Of course this would happen. Merely two days after posting about Matt Kanelos & The Smooth Maria (I’d link to the post but like, all you have to do is scroll down…) they come out with another new song from their upcoming cd, Silent Show. Because of the extremely positive reader response to the previous… Continue reading New Matt Kanelos & The Smooth Maria song

Matt Kanelos & The Smooth Maria
Some relaxing, yet fulfilling music to start your day off, that’s for sure. Matt Kanelos & The Smooth Maria (out of NYC) has a new album, Silent Show, out April 29 – which from what we’ve heard so far, displays a crisp instrumentative flair with piano as the backbone to the sound, filling out the… Continue reading Matt Kanelos & The Smooth Maria
Sunset Rubdown to release new album, ‘Dragonslayer’, June 23
The prolific Spencer Krug just keeps churning these puppies out. Details about his newest album, this time with Sunset Rubdown, have just hit the news waves. Having dropped Enemy Mine from another one of his bands, Swan Lake, recently, Krug is back with the atmospheric now five-piece (new bassist/drummer, Mark Nicol) Sunset Rubdown for Dragonslayer.… Continue reading Sunset Rubdown to release new album, ‘Dragonslayer’, June 23
Los Campesinos! recording another album
Because two albums in one year isn’t enough, Brit twee indie kids Los Campesinos! are busy recording another one. Only it’s their “sophomore album” because their latest We Are Beautiful, We Are Doomed doesn’t count for some reason? This band is weird. According to LC!’s blog, they are about 7 tracks in and going strong.… Continue reading Los Campesinos! recording another album
Emperor X: Free album download
Thanks to See What You Hear, I received word that Emperor X (Chad Matheny) has his new (January 12) album, The Blythe Archives Volume 2, up on his website for free download. This is the same Emperor X who made one of my favorite songs ever in “Raytracer”. It’s a bit unusual at first if… Continue reading Emperor X: Free album download
Grizzly Bear posts “Cheerleader” mp3 from Veckatimest
Word on the street (thanks to Will at We All Want Someone To Shout For), and information I previously wasn’t privy to: Grizzly Bear has posted a free, legal mp3 of “Cheerleader” from their forthcoming, hotly-anticipated (understatement) Veckatimest. So, um…wow. Totally awesome. There’s not much else to say. Can’t wait for the album to come… Continue reading Grizzly Bear posts “Cheerleader” mp3 from Veckatimest
The Tiny
You had to have known that I’d be writing up a Swedish band on here sometime soon, especially with many international bands attending and performing SXSW, which is right around the corner. I have recently become besotted with The Tiny, a Stockholm, Sweden trio who make devastatingly heartbreaking music with such a crisp sound for… Continue reading The Tiny
MP3 from Boy In Static’s new ‘Candy Cigarette’
You should all know of my love of Boy In Static. I wrote about the duo a while back and mentioned they were working on Candy Cigarette. Well, the album was just released in MP3 format (March 10) and the physical release goes live April 14! Also, there’s a free mp3 up for grabs from… Continue reading MP3 from Boy In Static’s new ‘Candy Cigarette’
Rod Thomas
A SXSW performer, playing March 18, 20 and 21, who I unfortunately left out of my mini-series: Rod Thomas, singer/songwriter out of the UK, not to be confused with Rob Thomas of Matchbox 20. His songs all sound pretty similar to each other, but nothing wrong with that when that sound is awesome! On his… Continue reading Rod Thomas
Say Hi’s album, ‘Oohs & Aahs’, is not for your mother
There’s nothing inappropriate about the album or anything, I just thought I’d bring you back to your reality instead of your mother’s reality after reading Jamie’s proper analysis of the U2 album. Say Hi released his album, Oohs & Aahs, today. Most of it is indie pop at it’s finest. This is his second album… Continue reading Say Hi’s album, ‘Oohs & Aahs’, is not for your mother
