New Jam from Doug Tuttle

TIM065.Doug.Tuttle.LPjktYou might recognize Doug Tuttle as one of the members of MMOSS, but you’re going to find a bit of a different feeling when you delve into the music he’s created under his own name.  I can still hear those sunny harmonic elements that were turned upside down with psychedelia, but there’s more of a focus here on the emotive pull that’s created by the percussion and the gentle vibe of the vocals.  You’ll also find a soloing guitar that works itself through the middle of the track, perhaps allowing Tuttle to hold onto his more experimental touches.  It’s a nice solid number, and you can grab it off his self-titled record, which is being released by Trouble in Mind Records on January 28th.

Meet Morgan Delt

MorganDelt_AlbumArtTrouble in Mind Records remains one of the most solid choices for a band looking to get signed.  They’ve got a unique blend of artists, though the all have some sonic similarities.  So, it’s no suprise that their latest signing, Morgan Delt, has his feet firmly planted in the history of California.  There’s bits of classic Cali pop, yet you’ll also find this lurking psychadelia that courses throughout.  He’ll be releasing his self-titled debut on January 28th, helping us keep things interesting to start off 2014. I’m interested to hear more from Morgan, and we wish him the best.

Fresh Jam from Jeffrey Novak

jeffI’ve been a fan of Cheap Time for some time, and I’ve really enjoyed the way the hardworking Jeff Novak has stepped out on his own.  There’s some obvious lineage between his main act and his solo act, but I think this new tune really demonstrates his ability to stand out on his own.  The delivery of the vocals on this song are really catchy, offering up a jangling swing.  Plus, there’s a bit of noisier elements that oddly remind me of the layering Neutral Milk Hotel used to employ.  He’s got a new album titled Lemon Kid coming your way on November 19th via Trouble in Mind Records.

Soulful Tune from The Liminanas

TIM060.Liminanas.CostaBlanca.LPjktUsually I’m not one to get into music sung in another language (it’s hard to relate ok?), but on this new track from French outfit the Liminanas, the group offer just a hint of English to grab my attention.  Oh, and I should probably mention that the track’s pretty special on it’s own.  While it has this really sinister moving moment that dictates the majority of the track, it also offers up a psych rock solo in the middle to mix things up.  I appreciate the group offering up more than just your traditional fare of the left-field genre, so in the end it’s easy for me to back what they’re doing.  The band will offer up Costa Blanca on November 19th via Trouble in Mind Records; it’ll be a reward for those who choose to step out of line.

You Guys Should Check Out Proto Idiot!

protoI first caught wind of Proto Idiot through the 7 inch Andrew released with Trouble in Mind Records; seems like that release fueled him, with more songs being put up as each month goes by.  For those of you who grew up with punk rock in your veins, I think you’ll really dig the work from this guy.  The songs are pretty simplistic in structure, yet the vocals have  that affected British drawl to it, which makes sense for a guy from the UK.  The tune below comes from Saturday Nights, but do yourself a favor by going back through the whole Proto Idiot catalogue.  I promise you won’t be disappointed.

New Jam from Woollen Kits

This past summer we tossed out one of the hits from Woollen Kits‘ most recent 7″, and now we’re more than happy to share with you a brand new track from one of Australia’s best exports.  The group is set to release their new album, Four Girls, on November 13th via Trouble In Mind Records, and I, personally, couldn’t be more excited about it. On this new single, you’ll hear a saxophone, adding a bit of classy smoothness to the group’s jangling rock n’ roll swagger.  If you’re looking for something to end your 2012 record purchases, I can’t suggest a better way to wrap up your year. This tune’s incredible.

New Jam from MMOSS

If you haven’t heard of MMOSS, then I suggest you trudge back in time and find yourself a copy of i; it was one of those records I honestly adored so much that I really didn’t share it with too many people.  Now, they’ve got a new effort coming out on one of my favorite labels, Trouble In Mind, and this first single is pretty remarkable if you consider the group recorded the entire upcoming album, Only Children, at home.  This first track from the LP has this rise and fall quality of sounds, yet it is able to hold onto this mesmerizing emotional pull that evolves just as the song does.  Definitely mark your calendars for November 13th, as you’ll get a chance to hear more from these New Hampshire lads.

Premiere: New Rocker from Woollen Kits

It’s about time for Woollen Kits to take over the US, completely.  After releasing their self-titled album on RIP Society, the band is back with a fresh new 7″, this time on the great American label, Trouble In Mind Records. The A-Side is titled “Shelley and it encompasses everything I love about the band.  There’s an effortless bit of swagger that has me imagining the band swinging their guitars about the stage; the usage of gang vocals gives the track a raucous feel—and then a sharp-edged guitar solo cuts through. One listen to this jam and you’ll be stomping your feet, begging for the release to come your way.  You won’t have to wait too long, as the single hits streets (with B-Side “Down Your Street”) on August 7th..so hold your horses; good things come to those who wait.

New Tunes from Apache Dropout

I’m always going to give a shout out to Trouble in Mind Records; they’ve got a really diverse catalogue, but typically it all dwells in the garage rock category.  Today, this new jam dropped from Apache Dropout kicking out the rock n’ roll jams with a psychedelic twist; I tend to think more along the lines of psycho-billy, at least when I’m listening to this song.  It’s got whimsy, choppy guitars and the album artwork has a hint of ghoulishness. If you dig this track, you can get a hold of the group’s new record, Bubblegum Lemonade, soon; it hits stores on August 7th.

Psych Fest Preview: The Paperhead (+ New Song)

Psych Fest is going down this weekend over on the East Side of town, and I wanted to give you a few bands I think you should check out.  The first band I’ve got for you is Nashville’s The Paperhead.  After releasing a wonderful self-titled record last year, they’ve got a new 7″ on Trouble in Mind Records this year; this new jam displays their blossoming maturity in regards to their songwriting.  You will find that it’s a lot less psychedelic than the last effort, almost coming off as the second coming of the Kinks or the Beatles (neither of which is a bad thing).  There’s still hints of darkness in the sound, but the writing’s lacks some of the frills.  Regardless, this a band that many have taken notice of in the last couple of years, and you should add your name to the list.

You can catch their set at 3:15 at Emo’s East on Saturday! And here’s one of their new tracks off that aforementioned 7″.
