Get Your Country Blues On(ish) with Futurebirds

11779933_10153498714762937_7725662846396782883_oWe’re not known to usually post a lot of country type of tunes, so don’t you fret, this track still has plenty of alternative influence to satisfy your modern hipster heart. Futurebirds are on the brink of releasing their latest album, Hotel Parties, on September 25th, and they’ve got a taste of what’s to come from that release below. “Deadbeat Hits” is a twangified and bluesy little number that pushes your boundaries a bit as far as indie rock goes. The instrumentation seems fairly straightforward at first listen, but that guitar riff that floats above the rest in the beginning of the track hints at the underlying alternative country flair the tune takes. Soon, the vocals reveal more of this side, and you’re fully immersed in the encompassing blend of indie rock and blues that the band has. Check out Hotel Parties on September 25th via Easy Sound Recording Company.

Vetiver Brings Warmth Back to Forefront

vetsIt’s been a little bit since we’ve heard from Vetiver, but they’ve always been a personal favorite of mine, so I’m happy to hear new music coming from the Cali band.  Andy Cabic, the man behind the music has completed the work on Complete Strangers, the group’s new album (or his new record, really).  This single is the sort of infectious folk-influenced pop songwriting that I find rather endearing; there’s a nice bobbing bass line working beneath, with slide guitar working in and out of the song itself.  All the while, Cabic excels with his genial vocal delivery; it’s every bit an afternoon in Cali. Easy Sound releases the LP on March 24th.
