Chicago’s Light Pollution released a new mp3, “Oh, Ivory!” in support of their forthcoming debut full length, Apparitions, which drops June 15 via Carpark. Musicians love the ghost themes and apparently Light Pollution is joining the crowd with the title to their debut. But they’ve certainly got a unique blend of instruments, mixing in soft… Continue reading [MP3] Light Pollution: “Oh, Ivory!”

[MP3] Ian McGlynn & The Dead Radio: “Digital Killed the Record Store”
In honor of the return of the DC Record Fair tomorrow next Sunday (May 23) at the Black Cat (Noon – 6 pm, check out The Vinyl District for more info), I present to you this song. It was written to lament exactly what the title implies, and the lyrics discuss how record stores make for… Continue reading [MP3] Ian McGlynn & The Dead Radio: “Digital Killed the Record Store”
[MP3] Castledoor: “Flashlight”
Well, there really isn’t much to say here, aside from how great this song is. “Flashlight” comes from LA’s Castledoor, an act I think I heard a couple years back but just recently took the time to seek out (which makes me fairly upset, as they’ve been going at it for five years now). What… Continue reading [MP3] Castledoor: “Flashlight”
[MP3] One For The Team ft. John Vanderslice: “I Got Tamed”
I picked up this track yesterday, after hearing about it from The Culture Of Me, because I was pleasantly familiar with the work of both One For The Team (our friend Ian from MFR‘s band – check a previous post here) and John Vanderslice. However, I was not expecting to be entirely blown away, which… Continue reading [MP3] One For The Team ft. John Vanderslice: “I Got Tamed”
[MP3] The Goodbye Radio: “That’s the Point”
I’m not sure if you’ve ever heard of the now-defunct band Endgames, but their former members, specifically the duo of Mike Aronow and Jeff Walsh, have created a new project called The Goodbye Radio, and have decided to release their debut album, The Year We Didn’t Have, entirely free (click on that album link!). The sound… Continue reading [MP3] The Goodbye Radio: “That’s the Point”
[MP3] Sarah Winters: “Not Mine”
Sarah Winters is, perhaps, the definition of what I expect out of a folk songstress from Minnesota. Her name matches the state’s weather fairly well (sorry Minnesotans!) along with her music, which is mostly chilling. The first single, “Not Mine”, from her debut album, Smallest Bones, has a dark demeanor, using precarious cello and thumping… Continue reading [MP3] Sarah Winters: “Not Mine”
The Dead Weather improve, make good rock music on Sea of Cowards
The Dead Weather have always looked great on paper. The group is made up of members of The Raconteurs and Queens of the Stone Age with The Kills’ Alison Mosshart and king of bluesey rock music Jack White himself. Even their first single, “Hang You From the Heavens” was pretty good! But their debut album,… Continue reading The Dead Weather improve, make good rock music on Sea of Cowards
Woods’ At Echo Lake is pleasant but inconspicuous
Woods was one of the very first acts we posted about here on Knox Road, so they’ll always hold a special place in our hearts. Jamie described them as “eerie” and “sweet” at the same time, which totally confused him. Not that that’s a bad thing though; confusion is good! Woods have a unique sound going… Continue reading Woods’ At Echo Lake is pleasant but inconspicuous
[MP3] Marching Band: “Another Day”
Swedish indie pop duo, Marching Band, has made available the first track off their forthcoming (May 18) sophomore album, Pop Cycle, for free download. In case you forget, I previewed Pop Cycle with a “Notable Album Release” post, as this is a much-anticipated album for me. I have heard it, but you’ll have to wait… Continue reading [MP3] Marching Band: “Another Day”
