New Music from Champagne Riot

February 3, 2011 nathan.lankford Leave a comment

If you know me, you probably know that I think Matinee Recordings is one of the top 2 indie labels (the other being Captured Tracks), and they’ve got me excited all over again. They’ve just put out the newest work from Champagne Riot, which features the bassists of neat-pop group Northern Portrait. The four song collection is titled the Moonstruck EP. The lead track “Moonstruck” definitely has more of an electric feel than a great deal of the work on Matinee, but what’s present, as a label standard it seems, is infectious hooks and melodies, making you want to go back and spin the song over and over. I guess there’s nothing wrong with that, or this great duo.

New Music From Low

February 3, 2011 RayRay Leave a comment

Indie veteran band Low are ready to release their first new album of new material since their underrated effort from 2007 Drums and Guns. The band’s new album is entitled C’Mon and features this new single “Try to Sleep”. It’s of course a slow burner from the group that helped invent the term “slow burner”. You can pick up a copy of the new record on April 12th via the always bad ass Sub Pop Records.

New Music From Wrong Words

February 2, 2011 RayRay Leave a comment

I was sent this new song “Summer’s Gone” from San Francisco based outfit The Wrong Words yesterday and have been playing it on repeat ever since. It’s a pretty simple song, but oh so catchy in all it’s pop goodness. The tune is set to appear on the band’s self-titled debut LP out March 22nd on Trouble in Mind Records.

New Track from BNLX

February 2, 2011 nathan.lankford Leave a comment

BNLX is a band out of Minneapolis who have been making some pretty solid waves. The duo is made up of a husband and wife set, all who’ve been playing music for some time in their respective scenes. I’ve been digging the driving guitar sound, and the way you can almost feel a hook creeping out from behind, but it never succeeds, hiding behind bits of feedback. It’s pretty straightforward, and in that fashion, it just hits you in the face from the get go, providing a solid rhythm and yet another spin on the traditional guy/girl duo. Give this track a nice try.

New Song from Sugar & Gold

February 1, 2011 nathan.lankford One comment

I know, I know, I’ve been claiming this year for guitar-oriented rock, as opposed to dance-influenced stuff, but I just can’t get this song out of my head at the moment, so I thought I’d send it your way. Sugar & Gold are from San Francisco, and they’ll be offering up their Bodyaches EP on March 8th. Listening to this track, it’s part Twin Shadow and part Chromeo. I know, that seems like an odd mixture, and one that might not necessarily work, but there’s just this infectious little groove kicking around that makes me tap my toe. I’ll admit, sometimes you just want to tap your toes.

New Music from Fleet Foxes

January 31, 2011 nathan.lankford One comment

Remember Fleet Foxes? Yeah, it has been some time hasn’t it? Today news broke that there has been official release date for their latest album, Helplessness Blues. Once again, Sub Pop will be releasing the record, hitting the street on May 3rd. Personally, I’m stoked that they worked with Phil Ek again, producing and mixing, as he’s one of my favorites behind the board. When first listening to this track, I kind of saw a bit faster pacing, at least in regards to the strumming, but as the song begins to trickle towards the end, you can see the band go off into that whispy winter quality that made their debut so lovable. We know everyone will be talking about this one all day.

New Music From Banjo Or Freakout

This new tune from London based band Banjo or Freakout has really sparked our interest in songwriter Alessio Natalizia and the music he’s creating. You people who like this new song can pick up the debut self-titled album from Natalizia on February 22nd via Rare Book Room Records. I can’t wait to hear what else we’ve got in store from this guy.
