Cindy Share Lost Dog Single

Dammit! Why are you not listening to Cindy all day every day! The San Francisco band shared another single from their forthcoming 1:2 LP, and I’ll be darned if I’m not going to play this during my students’ free write time today. It’s this drifting piece of no-pop, almost as if it’s a song that’s just happy to merely exist in the world. The recording is so intimate, all the way to the crackling of the speakers and the little nuanced electronic notes toying with your ears in the distance. Every time I press play I’m just transfixed, rooted to this sort of other-worldly blank space where there’s nothing but me and this tune, drifting away into the unknown. Whatever. This better be on your year end list or you’re a fake. Look for 1:2 via Tough Love/Mt. St. Mtn. on September 1st.

DD Island Shares Sawtooth Sunshine

I don’t really know how to describe Nashville songwriter D.D. Island other than to say that his music is really, really good. Even with that praise, it’s hard to define his sound; it takes on elements of current dream pop, but also looks nostalgically upon groups such as Galaxie 500. It seems sort of down-trodden and forlorn, though there are these bright little guitar lines that pop in the mix adding just a glimmer of hope to the listener. There’s even a breakdown of sorts in the song’s latter half, giving hope via the lyrics. If you’re into it, his debut full-length Lost Dog drops this weekend.
