Bandcamp recently posted an insightful interview with Nikki Lane in which they discuss her upcoming Feb 14th album, Highway Queen, her aesthetic and what it means to be an “artist.†That last bit could be deemed a little controversial because it openly recognizes a curated look and feel; both to the music and to the Nikki Lane persona. Does that make the entire undertaking insincere or just wisely crafted to appeal to a particular audience? That’s some good discussion for your next writer’s roundtable discussion.
Aside from that, take some time to watch the video for “Jackpot†and preview the song exclusives here.
Recorded with Pat Sansone (Wilco) and Billy Bennett (MGMT), the latest from Promised Land Sound is a psychedelic pop gem worth your time.Â
TODAY ONLY – get the demo’s and EP version of Chariots of Fire from the Apollo Up archives. All proceeds go straight to the ACLU (Bandcamp is donating their cut as well)
Watch the official video for Little Bandit’s “Bed of Bad Luck†off the forthcoming Breakfast Alone over on Rolling Stone. The video is accompanied by a nice interview in which Alex Caress discusses the subversive nature of the video.
A brand new band out of Nashville with bookings at Bonnaroo and a debut on Uproxx is sure to cause a little skepticism but the debut track from Welles is well worth a listen. What starts as a bedroom DIY bit of tinkering slowly grows into a pop explosion.
Tower Defense has released a b-side from their Stay Inside recording sessions entitled “Not Safe.†It’s in the same post-punk vein as the other songs from the EP but with a bit more lean in on the pop side of things.Â
Surprise! New album from lylas released today. You can listen to Warm Harm in its entirety on the streaming platform of your choice. You can also give “Number None†a spin if you’re not ready for a nine-song commitment.Â
The album features a slightly new lineup for the band from previous albums, which has resulted in a fuller sound and an even darker, brooding sound than ever before. Looks good on em.
On the whole, FOREVER is bring some solid straight ahead rock mixed with just the right dose of unexpectedly pleasant offbeat instrumentation. A crunchy 8-bit keyboard line mixed with a xylophone solo (â€Love in Tennisâ€) or an alarm-bell guitar line (â€Kismetâ€) are mixed effortless with jangly guitars and driving drums.
For the duration of 2016, Magic in Threes released one song every Friday. That ended up being 53 new tracks in total. They’ve compiled them all together for your listening pleasure.Â
As today marks the inaugration of Donald Trump as our 45th President, it’s fitting that Peter McCarville and Gezellig Records have released a new compilation entitled Is There Another Language? featuring the likes of Mount Eerie, Surfer Blood, Dean & Britta and Nashville’s very own Lylas.
All proceeds go to benefit the ACLU. You can read more about it here.
