Cindy Share Procession + Announce Another Country

I’m an avid Cindy fan, so I should have had this up last Friday, or even Monday, but there’s just so many tunes and I only have just so many words. Alas, here I am with some more words about how incredibly moving Cindy is. They’ve just announced Another Country, which is a nod to James Baldwin, so the literary nature hits home. But, while they tend to embrace the term fog pop on their recordings, I’ll admit that there seems to be a bit more life to this single’s surface. Sure, there’s a forlorn nature to what Karina Gill does on the microphone, but this tune has this almost classic doo-wop swagger to it, looking back to perfect simplicity in pop. Oh, and a little horn nod too? Yep, I’m totally in on Another Country, which hits on May 1st via Tough Love Records.

New Beautiful Folk Number From Alameda

While endlessly searching for new music on the interwebs, I came across this band from Portland called Alameda that caught my ear for a minute.  They seem to fit in nicely with the Portland scene as they have that sort of cool folk sound reminiscent of North Westerners Fleet Foxes.  I could even see them being a nice mix of our locals Balmorhea (if they had vocals) with that now super famous Portland folk grou.  The song below “Summer Dharma” appears on the band’s upcoming LP entitled Procession due out September 15th.  Maybe now we can get them down to Austin for a show.
