New Music from Great Lakes

Leave a comment

GreatLakesCOLOR1Winter is here folks, well, musically speaking. It’s that time of year when slow ballads and folk-laden tunes are coming left and right, but perhaps none more enjoyable than this bit from Great Lakes. The center of this song holds true to modern folk/Americana tropes, but the layering of harmonies and various bits of instrumentation adds more depth to the song itself, creating a dense study in the genre for listeners. The Brooklyn (by way of Athens) will be releasing their 5th album next year; Wild Vision is being put out by Loose Truck Records on January 22nd.

New Single From Stone Cold Fox

Leave a comment

SCF-Summer-15-Promo-2118-620x414During the early part of last year, Nathan shared a song with you guys by Brooklyn based group Stone Cold Fox and all of us started paying attention to the group.  Since that time we didn’t hear a whole lot from the band so I was fairly excited when they sent me over this great new song “Contagion”.  I’m calling it a straight up indie rock gem certainly worthy of tons of praise and accolades.  The band has told us to expect a new album sometime in 2016 with this song and surely more hits in store.

Total Makeover will drop their debut EP on August 21st.

Hushed Beauty From Monogold

Leave a comment

monogoldBrooklyn based group Monogold has been know for quite some time as a synth heavy, sort of electronic group full of hooks and dance inducing beats.  As one can immediately hear after pressing play on this new track “Orchard Beach”, the band has clearly taken a fairly drastic left turn with its sonic qualities.  Personally, I’m loving the new subtle, less is more approach to their songwriting.  This single is a much more grown up, mesmerizing, and enchanting approach to things.  Carry on.

Monogold will release Good Heavens on August 21st.

Darker Pop From Cultfever

Leave a comment

11205106_892837817449847_8832821402702695166_nI’ve been rather enjoying this new tune “Youth” by Brooklyn based group Cultfever.  It’s a nice bit of pop music with synth heavy beats, and a dash of darkness to provide some mystery and intrigue to the song.  For now, you can stream the tune for free on soundcloud, but you can purchase it on June 2nd via all major digital outlets.  Happy Monday.

Nice Bit of Pop From Hey Anna

Leave a comment

HeyAnnaPressPhoto_Bandsquare-1-1Brooklyn based pop artist Hey Anna is a band that most of us probably know very little about though I think you’ll be hearing more about them in the very near future.  The group caught my ear yesterday with this promising and delightful new tune “Island”.  Pop sensibilities are going crazy in this track with mesmerizing harmonies from the sister trio who make up the band’s core.  Let’s not forget the guys in the band either as they provide a backing rhythm to drive it all home.

Hey Anna will be dropping their debut LP Run Koko later this summer.  Stay tuned for more deets as we get them.

Rocker From Shark?

Leave a comment

10945857_10152496773606841_1340772088358167219_o (1)It’s been awhile since I last shared with you some new music from Brooklyn based outfit Shark?, so I’m excited to be giving you this new joint today.  This one is called “Hangnail” and is a true rock and roll number displaying some of the finest traits of the genre in one song.  You can almost feel the badass tendencies coming through the vocals and sludgy sounds on the track.

Shark? have a new EP entitled Becky and Debbie due out next week on Old Flame Records.

LSM_LP_Art_hiresYou’re probably tired of hearing about Brooklyn bands, but Life Size Maps seem to be offering something slightly different from your average fare.  The group is crafting pop music of the purest form, utilizing synth hooks and a chorus that will surely find a home in your subconscious.  You’ll tap your toes, you’ll sing along, and you’ll realize that the simplest route is sometimes the best.  Take a ride with these lads, and enjoy your day. Old Flame Records will be releasing the group’s self-titled LP during the first weeks of April.

Kick Friday off with Darlings

darlingIt’s Friday. Those in the ATX, and probably the rest of the world, have been bundled up, so we likely need some energy to get up and go today.  This new track from Darlings seems perfectly fitting, offering a solid guitar line that adds spirit to your day; I personally enjoy the noodling and discordant chords that are picked near the end of the song. Your day’s going to get better, so join us in our first listen to the band’s latest work; it is in preparation for their Feel Better LP, which is coming out on January 20th via Wild Canary Records.
