Eerie Wanda - I Am Over Here

Factory Floor - "Ya"

Words don't do this  justice. let it consume you. 25 25 out tomorrow (Friday 19th August 2016)



Ryley Walker - The Roundabout (Official Video)

Ryley Walker will likely appeal to the adventurous fans of Kurt Vile and The War on Drugs...



Primrose Green was a delightful dance of an album, but he has really nailed the pop sensibilities in this confessional story. His second album "Golden Sings that have been sung" is out tomorrow (Friday 19th August) on Dead Oceans,



Haley Bonar - I Can Change

I think everyone has felt this way, another stunner from Haley Bonar



"If you don't cut it out and set it free

  You're doomed to repeat

  Thinking 'I Can change, I Can Change'" 







Crater - Habits Die Slow

Seattle's CRATER made a huge and underrated (at least internationally) step with "Talk to Me So I Can Fall Asleep" and this is the real stand out track, visuals definitely adding something to this spectacular track.





It's a fucking cruel cruel world... but not with Phantogram

PHANTOGRAM'S III already sounds like it's going to be the album of the year. Sarah and Josh! #bestfriendshit



Altered Images - I Could Be Happy

Altered Images are the most evil of pop groups and therefore the best.

Born Ruffians- Birthmarks

Ontario's Born Ruffians return with a triumphant swagger with third album "Birthmarks" this week. Their ever pleasing hook-wordy indie pop is best enjoyed with a bright sunny day.

NO JOY Wait To Pleasure

J'adore No Joy. Last Year I scheduled my trip to Montreal so I could attend a hometown No Joy gig at the legendary Casa Del Popolo and the tiny room dynamic blew me in half... because a good gig is the sort that blows your eardrums out. Their second album "Wait To Pleasure" is released on Mexican Summer next week and the teaser "Lunar Phobia" is the soundtrack to a hazy bliss best played to pleasurable ad nauseum

Album Stream: Sweet Baboo – Ships [Best Fit Premiere]


The "Right Good" TLOBF have started streaming the absolutely lovely Sweet Baboo album "Ships" and it's already amongst my favourite albums of the year after half a spin... "The Morse Code for Love is Beep Beep, Beep Beep, The Binary Code is One One" wins song title of the year hands down, so look forward to me dropping that into conversation drunk at some point before 2013 ends....

CHECK IT!

Bass Drum of Death- Shattered Me

Oxford, MS' finest son(s) Bass Drum of Death premiered a fresh upbeat big catchy chorus slacker punk this morning from the forthcoming Self titled album released in June.

Waxahatchee

Recently signed to Wichita Recordings (Sadly, 2012's American Weekend and this year's Cerulean Salt have been taken off Spotify as a result), apparently mind blowing SXSW performances and a recently announced European jaunt with Canadian electric pop darlings Tegan & Sara. 2013 is certainly going to be the year of Katie Crutchfield!

Carmen Villain: Sleeper

Everyone loves models. Everyone loves a Mystery. Everyone loves down tuned guitar circa Sonic Youth. "Lifeissin" is a dark blurry concept from a mystery biography-less former supermodel.

Western Owls- Icicles

Fresh from Stereogum is Western Owls, the moniker of Jack Burnside, teaming up with Saddle Creek legend Andy LeMaster to create this delicious slice of indie pop. The album is out in June and on the back of this track alone it's set to be one of my summer favorites.

The-Dream IV Play

The-Dream is keeping it real on his new tune premiered over at Rolling Stone with additional roman numerals. Nash don't like no foreplay but he promises some extra attention from instant business. That's enough chat... get down to business.

Julie Dorion- So Many Days

A) I LOVED Eric's Trip
B) I Saw Julie Doiron in Canada this summer but completely forgot to tell anyone how amazing she was and how amazing the brand new album "So Many Days" was...
C) I've only just remembered and relistened to it since it's been announced she will be playing The Lexington on Feb 17th
CHECK IT, Care of Exclaim.ca
And a bit of Eric's Trip too just for retro fun

On an On

On an On have already created an atmospheric anthemic chorus for Grey's Anatomy so they already have a place in my heart, but hey this tune is sadcore to sing along to.
