New Layered Pop From Autumn Owls

September 12, 2012 RayRay Leave a comment

Autumn Owls are a band that a can’t quite put my finger on, but I still find them rather interesting despite my ability to put some sort of label on their sound. You’ll obviously hear a lot of different layers to their sound when listening to the song below “Great Atlantic Drift”. It’s a really dark tune and intricate tune that seems to offer something new to discover each time you listen to it. See what I mean?

The Dublin based trio will be releasing their debut LP Between the Buildings, Between the Sea on October 23rd via Epitonic.

New Song from The Wrens

March 9, 2011 nathan.lankford One comment

Long have I loved The Wrens, who released one amazingly flawless LP, Meadowlands. They’ve hinted time and time again at new music, but we’ve only gotten glimpses over the past decade. Today, Stereogum released a track via Epitonic, and I got that warm feeling all over again. Listening, it has that same brooding/builiding element, forcing you to anticpate the eventual eruption of joy. Spolier alert: that eruption doesn’t come, as one might expect, but there’s still an element that harkens back to the days of the band’s first album, which immediately makes me smile. A gentle haze, steady drumming, and that guitar sound. I love it, and I hope you do too.
