Weirdo Pop from Boys Age

Don’t know too much about Japan’s Boys Age, but with the help of Bleeding Gold Records, these weirdo pop tunes have found their way to me. It’s refreshing to hear someone take on an approach that shares similarities with the masses, yet making it their own. It’s like taking bits of Dent May, Tobacco and Of Montreal and giving them to a bedroom pop crooner; sounds familiar, yet completely in a world of its own. There’s another gem over at BG’s bandcamp…expect an LP coming soon!

ATX Spotlight: New Video & Album From Attic Ted

12798958_186031541774470_236675713616566310_nFor some crazy reason ATH has never posted about local Austin wierdo pop band Attic Ted. Well today that changes for the better as we share with you this awesome new video from the band and a link to their new album. The video, appearing on new album Parade Dust Mischief, is called “Next Time” and brings to mind this strange image of The Flaming Lips doing punk rock at the circus. That sounds like a good time to me. Have a listen, watch the video, and check out their new album in full via the link below.

Parade Dust Mischief is available in full over on the Attic Ted bandcamp page.
