Indie Rock is Back with Leland Sundries

10501800_10152958977724109_633741058526209611_nI sort of miss the late 90s/early 00s of indie rock. There’s a lot that just gets rehashed in a tired way, but that’s why I’ve been digging this Leland Sundries tune…it’s not really any of that. It takes an Americana approach, then blends it with some of the classic alternative nods, mixing it all up to provide listeners with something timeless. I also value the fact that the lyrics are approachable and tell a bit. Look for the band’s new effort, Music for Outcasts, on June 3rd.

More New Tunes from Leland Sundries

Are you tired of me talking about Leland Sundries and their Foundry EP yet? Well, I’ve almost covered all the tunes on the site, so maybe this will be the last time (I’m not making any promises).  Nick Loss-Eaton has a great way with matter-of-fact storytelling and vocal delivery, which makes a song like this both interesting and attractive to listeners.  It’s a bit in the vein of Americana, but for the most part, it’s got a steady little country chug to it…although I’ll admit it’s probably one of the most upbeat tracks on the EP.  I don’t care if it’s just me, these dudes have something going.

New Slow Jam from Leland Sundries

Brooklyn’s Leland Sundries have just put out their Foundry EP, and we’ve got another new track from the effort to offer you up today.  For the most part, the song centers around a nicely strummed guitar, with a deep-toned vocal coming your way.  Apparently the song references a fire in Brooklyn in 2006, so it’s definitely had time to germinate with band leader Nick Loss Eaton.  Let’ this track sink in for a bit, and you’ll soon join us in singing the praise for Leland Sundries–another Brooklyn band with a really bright future.

Mellow Jam from Leland Sundries

It’s been a slow week for the heavier set of rock n’ roll, but when you get tracks like this new one from Leland Sundries, you can’t really complain.  This Brooklyn group is set to release their The Foundry EP on February 21st, and we’ll be lucky if it all sounds as delicious as this jam.  For the most part, the music is subdued, gently strummed guitar, but the vocal style has a relaxed approach that recalls, for me, a calmed Stephen Malkmus.  Let’s hope this band gets the respect they clearly reserve as their EP hits the streets.
