Field Guides Drop Latest Single Esopus

In trying to cram your Friday with as much new tunes as I’ve got under my belt, this delightful new Field Guides tune seems like its got to be included here. Sharp angular riffs do a little jig around this pulsing beat and 80s synth lines, so you just dive into the inner joy right away. Vocals have a feathery touch to them, giving off this sort of darkened croon that’s perfectly contrasted by the shimmering musical underbelly. All of it comes together perfectly, picking up where the band left off with their recent LP, Ginkgo. Definitely a Friday bright spot for you!

Field Guides Share Margaret Single

There’s some really breath-taking music being made as of late, and I’ve really need those voices in my listening rotation. One such artist is Brooklyn’s Field Guides, crafting these striking folk tunes with moving arrangements supporting the gentle strum, like on this “Margaret” single. Honestly, it feels like this is the sort of link between the likes of Bill Callahan and David Berman; I can’t quit playing this song. Listen closely, as there’s a nice vocal accompaniment that begins to filter into the tune as it bends around your ears; this track is filled with delicate little flourishes that will certainly charm. This tune appears on the new LP, Ginkgo, out on June 1st via Whatever’s Clever.

Great Pop Music From Ginkgo

20130709-ginkgo-x600-1373393325This great pop tune called “Faded Glory” from Minneapolis based group Gingko has been spinning on my iPod for awhile and I just realized that I had yet to post it to ATH.  It’s a great pop tune that is really bringing to mind images of a young Dent May or even Albert Hammond Jr. in his solo career.  If you’ve been around this website before, you know that we’re down for such things.

New album Manopause will be available September 3rd via ibid Records.
