Bright Pop from The Mary Onettes

November 19, 2012 nathan.lankford Leave a comment

Yeah, this track surfaced on Friday, but what better way to start off on a Monday than by listening to the blissed out pop from The Mary Onettes. Their at work on their third LP, Hit the Waves (Labrador-March 2012), with changes in the music expected by the band; some of those changes are apparent in this first single. Sure, you can see the nostalgia remnants, but that hazy darkness birthed on their first self-titled LP seems a distant memory. Who knows where this will all end up, but I’m always glad to jam to a tune by these guys, so here you go. Happy Monday.

New Music from Sambassadeur

October 24, 2012 nathan.lankford Leave a comment

I’ve been waiting for some time to listen to this new track from Sambassadeur, knowing that one of my favorite labels, Labrador, was going to release a new 7″ from the group. The Memories 7″ is set to come out in November, and they’re giving everyone a chance to preview the material today. Interestingly, the bass line steals the show, providing a stepping rhythm that definitely propels the song forward. If you’ve followed the band, you’ll notice the orchestral touches such as horns and string cuts coming in and out of the track. I wish these guys would put out more material, but this will do.

New Music From Club 8

February 22, 2010 RayRay Leave a comment

Oh how Fridays are always so much better when you get a lil jam like this in your inbox! Since we don’t work much over the weekend, maybe you can enjoy this one during your rough Monday morning? Anyway, this new pop diddy, “Western Hospitality” comes by way of Swedish band Club 8. The song will appear on the now veteran’s upcoming album The People’s Record due out May 12th on Labrador. Good times.

Pelle Carlberg – 1983

July 15, 2008 nathan.lankford Leave a comment

Apparently Sweden is trying to corner the market on pure pop music. Pelle Carlsberg is no different; he comes off more Belle and Sebastian than Jens Lekman, although neither seem to be in his vein, with the latter comparison coming from his lyrics. His debut album comes out August 27th on Labrador Records. Just enjoy the breezy pop this afternoon, as it might cool you off just a bit! Well, probably not, but its a good tune.
