Operators
On a tip from a trusted friend, this new track from Operators fell into my lap. Operators is the new project from Wolf Parade’s Dan Boeckner, and is the single from their upcoming debut record, Blue Wave. “Cold Light,” is a melodic, synth driven pop number, that’s anthemic
Harriet
Los Angeles’ Harriet have given us another taste off of their upcoming record, American Appetite, which hits your ears January 29th on Harvest Records. Their newest cut, “Bent,” is much more intimate, confessional sounding track that feels more like you are inside the head of the songwriter. The song cuts
The Donkeys
This song is exactly what you need when you are deep in the throws of a gray November day in Boston. The head-bobbing nature of “Down the Line,” intermixed with the near sun soaked (to an almost silly level) visuals on the video scream California, I mean there is no
!!!
New video from !!! (Chk Chk Chk) for their track “Ooo” which is a super fun look into the world of relationships, and how those common woes are universal, even in outer space. The video was done by Casper Kelly, who directed the viral “Too Many Cooks” video. It’s a
Lake Street Dive
This new cut from Lake Street Dive’s upcoming record, Side Pony, is a funky odyssey into the neo-soul, and I’m finding myself pressing repeat over and over again. Rachel Price’s voice is spot on, and the band seems to be picking up right where they left off
Eclecto-pop genius, yes I said it, Benji Hughes needs to be on your radar. He’s recently signed with Merge Records, and is releasing his record, Songs in the Keys of Animals. Fans of Hughes might have already had this record in their hands as Hughes self-released it digitally at
Radiation City
Sometimes it’s just best to go your separate ways when a relationship isn’t working out. But sometimes, sticking it out just a bit longer can bring forth some interesting results. As is the case with Radiation City’s founding couple, Cameron Spies and Lizzy Ellison who as their
The Great American Canyon Band
The Great American Canyon band’s music has always dipped into the ethereal, a vast soundscape littered with reverb, space, and a light-as-a-feather vocal track. “Crash” is the first song off of the Baltimore husband and wife duo’s debut LP “Only You Remain”, which comes out February 19, 2016
South of France
This new track from Denver, CO’s romantic dream-pop duo South Of France is one that’s been jumping out at me lately. It has a deluge of reverb-soaked harmonies, huge bombastic chunky basslines, that’s filled out with drums, synths and some lovely “oooooooohs.” When the song hits it’
Kevin Devine
Brand new tune from Kevin Devine off of a split vinyl single he did with Cymbals Eat Guitars. Feast your ears on “Magic Magnet,” an up and down rocker, that would seemlingly fit in well with his 2013 record, Bubblegum. The limited run ep’s are available on Bad Timing
585
Thursday night was a special night out for me, my first since my child was born, and one that I’d been waiting for since the day this concert was announced. For months since a fantastic set at Newport Folk Festival, I’d pined over seeing Rateliff and the Nightsweats
Josh Ritter
Ritter preaches us stories in the style of, “messianic oracular honky-tonk.” Upbeat rock, haunting songs of murderers, promiscuous teens, and sinners abound. It’s an adventurous, folk-rock album with a shiny veneer that hides behind it darker almost apocalyptic feelings with a humorous tone. Buy, Stream, Download now. * Reminds us
