Siberian Traps
A Strange Loop
Listen on Bandcamp

How many bands do you know of that could categorize their music as all of the following: Americana, Folk, Psychedelic, Rock and Roll? Probably not a ton. Siberian Traps feels that they hit all these points in their A Strange Loop EP and I can’t find a bit of room to disagree. I admittedly love the production quality – just above lo-fi and under glossy hi-fi and the songs are presented in a big wash of sound. I’d like to see how this holds up live and I may have my chance on March 25th at The End with their EP release party.

King Arthur
“Mattherhorn / Red Wagon”
Streaming Only

Do you recall the Murfreesboro band The Lake? They were included on Volume 23 of the podcast and released two excellent EPs – Have a Kick Ass Summer and Nothing Ever Happens and It’s Happening RIGHT NOW!. Since that time they’ve re-grouped, re-imagined and re-emerged with a changed lineup and a new name – King Arthur. Their first two tracks under the new incarnation are a delightful breezy affair featuring shared girl / boy vocals. It seems prime for summer listening – hopefully there’s more on the way.
