Aussie's San Cisco cover Daft Punk's Get Lucky on Triple J. I am not sure why.

Swans Playing Summer Dates In USA

Swans will once again be on tour to support the 2 CD release, The Seer (one of the best records last year). This is the second studio release of the re-formed Swans. This is not the usual “I need to pay the rent” reunion.  When I heard about it I was skeptical the new material would be interesting.  After so many years how do you stay “vital”?

Swans manage. It isn’t going too overboard to say The Seer is among the best the group—in various incarnations—has ever produced.

Reports on the shows (which I always seem to miss) have been awed. These reports came to me from people not easily awed.  If you don’t have The Seer, buy it. If you do you are already looking at the dates below to grab tickets.

We’ve written about Sun Angle before. But they bear another mention—or two or three. They have a new video (below) of the track, Strawberry.

Desert Stars have a new track out--With The Bears. You can hear it and download it free below. Their sound seems to be pop mixing with a tiny dash of shoegaziness and a bit of nostalgia (60s girl group sound with reverb). And that is all good.

The band’s latest full length, Habit Shackles, comes out July 16, 2013. You New Yorkers can check them out at Union Hall on June 22. More shows to be announced soon.

For more on the band head to www.desertstarsband.com.

The Horse's Ha Releasing "Waterdrawn" August 20, Hear "Dying Tree" Now, Chicago Show August 22

5/30/2013

0 Comments

 
Picture
The Horse’s Ha are not what you would call prolific. Their latest LP, Waterdrawn, is their second LP in a ten year span. Waterdrawn comes out August 20, 2013.

The reason for the dearth of material is that everyone in the band is in other bands—Janet Bean is half of Freakwater and Eleventh Dream Day (who I believe have a fairly new LP out). James Elkington has played with Skull Orchard and Brokeback. He also toured with Laetitia Sadier.

So, basically, get off their case. They’ve been busy. Check out the track, Dying Tree, below. If you are in the Chicago area be sure to head to the record release show Thursday, August 22 at The Hideout.

Kyle Andrews' "You Always Make Me Smile" Isn't JUST From A Commercial, New LP July 23

Do you watch television? Then you have heard PART of Kyle Andrews song, You Always Make Me Smile. In a hilarious bit of  “oops” I cannot tell you what product uses the song, but I remember the song. SO, Andrews was paid by someone else to make his song famous. Good for him.

If you are a fan of cheerful, upbeat, catchy pop? You will be a fan of Andrews. He has a new full length, Brighter Than The Sun, coming July 23, 2013.

In the meantime check out the video for a song off the upcoming record, The Way To Wonder, below….and below that is the video for the song you already know!
