New Music from The Rainy Afternoons

Leave a comment

rainyMan, sometimes Texas is so big you just don’t realize the hidden gems hiding in your own backyard.  It took a UK blog, Burning World, to shine a light on the Rainy Afternoons, which is the project of one of the former members of Flying Nun band, Garageland.  That band fared pretty well, and I think some of the songs from this project definitely have some longevity.  The songs on this short unnamed EP range from fuzzy to super accessible, such as the song below.  Be sure to check out all the tunes up for offer, and don’t forget that you can always donate to help the cause…well, you should always donate.

Monday Morning Dance Party with De Lux

Leave a comment

deluxIf you’re anything close to me, then I know Monday’s can be a struggle; it’s hard to get out of bed sometimes in order to get going.  So I figured I’d bust out this throbbing jam from De Lux to get you up and out of your chair. Initially the vibe got me going, bobbing my head around the house, but then the lyrics came in, adding to the party.  They’re coated a bit here, but the muddy feel definitely adds to the vibe you’ll get with this tune. It reminds me of what LCD Soundsystem could have sounded like if they were any good.  You can get your hands on their self-titled EP on December 10th if you’re looking to party, but for now, let’s dance.

Recent Rocker from Food Court

Leave a comment

smileFood Court first came to my attention via the RSTB blog, and I’ve been jamming their latest EP ever since that day…earlier this week. As I browsed for something cool to post for you on this Friday, I figured you’d appreciate an energetic close to your afternoon.  This track has everything you need, from a bouncing bass line to hook filled choruses that will have you tapping your toes and aching to sing-a-long at the top of your longs.  It’s the title track from the band’s Smile at Your Shoes EP, so pick it up if you need a pick me up.  Enjoy your weekend folks.

New Music from Warm Brains

Leave a comment

1421044_585658611487612_1302266135_oIt’s great watching little labels grow and blossom, and I’m continually impressed by the work of the guys over at Art Is Hard Records.  They up-the-ante on their subscription every year, and with that hard work, have afforded more time and finances to put out other works, such as this new piece from Warm Brains.  I can’t help but to hear little bits of Brit Pop lurking within the track, though it seems much more modern than that.  I guess you can say it’s a more angular version of what I hear when I listen to Teenage Fanclub.  The EP is titled Happy Accidents, and they’ll be releasing it on December 16th to wrap up a great year.

New Music from Finnmark!

Leave a comment

finnmarkDuring festival season you occasionally miss the hits you were most forward looking forward to, so I definitely owe a bit of gratitude towards Howard at Indie Pop for pointing me in the direction of this great new Finnmark! We’ve written about the band on several occasions, but not since August have we heard new tunes. They’ve just put up a new single via February Records, and this one shows a more somber tint to the band’s sound.  You’ll still find a deep tone to the vocals, which go perfectly in line with the heavy jangle that holds the song together.  Take a listen to this killer tune.

More New Tunes from Magic Trick

Leave a comment

MagicTrick_smallAs reported last week, there’s a new album from Magic Trick, the side-project (of many) by Tim Cohen of Fresh and Onlys.  Based off this tune, and the one we ran last week, he’s slowing things down, as usual with this project.  The guitar is pretty nice, with this Southern twang/slide working throughout, while the rolling drum emphasizes a journey one must take. Adding a female touch in the vocal section definitely adds an extra layer of majesty to the project. River of Souls will be out on Decemeber 3rd via Empty Cellar Records.

New Jam from Little Racer

Leave a comment

RACER_01.141746It’s always funny to me how some bands break in the UK before ever making waves in the US, so I definitely feel like I need to open my eyes beyond my own shores…such is this global world.  One of the bands that have really made a name for themselves abroad is Little Racer of NY; they even put out a 7″ overseas in 2011.  But, things look to change with catchy tracks such as the one below.  There’s a dark quality from the sound of the guitars and the brooding bass line, but you’ll still hear an accessible pop sensibility lurking beneath.  Enjoy this track and wait for the group’s upcoming EP.

Another Gem from Jeremy Jay

Leave a comment

JeremyJayLondonTreesYep, the last few months have scattered hits from Jeremy Jay, and this one is another that spread around yesterday.  But, I don’t care; Jeremy’s been really kind to us, and really important to my listening habits over the last several years, so I’m going to give you yet another new tune.  This track appears on Abandoned Apartments, which comes out on January 21st via K Records.  It’s a song that fits in perfectly with the record, and it’s definitely one of the standout tracks.  He’s pulled back a bit on the electronics, hiding them lower in the mix, which allows listeners to really connect with his striking voice.  Personally, I like the discordant noise push that comes in the latter half of the song, but anything he touches is likely to make me happy.

Relaxed Number from Delay Trees

Leave a comment

delay_trees_promo_2013_2I’m in love with the modern genre that I’m going to dub casual-pop, or cas-pop for those who want to hype it up.  It’s a genre focused on airy guitar work, warm melodies and occasional lo-fi tendencies…such as Real Estate or Twerps.  The genre’s made its way over to Finland and Delay Trees.  They’ve just offered up their first single as a teaser to Readymade, which is their new album; it’s slated for an early 2014 release via Soliti.  I liked their last album, but if they keep writing such incredibly well-crafted tunes like the one below, then I’ll surely declare my love when it hits the streets.
