Final Bayonne Single

February 6, 2019 nathan.lankford Leave a comment

We’re just a few weeks away from the release of Drastic Measures, the latest LP from Bayonne. He’s been an important part of Austin’s music scene, so it’s great to see his work evolve through time. This tune’s fairly simple and relaxed, though you can still hear the textured thoughtfulness Roger Sellers has always incorporated into his sound. For my two cents, I like that there’s no huge emotional release…that seems a little cliche, and too easy, and that’s never been Sellers’ style. Just sit back, let the vibes wash over you, and look for the new LP via Mom + Pop Records on February 22nd.

Lady Lamb Makes Her Triumphant Return

October 31, 2016 nicole.baumann Leave a comment

It’s no secret that I’m a big fan of Lady Lamb, or Aly Spaltrow, if we’re in the business of naming the lady behind the moniker. Her debut album,After, from early in 2015 was a statement piece that allowed us to marvel at her raw vocals and the unique blend of indie rock that she brings to the scene. It brings me great pleasure to spread the word that Lady Lamb has returned with a new track and is prepping a new EP that’s set to come out in about a month. “See You” picks up right where we left off– Spaltrow’s jazzy-yet-rough vocals punching you in the face within the first few seconds of the track while her nimble guitar playing fills out the rest of the tune. I’m especially digging the playful “woos” that warm you to the song and the repeated chorus that closes things out.

Tender Warriors Clubwill be out December 1st via Mom + Pop Records.

Another Great Mutual Benefit Track

May 4, 2016 nathan.lankford Leave a comment

Admittedly, I wasn’t entirely on board for the first wave of Mutual Benefit hype, but on this new cycle, I’ve completely committed my support. This song is the perfect illustration at the care put into the band’s craft; it celebrates the band’s orchestral movements, while also portraying the fragility of voice. As the song sprawls over 4 minutes, you’re completely enraptured in the song’s movement, though glacial at pace. This is what should move us, should move you. Skip a Sinking Stone will be out via Mom + Pop Records on May 20th.

Perfect Pop from Mutual Benefit

April 5, 2016 nathan.lankford Leave a comment

There are some songs that are executed almost to perfection, and this brand new Mutual Benefit is one such number. Almost from the opening moments, the careful layering of strings and quieted percussion lays the groundwork for this perfect piece of pop. Vocals enter the picture carefully, melting into the song itself, touching every emotion as the song progresses towards its quiet end. This song looks to play a prominent role in your enjoyment, or anyone’s enjoyment, when Skip a Sinking Stone is released via Mom + Pop on May 20th.
