Stunning New Tune from Jake Xerxes Fussell

Leave a comment

The history of the furniture man runs deep through the heart of the South, appearing in various blues traditions, but Jake Xerxes Fussell gives it his own spin on this new single. You’ll hear slide guitar and careful picking throughout the tune, but in a ballad such as this, the power of the voice is what really shines. Fussell has this deep tone, but there’s a few notes where you can hear him pushing himself, straining to get every drop of emotion from within onto this recording. Hopefully you’ll find some comfort in such a strong outing, and if so, look for Jake’s new album, What in the Natural World, via Paradise of Bachelors on March 31st.

Start Thursday with Folk from Itasca

Leave a comment

itascaThursday’s always seem like the worst days for me; you’re over the hump, but not quite to the weekend…it’s always been my slowest day. So, this new song from Itasca seems the perfect way to begin the day. Slide guitar is draped over careful guitar strumming, well-placed bells and the voice of Kayla Cohen. It’s a calming piece, and in being such, it allows you to ease into your day, start off things on an even keel. Plus, it comes with news that the project will release a new album, Open to Chance, on September 30th via Paradise of Bachelors.

Terry Allen’s Juarez Gets Reissued

Leave a comment

taGrowing up in Texas, I feel like Terry Allen should be required in your listening education. While he’s possibly been overlooked, he’s always had a unique place in the pantheon of the state, with perhaps his best outing being Juarez (1975). Luckily for those of you who missed it (or didn’t have music obsessive dads like mine), Paradise of Bachelors is releasing his masterpiece, with a deluxe edition featuring tons of Terry’s art. Sure there’s Willie and Stevie, sure there’s Daniel Johnston, but Mr. Allen is a jewel no matter which way you spin it. The album gets reissued on May 20th.

Fresh Track From Nap Eyes

Leave a comment

unnamed-9The perks of this gig are that we occasionally get to preview albums months before their arrival, and that’s the case for me loving the song below so much. I’ve listened predominantly to two upcoming releases: Pete Astor and Nap Eyes. I really listened to them, playing them hundreds of times, and this Nap Eyes effort is really great. It’s got all the things that made indie rock so dominant in the late 90s/early 00s, offering great lyrical content along with a combination of college rock nostalgia and folk flourishes. Their new effort Thought Rock Fish Scale is nothing short of an enduring album you’ll come back to time and time again; it hits on February 5th via Paradise of Bachelors.

Catching Up with Nap Eyes

Leave a comment

nappyWay back in 2014 we were way into Nap Eyes, and it seems the rest of the world is catching on to our love there…everyon’es really high on this act at the moment. Yesterday, news broke of their forthcoming sophomore release, Thought Rock Fish Scale. This single doesn’t have too much going on in it musically; it’s a casual ditty worked around some really relaxed guitar work and quiet percussive moments. But, what I think it striking folks is that it’s putting some literary content back into the world, which a great deal of artists seem to have shied away from…so it’s good to get something like this on the radar. Paradise of Bachelors will be releasing the band’s new album on February 5th of next year.

Yesterday’s News: New Gun Outfit Single

Leave a comment

gunoutfitI think people are going to be really surprised by the depth that’s present in this new Gun Outfit LP. It’s all over the map, musically, which is pretty evident just listening to this track here. Opening with a trickling bit of psychedelia, it branches out into more of a warning of impending doom. I suppose you could stretch and say the darkened edges of psych rock are ever-present, but when listening to the album as a whole, I think it’s offering much more, even some tracks that are pretty simplistic in their presentation. All that being said, it’s diversity and accessibility make Dream All Over a special listen; it’s out on October 16th via Paradise of Bachelors.

Gun Outfit Unleash New Single

Leave a comment

gunoutfitJust when you thought you had Gun Outfit pegged, they go and mix things up on you, tossing out a real slow burner as their latest single. Kind of sounds like the post-rock ghost of Bill Callahan, which I won’t be complaining about anytime soon. There’s all sorts of space in the track being filled in and out with guitar noodling and percussive touches to flesh out the number. Their new album, Dream All Over, definitely will be on my list of must buys, but just in case you haven’t been thoroughly convinced, give this one a listen. You can grab the album from Paradise of Bachelors on October 16th.

Promised Land Sound Give Us A New One

Leave a comment

988605_388342504603069_2075855350_nWe’ve given some love to Promised Land Sound in the past so you shouldn’t be surprised to see their name mentioned here again.  Today they have this great new track “Otherworldly Pleasures” for your listening pleasure.  It’s a little bit psychedelic with dashes of Americana and maybe even just a hint of folk stylings for good measure.

You can pick up new album For Use and Delight on October 2nd via Paradise of Bachelors.

Gun Outfit Give You Mellow Folk Rock

Leave a comment

10325577_1387509698154727_9205184690863579935_nGun Outfit are a group out of Southern California who are back with their fourth studio album, Dream All Over, which is due out October 16th on Paradise of Bachelors. From this new album they’ve shared the lead single, “Gotta Wanna,” and it’s a low-key simmering track with folk and americana influences. If you’ve ever been to SoCal you’ll understand how the track mimics the landscape there; the bluesy guitar work meanders easily through the mix while those dueling male/female vocals waft gently in, giving the track a desert rock feel to it. I’m digging this subtle jam, and I’m looking forward to more from Gun Outfit.

Tranquil Guitar Duet Thursday

Leave a comment

guitarThis is a little different than what I normally share with you all, but nonetheless something that deserves your attention. James Elkington and Nathan Salsburg are on their way to release their sophomore album of guitar duets called Ambsace on September 18th, but before that record comes out through Paradise of Bachelors, the gentlemen have given us a delightful track to sink our teeth into. This song below, “Up of Stairs” is three minutes and forty nine seconds of sublime acoustic guitar work, blending both folk and americana sound. This was the first song I chose to listen today, and I can say that it was a calm and serene start to my day. Won’t you join me?
