Another New Jam from Swearin’

October 4, 2013 nathan.lankford Leave a comment

Just a short bit ago we had this incredible tune from Swearin rocking on our stereos, and they’re back at it again a few short weeks later. This song opens up really softly, then opens up with this shredding guitar line and a more frenetic pace. Allison Crutchfield has the perfect voice for this sort of music, it’s got a bit of polish to it, yet it still has this strained sharpness that gives the tune, and the band, a solid edge. Their album Surfing Strange will be out on November 4th via Wichita Recordings.

Cate Le Bon Wins Again with New Single

September 11, 2013 nathan.lankford Leave a comment

I was amazed at the first live set I caught of Cate Le Bon a few years back. I found her effort following that good too, but I get the feeling this new release is going to be pretty great. On the latest single she takes a really laid back approach, allowing the groove to sit calmly in the foreground while her marvelous voice operates all around. Then there’s this angelic backing vocal that comes in just before the 3 minute mark; it’s just a beautiful touch. Her latest effort Mug Museum will be out on November 12 via Wichita Recordings.

Gentle Pop from Cate Le Bon

August 29, 2013 nathan.lankford Leave a comment

God, I just absolutely love Cate Le Bon. When I first caught her live, I was mesmerized by the strength in her voice, despite walking on stage with little more than a guitar and a microphone; it was a feeling I think was shared by many. Cate’s back now with a brand new single, featuring the marvelous voice of Perfume Genius to accompany her. It’s such an unassuming beauty that I think I’ll play it throughout the day, and I hope you do too. She’s teamed up with Wichita Recordings to release her latest collection of songs, Mug Museum, which will see a release on November 12th; if it’s all this good, it’s going to be something truly special.
