This is fine.
From now until midnight on Saturday you can download the entire self-titled album from Timber Timbre for free. This critically acclaimed 3rd album from the band is made available by Canadian super label Arts & Crafts. Check it out here. It’s perfect for a rainy day.

We first caught wind of Dominant Legs by way of Stereogum a few weeks back. Any allusion to Belle and Sebastian will catch my eye! Still, this new tune isn’t quite the twee pop one expected, but it’s more summery, as if there is a lighter air to the crafty writing here. You decide.

More new local music continues to churn out this week with a track from Chris Simpson and his band Zookeeper. This new track “Mary of the Morning” will appear on an upcoming album due out in 2010. Thanks to Austin Sound for the heads up on this.

Who ever said you can’t celebrate Halloween early? The fine folks at Cherry Peel and Flip Scene think you can and that’s exactly what they’ll be doing at Mohawk on Wednesday night. You can expect music from Black and White Years, Bright Light Social Hour, Learning Secrets DJs, Markus with a K, L.A.X, and Neiliyo. Also make sure you wear a costume so you’ll be a part of the costume contest with some sick prizes. A lot more info can be found on that sweet flier or over on do512.

We love the free MP3s and this sampler from Hardly Art on Amazon is loaded with 15 songs from bands on the indie label. You’ll see a few unreleased demos and live tracks from ATH favorites Dutchess & The Duke, Le Loup, Pretty & Nice and others on Hardly Art. Check it out.

At this point you may have seen/listened to the youtube video with the first single from supergroup Them Crooked Vultures that hit the net yesterday. You people know ATH is digging it so here’s an MP3 of that track for your downloading pleasure. It’s pretty loud and straight up rock n roll. The self-titled debut album from the band will be available Nov 17th.

Judging by the look of this picture, you would think that New Zealand band The Bats might be just a touch to old to bring sweet tunes to your ears, but rest assured, they don’t have a 25 year old history for nothing. Just like The Clean, they still have what it takes to spin phenomenal gems out of thin air, ones that inevitably get stuck in your head. Try this one on for size. If you dig it, you can find it on the 7″ over at Slumberland Records.

A while back we brought you the sweet tunes of Surf City fresh off releasing their first EP, but now the group has more new tunes in the works, and we’re glad to bring you the new tune. While it takes “Autumn” a few second to wind up, the band let loose once the song gets going, bringing us more than we expected. Guess we’ll have to wait until 2010 to get more great tunes such as this.

It’s hard knowing who to follow in this group, as the members of Field Music also represent School of Language and The Weeks that Was. So, when news came that Field Music had new tunes to offer up on their web site, of course we jumped at the chance to get our hands on these songs. You can do it yourself by heading to the band’s web site, or just borrow one from us.
