Fun Friday Streams

Leave a comment

Friday’s, for me, Friday is a little bit of freedom, a little bit of a chance to kind of kick back and look towards the weekend. And, what better way to do that than by finding some sweet records to spend some time with as you so? I’ve compiled a few of the records on my list for today, maybe you’ll spend some time with them as well!

Fixtures – Hollywood Dog (Bobo Integral)

En Attendant Ana – Principia (Trouble in Mind)

Summer Flake – One Less Thing (Rice is Nice)

First Day of Spring – Fly Over Apple Blossom

The Happy Somethings – A Gathering of All Sorts (Subjangle)

Summer Flake Return with Stranger Single

Leave a comment

It’s been several years since we’ve heard from Aussie outfit Summer Flake, but we’re all being rewarded today with a brand new single and the hope that more is on the horizon. A light little strum drew me into this tune, offering a sort of musical ray of sunshine that could slide right into any moment in your life. The vocals feel equally as light, and in a sense, almost dreamily playful, riding the mix like a white knight on a glorious stallion of melody. To me, there’s something super sweet in its simplicity, and I can’t help but appreciate every moment of this tune; here’s to hoping we get more. Track out today courtesy of Rice is Nice!

Digging This Grunge From Summer Flake

unnamed-29Stephanie Crase, of Adelaide, Australia, is the front lady behind the moniker, Summer Flake. Together, with her bandmates, she’s got a new album coming out in a little over a month on the fine label Rice is Nice Records. To amp us up for that album, they’ve got a new video for the track “Shoot and Score,” and have also debuted a whole new song, “Wine Won’t Wash Away,” which are both killer grunge-pop tracks that will help you get through the Monday. Personally, I like the way the guitars fuzz out while the vocals are very mellow and even tempered. Take a listen to both below.

“Dead” Video From Darts

Leave a comment

dartsWe don’t normally post a lot of music videos, but when I came across this one by Darts, I simply couldn’t resist, as the song is awesome and the music video creepy, yet entertaining. The song, “Dead,” is an angst filled roller coaster ride, and the male vocals definitely bring you thoughts of Modest Mouse, but what’s different about this song as well as the band are the presence of the contrasting female vocals which add a whole different aspect to the sound. Watch the disturbingly awesome video below and jam along with Darts.

Pleased To Meet You: The Frowning Clouds

DIG FC2014 front coverDiscovery is the great thing about running this site; you stumble into things you didn’t even know existed then you’re so excitable you’ve got to share with the folks.  This week I’ve really been rocking to The Frowning Clouds, an Australian act I hadn’t heard as of yet.  They’ve got a bit of psychedelia in their tunes, but also this grittiness associated with garage rockers; it reminds me of the best moments of Mozes and the Firstborn.  They’ve got a new LP titled Legalize Everything coming your way next week via Rice is Nice, so if it’s your bag, grab at it!
