New Release from No Museums

Leave a comment

At least once a year, we’re gifted a release by No Museums; they’re always creating, and always succeeding in crafting enjoyable tunes. Today they drop It All Begins to Feel, an exercise in brevity and hooks. Six of the seven tracks all come in at under 2 minutes, though the craftsmanship maximizes your listening in enjoyment. These are subtle pop tunes, filled with smoky vocals and great guitar work; at the moment my favorite of the 7 is “Old Projectors.” So much substance packed into an enjoyable 11 minute adventure. I’m hoping that the band will have another release for us by year’s end, so cross your fingers while you enjoy.

Brand New EP from No Museums

Leave a comment

I don’t know what it is that’s always drawn me to No Museums, but I keep coming back as they write new tunes for me. This week they’re releasing the Surfers to the Beach EP, and I hope you listen to each track on this release. Some of the tunes have this spirited brightness, like opener “The Surfers Leave” and “In a Camper Van,” yet you’ll find a different emotion in others like “The Abandoned Reel.” For that track, it feels like the group chose to record it rather simply, almost as if the song barely made it onto tape; there’s an undeniable personality to it, something that drags you into your speakers. I can’t escape this band, and for that, I’m grateful.

Stream No Museums New Album, The Drifting Knives

Leave a comment

nomuseumsJust a few weeks ago we brought you one of the brand new tracks from No Museums, and now the time is here for you to stream the new record, The Drifting Knives. Some of the track are slow burning indie rock tunes, letting you settle in with good quality songwriting. But, I’d also advise listening to a track like “The Months,” which is built more around a muddied guitar strum and really soft vocal touch. It’s my favorite track today as I listen, but with this band, I love it all, so I’ll likely find another favorite tomorrow. This is one of those artists that I wish more people would spend time with, so now is your chance to enjoy a great Monday listen.

Fresh No Museums Tunes for You

Leave a comment

nomuseumsSadly, No Museums might be one of my favorite bands that not many of you know about…at least not yet. The Edmonton project has been running for sometime, consistently releasing these great pop gems that are destined for repeat consumption. I spent most of my night trying to figure out what song best suited the world, and while it may not be the standout, I’ve settled on the below track for your ears. It’s got this gentle quality that reminds me of late 90s college rock, slowly building with a nice little crackle in the speakers. The song won me over when it took this perfect little turn towards the chorus…just the change in the pitch made me want to play those twenty seconds over and over. I hope you’ll take some time listening to this track, and if you love it, listen to the new record, The Drifting Knives on Soundcloud. You’ll be glad you listened to me, for once.

Another New Album from No Museums

Leave a comment

nomuseumsNo Museums promised us they’d be working on a record or two a year, and they’ve just released the early part of of their 2016 work with Darkening. I’ve spent the past few days digging in before sharing with you, and while I definitely enjoy, it’s hard to pin down an exact track that’s a “single,” though many folks are picking up on “Stationing Out,” which I’ve shared below. It feels like a complete listen to me; it’s one that harkens back to some of the sonic elements of both dream pop and shoegaze, whilst still grounded in an absolute quietness. It’s currently available for NYP, but we always suggest donating to the work of artists. Grab it HERE.

Brand New Album from No Museums

Leave a comment

nomuseumsI’ve written about No Museums before, and in fact, quite a bit if you include the band’s previous working title, Twin Library. Luckily, you have the chance to have the band re-introduced into your life with a brand new album of great pop songs. Seriously, when someone lists their influences as GBV, Wedding Present, Television and Velvet Underground..it’s hard not to like them if they can write a song. Frightening Camera just popped up for free, but do the world a favor and donate to the cause so more great songs can be recorded in time for the next No Museums LP. Stream the entire thing below!

Stream the Malcontents: the New Album from No Museums

Leave a comment

nomuseWith all the varying genres out there, and their cohabitation, it’s hard to fin exactly what you’re looking for sometimes, except then it’s not.  Today I was just thinking about how I wanted a lo-fi bedroom folk record meshed with the shadows of shoegaze, so I’m fortunate that No Museums have put up their brand new album, The Malcontents for you to stream in its entirety. It’s a pretty stripped down affair, but there’s these little experimental elements that push the songs over the edge.  I hope this doesn’t turn out to be one of the best albums no one hears, so I’m encouraging you to grab it HERE (feel free to throw the band some dollars, Canadian ones).

Twin Library Now Named No Museums

nomuseumsYea. Alberta’s Twin Library have officially, or quietly, changed their name to No Museums.  The name change doesn’t mean that much, as the music still sounds great, which is good considering the band now has a new EP (mini-album?) up for the listening.  There are all sorts of musical nods here, but I enjoy the band’s approach to craftsmanship; they’re creating this basement folk music with just hints of distortion that swell and build throughout.  Definitely a nice touch. Enjoy your listening.
