New Tunes from David Vandervelde

vander-picIt’s been awhile since we heard anything from David Vandervelde, but now that there is wind of a new recording, we couldn’t be more excited.  We loved Waiting for the Sunrise, so we expect more great things from David this time around.  Secretly Canadian has put up a digital download of a couple new tracks, and we’ve got one of those to tide you over before you get your hands on it yourself.  Expect his next record to be nothing short of sublime.

The Constantines on Daytrotter

constantinesVancouver’s The Constantines have long been one of my favorite bands (I love their post-punk ways), and I always felt like no on gave them enough appreciation.  Luckily, Daytrotter has done me a favor; they put the band up with an unreleased track to boot!  The rest of the songs come from the group’s most recent effort Kensington Heights.  Check it.

New Tunes from Ted Leo

57540037AJ001_Breaking_the_Everyone’s all over this album lately, especially with the release of the second web single for Ted Leo.  As we prepare for his new album, The Brutalist Bricks, we’ve got a few thoughts to share.  Writer RayRay says it’s his favorite album of the year so far.  Personally, after years of adoring Ted, I think this is finally the album that combines his traditional pub rock leanings with his energetic stage presence.  It’s everything you always wanted a Ted Leo record to be, and you, too, can get your hands on it March 9th via Matador Records. So here’s that new tune, the album’s opening track “The Mighty Sparrow.”

New Tunes from The Light Footwork

TLFsummer07-1thumbCalifornia’s The Light Footwork first caught my eye a few years back when I stumbled upon them via a blog I no longer remember.  They’re set to release their new album, National Historic Landmarks.  This new tune features trade-offs between the male/female vocal parts, and the song definitely has an oddball sense of storytelling.  It’s a nice little afternoon number.
