Dreamy Shoegaze from Overlake

Leave a comment

overlakeThere’s two sides of sheogaze being tossed around these days: the heavy and the soft. For Overlake, it seems like they’re taking on the softer side of the genre, unleashing their own wall of buzzing guitars when necessary. But, they also hold back from time to time, allowing listeners to immerse themselves in the songs before being flung back into the fray of the chorus’ frayed guitar sound. This tune is featured on the band’s new single, which is just being released this week on the new Travelogue 7″, so be sure to get your hands on it while you can.

New Video from Goon Sax

Leave a comment

11882826_971361752910446_5753706099835439845_oSeeing as we’re nearing the end of the year, this video from Goon Sax comes at just the right time. The video serves as a reminder that we should all be on the look out for the band as they prepare for the release of their new record, Up To Anything…slated for a 2016 release via Chapter Music. It’s a pretty rad little video, with the narrator coming via the band doing a little walkabout.  Feel free to file this tune under things you’ll never get out of your head…or my head. We’ll keep you posted as more news comes our way for the final release.

EZTV Cover Chris Knox

Leave a comment

EZTZ-Calling-OutI’m not typically one to discuss cover tunes, but seeing as this song involves two of my favorites, Chris Knox and EZTV, I feel like it’s justified. EZTV is one of the various acts that really caught me this year, and they definitely do justice to one of Knox’s most popularized tracks. It’s all in honor to celebrate that Captured Tracks (the label of EZTV) will be reissuing Knox’s catalog, including some of his work with Tall Dwarfs. I guess the best thing about a cover is that it encourages you go back and dig through your records, or it opens doors for new listeners. Either way, you can’t go wrong listening to this track, or to either of the band’s (people) involved.

Austin Spotlight: Jonas Wilson Pens New Tune

Leave a comment

jonasI feel like I know a lot of people about town, but even despite all his various works, I was pretty unaware of Jonas Wilson until the other day. That changed when his new single, “The Bleeder,” leaked out to the Internet world, catching my ear. I think there’s a really smooth touch to the production, providing a soft touch to a song that really seeks to slowly pull at the listener. I’m a huge fan of all the little notes and musical touches that are placed in the background, adding some density to the song. As of now, it’s a one off single, but worth your time today.

Soaring Beauty from Over Sands

Leave a comment

over-sands-press-photo-2I just wanted something that felt like drifting, something that felt like floating away. Luckily, this Over Sands track sort of carried itself into my inbox, bringing with a huge sound and this twinkling bit of beauty. It’s the sort of tune that drowns out the world around you, clearing your thoughts away…just sink into the track. Be it the electric wash or the airy vocals bursting through your speakers, you’re going to give in to this number. You’ll be able to hear this one on the project’s debut EP, which comes out late November courtesty of B3SCI.

I Want You All to Meet Guy Blackman

Leave a comment

guy-blackmanA long time ago I met Guy Blackman at SXSW; he was working with our favorites The Crayon Fields/Twerps (he’s the head of their label) and checking things out in our city. I have to say, he was one of the most down-to-Earth and genuine people I’ve come across. And in that, it’s led to a lot of acclaim and success for the bands on his label, Chapter Music. But, he’s also been making music on his own account for a long time…and he just released a brand new track yesterday. It’s a smooth synth-pop jam, providing a solid groove that allows for Blackman’s voice to carry the rest of the song. Pop fans clamor for hits like this, and you’ll be able to get your hands on it as part of Kingfisher Bluez Buddy System Singles Club. What better way to kick back on a Friday than with this ridiculously rad jam?

Check This Beautifully Dark Wall of Death Sound

Leave a comment

wallofdeathYou’d think with Wall of Death as the band’s name that you’d get something dark and heavy. You do, except it comes in via the emotional pull of the track, rather than the music. When listening to the song itself, you find yourself in a strange place; it’s a place that revolves somewhere in the space between Air and a more ghostly Fresh and Onlys. I know, it sounds pretty ridiculous, in a good way, but you’ll have to take a listen to hear precisely what I heard on my first several run-throughs. This tune is the title track to their new album, Loveland, which hits on January 29th via Innovative Leisure.

Eleanor Friedberger Returns!!

One comment

eleanor-cropped-pantsI’ve always been enchanted by Eleanor Friedberger, ever since I caught her and her brother back in the day at a local record shop in town. Her music, as well as that as her other project (Fiery Furnaces) has always seemed to change and be molded to fit various whims…yet it’s always been interesting. Today, news broke via varying sources that she was putting out a new solo effort on January 22 of next year; it’s titled New View. Her voice in this track, and actually the track itself, sounds like a Neko Case penned New Pornos song; there’s a great bit of accompaniment, but Elanor is clearly the star. Didn’t expect this, but definitely made my day.

New Indiepop from Postal Blue Track

Leave a comment

11950409_10153316561218409_2287393894174405588_oYou’re best served by having friends on the Internet that have great tastes, that way they can share with you, like the news I caught the other day about new music from Postal Blue. The Brazilian project hits it out of the park with this steady indiepop gem, forcing warm vocals through the speakers with a  jangling guitar keeping things steady. It still amazes me sometimes how individuals can craft such beautiful pop music all on their own, creating such timeless songs…so hats off to Adriano here. Look for his album, Of Love and Other Affections, in early November from Jigsaw Records.

Meet the Deadline Shakes

Leave a comment

deadlineshakesFor those of you who’ve been following our little site for the last several years, you’re going to immediately hear why I’m really in love with Glasgow’s The Deadline Shakes (aside from their place of residence, of course). Musically, they’ve got a frenetic guitar jangle, but the vocal delivery is what sold me on this act. They deliver a charm in the vein of Literature or PoBPaH, filled in with some perfect backing vocals. Their debut LP Zealots is going to be released in November via Flowers in the Dustbin, so take notice now before it’s too late.
