Another new track from Jessica Lea Mayfield’s forthcoming album, Sorry Is Gone, debuted over on Stereogum. While it doesn’t have the visual accompaniment of a music video like the previous two songs, the song is possibly the most compelling of the bunch. There’s a warbly guitar part in there that really GETS me. (Source: https://www.youtube.com/)
Deeply saddened by the news of Jessi Zazu (Wariner) passing. It goes without saying that she was unbelievably strong in the face of the worst odds. Her work in Those Darlins, with Southern Girls Rock Camp and her visual art will be a long-standing testament to her will, talent and overall greatness. Read more about […]
Skyway Man, aka James Wallace, released his latest video from Seen Comin’ From a Mighty Eye over on American Songwriter yesterday. You can watch the beautiful mini-documentary through the cities and rural landscapes of Japan right here. (Source: https://player.vimeo.com/)
The new Tape Space “Single†is not a whole lot of actual NEW music, clocking in under 3 minutes, but given that  I’m still obsessively listening to the Power Up EP from back in June, any newness is a welcome treat.Â
I’ve come to expect a new song or two from Bravemaker every 3 months, so it was unsettling to see a five-month gap between releases! Fortunately, the new song continues the trend of pumping a pop song through a perfectly balanced DIY bedroom production sound with just enough flair to keep it interesting. The crunchy vocals […]
The debut EP from TV Sisters comes out of the gate extremely strong – bopping and exploding with energy at every turn. Vocal responsibilities swap between guitarist Josef Rumsey and bassist Michelle Sullivan, though the catchy pop-rock vibes never waiver regardless of the lead. The beauty of an EP is that there is rarely enough […]
The new Language EP from ONLY is filled with jangly pop songs and head bopping rhythms juxtaposed with lyrics yearning for good times. On “July†they even joyously call out “We All Die!†as they grapple with surviving this mortal coil. Honestly tho, it’s an enjoyable upbeat gathering of songs released just in time for the summer […]
I could write an extremely long-winded treatise on the dangers of nostalgia – revisiting particular times of life can either halt you from enjoying new things or, worse, ruin the thing that you thought you loved. But instead, I’ll say that it was a damn delight to see Daphne’s Operation pop up on Bandcamp. The […]
Did you know David Lynch used Nashville band Muddy Magnolias track “American Woman†as the introduction to a primary character in the latest mindfuck of TV; Twin Peaks: The Return? Granted, he slowed it waaay down and blasted out any reasonable EQ but he did use the song. Hear the Lynch version here and the Muddy Magnolias […]
Another excellent compilation of Nashville music. The variety of upbeat pop, soundtrack music, hip-hop and even an R&B soaked demo is a tough varietal grab bag to top.
The new album from Blank Range was released last week after a month of song previews and I’ve been settling in to the full-length experience. The band has been putting out bits of music since 2013 but this is their first long player. I went back through their catalog, starting with Phase II, to get an […]
I certainly don’t consider Mt. Juliet to be the first place to go for experimental ambient music but TheBack ParkingLot’s latest release, Occupying Physical Space, proves that Nashville’s (and surrounding area) still have plenty of surprises. The two tracks of this release span a 30-minute runtime, often resulting in a challenging listen. That’s not to […]
