First listen of Iron & Wine’s new music arrived this weekend in the form of a single “Walking Far From Home.” A little different sound, shown off here as the normal unplugged work is replaced by a much more produced, synthesized sound. It produces a beautiful sound, and is a different side than one would normally expect. Purchase of the single will be available tomorrow on Iron & Wine’s Myspace.

Three Burger Records‘ Conspiracy of Owls are a band shrouded in mystery, there is little to no information on these guys. Melodic Beach Boys-esque rock & roll here; the track is fun, catchy and sunny. More Conspiracy of Owls Myspace | Facebook

As you might be able to discern from previous effort and released single, Heartbreaker, this EP is similarly, songs that are about relationships. The EP starts off with a fantastic track called ‘The Oh So Protective One,‘ a revisit to oldies that has a 50’s vibe and an amazing brass section that gives the idea of a ‘Prom Night for Broken Hearts.’ Heartbreaking track rightly named Heartbreaker is a perfect example…
Leave a CommentNerves of the Nightmind Frontier Ruckus may be a name you’ve heard, they might not be for that matter. But what’s important is that you hear their music. The folk inspired Deadmalls & Nightfalls got to my mailbox in late September, I’ve listened through multiple times, over and over again I felt like the album was totally worth sharing. I’ve had trouble getting the right words out, which seems to happen when I really enjoy something; it makes writing and talking about it all that more difficult. Frontier Ruckus’ Deadmalls & Nightfalls was named after an abandoned strip mall lead singer…

The EP was named from a special room at Prairie Studios in Cotati, CA called the “Waits Room” which was a former closet that Tom Waits converted for recording.

New songs include the bluegrass folk track “The Flood,” and…
Leave a CommentTrust Park the Van indie rockers, Generationals released an EP a few weeks back, entitled Trust. You may have heard their single Trust, I posted on it a few weeks ago. In their second release, Trust (EP), the band is transitioning from a jangling, sun-kissed sound to a more popcentric more hypnotic, textured, sound. Based on the success of their hit ‘When they Fight They Fight,’ Generationals flushed out their sound with feedback loops, drum-machine beats and throbbing basslines. “When They Fight They Fight” may be Generationals’ early-career success, but songs like “Victim of Trap” and “Carrying the Torch,” put Generationals on…
