Prisoners - Know No Violence:
Some of you may already be well aware of this band, but my
introduction didn't happen until I stumbled across this pop
gem in a CMJ-related post on I Guess I'm Floating. I
need more, which I'll get by snatching up their full length,
Gold Fools, from
Bandcamp. It's currently available
for the rather cheap price of 50 cents.
:Phenomenal
Handclap Band - Following:
This is an act that hasn't exactly impressed me in the past,
so I have to admit I wasn't overly excited when this new
track popped up. But, here we are, which clearly means
I'm liking what I'm hearing now. Hopefully the rest of
their upcoming album is this catchy and danceable.
Form And Control will be out in early 2012 via Tummy
Touch Records.
:Talkdemonic
- Revival:
Because my brain sometimes needs a jump, I was reminded of
needing to talk about Talkdemonic's new album when it was
announced last week that they'd be opening for Modest Mouse
at both of their Stubb's shows next month. The LP is
called Ruins, this well crafted instrumental number
is off it, and if you like what you hear you can pick up the
effort right now on Glacial Pace Recordings (Isaac Brock's
label).
:Bombadil
- Laundromat:
I tend to have mixed feelings about this band when it comes
to their actual albums, but they never seem to fail to
deliver at least one track that I struggle to take off
repeat. This effortless number is that song on All
That The Rain Promises, which is Bombadil's new full
length. You'll be able to get it on November 8 via
Ramseur Records.
:Sea
Weeds - Fall Boi:
Total Babe-member Lizzie Carolan has apparently been
utilizing her spare time rather well, and the product of it
is an EP under the moniker of Sea Weeds. As of now,
this is the only song I've heard off it, but it's more than
good enough to make me feel safe about advising you to
snatch up the Fur Coast EP when it gets released on
October 31.
