Today's Quick Mention: Later this month
we'll be sponsoring a show with Elaine Greer, the
Sour Notes and a slew of other great acts.
Check it
out.
Then immediately make plans to go.
And now, some music. Enjoy.
:Fair
Ohs - Summer Lake:
Lefse Records has really been working it in 2011.
Seemingly every other week I get a neat little pop track
from some act that's a new addition to their roster, and
since it's always good, I
really hope they keep it going all year. Anyhow, this
bit of catchiness from Fair Ohs is a fun number that likes
to lodge itself in your head. The band will put our
their debut Everything Is Dancing on July 26.
:Yourself
And The Air - Trampolines:
The first track I heard from these guys was a moody indie
rock number called Sick Days. Here, they've
sort of thrown that particular sound out the window in
exchange for something a little more upbeat and pop.
It works great for them as well. Damn talented
bastards! The Who's Who In The Zoo EP is
currently available on Lujo Records now, and the band will
play the Mohawk on July 25.
:The
Sundelles - Me And You:
Today's set of songs definitely leans towards the bouncy
side of things, so if that ends up being too much then I
highly recommend this calm and slightly breezy effort.
It's honestly just one more reason I really need to get my
stuff together and seek out their new full length.
Georgia Swan is currently ready to be exchanged for
cash. Grab it on iTunes.
:Her
Space Holiday - Black Cat Balloons:
For a while I've been reading that Marc Bianchi has been
preparing to stop working as Her Space Holiday, but I didn't
realize I was going to miss anything until this charming
song arrived and reminded me how great HSH has been in the
past. Now, I'm a little sad. Thanks, Marc.
The free EP can be had over at
My
Old Kentucky Blog, and Her Space
Holiday will arrive August 16.
:Waters
- For The One:
Here's an new act that features ex-Port O'Brien frontman Van
Pierszalowski. I was always a little so-so on his
former band, but this sounds inspired and is rather fun to
sing-a-long with. So, do yourself a favor and crank
the volume before you getting around to hitting play.
Out In The Light is expected everywhere on September
20 via TBD Records.
