There’s only so many positive things you can say about one man and one band. Ted Wendler and Mansions on the Moon strike again. Count this as another MotM song I’ll be listening to on repeat. So smooth. Mansions on the Moon – “Rest Of Your Days” [MP3] Mansions on the Moon on Knox Road |… Continue reading [MP3] Mansions on the Moon: “Rest Of Your Days”

Bogan Via
Bogan Via is a duo out of Phoenix that makes my heart go aflutter. Madeleine Miller’s sweet falsetto is gently contrasted with Bret Bender’s raspy baritone. The songs heavily rely on the duo’s vocals, but the angelic instrumentation also makes me swoon. Also, these words from Bender make it that much sweeter: About four months… Continue reading Bogan Via

Brae
Brae is Brandon Husken, who’s been in the music scene for 22 years but has recently rediscovered himself as a singer/songwriter. His forthcoming album, Another Time and Place, marks his third full length as Brae, but it’s his first real effort into getting the word out there about the project. Husken is a multi-instrumentalist, specializing… Continue reading Brae
Leonard Friend
One of my New Year’s resolutions was to be more open with my music taste, as I was pushing away certain bands because of their descriptions not “fitting my aesthetic.” What the hell does that even mean?? Who am I? Certainly not important enough to be thinking like that. I’M SO SORRY. To correct my… Continue reading Leonard Friend
the star department
During my short blogging absence (I mixed in a few posts here and there, but I took a nice little break from the grind over these past couple weeks), I was able to listen to music I’ve missed from 2011 and music I’ve missed from being a crazed music blogger in general. This entails music… Continue reading the star department
[MP3] Warm Weather: “A Promise”
I love that Warm Weather is releasing an EP (Looking Through) in January. Last time we spoke about the trio was in June, so it’s good to know the LA fellas have a little sympathy for what we’re going through in the colder places of the world. Check out the promo track for Looking Through below.… Continue reading [MP3] Warm Weather: “A Promise”
Notable Album Release: Pontiak – Echo Ono
Clear your calendar, folks! February 21, 2012 brings the release of Pontiak’s new LP, Echo Ono, on Thrill Jockey. The first track from the album is called “Lions of Least” and demands to be heard. It steps away from the more psychedelic sounds of this summer’s Comecrudos and veers more toward the rock of their… Continue reading Notable Album Release: Pontiak – Echo Ono
Ivory Weeds releases new album, I Am… Entropy
So, last time I told you to watch for a new Ivory Weeds album coming soon. Well, soon is now. John Chriest (aka Ivory Weeds) recently released his latest album, which is just as delicate as his previous material but enhanced by new sounds and more complex song structures. Chriest plays around with unique rhythms,… Continue reading Ivory Weeds releases new album, I Am… Entropy
Fotoshop
It’s Thanksgiving time! The past three (three!) years I’ve posted a remix to Adele’s Hometown Glory, but things change, ya know? Gotta keep you on your toes! So get funky with the fam with Fotoshop (Jarno Faarinen), a Finnish artist who gives us plenty of American lovin’. Your ears will be dripping with electro shoegaze… Continue reading Fotoshop
