Tiny Moving Parts Releasing "Pleasant Living," September 9, 2014, Hitting Festivals

Tiny Moving Parts, from Benson, Minnesota, have their second LP, Pleasant Living, coming September 9, 2014. I mention where they are from because it is a tiny town of 3,000. This maybe illustrates that you don't need to be from Austin, Texas to start a band.

The band is made up of cousins (in a town of 3,000 what are the odds you are not related to someone). They've played with bands like Modern Baseball and The Front Bottoms. Tiny Moving Parts are hitting some festivals in the fall (including Chicago and Denver Riot Fests). These are below.

Tour
9/14/14 - Chicago, IL @ Riot Fest
9/19/14 - Denver, CO @ Riot Fest
10/29/14 - Tampa, FL @ Pre-Fest
10/31/14 - Gainesville, FL @ The Fest 13

Ibeyi, Cuban-French Duo, Release First Part Of New Single, "Oya"

6/27/2014

Picture
Ibeyi have a video for their haunting track, Oya, out now. The video is pretty haunting too. This is the band's first music since signing to XL Music (XL's founder, Richard Russell produced the track). The song is part of the band's upcoming double A-side single, Oya/River out later this summer.

Ibeyi is twins Naomi and Lisa-Kainde Diaz. They have a musical heritage as daughters of Cuban percussion legent Anga Diaz (he played with groups such as Orisha, Afro-Cuban All Stars and even Ry Cooder).

The music is based on Yoruba music brought to Cuba during slavery times. They sing in both English and Yoruba. There is something quite moving that Yoruba culture still informs Cubans at home and in the diaspora. Find out more at www.ibeyi.fr.

The duo are working on a full-length.

No Lands Debut LP, "Negative Space," Out July 29, 2014, Hear "City" Now

6/27/2014

Picture
No Lands (aka Michael Hammond) is set to release his debut LP, Negative Space, on July 29, 2014. You can check out the track, City, below. The LP is to be released digitally, on CD and vinyl.

Both an experimental record and a display of songwriting prowess, City, is a unique and moving piece. It has an almost pastoral feel. Hammond grew up in Tennessee and he first began creating sounds on his family computer. That was his musical "gateway drug."

This debut was three years in the creating.

Stephen Emmer's International Blue comes out September 16, 2014. The LP was produced by Tony Visconti and features Midge Ure, Glen Gregory, Liam McKahey, Neil Crossley and Michael Dempsey. That's members of Ultravox, The Cure, Heaven 17 etc.

The record is Emmer's homage to the pop crooner--and art form that seems to have fallen by the wayside (with all due deference to Nick Cave).
 
This is Emmer's first record since 2008. His career includes wr with the likes of The Royal Philharmonic Orchesta, Lou Reed, Trevor Horn and many others.
