New Music from Horrible Houses

2 comments

horriblehouses5.143644I do not know much about Daniel Johnsson other than he’s the man behind the music of Horrible Houses.  Really, I don’t need much other than that, as this new single from his up-coming release is so remarkable that I’d be remiss if I didn’t share it with you as soon as possible. It’s got this frolicking folk feel to it, though blended through a bit of a lo-fi edge.  There’s even this really quiet touch at the back end of the song near the 3 minute mark where you’re just listening to a man and his intricate guitar work while the vocals slowly work their way in.  This is in my top songs of the year, today. You can grab his new release Family Tapes Vol. 3 in December from Happenin Records.

New Track from Bitch Prefect

Leave a comment

bitchThe last time I heard from Bitch Prefect was over a year ago, so I’m glad to have them back on my radar.  The band has been working on a new LP, the follow up to Big Time.  I like the fact that listening to the group often reminds me that somewhere in my mind the bastard sun of the Television Personalities and Calvin Johnson truly does exist.  It’s a slow treading song, though a slight pick up does ring out from the guitar near the end of the track.  I figured someone should give these guys some love, so here I am, supporting rad tunes.

Fresh New Tune from Shimmering Stars

Leave a comment

shimmeringSince the release of Violent Hearts, Shimmering Stars have been fairly quiet on the musical front.  But, like all bands, they’ve been changing things up and working on new tunes.  Their first single fulfills on the band’s promise to bring a noisier element to their music, whilst offering up their typical stylings of pop sensibility.  For me, I can hear a change in the delivery of the vocals, until you get near the 2 minute mark, where things take on a gentler tone.  I’m interested to see what is to come of the band when they finally unleash their next LP.

Drifting Dream from White Birds

2 comments

whitebirdsI’ve been keeping a close eye on White Birds, and admittedly, I never quite know what I’m going to get.  Sometimes the music created is so intimate, other times it’s interestingly abstract, but this new track that just popped up yesterday is too mesmerizing to miss.  I could just listen to the vocals over and over, soaring, quietly.  There’s a tribal quality in the percussion, which makes creates a really dense ethereal haunt throughout.  I’m not sure what or if this will be released, just think you should enjoy such a ridiculously good song; I’d be responsible for ruining your day if I didn’t let you hear it!

Poppy Tune from The So So Glos

383997_10150390708559738_62209039737_8404542_442126120_nWe’ve been fans for some time of The So So Glos, and that was cemented by my time spent listening to their phenomenal debut, Blowout.  It seems that some hard-working individuals have allowed them some free studio time to record a track of their liking, and the result seems like its a good fit.  Through their short time, they’ve grown increasingly softer on the ears…meaning that their brash style has sort of begun to fade.  That being said, it’s clear that some bands are meant to move on in that way, as this song offers a glimpse to just how great things sound when all the pieces come together. Give it a listen.

Another Tune from Traams

Leave a comment

919107_582153298485281_1428211538_oOne of the things I definitely appreciate, yet often forget, is that I’m subscribed to so many different sites and what not, that I often get songs sent to me without asking.  Other than free tunes, why would I like this? It reminds me that I occasionally, only occasionally (!), forget about tunes I really dig. So, I bring you back to Traams. The group recently released Grin via FatCat Records, and I think you should get your rock on with these dudes today…then you can go pick up your copy.  It’s a pretty simple rock tune, and I mean that in a good way, as I like my jams straight forward.  If they’re not on your radar by now, they should be!

Brand New Punk Jam from Radioactivity (members of Marked Men)

Leave a comment

radioactivity3x372Those of us in Texas have reason to be proud today.  Not only does this tune allow me to throw out a little bit of rock n’ roll your way, but it also marks the return of Jeff Burke from Japan. Jeff, who has renamed his work with The Novice, out of respect for his mates in Japan, has reunited with Mark Ryan, who you might know from The Marked Men (or Mind Spiders).  Together, they’ve formed Radioactivity, and this new tune’s a sweet introduction to the great things that are sure to come our way shortly. The band will be releasing their self-titled debut on Dirtnap Records at the end of  October.  Welcome home Jeff.

New Music from Night Terrors of 1927

Leave a comment

1370I always wondered what happened to Blake Sennett after Rilo Kiley disbanded and his group, the Elected, had gone quiet.  It appears he’s been working with a friend under the moniker of Night Terrors of 1927.  Yes, it’s a bit much to say, but I’m digging the music that they’re creating. It features this folk-influenced grand ballad approach, though they are trying to diversify by offering some electronic beats in the background during the chorus.  I think the song would survive without that touch, but the soft spot in my heart for Joey the Rat allows me to look the other way.  See what you think as the band ready the release of the Guilty Pleas EP on November 5th.

New Music from Snowmine

Leave a comment

SnowmineFrom the very first time I heard Snowmine, I was in love; they’ve played our SXSW party and made several of our year end lists.  After dipping their toes in the waters of record labels, the band have decided to release their new effort, Dialects, on their own.  The first big single is definitely what I expected from the band, using these incredible instrumental accents to build a wall of pop extravagance. The vocals, as always, are delightful, reminding me of exactly why I fell so hard for the band in the first place.  I’m sure if you spend some time with this new single that you’ll feel exactly the same way we do.

Fun Pop Track from COIN

Leave a comment

COIN_Promo3.120854As much as I appreciate the weirder side of music or the crisp clean hits of jangling pop, I will always have a spot for straight-forward tunes built for large audiences.  That’s the feeling I get when I first listened to this track from COIN; it’s got an explosive chorus, not to mention a catchy vocal delivery throughout.  The guitars have that ringing quality that’s put a lot of bands on the map lately, such as Phoenix, so why not stick with a solid formula that makes you endearing?  You need a pick-me-up jam? This is the one.
