Jenny & Johnny are Having Fun Now

Posted on September 2, 2010 by Music Savage

My Pet Snakes
Scissor Runner
Big Wave

It’s hard to endorse a perfect duo such as Jenny Lewis & Jonathan Rice.  Especially when you’re in love with Jenny Lewis.  I’ve had a big crush on her, she’s an indie rock darling, she’s cute, she makes great music, and unfortunately she’s taken.  Sigh.

Regardless of how I feel about her, its her music that is truly important here.  What appears on this album is a connection of two energies, that creates a lot of fun music.  At this point you’ve probably heard, Big Wave, and Scissor Runner.  Two solid singles, that were probably easy choices to release.

In digging deeper, I find that by far my favorite track off the album has to be My Pet Snakes.  I think the reason I like this song so much is the back and forth dialogue vocals between Jenny and Johnny.   It seems as though the two are arguing back and forth, and gives an interesting dynamic.  Despite that, its set to a fun 60′s vibe, which seems to be a huge wave of influence for artists lately, jangly guitars simplistic rhythmic elements and an emphasis on harmonies.

There is a lot more to find on this album, much to my chagrin, its clear that these two were meant for each other.  I’ll settle for just listening to what they have to say.  This is a clear summer album, that for whatever reason was released in September, and may be its only downfall.

Get out and buy I’m Having Fun Now

The Morning Benders – “All Day Day Light” from Jack Ferry on Vimeo.

Big Echo, the Morning Benders’ newest album came out months ago, and its really great; it has some of the best moments on any album I’ve heard this year.  And now that they have re-highlighted a track that I really enjoyed, I’m forced to give Big Echo another listen.

Check out the video for their track All Day Light, and if you haven’t already, get out there and buy Big Echo.

The Drums: Down By the Water video

Posted on August 30, 2010 by Music Savage

The Drums new video for their track Down By the Water seems to be a video for a early 60′s based Happy Hands club.  The song has a slow chilled out echo vibe that’s good for listening on these last days of summer.  Check the video, and if you want grab the mp3 as well.

Hear Down by the Water.

Pete Yorn released a new single for his upcoming self titled album.  The album will release on September 28th, from Vagrant Records.  The single, Velcro Shoes, is a stripped down rock song about the thrills of childhood, including velcro shoes, tree houses and go karts.  It’s a fun, freewheelin, jangly song thats certainly going to provide for a fun ride in the car.

Edward Sharpe & the Magnetic Zeros’ Janglin (RAC Remix)

Posted on August 28, 2010 by Music Savage

Janglin (RAC Remix)
Home (RAC Remix)

This came across my desk just in time, and it’s definitely one you should check out, before you head out for the weekend.  Edward Sharpe & the Magnetic Zeros’ performance at the Newport Folk Festival was one of my fondest memories of the weekend.  They are one of the most dynamic acts out there and their album Up From Below is definitely on the top of my list of best albums of the last year.

Janglin, was definitely one of my favorite tracks, and it was very cool to see it get this kind of treatment.  The RAC remixes are always very cool, and this one is no different.  It takes an already great song and gives it a fresh twist.

Buy Edward Sharpe & The Magnetic Zeros‘ Up from Below, for only $2.99 on Amazon.

Also, don’t forget the Edward Sharpe is still on tour, their show is definitely worth seeing.
