Woods Deliver Double Single

Leave a comment

It’s nearing Fall, or late Summer as we call it here in Austin, and with that, wistful Winter tunes are necessary; there are no finer purveyors than Woods, who are set to head out on the road for a quick little jaunt up the East Coast. To celebrate, the group are offering up a couple of new tracks, both of which you can stream below. They’ve sort entered their peak Grateful Dead, bridging the boundary between classic folk rock and modern indie sounds, all of it built for campfire sing-alongs with your best friends. Their first show on this East Coast tour is Friday night in NYC!

Woods Drop Double Single

Leave a comment

As a new Woods record hangs in the balance, it’s getting near for the band to go full promotion mode, so what better way than to touch down with a double single release? The first of the tracks, “Another Side,” started off just twisting into this groovy bit of exploration, filling in a heavy beat with horns on the horizon; it sets up the song really well for the center, dropping in just after the 2.5 minute mark. When those vocals drop in they’ve got this sort of pastoral nature, blending the track into this heavy groove that makes it pretty tasty. Flip that towards “Weep” and you get a little dose of the band at their best, twinkling guitar pieces tied nicely into a rolling bit of understated percussion. I love the absolute burst of ethereal joy that arrives with the chorus on this tune; they’re trying to one up the Clientele on this one! Both tracks have Perennial high upon my list of anticipated Fall records; it drops on September 15th via Woodsist.

The Mary Onettes Share Double Single

Leave a comment

What better way to roll into a Friday than to wake up and find two glorious tunes from one of my favorite groups, The Mary Onettes. The band have spent the last two decades flirting with that territory between dreamy bedroom pop and jangling indie pop; the first of the new singles employs both in one track, taking jangling notes and spinning them tightly around the deliciously dreamy vocals. On the next single, you get a more traditional bit of forestry pop, with a guest appearance from Agnes Alden adding in an extra musical layer longtime fans haven’t gotten before. I can only hope that the last few singles popping up in this world mean we’ll soon get even more tracks from the band, so stay tuned!

Spice World Share Dying to Go/What a Pity What a Shame Single

Leave a comment

It’s hard not to get overly excited when you hear the immediate infectiousness from Australia’s Spice World. That drum beat dropped in behind the guitars on “Dying to Go” and I just felt like I had been welcomed into a party with all my best friends; there’s this natural freedom to the track, rambunctious and fun, tethered to a hook all the while. Then they slip in and slow things all the way down on the flip, getting a little more of a look-in to the band’s ability to switch speeds mid-album. And speaking of album, the band are using this double single to announce There is No “I” in Spice World out on January 20th via Tenth Court and Meritorio Records.

William Maxwell Shares 2 Singles from It’s Been Here Changing for a Long Time

Leave a comment

If you’ve ever listened to Austin’s the Oysters, you know the songwriting has a special diversity you don’t always get with a full band; songwriter William Maxwell carries that over with his solo work, as we see with the two tracks he’s shared with us today. On one hand, you get the rocking vibes of “Drifted,” working their way with some swaggering guitar riffs that open to a jittering delivery that’s part punk and part Springsteen. I love the way those notes become increasingly impassioned as the song drives forward, letting loose as Maxwell’s enthusiasm shines through his work. Flip it over and you’ll find “Bad Things,” which ends up being a more folk based ballad; the song illustrates the gentle nature of William’s voice, further lifted by the the accompaniment of Mireille Blond. Special songs by one of our town’s stronger songwriters; his album It’s Been Here Changing for a Long Time will be out on April 23rd, partnered with a great little art book, courtesy of Porchfire Records.
