Lou Rebecca Shares Video for Waiting

May 24, 2019 nathan.lankford Leave a comment

B Gray and I are both pretty high upon Lou Rebecca, and to be honest, the act has been quietly making waves in Austin for some time. This track is something special, giving us a little bit of the duality that’s presence in the project’s work; you get both the native French tongue of Lou Rebecca, but also the accessible English. I think the special thing on the musical side is how her vocals have this breath-y quality, like last pop gasps, punctuated by the electronic work of Missions. The track will appear on her debut LP, Restless, which is being released by the fine people of Holodeck Records.

Joyous Pop from darkDark

January 11, 2017 nathan.lankford Leave a comment

Every once in awhile, a great pop jam bursts through the noise into my listening rotation, and I think this darkDark tune does just the trick. Haley Bonar sings on the tune, opening it up with a crisp bit of angelic tones before the bass and drum beats kick in behind her. It’s got just enough of a hook, and just enough of a burst to encourage you to grab your friend and run to the dance floor to let the evils of the world escape. Sometimes true pop music has a place, and perhaps we need it now more than ever.

Brand New Music from The Ocean Party

August 10, 2016 nathan.lankford Leave a comment

It’s that time of month where we give you more new music from our favorite Aussie’s, The Ocean Party. The band’s been pretty prolific, getting an album a year out, including last year’s Light Weight, which we helped find a home in the States. Here they are set to release their newest, Restless, and the titular track illustrates how much they’ve grown as a band; the production and accompaniment on this track alone demonstrates what a huge pop group they’ve become. Restless is being handled by Spunk; it will have a worldwide release on September 30th…get ready for another album of great tunes. And! If you’re in the States, look for the band to head our way soon!

New Music from the Ocean Party

June 24, 2016 nathan.lankford Leave a comment

Last year we released Light Weight on our ATH Records label, but the boys in Ocean Partynever stop writing great songs, and they’re already back with another album for Spunk Records. It’s a spirited number, further displaying the band’s growth; they no longer sound like just another bunch spewing the dole wave gospel, but rather a fully formed collective of great pop songwriters. Maturity might be the best word, but no one’s worn it better than these lads. Oh, and they kicked out a great video to go with the song that you can check out over HERE. Restless will come your way later on in this year, with a US tour scheduled for early 2017.
