Americana Rock From Raccoon Fighter

Leave a comment

65014This new track called “Santa Tereza” from NYC based Raccoon Fighter is surely something that would appeal to you blues rock/Americana fans.  We sometimes stray from the genre, as we rarely find much interesting to share, but this track is most excellent Bill.  I like the almost psych-rock approach to the genre as it meshes with the rootsy rock overall style of the song.

You can expect a new album entitled ZIL on October 1st via Papercup Music.

Throwback Jam From Into It. Over It.

Leave a comment

130807-into-it-over-itFor whatever reason, I’ve found myself being quite nostalgic lately and spinning tracks from the post-punk/emo era like Alkaline Trio, Saves the Day, and the like.  With that said, you can probably see why this new song “Spinning Thread” from Into it. Over it. might be something I’d fall for during my current throwback music mindset.  I immediately hear sonic qualities similar to the bands I just mentioned and that’s doing it for me today.  Beyond that, it’s a great tune with some catchy drums and a near perfect vocal delivery.

Fans can pick up new album Proper on September 24th via Triple Crown Records.

Audacity Bring Us Rowdy Rock

Leave a comment

AudacityBack in March we shared a new track called “Finders Keepers” with you guys from Fullerton based rock group Audacity.  Well today the band are offering up another new song entitled “Hole in the Sky” which can be streamed below.  I’m loving the rowdy punk rock vibe exuded by the song throughout its brief two minutes and forty seconds.  Hopefully you’ll feel some of that power as well.

New album Butter Knife will be available on October 29th via Suicide Squeeze Records.

New Album from Black Hearted Brother

Leave a comment

artworks-000053537338-9n5adl-t500x500I feel like at this point in the year, I’ve probably helped pay most of the salaries of those at Slumberland Records, but hey, when you’re on fire, you’re on fire.  The label is back with a resurgence, of sorts, this time around, releasing the new record from Black Hearted Brother, the project of Neil Halstead…the man behind Slowdive and Mojave 3.  Perhaps one of my favorite things about this new single is that there’s no use of gratuitous noise, like I’ve come to find in a lot of gaze-noise-core acts of late; it’s purposeful and blending with melodies.  Stars Are Our Hope is the title of this new effort, and it will be released on October 22nd.

Playful Pop from How Sad

Leave a comment

how-sad-640What once belonged in the bedroom of its founders is now a full-fledged line-up, garnering lots of praise for Montreal’s How Sad.  Sure, you can sense a bit of those quiet recording touches on their Indian Summer EP, but you can hear exploration and playful touches that help pave the way for what’s been called an ‘unpredictable live” show.  There’s room for playing around on stage, and there’s tons of room for you to enjoy the nuances of good old fashioned synth pop.  The full EP will be released on August 20th, but here’s a sneak peak for your ears.

Spirited New Tune from Kishi Bashi

Leave a comment

kishiIt’s been a whirlwind of a year for Kishi Bashi, who won over so many people with his glorious 151a LP.  But, fans of the artist should be really excited, as he’s readying a brand new 7″, which will serve as the precursor to a new record in the next year. I don’t know how someone can listen to this song and not feel some sort of spiritual upheaval or joyous emotion overtake you; it’s this sort of attitude that has allowed Kishi to become so successful and beloved.  The new 7″ will be very limited, and only made available through Joyful Noise Recordings; it will be available on September 10th.

Lost in Austin: Brazos

Leave a comment

BrazosIt’s been a hot minute since we’ve worked with our friends over at Guerilla Waltz to create one of our Lost in Austin videos.  We typically wait around for the perfect band to fit our mold, and when former local residents Brazos were in town awhile back, it seemed like the right time to get back in the game.  So we sat down with Martin Crane in his studio to perform “Always On” off his new album Saltwater out now on Dead Oceans.  Follow the jump for video.

New Music from Gap Dream

Leave a comment

gapdreamBurger Records has been on a role this year, putting out hits by various bands, namely The Memories.  But, news broke today that they’ll also be releasing the brand new album from Gap Dream, which has me particularly excited.  On the first single you can tell that there’s a definite chilled out approach on this effort, with strong synth work and the vocals of Gabriel Fulvimar taking the main focus. Listening closely, you can hear a rad little guitar line coursing through in the background too! This new record is titled Shine the Light, and it’ll be out on the streets on November 12…and I’ll be picking it up.

Midlake Return With Antiphon

Leave a comment

Trials of Van Occupanther.

Midlake may as well have named that record Lightning in a Bottle. Since then, the band has been middling for me. So here we have a title track from the new record due in early November, “Antiphone” on Antiphon. The boys from Denton are offering up this track for download at their site, for what I assume will be the price of an email adress, but the site is slow, real slow. Guess there is buzz, we’re rooting for you.

Check it out below, let us know what you think.

New Gem from Teen Daze

Leave a comment

Teen Daze released two strong albums last year, The Inner Mansions and personal fave All of Us, Together. Both are chock-full o’ chilly waves of background music for your couch surfing cocktail party that can also hold up to critical listening.

Seems Jamison is staying busy, Glacier is set to release on 10/1 on Lefse Records. Pre-order is available here. No tour dates for Austin yet.
