[MP3 + Video] Hear Hums: “Woo”

[Bear with me for this oddly structured post.] What the hell is going on in this song? Hear Hums – “Woo” [MP3] I don’t know. But I like it. Accompanying video below (first half of the video is Hear Hums’ song “Cerebellum”, second half is “Woo”). Knox Road goes psych-o this Monday.

The Farewell Circuit drop free Xmas EP

Okay, seriously, we receive tons of holiday-related songs around this time of year, but that doesn’t prevent us from listening to and enjoying most (…some) of them. There can never be too much Christmas music (yeah, there can), especially from The Farewell Circuit (finally – a truth!). The Farewell fellas have posted a free four song… Continue reading The Farewell Circuit drop free Xmas EP

Little Light

Little Light was recommended by good friend Brendan Losch, he of Bullets in Madison and, um, Brendan Losch. Considering how much Brendan knows about music and how it essentially takes over every facet of his life, I never take his suggestions lightly. Which continues to be the right decision. Little Light recently released their debut… Continue reading Little Light

Letting Up Despite Great Faults remix Silver Swans

Knox Road favorites, Letting Up Despite Great Faults, recently remixed a lulling Silver Swans song, which, knowing Letting Up, obviously resulted in something super whimsical. You know our feelings about remixes, we practically say it every time we post one (which is rare), but the good ones are too hard to ignore. Especially when it comes from… Continue reading Letting Up Despite Great Faults remix Silver Swans

[MP3] The Western States Motel: “Country and Western Song”

The Western States Motel provide an eclectic mix of sound in their music, with a sort of alt-folk synth style. It’s different, aesthetically, but it has a familiar appeal. The vocals are very much reminiscent of acts like the Eels, or even Wilco. “Country and Western Song” has a steady rhythm, and even though it… Continue reading [MP3] The Western States Motel: “Country and Western Song”

Songs I slept on! [MP3s] Y La Bamba: “November” + Birds of Avalon: “Invasion”

Two completely different songs; two completely overlooked bands (at least on my end). We received an email with both of them, so I figure why not put them together? Sometimes we look for a specific sound in posts, but diversity never killed the cat. Y La Bamba – “November” [MP3] (Sweet female psych pop folk… Continue reading Songs I slept on! [MP3s] Y La Bamba: “November” + Birds of Avalon: “Invasion”

Snow Kite

I’m going with Snow Kite‘s label’s (Denmark’s Kanel Records) theme of telling us little to nothing (erring on the side of nothing) about the band. They also wished us a “roady” kind of weekend, the “knoxy” way. Aw, thanks, guys! Snow Kite, from New York, demands you listen to the EP in full. So you’ll get… Continue reading Snow Kite

RadioSeed

RadioSeed is the moniker for one Peter Wikstrom, out of Sweden (which means I’m obviously covering the music). He’s set to release a new album, There Has To Be More, in January of 2011 via Japanese record label, Quince. Is it too early to consider 2011 Albums of the Year? Hmm. Conundrum! There Has To Be… Continue reading RadioSeed

[MP3] Shake The Baron: “Zodiak Name”

Shake The Baron, from Connecticut, make soaring pop that was meant to be released in the early 2000’s – their songs hold much of what we’ve been dearly lacking in music throughout these past couple years. It’s, dare I say it, lighthearted. Old school (…like, a few years ago) kicking guitars and melodic vocals drive… Continue reading [MP3] Shake The Baron: “Zodiak Name”
