[youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mmgwzmJVO7M[/youtube] Last month, I shared We Loyal’s indie-pop / synth track “Arch of Glass,” and they have just recently released a video for the stand out track. The video is visually striking and equally moody as is the track, all the shots seem to be taken within home aquarium, and there may or may not be some kind of attempted suicide. web | facebook | soundcloud

Mornin Old Sport – I Don’t Care If The Sun Don’t Shine
Check out bay area’s Mornin’ Old Sport’s cover of Mack David / Patti Page’s “I Don’t Care If the Sun Don’t Shine”, an old timey 50’s song that sounds as if it were recorded in a bedroom. The scene of old-timey folk seems to be in revival and Mornin’ Old Sport is doing their part in bringing back the early 20th century with their vaudevillian sound that brings back the past into a bright sunny package that feels entirely authentic and genuine.
Look for their new album in July titled, Misery Loves Co.
1 CommentManor – Afghan Hound A while back I posted about Australian duo Manor, and today the duo is back at it, releasing another single titled “Afghan Hound,” a moody electro pop track with a hypnotic beat and reverb drenched vocals. The follow-up to last year’s debut “Rhodesia,” “Afghan Hound,” was recorded in a Melbourne bedroom, mixed by Ned Cooke (Dappled Cities) with additional production by Lee Groves (Goldfrapp, Elbow) and mastered in Brooklyn by Joe Lambert (Animal Collective, Dirty Projectors.)

River City Extension – Welcome To Pittsburgh
Today, New Jersey’s River City Extension releases their second album, Don’t Let the Sun Go Down on Your Anger, a followup their fantastic record The Unmistakable Man. Leading up to this point, the band has released two of the tracks from the record, “There and Back Again,” and “Welcome to Pittsburgh,” two songs that are the prototype of sounds that come from this band. The former being a coalescence of folk sensibilities and the blast of punk energy that the band can display which seems to represent the bands earlier sound while the latter being a more streamlined sound and arrangements that seem to have been battle tested over the last year or two during touring. It’s a tighter sound, and one that seems to fit the band at well. It may be a slight departure for fans, but rest assured, its a great sound for this band, and shows the band maturing quite a bit, with the help of Michelini’s songwriting which also seems to be upgrading itself.
