Today's Quick Mention:  I was planning on staying away from any shows for at least a week or two, but I think I'm going to get out and have some fun tonight with the Sounds at La Zona Rosa.  Anyone else going?

A little behind on stuff, so I put together another EP.  Enjoy.

:Loch Lochmond - Wax And Wire:  I don't know exactly how much music flooded my inbox while I was out dealing with ACL, but easily one of the better tracks I received was this rather beautiful, lush gem from the Portland-based group Loch Lochmond.  Be sure to do yourself a favor and make a note to pick up the Night Bats EP when Hush Records releases it on November 10.

:Codes In The Clouds - Don't Go Awash In This Digital Landscape:  If you couldn't tell by the title of the song and the name of the band, this is all instrumental.  Not patient enough for such a thing?  No worries.  This will still work for you, as it has quite a few loud bursts and a runtime that's only about three and a half minutes.  Paper Crayon is available now on Erased Tapes.

:Air Waves - Knock Out:  It's weird to think that anything could make me miss the super sunny (and overly hot) days of a Texas summer when I'm so very ready for fall/winter, but this lazy pop tune does exactly that.  Expect the to experience the same wave of seasonal nostalgia.  Unless, of course, you live on the equator.  At any rate, you can grab their self titled EP whenever you'd like via Catbird Records.

:Body Language - Huffy Ten Speed:  Just so you know, there's essentially no point to this song other than to make you dance and smile for at least three minutes.  That's right, no insights on life or anything like that.  Just a slew of snazzy hooks.  Here's hoping you can handle it.  The Speaks EP is available right this moment on Moondgadget Records, which is a part of Ghostly International.

:Historics - Skin Orders:  I don't think any of them are even recognizable in this interesting track, but the lineup consists of Don Devore (Amazing Baby, The Icarus Line, Ink And Dagger), Mickey Madden (Maroon 5), Josh Grubb (Vietnam), Jeff Knutsen (Fast Fourier), and Matt Werth (Favourite Sons).  Talk about having some experienced help, right?  Strategies For Apprehension is out now on Metropolitan Indian Records.
