Sorry I Missed This: New Western Medication

westernmedicationStill working my way through the endless SXSW emails, and hiding in there was this gem from Western Medication that hit at the end of the week while I was knee deep in Lone Star. The quartet hails from Nashville’s DIY scene, and while they’ve had a few releases, this track is celebrating the completion of their debut album. Guitars take on that dreamy circular jangle, while the vocals provide a more emphatic approach to songwriting, giving a natural energy to the tune. Honestly, this seems like the perfect progression that’s been so dear to many people’s hearts for some time, bringing pop music in a distinct direction. Look for their debut, The Entertainer’s Secret, on April 15th via Funeral Party.
