Woodsplitter, the genre hopping side project of All Them Witches Ben McLeod, has another new instrumental album to indulge in. Like the previously released Journey Into Krautrock and Egyptian Overlord before that, McLeod picks a flavor and dives in deep, embracing the tropes of a particular style but always with his own enjoyable twist. May […]
I’m all for a maudlin, introspective, Christmas tune but sometimes it’s nice to get an infusion of upbeat pop-rock for the holiday season. Enter Two Chalfonts cover of Material Issue’s “Merry Christmas Will Do†– a seemingly happy song cut with melancholy lyrics if you’re paying attention. Two Chalfonts is John from The Lee’s of Memory […]
Start your weekend off right with the blazing new track “Eye Sinks†from one of Murfreesboro’s finest psych rock bands, Mouth Reader. I can only hope this means a full-length lies in wait for us in 2018.
Great to see Tristen keeping with her holiday tradition of releasing a new song in December. This years offering, “Crying on Christmas Dayâ€, is a somber number but well suited for a time of year where we reflect. This pushes melancholy to its limits, in the most pleasingly moving of ways. All purchases of the track […]
December is, historically, a time for reflecting on the year’s previous releases – a worthy practice if ever there was one. However, there’s still plenty of great recent releases that haven’t been highlighted on our show and that just simply will not stand. If the WOTT Music podcast is a time capsule of the great […]
Contemporary Tapes is a Nashville based label focused on highlighting releases from the experimental and vaporwave electronic genres. They’ve released albums from locals such as Palm Spring and Strange Æons but their latest release compiles songs from artists across the country to create a surprisingly pleasing, far-out Christmas album. Typically, Vaporwave and Christmas would seem to be two […]
Premiere: Λ°C – “R&R†Hear the track on Soundcloud or Spotify. Very pleased to premiere the latest single from Λ°C, aka Lambda Celsius, aka AC Carter. The title, “R&Râ€, usually evokes the phrase “Rest and Relaxation†but here the refrain is “Rhythm and Rhyme†– a lament about the stubbornness of the world around us […]
As everyone reflects on the Best of 2017, there’s plenty of good news about the future – particularly in regards to 2018 releases. Tape Deck Mountain just announced their next full-length, Echo Chamber Blues, will be released February 23rd and they’re taking pre-orders for the limited edition vinyl now. If you aren’t familiar with the […]
One of my favorite releases of 2016 was the oft-overlooked debut from Lionlimb, Shoo. The Elliott Smith-esque vocals and sublime production was always enjoyable. So, I’m excited to see that 2018 will see the second official release from the band in the form of the Tape Recorder EP. From the sound of the first available […]
The debut EP from Peachtea is a collection of quiet pop diddies led with melancholy vocals. Overall, it’s a somber feeling and pairs well with these colder months, reflecting on the previous year. Be sure to hit up “Pt. 1″ and “Rio Bravo†– certainly the standout tracks in my meager opinion.
Keeping the holiday train rolling along is this brand new diddy from instrumental duo Steelism covering “Linus and Lucy†from A Charlie Brown Christmas soundtrack, originally performed by The Vince Guaraldi Trio. It’s a surprisingly soaring number, given the source material. (Source: https://www.youtube.com/)
Tis the season for original and exclusive content! Amazon recently released this compilation, Indie for the Holidays, that features new recordings from local Jessica Lea Mayfield, JEFF the Brotherhood, Moon Taxi, and Langhorne Slim to name a few. The JLM song is actually a Loretta Lynn cover and the JEFF song is the most perfect […]
