Redbud Share Acoustic Version of Summer Moon

Leave a comment

In a little over a week, Austin group Redbud will pack up as a duo and hit up a few shows in New York and Philly (they’ll be joined by friends for full band sets in NYC) during the second week of May. In order to entice folks, and remind everyone about the talents exhibited on their recent Long Night EP, they’ve shared an acoustic version of “Summer Moon” for all to enjoy. The band version of the EP steps the sound up, appropriately, adding these textures that give buoyancy to Katie Claghorn’s songwriting. But, the acoustic version, as you’ll see, has this powerful intimacy, due to both the proximity of the video’s film, but also the gentle strum and Claghorn’s facial expressions; you’re likely to get a similar experience if you catch them life. So, if you’re in the NYC/Philly area the second week of May, stop by. Plus, the group will be moving about Texas the following week!

The Boys with Perpetual Nervousness Share Isolation (ft. Mary Lou Lord)

Leave a comment

One of my favorite pop acts, The Boys with Perpetual Nervousness will be dropping their latest record, The Third Wave Of, next week, so why not seal the promotion cycle with one beautiful touch. Today, the band release a double single, which is an electric and acoustic recording of “Isolation,” which features Mary Lou Lord on vocals. The band are already masters of toasty melodies, then you double down by throwing Lord into the backing vocals (or lead vocals on the acoustic version), and you’re pretty much guaranteed to make pop fans swoon. I’ve got both versions below, but you can only find the acoustic version as a Bandcamp bonus track; the Third Wave Of drops next week via Bobo Integral.

French Shoegaze from An Ocean of Embers

Leave a comment

Not in the too distant past, An Ocean of Embers covered Moose‘s “Last Night I Feel Again” (Reprise 1991), and they’ve finally touched it up and added an acoustic version, as well as instrumentals to craft their own single. I love that you get to hear the acoustic version because it really offers up that soft underbelly that so many folks seem to ignore in favor of guitar noise reverberating through their speakers. The latter half of the original cover gets awfully noisy at the end, building perfectly into the acoustic version should you choose to stream it all. Enjoy!
