New Music from Happy Diving

Leave a comment

happydiveIf you wait long enough, you’ll ultimately be rewarded.  This is precisely what happens when you give the latest single from Happy Diving a few minutes of your daily time.  Yes, it does start off with almost nothing happening, but as the distorted guitars crash and the drums kick in, it’s only a matter of time before the band offer relaxed vocals that definitely make the group something to keep an eye on.  And then its over, just as quickly.  On January 14th we’ll find out exactly what else the Cali band has up their sleeves when they release their self-titled EP on Father/Daughter Records…my interest is piqued.

Running in the Fog Sign with Father/Daughter Records

Leave a comment

runningWe’re really happy for the folks over at Father/Daughter Records. 2013 has seen the label push forward with great releases from the likes of Body Parts and others; they’ll continue their climb with the signing of Running in the Fog.  The name is the moniker for Amanda Harper, whose incredible voice dominates this very first single.  I think perhaps the greatest quality about this track is that there’s such a huge focus on the pristine nature of her voice and the accompanying instrumentation; it’s a focus that I think a lot of people have forgotten.  You can pick up the digital six song EP, titled Silver, on December 10th, just in time for a sweet gift on the holidays.

bodypartsYou guys getting tired of us raving about Body Parts? Well, too bad!  I like the music this group’s pushing right now, blending little bits of dance-tastic beats along with great pop sensibility.  This song’s great, using these touches of jagged guitars and forceful percussion to push the pace of the track, all the while holding onto some high octave harmonies.  The band’s been building quite a name for themselves, which is fitting with their debut, Fire Dream, set for release on October 29th via Father/Daughter Records.  It’s been awhile since I’ve thought about taking things out to the dance floor in hopes of shaking it, but yes, this song is definitely dance-floor ready.

 555534_375206492510272_182105325_nJust two weeks ago, we shared with you a brand new track called “Desperation” from recent Father/Daughter signee Body Parts.  Well today the band are offering up another new single entitled “Unavoidable Things” which can be streamed and enjoyed below.  Similar to our first posting, the song is a great groovy pop number with catchy beats and a bass line that will grow inside your head all day.  I dare you to resist.

As previously mentioned, the band’s debut album Fire Dream will be out on October 29th.

More New Music from Bent Shapes

Leave a comment

bentshapes_coffee_promowebWe’ve already talked about our adoration for Boston trio Bent Shapes in the past, and this new single from the group isn’t going to change that at all.  In fact, this is one of my favorite tracks on the entire new LP.  There’s something about the sound of the guitar in this tune that really makes the song work; it’s got a drifting quality that seems to leave you with a floating effect.  I like the way the vocals reach the same level why the drums work furiously beneath.  You can get your hands on the group’s debut album, Feels Weird, on August 20th via the excellent kids at Father/Daughter Records.

Body Parts Release Debut with Father/Daughter Records

Leave a comment

FireDream_Cover_webThere’s a purity in simple pop songwriting that often is overlooked, though that can’t be said about the newest act on the roster of Father/Daughter Records, Body Parts.  The band has signed with the label to release their debut, Fire Dream, on October 29th, and so far, it sounds like the band’s out to give us all some throwback fun. Utilizing synths, samples and groovy percussive elements, this lead single is nothing short of a hit ready-made for your summer party collection.  Personally, I like the pristine quality of the vocals soaring through through the speakers.  Need a touch of fun? This one’s for you.

New Signing for Father/Daughter Records: Bent Shapes

Leave a comment

bentOur friends over at Father Daughter Records have picked up a great signing with Boston’s Bent Shapes! The band’s been on my radar for a little while, having made waves with an early 7″; they specialize in creating hook-laden indie pop tunes fueled by ringing/jangling guitars.  Personally, I like the clarity of the vocals on the first single from their upcoming album Feels Weird, which will be released on August 20th.  I have a feeling you’ll be listening to this album for quite some time.

Ethereal Pop from Saskatchewan

Leave a comment

saskatchewanIf you were following us during SXSW you’d know we tossed a tiny gathering with Father Daughter Records (among others), so we’re lucky to have a new tune from the label to share with you by Saskatchewan.  Earlier this month they released a more somber affair, which I’ve got down at the bottom for you to stream, but this new jam is much more light-hearted, sonically speaking.  It has many of the signature moves of the group, such as a stuttering guitar line, and percussion for accents; it all leaves you with the sense of floating, perfect for drifting off to sleep.  The label will release the band’s debut, Occasion, on April 30th.

New Psych Pop From The Everywheres

Leave a comment

488070_262471803885817_2002843615_nHere’s a new tune from The Everywheres called “Someone Disappeared” that’s perked up my ears today.  It’s definitely a psych-pop rock tune with it’s groovy guitars and reverb laden vocals over everything.  Think Black Angels meets Tame Impala if you will.  It would certainly fit in nicely with their fore fathers of the 60s.

Keep your eyes peeled for the self-titled debut LP hitting stores on June 25th via Father/Daughter Records.
