New Music from Eux Autres

Leave a comment

With news that a new record from Eux Autres would be hitting this September, you’d expect to find a bit more press about the band’s latest single, “Go Dancing.”  It’s got a fuzzy little bass line and some vocals that recall recent works by Best Coast, just a lit more straightforward.  The entire album is full of hits that go between a bit of angular pop and downright blistering ditties.  Said album, Broken Bow, is slated to come out on November 23rd, so you only have to wait a few more weeks until you can get your hands on this gem of an album; I promise it won’t let you down in the least bit.  It doesn’t hurt that Jason from Papercuts recorded it either!

New Tunes from Roman Photos

Leave a comment

Atlanta seems to have a lot of unnoticed talent, and that being the case, I was fortunate enough to find an email including some sweet bedroom dance tunes from Roman Photos, who have a killer design aesthetic to go with their killer tuneage.  They’ve got a few 7″s coming out in the next few months, one on Double Phantom Records.  The track hear has some soft vocal traits, but don’t think of this as some sort of downtrodden affair; there’s an underlying beauty incorporated beneath layers of synth haze.  If you’re into the band, you can also head to the band’s BANDCAMP, and hook yourself up with a free digital Into the Night EP of more tasty treats. Keep your eyes on this prize in the coming months.

More New Music From Telekinesis

Leave a comment

Shortly after dropping a new EP at the end of summer and losing most his band, Michael Lerner is returning with a new Telekinesis album in 2011.  The new LP, 12 Desperate Straight Lines, is set for release on February 15th via the ever growing Merge Records label.  Prior to that date, you can check out new straight up pop track “Car Crash” below.  I know many of us around here in the ATH offices, and out there in the interwebs world, have been eagerly awaiting a follow up to the stunning Telekinesis debut album from 2009.

New Tunes from Cloud Nothings

Leave a comment

After re-issuing some work earlier this year, Cloud Nothings are prepping us all for the release of their new record on January 25th, which is going to be self-titled.  We know the single came out earlier this week, but we had to give you a taste.  It’s pretty noisy and boisterous, until you find the hook lying deep beneath the chorus.   If anything, the song only grows with power and accessibilty as it goes along.  Look for the record in 2011 on Carpark.

San Diego band Tristeza have been around longer than most people seem to remember and have a massive catalog of music at this point.  Adding to their huge discography, the mostly instrumental rock band will release new album Paisajes on November 30th via Darla physically and Better Looking Records digitally.  Below you’ll find yourself new track from the band “Newbury” for your enjoyment.  (via)

Austin A2W: Galapaghost

Leave a comment

Seems like it’s been forever since we ran an Austin Artist to Watch post right?  Maybe.  Our most recent addition to ATH faves will now have to includes Austin’s very own Galapaghost.  The band is basically a one man show of recent Woodstock, NY transplant Casey Chandler.  Since graduating from SUNY Purchase in NY only a short year and a half or so ago, Chandler has already written, produced and recorded 3 EPs on his own.  I’ve had a chance to check out all three extended players and have to say that his most recent work Runnin’ has to be the man’s best effort to date.  Featured inside that EP you’ll find 7 songs built mostly around Chandler’s trusted ukulele intertwined with some soft vocal harmonies and the occasional bass drum kick.  The title track from said EP can be found below which is easily the catchiest number from Chandler and also my own personal favorite.  Galapaghost is for fans of the subtle folk pop intensity of Horse Feathers, Sun Kil Moon, or even Great Lake Swimmers.

New Tunes from Spokes

Leave a comment

I’ve always got to follow the happenings in Manchester, but that’s mostly due to my adoration for MUFC, but here I have another chance to rejoice, as I’ve just run across up-and-comer Spokes.  They’re releasing their new album Everyone I Ever Met on Counter Records next February, and it’s full of these grandiose ideas of combining all sorts of musical elements, including folk, shoegaze, etc. Those into the sound of Local Natives might notice a similar swelling of up multiple melodic voices, but let’s not call them imitators.  One listen here and you’ll realize that such lofty combinations can be successful, and when they work like this, we’ve all got reasons to rejoice.

New Shearwater Album “Enron”

Leave a comment

Austin’s very own Shearwater have just put up a new album for sale on their Band Camp site entitled Enron.  The album is all instrumental and focuses on the “experimental” side of the band.  Let’s just say you’ll probably want to have a listen to a few songs before you spend any money on this thing… Shearwater is also currently on a long tour of the east coast with Damien Jurado, so watch out New England kids!

New Music from The Parties

Leave a comment

It should be no surprise that The Parties hail from San Francisco.  They’ve got that psychedelic pop sound, with those angular guitars that seem to emit the sunshine of California.  Their new album Coast Garde is just now hitting the streets, and if you’re just looking for something with a classic pop spin, then you’ve come to the right place.  The entire album is full of non-chalant pop goodness, sure to keep your toes tapping, though not too forcefully.  Enjoy a little sunshine today folks.
