The Laughing Chimes Announce Vinyl Release

Breaking last week, we wanted to remind you that you’ll now get a collection of great tracks from young Ohio janglers The Laughing Chimes on vinyl. They’ve hand-picked a few tracks off their various releases to put them on in one beautiful 7″ that you’ll have spinning on your record player for some time to come. Through these three tracks, you’ll get the earnestness of the band, be that from their youth or just their enthusiasm, they’re highlighting the best of the sounds that those into the jangle realm adore. The Laurel Heights 7″ will be available from Slumberland/Prefect Records on September 22nd.

Telephone Numbers Share Weird Sisters

After the masses fell in love with the Ballad of Doug, San Francisco’s Telephone Numbers are back with a brand new 7″, and we’ve got that fresh A-side below for you. I love how huge and classic this new single feels; there’s a level of brightness in the craft here that seems to leap right out of your speakers. For me, it’s all about the vocals, carrying that sunshine beyond and giving off this natural enthusiasm and fervor that makes the future seem so promising. If you’re digging on it, then you can grab it on February 24th from Prefect Records or Meritorio Records!

Mt Misery Share Taken by the Tide

There’s something really special in store for those that are willing to take some time to sit back and listen to Mt. Misery. The Hartlepool act have this very casual pop style going on, somewhere that toys with the modern guitar pop sounds of Real Estate, though looks upon the melodic nature of some of the best in Aussie pop; it’s sort of a cross between jangling indiepop and every band you’ve been told to love. Their take is perfect, and I love the fact that the vocals have this distinctive clarity that lets you ride with the melody on your back and a smile on your face. Once Home, No Longer is out June 25th via Prefect Records.
