More from Good Morning

Leave a comment

12622106_1636567596608368_9213207835973974193_oAs last year came to a close, we brought you a tune from the latest Good Morning release, “Cab Deg,” which we were really excited about. On their newest single, things have been stripped down, releasing a solemnity that’s both soothing and intriguing. I love the feeling of a good home recording, there’s something comforting in that…and while this may be a studio track, it has the personal feel of that bedroom soliloquy. The group’s second EP, Glory, is set to be released early next week via the folks over at Solitaire Recordings.

Stream Summer Salt’s Going Native EP

Leave a comment

sideaWe’re putting this Going Native EP out with the wonderful lads of Summer Salt. I don’t want to say too much on it because I honestly think the music, and the band’s live set speak for themselves. I promise you…in the next few months, if not the next few years, people will be talking about these dudes as one of the best in town. They celebrate with a release show at End of an Ear on Friday at 6 PM…or they also have a house show the following night that you can read about HERE.

If you want a copy, and I promise you that you do. Grab it HERE or HERE. It comes on rad green vinyl, and the image here is on the A Side…the B Side is a surprise!

Premiere: Say No! to Architecture Returns!

Leave a comment

allenIt’s been a few years since Allen Roizman last put out something under his Say No! to Architecture project, but as the 10 year anniversary of the act neared, he knew something had to be released to celebrate the occasion. The first listen you’re going to get is rather propulsive, but seeing as it’s a one man project, it’s important to listen to how Roizman layers the track, even using his voice at times to serve as an additional instrument. There’s no empty space, as each nook and cranny is filled and pushing forward. It accomplishes so much in an expansive 6 minutes that listeners should prep themselves for what we can hope is a long sit down with his new album, which is self-titled and self-released, representing the true artistic achievement Allen’s been able to accomplish over time; it’ll be birthed into the world on March 18th.

Andy Ferro Strums Through Some Folk Pop

Leave a comment

andyMaybe it’s me, but this new Andy Ferro is something really special. It looks back on pop songwriting from the 60s, stripping away a lot of the modern accessories in favor of a voice and guitar. At times, the guitar gets just a hint of fuzz, but nothing to overstep it’s role as an assistant to Andy’s vocal performance. This is Ferro’s first major effort, and Muirhead will be released via Rough Beast Records on Februrary 26th. I’m keeping an eye on this one, as I don’t see too many contemporaries for the young songwriter.

Fresh Pop Bliss from Linden

Leave a comment

bonesIf you missed last year’s Linden album, Rest and Be Thankful, then you missed something wholly special; it’s a celebration in the history of great pop music, peeling away layers to supply great track after great track. Luckily for us all, he’s accompanying his latest single with a brand new track, “Bones.” Admittedly, it’s not going to grab you and pull your head into the speakers, but instead will ask you why you haven’t been listening to Linden all your life…it’s a question I had to answer last myself last year. This is a Double A Side single being released by Slumberland Records and AED on February 5th.

Don’t Sleep on the Donkeys

Leave a comment

donkeysThe Donkeys have been one of the more consistently enjoyable acts to come across my computer in the last few years. There’s a simplicity to their approach, yet the vocals always seem to possess a certain tonal quality that sinks itself deep within my soul. They’ve been hard at work, as per usual, bringing a new mini-album to the fold. It’s understated pop music of the best sort, with just a hint of California sunshine and country twang. Want a good casual pop song for today? Then you should definitely spend time with this tune; Midnight Palms will be out on February 12th.

Album Stream: Nathaniel Bellows – The Old Illusions

Leave a comment

nathanWhile Austin seems to have evaded the gentlest clutches of Winter, I’ve foundmyself listening to tons of wintry folk tunes, but perhaps none sounds as complete as the new album from Nathaniel Bellows. The Old Illusions is filled with intricate little guitar details, and a voice that haunts the inside of your mind. Listen carefully throughout, as you’re going to find these little bits of accompaniment that make this album wholly enchanting and pretty inescapable. In a landscape where tunes get discarded for the next batch, this is something with which you can spend all day. I’ve been gravitating towards “At Sea” the most during my listening. Look for the album this Friday, January 22nd!

3 comments

softmoonFriday night one of our favorite bands will be gracing the stage for a nice set, and I couldn’t think of a better sound system to handle the wall of beautiful noise that The Soft Moon will bring to the table. The band, primarily the project o Luis Vasquez has been carrying a blend of noise, electronica and industrial pop for some time now, and he’s captivated us through several albums on Captured Tracks…and a nice set at Levitation/Psych Fest. Joining him on the stage that night will be Austin act, VIDEO, as well as Autlier. If you want a pair of tickets for free, leave a comment…pick a number between 1-1000. We’ll contact the winner after NOON on Thursday when the contest comes to a close!

You can also go the other route, and buy tickets from The Parish HERE.

More From Halfsour

Leave a comment

10572080_985151501527746_6691149212809745892_oNeed an energetic bounce in your step? You do…or at least I do. That’s why I kicked out this new Halfsour track for you, knowing we can all get things amped up in a good feeling way. This is the second single to come from the group’s new record, Tuesday Night Live, which is going to come out this week via Jigsaw Records. It walks that fine line between catchy pop punk and jangly post punk. I have a feeling once you get your hand on these songs you’re going to realize just how infectious the band really is. Turn this one up folks!

Austin Spotlight: Meet Tres Oui

Leave a comment

tresThe very first record I dallied with on our label was by a little band called Literature, who’ve gone on to great heights with Slumberland Records. But, recently, a few of the guys moved back to Austin and started this brand new musical project, Tres Oui…namely Nathaniel. It’s definitely similar in sound, though hitting more on his own personal influences and tastes in the songwriting. He tossed us this track the other day, hoping to spread the word on his new stuff, get the name out and start playing some shows about in Austin (and beyond). So folks, here’s Tres Oui.
