New Music | Dan Mangan – Oh Fortune

Dan Mangan – Oh Fortune

Vancouver based singer songwriter Dan Mangan is set to release his new album Oh Fortune, as well as a US tour in support of the album.  Mangan’s sound is that of sincerity, and on this album a sense of increased maturity.  The current offering is his title track “Oh Fortune,” which shines with his gravelly voice and some understated musical arrangements that grow in complexity as the song goes on.  Its beautiful, emotionally driven, and if its any indication of the whole album, I think it will be a great success.

Oh Fortune (released 9/27 on Arts & Crafts) is available for Pre-Order along with a download of the title track from the album on Dan Mangan’s website here.

Video | The Highway – Set Me Free

[youtube]http://www.youtube.com/v/359vlsqryB8[/youtube] Check out video for Brooklyn / Boston band, The Highway’s “Set Me Free.”An energetic, indie rock that has some really catchy hooks.  The video is a total trip, with a 60s style & black and white illusion graphics goes well with their guitar driven throwback rock sound that reminds me of Sweden’s garage rock band The Hives.

New Music | Cass McCombs – The Same Thing

Cass McCombs – The Same Thing Cass McCombs is yet again releasing another album, Humor Risk, which was recorded in various homes and studios in California, New York, New Jersey and Chicago, and was produced by Cass and Ariel Rechtshaid, with whom he created Wit’s End, and Catacombs.  His first cut is the rhythmic slow burner “The Same Thing.” As usual for Cass’ music, I think it takes a while to sort of get into it, but “The Same Thing,” is another lonesome, folk number that goes along quite well with McCombs northern California cool breezy style, its a bit whimsical, and a tad drowsy, but good for…

New Music | Luke Temple – Ophelia

Luke Temple – Ophelia During the time Luke Temple from Here We Go Magic wrote their successful debut he was also writing a completely different album. Being referred to as “the Country Record,” Temple wrote Don’t Act Like You Don’t Care, a completely contrasted album to Here We Go Magic’s hazy aquatic debut. Shelved due to the success of HWGM’s self-titled debut, 3 years later, we’ve got this fantastic folk-pop country tinged album being put out on Western Vinyl. First cut of the record is “Ophelia,” a bouncy, folk-pop gem that feels rickety and organic, totally alive, and one that…

New Music | The Royalty – All Alone

The Royalty – All Alone Check out The Royalty’s All Alone, that could be pulled from a Ronettes LP.  The Royalty is an indie Rock and Roll fivesome from El Paso, TX whose music lives and breathes the same 60’s retro doo wop sound that I really can’t get enough.  “All Alone” is a track released off their debut eponymous full length, The Royalty and one that feels a bit retro but still has a lot of contemporary feel to it.  The harmonies sound great, the vocals soar, and your fingers will snap to this great number from an upcoming…

New Music | Ganglians – Drop the Act

Ganglians – Drop the Act

“Drop The Act” is the lead track on Ganglians new album Still Living, being released by Lefse Records on August 23rd. This is the third track released from the psych-pop album. It’s got a sunny nostalgia feeling to it, a beach boys-esque feel in the melodies; yet the hazy psych-pop we’re coming to expect from this band.

Catch Ganglians on a West Coast tour with labelmates Cuckoo Chaos.
