Brandon Kinder, out of Austin, Texas, is The Wealthy West, which showcases his impressive singer/songwriter skills. Employing a pensive demeanor and a forlorn timbre, Kinder delivers short, melancholic tunes with a powerful affect. Kinder recently released a five song acoustic EP with just enough despair to make you slightly unstable. But emotion is good, yeah?… Continue reading The Wealthy West

[MP3] Color of Clouds: “Sleep”
Yes, it’s true; new music from Knox Road favorite, Color of Clouds! Dan sent us their new four-song EP, Tiny Hammers, to be digitally released May 17, and it shows a new side of CoC. I’m providing the track “Sleep” below, as it best represents the slight change in sound. Kelli Scarr’s vocals are still… Continue reading [MP3] Color of Clouds: “Sleep”
[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] The Dirty Diamonds – “The Right Direction”
I started off the day in a VERY sleepy way, so I’ve been listening to some upbeat dance-ish pop in the form of The Dirty Diamonds. We were sent a track from them recently via SoundCloud called “The Right Direction”, off their forthcoming EP Monster Ballads, and it’s pretty special because it’s a whole bunch of… Continue reading [MP3] The Dirty Diamonds – “The Right Direction”
[MP3] Her Magic Wand: “Mistakes”
Nothing like some dreamy pop to start your no longer dreamy day off, am I right? Her Magic Wand, a one-man project out of Paris, France, is equal parts smooth and sugary, with a pinch of a darker undertone. This is some mighty fine electronic pop – reminiscent of Letting Up Despite Great Faults, but… Continue reading [MP3] Her Magic Wand: “Mistakes”

In anticipation of the EP and an upcoming video, she is releasing the title track, “Help Me! Help Me!” for free download! Yippee! I… Continue reading [MP3] Lucy Schwartz: “Help Me! Help Me!”
Yael Meyer to release new EP
Layered electronica. Acoustic guitar. Hushed female vocals. Yael Meyer. Oh, and bells, bells, bells. Meyer, a singer/songwriter and multi-instrumentalist, was born in Santiago de Chile and moved to the United States at 19 to attend the Berklee College of Music in Boston. She’s no longer that wide-eyed 19-year-old, currently spending her time in LA, yet… Continue reading Yael Meyer to release new EP
Jesus H. Foxx
Hot on the heels of Song, by Toad Records’ latest success with Meursault comes Jesus H. Foxx (don’t be thrown off by the name, please), a seven-piece outfit out of Edinburgh, Scotland (where else? It is Song, by Toad‘s label anyway…). Jesus H. Foxx mix several different genres of music, which is perhaps easier with… Continue reading Jesus H. Foxx
