[Listen/Download] – New Song By Mind The Gap – “Once You Leave”

Mind The Gap is becoming one my new favorite bands.  Their tracks are definitely categorized as “easy listening” in my iTunes library and seem to fit any mood I’m in.  Their latest single, “Once You Leave” combines what I’ve come to love – interesting melodies, steady and foot-tapping beats, and light and airy vocals. The [...]

[Listen] – Ski Lodge – “A Game”

Brooklyn’s Andrew Marr makes some sweet surf  rock, and “A Game” is possibly my favorite song he has given us. This song is perfect to throw onto just about any mix and the importance of a song like that shouldn’t be overlooked. Simple and well-layered. Each instrument held back and contained, it follows that rote [...]

[Listen] – New Album By St. Vincent – “Strange Mercy”

[Listen] – New Album By St. Vincent – “Strange Mercy”

I’ve been listening to this album for about a week now and I have to say, it’s blowing me away. St. Vincent‘s first album “Marry Me” was excellent and she somehow managed to top it with her second album “Actor” in 2009, and two years later we have her third album “Strange Mercy” that has [...]

[Listen/Download] – Megafaun – “State/Meant”

Since it’s Megafaun I’m willing to just skip over how much this song sounds like Neil Young’s “Cortez The Killer.” Former/occasional Justin Vernon bandmates continue pushing their sound forward and making enjoyable music. Their self-titled album will be out in three weeks and I find myself wondering how much the rest of the tracks on [...]

A few days ago Purity Ring tried their damnedest to one-up themselves by dropping another amazing new track in “Belispeak”. The song is being released as a split 7″ between them and Braids and today Braids dropped their side of the vinyl with “Peach Wedding”.  This one you can’t download for free like “Belispeak” but it only [...]
