Truth Brand new track from frontman Alexander Ebert (Edward Sharpe & the Magnetic Zeros / IMA Robot) entitled Truth. I’m not sure whether it will be attached to a solo project or not, but it’s definitely a cool track, and worth listening to if you enjoy the Edward Sharpe stuff.

Leave a CommentBest Coast’s album, Crazy for You, was a summer gem, and they’ve finally kicked out a video for single, Boyfriend. The video follows a young teenager on her 15th birthday dreaming about a boy. It’s all pretty basic, no wild concept, but it’s nice to hear the song refreshed again. I really enjoyed Crazy For You, had a lot of fun listening to it, and it was perfect for lazy summer days. As for the fall that is upon us, you should considering checking out the album, get in a few listens on lazy rides in the car. Check out…

2 CommentsAfter his breakout in 2009, throwback soul singer Mayer Hawthorne is on a national tour with backing band The County, and headed our way. Mayer’s sound is an authentic brand of neo-soul that proves his Motown background, which is exemplified in his popular debut A Strange Arrangement, which quickly became one of my favorite albums of the last two years. Though he played almost all of the instruments on the album, Mayer is accompanied on the road by The County, a full backing band that tactfully fleshes out Mayer’s compositions in person. Mayer Hawthorne & The County are joined by The Heavy…

Leave a CommentTidelands is the shimmering, new folk / americana album from the Moondoggies, a Seattle based quartet. The album is a fragile indie folk harmony driven album that will have you digging deeper and deeper each time. Whats great about this album, is each song seems to flow into the next, it’s got a great feel from beginning to end. To reiterate what it seems like everyone is saying, they wrote this album, as an album. A full album that each song is integrated to create a sum of parts, rather than parts making the sum. The album begins with single,…
1 CommentAndrew Bird – Hot Math On October 25, Andrew Bird will release Useless Creatures, an instrumental album which will include 9-tracks featuring guests Wilco’s Glenn Kotche and Todd Sickafoose. “Hot Math,” available as a free download from Bella Union. ‘Hot Math‘ is a lo-fi recording I made myself in my barn,” Bird said in a NY Times column last year. “It’s an example of a West African polyrhythmic groove I’ve been into for years and in this case I was clearly enjoying myself. This is elusive stuff. It just doesn’t work by choreography; you just have to be in the right mood.”
2 CommentsEau Claire, Wisconsin’s Meridene just released the follow up to their 2008 debut album, You’re Not Pretty. The aforementioned album, entitled Something Like Blood, is something of a power pop gem. Simply put, this album is really good. Something Like Blood was recorded at the home-studio of Bon Iver, April Base, in the Northwoods of Wisconsin. Meridene also found support from fellow local musicians. The album was produced and mixed by Brian Moen (Peter Wolf Crier) with T.W. Walsh (formerly of Pedro The Lion and The Soft Drugs) mastering. The hook on the album is one I’ve been listening to…
