Hazy Mellow Tunes from Nassau

Leave a comment

nassauI like the simplicity of this new track from New York duo, Nassau. There’s a trickling bit of percussive loops that opens the track, serving as a brief prelude to the meandering guitar work that dominates the rest of the song. My ears love that you can hear the slight buzz of the guitar string being plucked lightly.You’ll hear a hazy vocal, almost sounding weary and forlorn, yet in that, it’s also settling…at least in its familiarity. On June 23rd, the band will release the Hoss EP via Fire Talk Records…let it trickle in.

The Genius of Baby Birds Don’t Drink Milk

Leave a comment

bbddmRemember when we all first discovered Grizzly Bear? All of your friends and their friends were talking about this great new act that burst forth seemingly out of nowhere. Well, that’s not the story for Baby Birds Don’t Drink Milk, and then again, it is. They’re not a new act by any means, but they’ve been layering lush harmonies atop one another for quite some time, culminating in the beautiful new tune. I’m not one-hundred percent sure what the lyrics are taking on, but that’s what a lyrics sheet is for, right!? Their new effort Burritos will be out next week via Fire Talk Records, but I implore you to go to their BANDCAMP PAGE and explore their catalogue.

Fuzzy Number from Earring

Leave a comment

earringFire Talk Records seems to have a finger on the pulse, at least as far as the most recent fads come; it should be no surprise then they’ve added to their growing roster with Earring. The group unleashed their latest single, offering up a fuzzy tune that’s equal parts atmospheric vocals and equal parts blasts of noise. Something wicked lurks with Earring, however, as I find myself entranced by this number, getting drawn into the droning vocals as the cymbals crash in my ears. I also like these cats because they’re 50% of Ne-Hi, which was one of my favorite bands to get turned onto this year.

Digging This New Tune from Baby Birds Don’t Drink Milk

Leave a comment

bbddmI can’t tell if I should label this tune as an instrumental or not.  I mean, there’s technically vocals, but they come in the form of “oohs” being used as an instrument behind the softened jangle of the ringing guitars.  Sure, there’s no lyrical content per se, but I was still able to find some sort of emotional pull in it that encouraged me to share it with you.  After a hiatus, the BBDDM is back at it with this new mini album, titled Kill the Fuzz, which is being released by Fire Talk Records on April 21st; it’s definitely something to keep an eye on, as this band has been underground for too long.

Turnip King Aims to Impress…and Succeeds

Leave a comment

turnipkingThe word lo-fi gets tossed around all the time nowadays, and we’re definitely guilty of throwing it out there too, but I think the music that Turnip King has created definitely accomplishes that sound perfectly.  There’s a bit of tape fuzz on the edges of this song, though the group has their hands wrapped tightly around pop songwriting; they just choose to go off in a more explorative direction on this track. Fire Talk Records will be releasing the band’s new Moon Landing? EP on May 28th, and I appreciate the fact that I have no idea what to expect, other than I know it will be pretty solid.

New Gritty Pop From Campfires

Leave a comment

Here’s a short and sweet gritty pop number called “Fortune Teller” coming your way from Portland based indie pop band Campfires.  The band is basically a one man job by Jeff Walls who recently moved from Chicago for greener skies in the Northwest.  Jeff and his band moniker have a new album called Tomorrow Tomorrow coming out on February 19th via Fire Talk Records.  You should definitely check out a pre-order of the album if this one tickles your fancy.
