I'm don't know what the deal
is, but I'm clearly not too good at clueing you in on my Austin Sound posts
on a timely basis. Perhaps it's some sort of unknown form of
forgetfulness that plagues only me. Or something. At any rate, I
have a couple up that you should check out. One is on an experimental
act called the Carnys,
and the other is on
SXSW.
Before you happily click away though, take a moment to listen to the first
single from Jim Noir's upcoming self titled sophomore effort for Barsuk.
His debut, Tower Of Love, was nothing short of a stellar listen from
beginning to end, and if I had known Jim was working on anything new I would
have already been hyping this as something I'm looking forward to most in
2008. April 6 can't get here soon enough. Enjoy.

Noir - Don't You Worry:
Here is one of those songs that I honestly don't see how
anyone could seriously not like, as it literally has
everything that you would want out of a pop tune. The
vocals are interesting and catchy, the arrangement is full
of sounds that swirl and intrigue, and the songwriting is
packed with great lines that are worth remembering. In
other words, it's sweet perfection. Get ready to
listen to it non-stop.
I can't say how
many of you out there have ever dreamt of seeing Jim Noir
fight an incredibly huge chicken, but if you have then the
events that transpire in this video for My Patch will
probably make your day.
