New Mansions on the Moon album
Since I usually don’t post on the weekends, it would be wise to give you more music on Fridays. Lucky for us, Mansions on the Moon just released their new s/t album, and it’s thoroughly impressive. They use their softer acoustic skills more this time around (which we knew they already had from solo Ted… Continue reading New Mansions on the Moon album
Charlotte McCafferty: “The Messenger”
Charlotte McCafferty is a student at the University of Maryland (maybe now you’ll understand the Knox Road name if you didn’t already) and whenever I get a chance to highlight our alma mater’s talent, I don’t hesitate. McCafferty is working on a solo album of original songs, and from the sound of her first single,… Continue reading Charlotte McCafferty: “The Messenger”
Colorful Electricity: The Naked and Famous
In 2011, New Zealand’s The Naked and Famous released their synth-pop debut Passive Me, Aggressive You; which included the sugary electro-pop anthem “Young Blood,” which hit the radio like a runaway train carrying a cargo of starburst choruses, metallic synths, and soaring vocals. With comparisons to early MGMT floating around the blogosphere (which wasn’t fair,… Continue reading Colorful Electricity: The Naked and Famous
THUMPERS: “Unkinder (A Tougher Love)”
I haven’t really been posting about “popular” indie music lately, but it doesn’t mean I’m not enjoying it. So I figured I’d take a break from my recent experimental folk pop and provide a danceable new tune from THUMPERS, a duo from London. They’re expected to release their debut full length in early 2014 via… Continue reading THUMPERS: “Unkinder (A Tougher Love)”
Swim Deep: “She Changes The Weather”
I missed this dreamy gem a few weeks ago, and for that I apologize. So allow me to rectify the situation by highlighting Swim Deep’s “She Changes The Weather” on a sun-soaked Tuesday in New York City. Swim Deep on Tumblr | Facebook
Fallulah: “Dried Out Cities”
Fallulah makes a quick return to Knox Road (see previously posted “Out Of It”) with her latest head-bopping single, “Dried Out Cities.” The Danish superstar is delivering pop hit after pop hit and there’s no slowing down in sight. Enjoy the ride while it lasts. Fallulah on the web | Facebook | Knox Road
[MP3] Alice and the Glass Lake: “Luminous”
Crawling. Standing. Walking. Running. Toes against the pavement, wind rushing you forward. Deep breathing. Feeling your insides. Heart furiously beating, ready to escape your chest, no desire to clutch it back in. Lift yourself with purpose. Race to me. Alice & the Glass Lake on the web | Facebook *Sorry for the absence of late.… Continue reading [MP3] Alice and the Glass Lake: “Luminous”
New Fallulah song
Fallulah, one of my favorite Danish artists and occupying space on many a mix I have made, recently teamed up with our good friends over at Danger Village PR. People I like joining together? Always a good thing. And I have quickly been satisfied, as the catchy singer/songwriter just re-released her pop hit, “Out Of… Continue reading New Fallulah song
Notable Album Release: The Spring Standards – yellow//gold
The Spring Standards have always been a band deserving of more attention. With guy-girl folksy troupes gaining popularity (The Civil Wars, The Head and The Heart, etc.), The Spring Standards are worthy of some recognition. What’s nice is that The Spring Standards aren’t afraid of their poppier side, which we see on “Here We Go,”… Continue reading Notable Album Release: The Spring Standards – yellow//gold
