New Video from The Walters

The Walters are a Chicago act that’ve been on our radar for some time, due mostly to their undying support for our boys in Summer Salt. Just last week they unleashed this pop-tastic hit with it’s accompanying video, a prelude to what’s to come from the band. It’s hard to ignore such huge hooks from the band, and the exuberance in the video perfectly portrays what I’ve come to expect from the band. It doesn’t hurt that this tune was also recorded by legendary Phil Ek, all the more reason to give these guys some love going into the rest of 2017.

New Music from Fleet Foxes

Remember Fleet Foxes?  Yeah, it has been some time hasn’t it?  Today news broke that there has been official release date for their latest album, Helplessness Blues.  Once again, Sub Pop will be releasing the record, hitting the street on May 3rd.  Personally, I’m stoked that they worked with Phil Ek again, producing and mixing, as he’s one of my favorites behind the board.  When first listening to this track, I kind of saw a bit faster pacing, at least in regards to the strumming, but as the song begins to trickle towards the end, you can see the band go off into that whispy winter quality that made their debut so lovable.  We know everyone will be talking about this one all day.
