New Music | Middle Brother – Middle Brother

Middle Brother If you haven’t heard of them, Middle Brother, is made of Deer Tick’s John McCauley, Dawes frontman, Taylor Goldsmith, and Delta Spirit frontman, Matt Vasquez.  Together they form a young supergroup that I couldn’t be more excited to hear them play together. The second track was released on Brooklyn Vegan today, and its really fantastic a fast paced raspy romp that’s going to be on repeat for the rest of the week. 3 tracks have been released on this album and I couldn’t be any more excited.  March 1st seriously can’t come fast enough. Their self-title debut will…

Review | Floating Action – Desert Etiquette

Eye of a Needle Rincon Named after a vintage Gretsch bass drum pedal, Floating Action is the pseudonym of Black Mountain, North Carolina-based musician, songwriter, and producer Seth Kauffman. Self-written, performed, produced and recorded, today marks the day Kauffman releases second album Desert Etiquette. Titled for a Middle Eastern legend in which it is proper etiquette to leave a drinking vessel for the hypothetical next traveler near a remote oasis, Desert Etiquette is a dusty, stripped down sonic journey that is remarkably great to listen to. The album has a great old feeling, its style is rather distinguishably indistinguishable, with elements of…

New Music | Timber Timbre – Black Water

Timber Timbre – Black Water by Arts & Crafts

Remember that creepy intro video for Timber Timbre?  Well they’ve released a track off their upcoming album, ‘Creep on Creepin On’ (awesome title) which is out 4/5/11.  The single, ‘Black Water’ is a stripped down, haunting,  downtempo number that is sure to chill you to your bones.  It’s cinematic in nature, and kind of unnerving but totally awesome.

The digital single will be available for purchase via GalleryAC.com and iTunes starting tomorrow, February 15.

PRE-ORDER Creep On Creepin’ On is available in North America April 5 on Arts & Crafts.

Timber Timbre will also tour this album this spring:

New Music | The Bynars – How Does it Feel to Be In Love?

How Does it Feel to Be In Love Synth Pop band from here in Boston, the Bynars could possibly be one of the most fun bands around.   Today they released Valentines track ‘How Does it Feel to Be in Love’  for sale / name your own price on bandcamp.  The song is super catchy, fun, and highly repeatable.  I’ve been a big fan of these guys for a few years now and really never get sick of their ‘Party All Nite’ EP, and I am really looking forward to hearing their upcoming LP which is coming sometime this spring.…

The Barettas – Touche

Touche Hamilton Ontario’s trio the Barettas recently popped into my radar, as they’ve released a 7″ for free on their bandcamp and I couldn’t help but share this one.  It’s sort of a garage, rockabilly post punk band.  Super catchy, fun to listen to and full of energy.  Check it out. http://www.myspace.com/thebarettas

Paul Dempsey plays Cafe 939 tonight

Out The Airlock Paul Dempsey may not be the tallest man on earth, but he’s sure close.  Seriously, he’s like 7 feet tall.  He is the lead singer and artistic force behind Australian band Something For Kate, releasing his debut solo album here in the states.  I’ve seen Paul once before when he opened for Jenny Owen Youngs a few months back.  For sure, standing on stage Paul is a presence because of his stature.  But when you hear his voice, his honesty in his music, you hear an intimate and wistful set of songs that are personable and gripping.…
