We all love lists, and we all love sarcasm. Though, I think its important to reflect upon the last year of music, I’m going to do so through the use of a list. It was a fantastic year full of awesome albums, and I’m going to count down a bunch of my favorites, and give you something to listen to while reading. 35. The Elected – Bury Me in My Rings The Elected – Go For The Throat Blake Sennett (Rilo Kiley), made his way back into music with his band The Elected. Its a wonderful indie pop album that…

Floating Action – Desert Etiquette Floating Action – Rincon The dusty, jangly Desert Etiquette is Floating Action’s second release. The album has a great old feeling, its style is rather distinguishably indistinguishable, with elements of many styles,…

Country Mice – Twister Country Mice – Festival Brooklyn’s Country Mice don’t sound anything like a Brooklyn band, their sound is roughly a twangy indie rock band with dirt rubbed all over it. Its not glossy, but…
Leave a CommentMiike Snow – Devil’s Work Check out a brand new track from Miike Snow, “Devil’s Work,” a moody electronic piano based track that pulls from their old formula. What made their ’09 debut effort such a hit shows up once again, synth ornamentations that sort of jump out of nowhere, the build up on sound, the semi-danceworthy club elements, a driving beat, and some moody motifs all make this one whet the palette for more.
Leave a CommentBand of Skulls, are slated to release a sophomore album on Vagrant Records in February 2012, and we’re getting another taste from their upcoming album. Check out “Sweet Sour,” the title track off the upcoming album. “Sweet Sour,” a heavy riffed, blues rock drenched power ballad. This is exactly where I thought this album should go, just like their last, a total punch in the face of rock & roll. See you on February 21st. Facebook | Youtube | Twitter | Web
Leave a Comment[vimeo]http://vimeo.com/23889529[/vimeo] “Every Little Thing,” the first single off Soft Swells’ pop-friendly upcoming LP (out in February). Soft Swells is the collaborative effort of longtime indie songwriter Tim Williams and the talents of Brooklyn’s Phonograph, Matt Welsh. “Every Little Thing,” has a subtle California pop influence, and softly and tastefully incorporates electronic components, handclaps, and some huge percussion. Its a bit of an earworm of a track with a cool chorus line that will insert its sound into your head and you’ll be singing it in no time. Look for the album in February next year.

Leave a CommentJack Wilson – Valhalla Austin’s folk-pop songwriter Jack Wilson is on the cusp of releasing his debut album on Fluff & Gravy Records. As of March 6, 2012, the record will release and it will contain the sweet little dreamy love song “Valhalla,” a tenderly strummed and warmly sung folk/americana sound wrapped into this beautiful package. Its a bit grandiose and a bit tender and Wilson’s voice seems to perfectly fit the situation. If the rest of the album is this good I’m going to be one happy guy.
