More New Music from Matt Kivel

Leave a comment

mattkivelThere are some songs, and albums for that matter, that just seem to fit right into your life.  For me, the work of Matt Kivel is perfectly fitting for my reflective summer away from work.  For instance, this latest single has this rolling drum beat, with lofty vocals floating atop, while varying layers of guitar work come into the fold.  Sort of reminds me of long summer road trips through the Northwest with nothing but the stars overhead.  His new album, Days of Being Wild will come just in time for you to take your own trip, whatever it may be; it’s being released on July 8th via Woodsist.

Mellow Jam from Fishing

Leave a comment

artworks-000081840303-ohzgq1-t500x500I’m on summer vacation, so I’m spending a lot of my time just relaxing.  With that comes a bit of chilled out musical vibes, and perhaps none is more fitting than this piece by production team, Fishing.  They’ve constructed this piece of movable pop, spliced with vocal samples that are really soothing.  There’s even a repeat bit of vocals at the end of the tune, making the song rise above your average electro-pop fare.  It’s a featured single on the band’s upcoming debut record, which will see a world-wide release on June 23rd.   The album is titled Shy Glow, and Create Control is the label behind the release.

Bratty Tune from EULA

Leave a comment

eulaRemember when the YYYs were a force to be reckoned with, musically speaking? Listening to this new single from Brooklyn’s EULA I get the same impression, though I think it could hit even harder had the band wanted to go that way.  The song’s propelled by a shouted vocal that operates over a discordant guitar chord ringing atop a bubbling little bass line.  Percussion here is rather low in the mix, but it creates this thrilling sense of anxiety that pulls the listener along.  It’s the A-side to the band’s new 7″ that sees a release from Bloodmoss Records on July 15th.

New Music from Reputante (FFF Fest Act)

Leave a comment

reputanteOkay, so maybe it’s just a tad early to start prepping your ears for Fun Fun Fun Fest, but this song is just too good to resist posting it right now.  Reputante will be heading into town in November, and they’ll be bringing a relaxed bit of swagger, a la the old school vibe of the Strokes.  There’s that same hint of drunken indifference in the vocals, though there’s more polish then Casablancas ever offered.  If they’ve got tunes this catchy, then we’re in for a great treat when they play our favorite little festival.  See if you dig this tune.

Another Jam from Street Eaters

Leave a comment

streetIt’s Friday, so I wanted to make sure you were excited about your weekend; I couldn’t think of a better way than to offer up this gritty, feel-good tune from Street Eaters.  In the wake of Jack White complaining about two-pieces, these two seem to have things down tight, with a jittery bass line and cymbal-infused drumming bringing plenty of hooks to the table. Megan March has vocals a la Vivian Girls, so you know there’s going to be a whole audience already waiting for music just like this.  You’ll be able to get their album Blood Muscles Bones on June 17th via Nervous Intent Records.

Austin Spotlight: The Big Fist

Leave a comment

geoffYesterday our friends over at RoA tossed up this great track from The Big Fist, which is the new project of Geoff Earle, who has been one of our long time Austin favorites.  He’s a super talented dude, and after the disbanding of his last group, Freshmillions, he seems to have found his voice again (you know, in case he ever lost it).  It’s a funky track with rad samples and a smooth vocal performance; it just goes to show that there’s hidden gems around every corner in Austin.  We’ll keep you posted on the band when more news comes our way.

More New Music from Alex G

Leave a comment

dsuThere’s a lot of music coming out right now, but none is more fascinating to me, perhaps, than that of Alex G.  He’s a crafty songwriter that has amassed a large following rather quickly, though there’s still quite a few who aren’t aware of his gifts.  He’s signed on with Orchid Tapes (another hit for the label) to release his album DSU; it’s filled with these carefully drawn musical vignettes, steeped in oddity and pop traditions.  This song is a touch more quiet than others, but it still encompasses that beauty that’s kept me enraptured. Order your copy HERE.

New Music from The Bilinda Butchers

Leave a comment

Autosave-File vom d-lab2/3 der AgfaPhoto GmbHIf you’re into lo-fidelity pop music or quirk-pop, you should really keep your focus on Orchid Tapes.  It seems like every band they’re supporting is incredible, and it looks to be the same from The Bilinda Butchers.  This group has a little bit more of a straight-forward approach, as opposed to an Alex G or Elvis Depressedly, but that makes the songs immediately accessible, using dreamy guitar lines and warm vocals.  You’ll be able to grab the band’s Heaven LP from the label on July 15th, so keep an eye out for more good tuens from the label.

Rivergazer Signs with Father/Ddaughter Records

Leave a comment

riverOur friends over at Father Daughter Records are building themselves quite an incredible roster, and they’ve just added another act you’ll want to keep watch on in the future. Rivergazer is the full band version of songwriter Kevin Farrant’s vision; it’s pop music at its simplest, which is often hard to pull of successfully. This short little number rolls in with a bit of bounce from the keys, and the vocals pushed way up in the mix.  If you’re looking for melodious pop music then you need look no further than Random Nostalgia, which has a street date of August 12th from FDR.
