New Music from Clinic

One comment

Once you get beyond the fact that Clinic gained a lot of popularity for donning surgeon masks during their shows, you’ll also discover that the band has a remarkable discography.  It’s a collection of work that shows a fondness for pop of the past, but mixed in with a sense of musical adventure, along with their willingness to push boundaries.  The group has a new addition to the discography titled Bubblegum, which will hit stores on October 5th via Domino.  Expect something special, as per usual.

Other People’s Songs

Other People’s Songs is a short side recording project between ATH favorites Damien Jurado and Richard Swift.  The project was completed over a short weekend and features 9 cover songs.  All songs are available as a free stream and/or download.  I’d recommend checking out this brief project and enjoying the sweet jams.  Below you can check out “Hellow Sunshine” originally by the Relatively Clean Rivers.

New Music From Silje Nes

Leave a comment

Silje Nes, for those who don’t know, is an incredible singer songwriter hailing from the land of the Norwegians.  Her debut LP, Ames Room, received considerable praise when it was released in 2008 and created a small buzz for the talented musician.  In 2010 a new release entitled Opticks is planned for a street date on October 12th via Fat Cat Records.  Below you can find new slow burning single “Grass Harp” for your listening pleasure.  Give it a few spins and I bet you’ll be on board with Silje Nes.

New Tunes from Telekinesis

Telekinesis just released a new EP yesterday, and I just had to pick it up.  The Parallel Seismic Conspiracies EP has a few new tracks from Mr. Lerner, as well as a few covers of Guided by Voices.  You can order the EP over at Merge Records, or grab it from the band while they’re on tour with SSLYBY.  Give it a go.

New Tunes from Restless People

Leave a comment

I first heard about Restless People because I’ve been following the spin-offs of Professor Murder, mostly because my old lady really digs that band.  The band released a single today, “Don’t Back Down,” (via P4K).  While it does have a whole lot of electronic touches, which I’m trying to ween myself off of this year, you can still find some knifing vocals, a la the Drums, but with a little less surf to them.  Okay, so its sort of just a trendy little dance number, but damn if it ain’t catchy.  You’ll find it on the band’s self-titled debut, which hits the streets on September 14th.

New Music From We Landed On The Moon!

It has been quite some time since we last posted on Baton Rouge quintet We Landed on the Moon! Not much has been heard of the group since we mentioned them over a year and a half ago.  Now the band is about to release a new album entitled This Will be One for the Books on October 12th.  Prior to that date, the band has 4 tracks from the new album streaming on their website.  Below you’ll find one of those songs called “Across the Sun”.

Titus Andronicus @ Emo’s (9/1)

Well ladies and gentleman summer has come to a close and we suggest the best way to celebrate/mourn would be to heal your wounds with some solid rock music.  We think the best way to do that is to head to Emo’s on Wednesday night for indie-rock n roll band Titus Andronicus.  Joining the band on stage are two solid locals Yellow Fever and Whitman.  Also don’t forget that The Strange Boys will be getting down on the inside stage!  All in all, this show should rock from start to finish and your face will be left on the floor.
