The works of D. Striker always ride that line between subversive mockery and legitimate country homage. It’s often both but never has the balance been struck so perfect as with his latest – “Tailgate.” A rather catch-y piece of work that could be the next linedance phenomena if it hits the right audience. It certainly […]
another excellent demo from Caitlin Rose has found its way to her Soundcloud. As with “Gemini Moon” this is a heartbreaking piece of work that I’m shocked was cut to become a b-side. Â Really looking forward to whatever follows-up The Stand-In, because if this is a taste of it, I’m IN.
The first track from the forthcoming Natalie Prass debut self-titled full-length album is now available. I’ve read comparisons to Eleanor Friedberger but I honestly think that’s just the hair. It’s an interesting blend of pop, vulnerability and a dash of R&B. Loving this first bit of insight into a larger narrative of works.
Remember that preview track “Break Hearts” that recently debuted from How I Became the Bomb? Well, how about previewing the entire EP? It’s now available on Soundcloud. I am shocked and delighted.
I have one major complaint about the latest from The Subnovas – there’s nowhere near enough of it. Surprise! It’s not really a complaint. I am loving the space rock with a weirdo slint to it. Two songs is simply not enough.
It’s unfortunate that I can only hear the one song, Wayra, during Muir’s pre-order window for their self-titled album because I am certainly convinced that I’d like to hear more. It’s only a taste of their instrumental post-rock work but it manages to do quiet-to-loud with a little twist of upbeat energy and extra guitar […]
are raising funds for their next album and, unsurprisingly, turned to Kickstarter to raise awareness around the need. The video is a Wes Anderson-y affair with great camera moves and tasty Futura type – just as you’d want from The Nobility. They’re a great band and more pop gems from their camp can only be […]
I regularly browse the offerings of new “Nashville” music tagged on Bandcamp and, without fail, there’s always some new full-length record from R. Stevie Moore – the father of lo-fi pop greatness. I’ve never found a proper entry point into his massive catalog but seeing this collaboration with Jason Falkner pop up may just be […]
Surprise! Steelism has a rad new video for “Marfa Lights” that you pretty much have to watch immediately. Science! Directed by Copeland. (Source: https://www.youtube.com/)
I’m not familiar with the original creations of Bleed the Pigs but these two Nirvana covers certainly entice me to learn more. They are an onslaught of energy but still remain faithful to the originals (a compliment to their ability to pick proper songs to cover). I would see this live and be terrified – […]
I love the recordings of Jonny Fritz but the energy that comes from his live performances doesn’t always fully translate. So, it’s nice to have a proper recording spanning his last few albums. I mean, “Life a Bear” live just can’t be beat.
Another two tracks from the Dark Digest series have been released over on the Meadownoise bandcamp page. The above track, “Deafened by the Ring”, is a bit of a meta journey regarding playing live. The other track, “Think Like a Monkey”, is also available for your listening pleasure and MAY be about fatherhood – at […]
