This is fine.
Another day, another interesting band from Brooklyn. So here we have Golden Triangle who are set to release their debut LP Double Jointer on March 2nd via Hardly Art. If this new single “Neon Noose” is your first exposure to the band, let us know what you think. We’re gettin’ kinda in to it.

Earlier today Shearwater dropped this new track “Black Eyes” from their upcoming LP The Golden Archipelago. This is prior to the slated February 23rd release on Matador Records. We also just received a promo copy of the new album in our inbox today and this thing is an epic adventure to say the least. I suggest picking up a copy when physical copies are available.

Icelandic outfit Seabear are prepping a new album for release in March on Morr music. The new LP will be called We Built a Fire and features this new single “Lion Face Boy”. It features the soft style folk sound we’ve gotten used to after the band’s debut LP in ’07. Enjoy.

Local boys The Rocketboys were on Daytrotter over the weekend and we wanted to give you the heads up about this underrated Austin band. The guys play 4 songs including “Take it From Me” found below. Not bad, not bad at all.

Our friends over at GvsB alerted us to a new tune that will be coming out on JJ‘s new album JJ n° 3, which hits stores March 9th via Secretly Canadian. Based on the adoration by all the blogs last year, this should be an album you’ll want to check out. I can’t help but feel as if the harmonica changes their dynamic on this tune, but in a good way, I assure you. Grab a listen.

UK band Good Shoes got a lot of great press after the release of their last album, but they’re ready to make huge waves with their newest record No Hope, No Future, which comes out on January 25th. The rhythmic bounce in this song makes it perfect for a Friday tune; it reminds us a lot of our favorite UK band the Mystery Jets. Maybe they’ll both hit the U.S. together! We can only hope, but for now, let your feet tap! Or head to their site for a preview of 4 songs off the new album.

It’s been a long time since I’ve really visited the music of Omaha, but now that I’ve heard Thunder Power, it’s time to revisit the great scene in that town. Thunder Power is releasing a new split EP titled Hearts Intersect, which will hit stores March 2nd. Take a listen to the track, and see if you can get back in the swing of that old Omaha sound.

We’ve long made it known that we are big fans of Eef Barzelay and his indie rock outfit Clem Snide. After a so-so release last year with Hungry Bird, the band is already back in 2010 with a new LP entitled The Meat of Life. A few songs from the new album, including “Denise” found below, have been turning up on the interwebs over the last few days as well. This first preview we’re bringing you shows promise of a more upbeat and poppy album as opposed to the slow burner from last year. You can also stream the album in it’s entirety over on the 429 Records website prior to its February 23rd release date. Nice.

San Marcos finest, This Will Destroy You, are coming to the ATX at Emo’s on Friday night. The lineup rounds out nicely with Lymbyc System, Sleep Whale and Loxsly. Should be a great night with some talented bands.

You know if you’ve been following our site that we loved the Blood Brothers, then moved on to loving Jaguar Love. Now we’ve got another family relative of Blood Brothers, this time from former lead singer Jordan. His new group Past Lives isn’t quite in the same world as his former band, though their first single “Hex Takes Hold” did have some of the vocal memories. This new one, however, slowly trods along, almost as if they are playing with some slo-core stylings. You be the judge. And if you like it, grab Tapestry of Webs on February 23rd.
