New Music From Efterklang

February 2, 2010 RayRay Leave a comment

We were introduced to the greatness known as Efterklang during SXSW last year, and we’ve been following the band ever since. Previously only available in video form as of a few days ago, this new song “Modern Drift” now has an MP3 available for downloading. The track will appear on the band’s upcoming album Magic Chairs due out Feb. 22nd on 4AD. I’m honestly enjoying this track probably more than anything else that has come out so far this year. Let’s hope the rest of the album delivers as well.

New Tunes from Nick Curran

February 1, 2010 nathan.lankford Leave a comment

I can’t help but sort of fall in love with Nick Curran, in a musical sort of way. The guy mixes classic punk sounds with the romance of Motown, and since I’m an avid fan of both, this is the perfect thing for me. Nick’s an Austinite, and he has a new record coming out on February 16 titled Reform School Girl. Unfortunately, he’s been sidelined with tongue cancer, so if you’re in Austin, or just a fan of good tunes, you should keep him in your thoughts. Get well soon Nick…and here’s his title track.

The beautiful Holly Miranda is prepping her new album The Magician’s Private Library due out Feb. 23rd via XL Recordings. Below we’ve got a chance for you to check out first single “Waves” from the upcoming album. Holly is another one of those ladies with a voice that I find irresistible.

Black Tambourine Anthology Coming Soon!

February 1, 2010 nathan.lankford Leave a comment

If you haven’t gotten to know Black Tambourine, as very few did, then you’re lucky this time around, as Slumberland Records (the one who brought you lots of goodies like Pains of Being Pure at Heart) will be releasing an anthology of the band on March 30th. BTambourine only existed for a few short years, but this new anthology will have four new songs (two originals, two covers) for your ears. Just another thing to be excited about in 2010.

So the owners of Urban Outfitters may not like gay people, but they do have decent tastes in music, at least the people who run their promotions do. So we caught ourselves a free sampler from Urban that has tons of great artists on it like Field Music and Local Natives. Get your hands on the free sampler HERE.

Entroducing Electric Pop Group

January 29, 2010 nathan.lankford Leave a comment

It’s really difficult to turn away from Matinee Recordings (seriously, go to their page to browse for goodness) right now. It seems that they just consistently release some of the most infectious pop groups. Electric Pop Group is just another one of these bands, and I haven’t been able to get this band out of my head; I don’t think that I really want to either. Okay, so it has a bit of that jangle pop sound everyone is using, but this track here, “Not By Another,” has really clean production. You’ll find a slight bit of happiness invading your soul as soon as you put this on. Their album Seconds should be hitting our shores soon!

New Tunes from Twin Tigers

January 28, 2010 nathan.lankford Leave a comment

We interviewed Twin Tigers a little bit ago just because we were really excited about the Athens band. Now, their album, Gray Waves, is nearing its official street date of March 2nd. We’ve got another great track to throw your way here, which will hopefully have you just as excited for the release as we are. This tune hits hard, then settles down a bit before it unleashes more fury. Happy Thursday.

Will Johnson Live On Woxy

January 28, 2010 RayRay Leave a comment

Long time ATH favorite Will Johnson had his session with the Woxy crew posted on their blog site a couple days ago. Mr. Johnson plays 4 songs, including this gem “Almost Let You In” from his 2009 effort with Jason Molina. I’ve said it once and I’ll say it again, this guy has one of the best and most unique voices in the business today.

Free Sub Pop Sampler

January 27, 2010 RayRay Leave a comment

Sub Pop is at it again with another free sampler featuring some of their best tunes from last year along with a few previews of upcoming material. You’ll see staples like Beach House, Grand Archives, The Ruby Suns, and tons more. You’ve probably seen a lot of these songs here on our site, but isn’t it easier to get them all in one big zip file? Si! Oh and your favorite 1990s internet graphics are back and ready for some fun!
