Atlanta, GA-trio The Head are releasing their upcoming album, HANG ON, out June 21st. To go along with the album they’ll be touring this summer beginning the 1st of July. The first released cut from their upcoming album is Lady Lovely, a pop focused piano / guitar driven song with an infectious melody that has some Billy Joel-like feel to it.

Leave a CommentEDM – Stereo/Video Bloomington’s Early Day Miners stripped down their sound on their latest album, Night People which was recently released through Western Vinyl. The band has shortened their moniker to simply EDM and released this very stripped down sound that is reminiscent to me of a knopfler/dire straits kind of thing. Very Much digging this.

Portland, Oregon’s Typhoon has been getting some attention since the release of their EP, A New Kind Of House, out last month on Tender Loving Empire Records. This cut, Summer Home, is an orchestral and lush song befitting of such a large band. Its a beautiful mix of strings, brass, and percussion with a gentle vocal track all put together into one creates this very exciting sound and one that I’m supremely eager to see live this coming July at the Newport Folk Festival.
The band is about to set out on tour with the decemberists, and play Lollapalooza, our Newport Folk & Sasquatch Music Festivals.

Leave a CommentJ. Roddy Walston & The Business – Jesus Gonna Do His Best Taking in a J. Roddy Walston & the Business show is something that everyone should do. Their wild, frenetic energy and balls to the wall sound made them one of my absolute favorite acts to see live. In the video above for song Use Your Language you can get a sense of just how fun they are they’ve released a video featuring footage of their time in DC, Philly and Brooklyn. And to celebrate the release of this video, they are offering up a brand new track Jesus…
Leave a CommentVetiver – Wonder Why Vetiver – Can’t You Tell Indie folk outfit, Vetiver, is set to release their upcoming record, The Errant Charm on June 14. Paste got the honors of releasing the track, the second from the upcoming album. After hearing these two tracks, I’m supremely excited for this release. Each song has a really lush, and rich quality of airyness. They feel as though the songs float along without weighting you down; the perfect backyard summer lounging songs.
