Tuesday Treats

How about some new music for your Tuesday? Always a good thing, right? First up, a new digital 7″ from Faux Ferocious for I’ll Go Home / Get Out Of Your Town. It’s a bit more lo-fi / less garage-y than their previous offerings but good to hear them branching out.

So, the next full-length album from JEFF the Brotherhood will be entitled Hypnotic Nights and will be released on July 17th (via Warner Bros / Infinity Cat). However, you can preview four of the tracks via their new Hypnotic Knights EP right now. They’ll also have physical versions on tour available with a pre-order for the whole album. You can hear “Sixpack” here.

I don’t know anything about Murfreesboro’s Technikiller aside from the fact that they have song titles like “Marrio Karte”, “Baby is a Chest” and “The Smallest Positive Integer Not Definable in Under Eleven Words.” Historically, you should know that clever and silly song titles almost always catch my eye. Go listen to the experimental / math-rock / post-rock / instrumental undertakings here.

Rise of the Novelty Song?

Maybe there’s something in the air with the return of Tenacious D but recently I’ve noticed some more light-hearted faire popping up in the music streams about town. Here’s two of the finer contributions:

Amerigo Gazaway
I Can’t Get Off Of The Facebook

Typically the Gummy Soul crew puts out some extra thick soul or hip-hop numbers – like “Spring Came Early” – but occasionally they just bring out the fun, and sadly relatable, times. They even put together a pretty righteous video for the whole thing.

Shaky Voices
Grimey’s

Shaky Voices is no stranger to the amusing tune (see “Phil Collins Head“) but he added in an extra dose of sweetness in this ode to everyone’s favorite local record store. It’s teetering on that line between professed line and store jingle but, either way, it’s bound to be smirkfully enjoyed locally.
