More Sweet Tunes from Ski Lodge

Leave a comment

Ski LodgeSki Lodge seems to be riding the waves of praise from all over the place.  First, they had the Internet buzz, then our friends Literature gave them the stamp of approval and we, of course, gave them our love after catching them over at Holy Mountain a few weeks back. They’ve finally locked down a firm date for the release of their album, Big Heart; it’s coming your way on August 20th via Dovecote Records.  And, in honor of the announcement, they’re streaming another new track with it’s warm indie pop melodies and spirited guitar playing.

Post Punk Jamz from The Mallard

Leave a comment

themallardMan, the music scene in San Francisco must be pretty hopping, not that it ever really died down.  We just got this new track from The Mallard, which are one of the newer bands to start making waves from the Bay Area, and I’m completely stoked.  This tune has a stuttering guitar/drum line that seems to run through its entirety, while the vocal seems to match that with an off-beat marching delivery.  The group will be releasing their album, Finding Meaning in Deference on July 29th via Castle Face Records. I think you’re all going to dig this one.

More New Tunes from Alphabetical Order Orchestra

Leave a comment

alphabetical-order-orchestraNot too long ago we brought you a tune from Alphabetical Order Orchestra, the band who has sprung out of the hiatus of My Latest Novel.  That tune offered a glimpse of the band’s blend between folk and pop, but this new tune is much more simple, though equally as beautiful.  There’s light bits of percussion, though the song revolves around the acoustic guitar strumming and the vocal delivery.  But, just as you think the whole tune will remain on one level, the drums begin to bang, backing vocals unite, all before the song settles back down quietly.  No word yet on an official release, but we’ll keep you posted.

Voltage Black Bring Electronic Experimentation

Leave a comment

600646_485502271514711_1647075311_nElectronica is clearly not my expertise and it’s rare that I find much worth repeat listens in the genre.  Nothing against those devoted to the style, it’s just not really my bag.  Well this track “Get Your Iron Aligned” from London based group Voltage Back is a song I’ve found myself putting on repeat several times in a row this morning.  It sort of takes you on an interesting wave of emotions throughout the lengthy six and a half minutes.  You start off with what could be a dance hall jam, then move into a more chill and mellow feel, before the major buildup towards the end for the last minute or so.  Well done gents.  Stay tuned for more from these guys.

New Music From Black Joe Lewis

One comment

blackjoelewisI can already see the look on your face when you press play on this new Black Joe Lewis track.  You’re confused, reading the artist name again, and scratching your head as to how this could be the same Black Joe we all know and love.  I’m right there with you, but I also said to myself, yeah this is sort of badass.  Everyone is entitled to change their sound and I see this as being a very positive thing for the group.  You can only get so far in this town continuing to play bluesy/gospel style music.  I’m with you Joe.  That bass line is just downright disgusting.

New album Electric Slave is due out August 13th on Vagrant Records.  Per the album title, I’d say be ready for some loud, in your face rock music.

Fresh New Music from Jeremy Jay

Leave a comment

JeremyJayLondonTreesEver since he released the Airwalker EP and  A Place Where We Could Go I’ve been an adamant fan of Jeremy Jay and his music.  But, he’s been quiet as of late, waiting almost two full years since his last release to put together a new album.  According to an email, part of that seems to be that he’s been searching for the absolute perfect place to record his music.  Our first taste of new music from Jeremy already seems destined for greatness, with an old 80s warehouse sound and Jay’s cool vocal delivery.  His new record should come our way later this year via K Records, with a single slated for release prior to that date; for now, he’s graciously sent us this incredible tune to share with you all. Do yourself a favor if you’re new to Jeremy, and go revisit his entire catalogue. It’ll be a day well spent.
