New Music | Princeton – To the Alps

The Alps Check out new single from LA electro pop band Princeton.  Its been nearly a year since I’ve heard anything from them.  I originally posted on their track The Waves back in April of 2010.  A little bit different of a sound here, more electro-pop rather than their previous sunny, west coast surf pop.  This single and another will be released in late march via Hit City USA. http://www.myspace.com/princetonmusic

New Music | Junip – Näckrosdammen

Junip – Näckrosdammen by Mute Artists Junip today released Näckrosdammen, an instrumental piece in anticipation of the release of a new digital EP featuring “in Every Direction”, a few new songs and remixes.

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.

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:

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.…
