It’s December 1st, which means you have roughly 25 days to completely immerse yourself in the enjoyable ridiculousness of David Argyle Thacker’s Mouth Trumpet Christmas. It is exactly what it sounds like from the title and “Jingle Bells†has never been more delightful. Thacker lives in New York now but we are indebted to him for […]
There’s always something oddly familiar about a Reno Bo release. Maybe it’s his vocal style that feels like a late-era Beatles production or maybe its his artwork that gives a heavy nod to the simpler graphic design of the 60′s and 70′s or maybe its his simple, catchy, songwriting. Sometimes it can be a bit […]
I love it when bands tag themselves on Bandcamp as a means of describing their sound in extremely specific ways. The debut release from duo Part Time Filth is tagged with “Shit Popâ€, “Drum Machine Popâ€, “Brown†and “Ween†– an altogether accurate description of their sound. Much like Dean and Gene Ween’s earlier works this is distorted, lo-fi […]
Just a quick reminder that the latest full-length from The Lees of Memory, The Blinding White of Nothing At All, is officially released. They had previously completed a successful PledgeMusic campaign that put the album into early backers hands quite awhile back but now it’s available for all to hear. If you haven’t heard the band […]
Some music lends itself to particular seasons and types of weather than others. While there’s only two songs to go off of, the debut offerings of Golf Party seem to lend themselves quite well to the cold mornings of a wintery season. “You’re Cold†is a quiet, ruminating number and “Narcisstic Optimistic†steps up the DIY bedroom […]
It’s a Thanksgiving miracle! The latest edition of the podcast tallies up some recent releases and continues to showcase the diverse talent our fair city has.
Get a quick dose of garage rock from Cheap Time’s latest 7″ - “Goodbye Age†b/w “Soon Over Soon†released via Orlando, FL. label Total Punk Records. Be sure to stick around for the b-side, as it’s got a choppy new-wave-snear thing going on.
I’m definitively behind on hearing the latest full-length from Soccer Mommy, aka Sophie Allison, but am glad to encounter it in November rather than August when it was released. The Fat Possum release, Collection, is a more produced version of the bedroom musings that Allison has released previously but it’s still a, mostly, introspective endeavor fit […]
If you aren’t familiar with director Kogonada, I suggest taking a deep dive into this Indiewire piece and learning about his history and his journey to becoming a full-fledged filmmaker. His debut, Columbus, has received rave reviews from the likes of The Nashville Scene to NPR to a 97% positive rating on Rotten Tomatoes. All that […]
There’s a massive catalog of live performances in the Audiotree Live catalog from a variety of bands, including some excellent performances from our Nashville friends. Here’s a few worth diving into: Sun SeekerSkyway ManPenicillin BabyKansas Bible CompanySoccer Mommy I’m sure I’m overlooking more of them but the above list is a great place to start. […]
It’s been a minute since we heard from Joshua Moore’s one-song-a-month project, V to Z, but he’s back with “Artificial Deadâ€. It’s hard to say what genre any of these tracks exist in but I’ve always given them kind of a Mike Patton Pass; they’re all over the place but have some undercurrent of consistency regardless […]
The big riff sound of Sad Baxter is part of the 90′s resurgence movement that bands like Bully, The By Gods and others have tackled full force. This isn’t a knock on them but, rather, just an apt description of the influences they’re drawing from. The latest 7-inch, “Baby†b/w “Silver†continues that sound with explosive force. […]
