Check out the super-catchy, “Storm,” the second single off of Django Django’s self titled record. It’s a bit of a psychedlic pop stomper, with the plodding bassline, the sort of monotone vocal delivery and distant percussions create an adventurous sound that is really interesting and makes the song feel almost off the cuff.

Check it out, and grab their fantastic self title album.

It features Mercer dying and giving his kids the home to whomever finds the deed, hidden somewhere inside the home. I don’t want to ruin, so just give it a watch. The band’s forthcoming Port Of Morrow, which can be pre-ordered now at http://www.theshins.com/shop and is out March 20 on Aural Apothecary/Columbia.
Leave a CommentThe Great American Canyon Band – Tumbleweed Chicago based husband and wife duo Paul and Krystal Jean Masson make up The Great American Canyon Band, and are about to release a self-recorded 7″ from their debut album, which was recorded in a gutted house in Chicago. Their ethereal sound feels like a stripped down, Band of Horses, the gossamer, reverbed vocals and wide spatial palette feels desolate, and spacey, with a hint of country tinge through the use of two old acoustic guitars. Its a really gorgeous, special sound that feels extremely distant as it dips in and out of…

1 CommentDownload Sebastian Reptar has just announced that their debut full-length album, Body Faucet, will be released May 1st via Vagrant. Produced by Ben Allen (Animal Collective, Gnarls Barkley, Washed Out), the new record is the follow up to the group’s debut EP Oblangle Fizz Y’all. Give the first track “Sebastian,” a listen and I think you are going to be extremely happy and hooked on it. The afro-beat and happily jangly style is all over this, its bright, sunny, and extremely hookworthy. Plan on spending a bunch of listens on this one, and I’ll do the same.

Lee Bains II & the Glory Fires – Centreville
Sometimes a fella just needs some rock and roll. Irreverant, loud music that transports you into a more rebellious sense, the kind of radical rock and roll the Stooges played. Alabama’s Lee Bains III & THe Glory Fire have swagger, and cockiness in spades. The lead single off their upcoming album, There Is A Bomb in Gilead, jumps at you from the very second you turn it on. “Centreville,” is a little bit southern rock, that has a lot of the raucous energy that is needed in rock.
There Is A Bomb In Gilead hits stores May 15th and will be available on CD, Digital and Black Vinyl with with lyric sheet and download card. In addition, there will also be a very limited pressing of 500 Purple Vinyl albums with lyric sheet and download card exclusive to mailorders.
