

Leave a comment

Here’s a little driving rock song I’ve been enjoying recently from new find No Yes No.  The band, hailing from Brooklyn (duh), are using this song “Youngins” to promote their brand new EP which is available for stream and purchase on their bandcamp page.  I was quickly drawn to the sort of Joy Division new age sound created by this tune and hope you kids like it too.

New Music From Dan Mangan

Here’s a sweet new tune from folk songwriter Dan Mangan called “Oh Fortune” that we’ve been enjoying today.  The song is set to appear on a new album of the same name due out September 27th on Arts & Crafts.  For now we can only offer you a stream of the song, but an MP3 can be found over on the Dan Mangan site.  The guys really is an incredible songwriter.

New Music from Big Wave Riders

Leave a comment

Apparently it’s going to be sort of a Scandinavian type day in my house, as I’ve just gotten another gem from the region via Finland’s Big Wave Riders.  The band is prepping their digi-EP for new label, Soliti Music, which will also be home to the new work from Cats on Fire.  They posted a great track to their last.fm page, and I just fell in love.  It begins with sort of a washed out guitar vibe, one that you’d expect from a California beach group, but then the pace picks up, and it turns into momentary dance-pop, and returns once again to the beautiful wash.  This is definitely something new and exciting from a great prospect for 2011.

New Pop Hit from Oh No! Yoko

Leave a comment

The great part of being involved in little music communities outside the blogosphere is that you always discover fun little gems that you mightn’t have found otherwise. That’s where I discovered this fun little track from Vancouver group, Oh No! Yoko. They just released a nice little album full of similarly fun tunes titled Pau Pau, so if you dig what’s going on below, it’s worth taking a hard look at.  For me, I kind of get the feeling of Passion Pit or Harlem Shakes, but I think a lot of that has to do with a serious vocal link.  So sit back, take it in, and enjoy yourselves.
