There’s a new Birdcloud release, TETNIS, on the horizon and that means we can expect plenty more performance videos coming our way. Enjoy the first, “Vodkasodaburg.” (Source: https://www.youtube.com/)

Asher Horton – Mystery Bones

Posted Tue July 28, 2015

Asher Horton is better known for his work in Fox Fun but there’s something about this solo release that feels a bit less formal. It’s bedroom pop so it’s not overproduced but it’s still got a nice flair for the occasional flourish of sound. 

Benjamin A Harper - “Get Thee Behind Me”

Posted Mon July 27, 2015

Great video from the new Benjamin A Harper album – simple and appropriately reflective of the melancholy style and layered harmony. Don’t be fooled tho, the whole album is not this style – this is just but one of many approaches Mr. Harper investigates. An enjoyable style but not a one trick pony. Dive into […]

Benjamin A Harper – Get Thee Behind Me

Posted Mon July 27, 2015

Last Friday, Benjamin A. Harper released his latest solo effort, Get Thee Behind Me. The undertaking is a lush one – filled with harmonies, a wide arrangement of styles and something a little special in each song that pops out the more you listen (i.e. that vocal stutter in “Leave This Place Alone”) The output of Mr […]

Magic in Threes “Aztec Trippin”

Posted Wed July 22, 2015

The first preview track from Magic in Three’s full-length September album, Return of Magic in Threes.It’s the instrumental, R&B, funky, soul journey that you’ve been meaning to take for awhile.

Magnolia Sons “Run Baby Run”

Posted Tue July 21, 2015

Badass new video from Magnolia Sons depicting the liberation of women through the total beatdown of The Man. It’s an excellent homage to classic 60′s and 70′s action films, down to the desaturation and cheesy projection backgrounds.  (Source: https://www.youtube.com/)

The Breathe In, Breathe Out “Honey Guzzler”

Posted Tue July 21, 2015

My dabblings into the works of The Breathe In, Breathe Ou and their EP, Lungs, has taught me that “Honey Guzzler” is, for me, their finest jam. It’s dark, builds in tension and the vocals are as offputting as they are alluring. Honestly, it’s that somewhat manic style that kept me listening – I’d love […]

BUMMRcity – Endless Smokes

Posted Mon July 20, 2015

It’s interesting to hear a full fledged release from BUMMRcity. On one hand, it a bit more drug addled and lo-fi  than the prior “Freakout” track on their Spaghetti Split. On the other hand, its dumb to judge a band on the merits of a single song. Additively, there are some solid covers on this EP, […]

the Minor Toughs – Summer of `77

Posted Wed July 15, 2015

Who’s in the mood for some jangly guitar pop with just the right mixture of optimism and melancholy in the vocals? You are, that’s who! The new Minor Toughs EP offers a nice bit of variety in just three short songs – jangly pop, introspective musings and big thick rock. Be sure to wait for “Way […]

Traveller – Nobody Makes It Out

Posted Mon July 13, 2015

take Corey Chisel, Jonny Fritz and Robert Ellis and you’ve got Traveller. Their first song is a simple one but showcases their talents well. Looking forward to more. (Source: https://www.youtube.com/)

lylas “Sensual People”

Posted Thu July 9, 2015

Listen to the first track from the forthcoming Warm Harm album. Primary lylas creator Kyle Hamlett says the song came to him in a dream, fully formed. That’s a helluva dream.
