New Music from Balkans

January 18, 2011 nathan.lankford Leave a comment

Perhaps I’ve already explained my excitement about 2011, primarily based on the fact that I’ve been hearing a lot of really exciting guitar-based bands kicking out the jams. Yes, I know they’re have been some in the past, but it seems that we’ve spent a lot of time on electronica lately, so I’m pleased to introduce you to Balkans, an Atlanta four-piece. They’ve got a great new 7″ coming our way on Double Phantom Records on Februrary 22nd, and the A-side is ridiculously solid. It has a bit of that garage affectation, yet there’s more of a driving rhythm that steers it more towards a nice dirty pop bent. Just give it a go, and I’m sure you’ll be pleased.

More New Music From Starfucker

January 17, 2011 RayRay Leave a comment

As previously reported, indie dance makers Starfucker recently released a 7″ single with the catchy tune “Julius” as the A-side. Well now the boys are prepping for a full on album of new material entitled Reptilians for a release on March 8th via Polyvinyl Records. Prior to that release date, opening track to the album “Born” has just been made available as a free download. This one isn’t quite as catchy as the dance track “Julius”, but it is a nice opening number for the upcoming album. (via MOKB)

The mysterious indie supergroup known as Mister Heavenly finally have some recorded music to share with us blogging geeks. Our first taste of the new band comes in the form of “Pineapple Girl” and doesn’t fail to deliver on the hype built by the group. It’s a catchy tune that’s already getting some heavy spins here in the ATH office. You can also check out the second new song “Mister Heavenly” over on Sub Pop. A debut LP is said to be out sometime this spring.

Free Album From The Soft Collapse

January 13, 2011 RayRay Leave a comment

Brooklyn song writer Ryan Montgomery has been recording and playing shows in the Lower East Side for quite some time and now has a new project going by the name The Soft Collapse. The simplistic indie folk style band has a free album, Little Songs, available for download on their bandcamp page. Most of the songs on this LP feature heartfelt and honest lyrics about long lost love over the faint sound of a guitar strum along with soothing drum beats. I’m sure most anyone listening to these tunes will find themselves relating to the experiences laid out in the song writing of Montgomery. Check out a sample of the band’s sound below with “Easy”.

New Music from Trail of Dead

January 13, 2011 nathan.lankford Leave a comment

Like them or hate them, Trail of the Dead have been one of the premier Austin bands for over a decade. They destroyed stages and clubs, and then they mellowed out a little bit, which perhaps lost a bit of love for the band. Still, as we prepare for their new record, Tao of the Dead, we’re really excited to have some new tracks, or a new track (courtesy of RCRDLBL) to put out. It starts off with Conrad being, well, Conrad, all soft and gentle. Then, the song sort of explodes into a bombastic affair, and one that recalls the band’s angrier days. All the same, Trail of the Dead will always be a band to talk about, so we had to throw in our two cents.

Can we claim Sam of Iron and Wine as an Austinite yet? I mean, he’s still living on the outskirts of town, right? Well, we know you’re excited as can be for his newest release Kiss Each Other Clean, which hits the streets on January 25th. While we’ve had some of the singles hit the Internet, you can now listen to three of the new songs done for today’s Daytrotter session. You’ll probably be just as excited, if not more so, for this record once you give it all a listen. And hey, sign up with the site, and it’s all free, so it can’t hurt to get yourself a nice taste of new Iron and Wine.

New Music From Noah & The Whale

January 12, 2011 RayRay Leave a comment

Those English kids known as Noah & The Whale have a new album entitled Last Night on Earth dropping on March 11th. Prior to that release date we’ve got new Tom Petty sounding single “L.I.F.E.G.O.E.S.O.N” below for your listening pleasure. I think I’m digging this new Americana style the guys are going in. Brits labeled as Americana!? Crazy I tell you! You can also hear new song “Wild Thing” on the band’s website.

New Track from Obits

January 12, 2011 nathan.lankford Leave a comment

For me, 2011 is looking really exciting. It seems like the guys with guitars are taking aim at the rest of us, and really letting loose. Yet another release I’m excited for comes from Obits, who will be releasing their new record, Moody, Standard and Poor via Sub Pop on March 29th. My favorite reason to get super excited here is that singer/guitarist Rick Froberg used to jam in Drive Like Jehu and Hot Snakes. Much like those two groups, Obits always seem on the verge of kicking you in the face via heavy percussion and sharp-edged guitars, but as age has taught them some restraint, they’ve honed their chops just enough to keep it all cohesive. One listen to the drums here, though not necessarily experimental, more just pounding, and you’ll probably be tapping your feet at your desk. We’re cool with that.

New Music from The Forms

January 11, 2011 nathan.lankford Leave a comment

If you haven’t caught onto this by now, you definitely should. The Forms are finally returning this year with Derealization, set to be released in February as a Double LP, which will include their first album, Icarus. It’s got some pretty sweet guest spots, including one Matt Berninger. Personally, it’s really striking to hear how different, yet familiar, his voice sounds on this track. I’m not sure if it’s the recording or what, but I know that it seems a bit rougher–I toally dig it. Just add this to the string of hits coming your way in February. Sure, it’s only six songs, but you buy it on vinyl, and it’ll be well-worth it. And expect to see the band in Austin around SXSW.
