Let’s start Friday off with a catchy little tune from one of our favorite Austin acts, Brother Sports; you’ve gotta keep it local in times like these, rights? Musically, you’ll find the band offering up a nice blend between the Growlers and the Strokes; it’s all about the sharp stab of the guitar lines to really drive the song’s energy forwards. You’ll find that surfy semi-growl in the vocals, holding tight to some garage rock tendencies while still offering up a healthy dose of pop sensibility. I feel like we all could use some solid distractions in our life, so why not start today with a tune titled “Distractions!”

New Track from Distractions

January 20, 2011 nathan.lankford Leave a comment

After listening to “All Night” by Distractions, I couldn’t wait for their album, Dark Green Sea, to finally hit stores. It came out yesterday, but it was only released to a limited pressing of 500, so you better head over to them quick if you like what you hear. They’ve recently let loose another of the singles from the album, and while it maintains the same sonic spectrum of the previously mentioned single, it’s got a lot more darkness to it. Perhaps this revolves around the deeper octaves of the vocals, but it could also be that the pacing of the track is a bit slower, leaving you time to contemplate your steps in time with the beat. Give this a try, and hopefully we’ll see the album released on a larger scale.
