NEW MUSIC: Beauts – The City Loves Me (Radio Edit)

Beauts hail from Halifax, Nova Scotia and on this track they’ve dialed into that melancholic indie rock vibe that hovers somewhere between The National, War On Drugs and the jangling insistence of Rolling Blackouts Coastal Fever. It all flows effortlessly – maudlin yet gently propulsive and wistfully melodic. After releasing a couple of EPs, the band are working on their debut album, set for release … Continue reading NEW MUSIC: Beauts – The City Loves Me (Radio Edit)

NEW MUSIC: Anonymous Friends – Amos

Anonymous Friends – straight outta Somerville, Massachusetts with their debut EP Anonymous Friends Start A Band. Great sound too – shades of Fugazi, Polvo , Girls Against Boys, Bailter Space and the like. ‘Amos’ does the loud quiet loud thing well with a tight rhythm section and some noisy Pixies six-string racket smeared across the top of it all. Continue reading NEW MUSIC: Anonymous Friends – Amos

NEW MUSIC: Coyote Jungle – Rain Call

Some new sounds from teenage band Coyote Jungle from the South Coast of the UK. Nothing new here but the singer has a certain grit and edge to his voice that stands out. It’s a commercial rough and raw pop/rock sound but there’s something going on that singles them out as a band to keep an eye on. 60s riffs mixed with anthemic indie rock. Continue reading NEW MUSIC: Coyote Jungle – Rain Call

ALBUM REVIEW: Kevin Morby – Oh My God

Apparently Kevin Morby went into the studio and recorded this album two years ago, before he released his last record, City Music. It sounds quite different to that album, different to his breakthrough album Singing Saw as well. What came out of those studio sessions is a concept album of sorts, one that is tied into the theme of religion, by someone who states that … Continue reading ALBUM REVIEW: Kevin Morby – Oh My God

NEW MUSIC: Benefits – Strains

Benefits is the musical project of Sydney songwriter Mason Lewtas plus Ben Cauduro (Keys), Matthew Bilic (bass), and Jordan Quilty (drums). Based on the indie rock hooks of ‘Strains’ he’s got a good thing going on in the songwriting dept. Guitars sparkle and charm over a relaxed vocal melody and a melodic set of finely balanced riffs that swing and hang in the air with tough nuance. This … Continue reading NEW MUSIC: Benefits – Strains

NEW MUSIC: Glenn Echo – Overwhelm

Glenn Echo is a musical project from Matt Gaydar out of Brooklyn, NY and we were instantly drawn into this track ‘Overwhelm’, with it’s warm and intimate sound. Really nice chord changes in the verses of the song as it gently weaves together its varied sonic elements. I like a track that knows its strengths and how to work with them and not try to build … Continue reading NEW MUSIC: Glenn Echo – Overwhelm

NEW MUSIC: Timothy Eerie – Transformation Of Things

A suitably trippy clip for this psychedelic somnambulant space jam from Timothy Eerie. The group hail from Austin, TX and based on this track they’ve found a damn good angle on imbuing blissed out English psych and US West Coast sounds with a post-modern dream sheen. For fans of Mac DeMarco, Chad Van Gaalen, early Pink Floyd, CAN and The Byrds Continue reading NEW MUSIC: Timothy Eerie – Transformation Of Things

NEW MUSIC: Toy Savoy – Something New

Fresh sounds out of Norway this morning with this sleepy psych trip from Toy Savoy. We’re keen to hear more from the quintet as the song fades out after three minutes, just as full immersion in their dreamy soundscapes takes hold. Listening to some of their earlier material it seems they can take things up a notch into noisier shoegaze territory but ‘Something New’ excels … Continue reading NEW MUSIC: Toy Savoy – Something New

NEW MUSIC: Static Masks – Dust

Some woozy, classic-sounding indie rock from the New Orleans band Static Masks. The guitars sparkle and charm over a precise and measured rhythm section. There are elements of post rock such as Tortoise and the explorations of Pan Am and it builds and evolves into a wonderfully warm fuzz of interwoven guitars. Continue reading NEW MUSIC: Static Masks – Dust
