Unwed Sailor Announce High Remembrance
Back in my early 20s, we spent a lot of time listening to Unwed Sailor, driven by Johnathon Ford’s role in bands like Roadside Monument (and Pedro the Lion). He’s kept at it throughout the years, with an uptick the last five or so years in his output. This week the band announced their newest LP, High Remembrance, and it brings with it this really incredible dose of kind of post-punk-post-rock. The visual is the perfect accompaniment, the waves of the song matching the waves lapping the shore; both vide and songs are all about great vibes, which bodes well for the new LP. High Remembrance is out May 8th via Current Taste.
For some reason or another, we were rather preoccupied with the Austin goings-on, so perhaps we didn’t cover as much as we might have liked. I’ll be circling back through this week to try and get as much of it up as I can. But, we did have some really solid jams…and a few premieres…or whatever you call it. I was definitely feeling a little electronically inclined, covering new stuff from Maria Chiara Argiro and Cong Josie. Got blown away by the new Lightheaded track, not to mention fawning over tunes from Kindsight and Mammoth Penguins. Oh, and speaking of premieres…we had a new Unwed Sailor and a live cut from The Wind-Ups. Check them below.
Sorry for taking off yesterday, but we’ll be honest, this site’s run by folks in the education field, so when we’re granted a rare day off mid-semester, you better believe we’re hanging with our families! But, here I am with hopefully a link to last week to set you up for this week. We covered perhaps too much music last week, getting 28 songs on the mark, and I was super stoked to hear that both Parsnip and Mammoth Penguins were back in business…with new albums heading our way. Plus, Kindsight gave us another sparkling single from their forthcoming LP via Rama Lama Records. I’m in on new Bolis Pupul, so we’ve got that, plus Unwed Sailor have a new release…there is maybe too much new stuff out there! Just take a listen!
