Cant Stop Playing This Durand Jones Tune

Leave a comment

This year’s ACL featured Durand Jones and the Indications; I tried to hype it up as much as I could…though I still feel like folks missed out. Luckily, one of the tracks they played live, featuring drummer Aaron Frazer on lead vocals, is making it onto their next album, American Love Call. This single’s blown up really quickly, so odds are everyone will be on Durand and the band; I think those of you who like the classic R&B sounds will love this more than any other modern act spinning a similar style. Frazer and Jones play off each other so well in this track that its hard not to be taken aback. You can grab the LP next March via Dead Oceans/Colemine.

Enjoy This Filmstrip

filmerOkay, so it’s not actually a filmstrip, though that would be cool. Instead it’s Filmstrip, the band.  Listening to their latest single, I can’t help but to recall a more country-fied version of Dinosaur Jr.  There’s a slight bit of drawl in the vocals, while the guitars have a cascading effect, though definitely a bit more patient than something Mascis might have penned.  Still. there’s something to be said about the ease with which this song hits you in the face; it’s so enjoyable, you’re not even sure you’ve fallen in love with it before it’s left and gone away.  The group releases Moments of Matter, their new LP, on November 4th.
