Frankie Sunswept and the Silver Moons Share New Video

If you’re yearning for the psychedelic pop that Of Montreal popularized within the indie scene, might we suggest you listen to this new track from Frankie Sunswept & the Silver Moons. The group utilizes a fantastic bass groove that bobs in and out of the speakers, surrounding it with layers upon layers of vocals, building up this huge swell of melody that seamlessly melts into the band’s wash of texture. There’s a little bit more warmth to it too, so the pop current really operates beneath the craft, which provides a bit more listening longevity, as you’re not pummeled with hooks, but rather soak in the baths of their pop tendencies. You’ll find this jam on the group’s new Nostalgia LP, out next February.

Lost Ships Drop Nostalgia

Follow our site? Well, then you’ve likely seen us supporting Portsmouth’s Lost Ships band; they just released the Nostalgia EP via Subjangle Sounds. The group, in my opinion, likes to walk a fine line between jangling indiepop and classic power pop sounds. In this listen, you’ll get heavy riffs, fuzzy of course, but they can quickly turn things light-hearted and toe-tapping in a heartbeat. Take “Shirley from Shirley,” opening with more of a soft brood over heavy circling guitars and melodic “ahhs;” then those sharp riffs dance their way into your living room, forcing your hips to swing and your feet to shuffle. Thinking that “Inside My Head” might be my favorite of this lot, just an energetic bop the whole way through, and I can’t wait for you to enjoy it too! Stream the EP or buy it HERE.

Show Pics: Howard Jones @ ACL Live (6/28)

The wife was feeling nostalgic when she bought tickets to see Howard Jones perform Human’s Lib and Dream Into Action. Think of all the soundtracks, montages, sing-alongs on 80’s night. “Like To Get To Know You Well” makes me want to restore a Camaro with a French girl.

HoJo was one of the guys pushing Synth Pop. Listen back to these early albums and tell me you don’t pick up on Twin Shadow, Chairlift and others currently pulling these new wave tones back up top. And Human’s Lib, despite it’s happy singles, is a pretty dark album.

I figured I might as well take some pics.
