Quickdraw: Metz, FACS, Bodega, Jade Hairpins, Vampire Weekend
Enjoy.
Metz – Light Your Way Home
Amber Webber (of Black Mountain and Lightning Dust) contributes a bit of vocal support for Metz on this awesome, sprawling track. Can’t wait to check out their new album, Up On Gravity Hill, on April 12.
FACS – North America Endless
FACS will put out a two-song 7″ via Sub Pop on April 12. The fantastic, attention-commanding A-side awaits you here.
Bodega – Cultural Consumer III
Here’s another great (and infectious) single off Bodega’s upcoming album, Our Brand Could Be Yr Life (due out April 12). I didn’t manage to catch them at SXSW, so hopefully they’ll be back in Austin before too long.
Jade Hairpins – Unreliable
Jade Hairpins are heading out on a UK tour, which means nothing to me since I’m in Texas, but that announcement did come with this upbeat wonder of a single, and I’ll take that deal any day.
Vampire Weekend – Classical
These Vampire Weekend singles continue to be a delight, and I can already tell that I’m going to have their new album, Only God Was Above Us, frequently on repeat when it arrives on April 5.
