Fashionably Late To The Party: Cherry Crush

February 12, 2016 nicole.baumann Leave a comment

I don’t know what the weather’s like in your neck of the woods, but here in the ATX we are burning our winter coats and donning our spring dresses and shorts for today’s perfect spring day. For me, this warming up in temperature always gets me hankering to listen to a hefty amount of shoegaze/ dreampop music, and lucky for me I found a great track from Cherry Crush. “Lights Out” is a burst of energy, the kind of song you blast through your headphones while you’re outside enjoying the warm sunshine. The percussion on this song is airy and lush, cymbal laden and light, while the guitars shimmer through and backup vocals join the lead for some “ohs” in the background. Turn it up loud and enjoy the weather…or at least pretend like it’s spring.

Bishop Allen Gives Us Another Pop Hit

July 17, 2014 nathan.lankford Leave a comment

We’re less than a month away from the new Bishop Allen LP, and it looks to offer us a whole lot of enjoyment as we wrap up our summer. We previously shared “Start Again,” which was an immediate pop hit. This new song, keeps vibe going, utilizing really light guitar lines and washes of keyboards to craft a pulsating verse that’s met by a quiet whirlpool of sugary delight. Their new record, Lights Out, hits on August 19th via Dead Oceans, wrapping up what’s been a pretty fun summer of listening activities. I can’t wait for you folks to hear this album, so get another little taste below.

New Album from Bishop Allen

May 28, 2014 nathan.lankford One comment

Some songs are impossible to ignore. They immediately grab you, holding you tight, spinning you in whirlwind of pop. That’s precisely the feeling I got when I listened to this brand new track from Bishop Allen. If you look at the cover art for the band’s upcoming record, Light’s Out, you get the sense that the band was pursuing the same thing, putting some young kisd on the cover dancing up a storm. It’s the sign of something delightfully catchy coming your way at the end of the summer, August 19th to be exact; it’s being released by Dead Oceans. I dare you not to like this song.
