The Sour Notes Return with New Single
Our friends in The Sour Notes are currently working on the finishing touches for their forthcoming Middle Distance LP, and while we wait, they’ve filled in the musical gap with three brand new tunes for your ears. For my two cents, the band definitely feel like they’re perfecting their blend of noisier indie rock that has a tendency to bleed into a dreamier realm; think the folks in Guided by Voices covering Galaxie 500. Texas music fans get an added music treat, as 2 of the 3 tunes here feature additional vocals from Lauren Eddy of ATH faves El Lago. The A side delivers that rocking punch, while the B side delivers that pensive tune you’ve been seeking. Spend some time with our friends today, and if you’re in California, keep an eye out for a few shows at the end of May!

Lots of albums dropping just in time to make the year end lists, and here’s my favorites that came our way this week. I mean, we’ve already raved and raved about Ribbon Stage, which actually came out last week, but I was late on that game. Plus, I Was a King and the Smashing Times both have new records out that should be on their way to my house. No need for much to do, but here’s our faves.
