Big Troubles performs “Phantom” at Glasslands Gallery, Brooklyn

Here is the B-side to Big Troubles’ “Misery” single. The full length release “Romantic Comedy”, out on Slumberland on 9/27/11, is so chock o’ block with great songs that it overflows with an excellent track like this one. Enjoy.

YOMAHA - “Bob Dylan in the 80’s”

I’m quiiite pleased to introduce y’all to the super-solid-goodness of YOMAHA, a debut project from Alaskan-turned-Boston-dweller/ABADABAD drummer/real rad fella, Josh Northcutt. Rumor has it he shall be releasing an EP of this american folk excellence sometime in the colder months ahead…& until then, we shall wait impatiently. NO PRESSURE, JOSH. Three cheers to Josh for choosing SoundCloud over Myspace, follow it HERE.

This is absolutely awesome.

I really hope you’re streaming this gorgeous record. 

I’m in awe. This band is amazing.

Also, hope you’ve pre-ordered it (out 9/27 via. Domino)

“Te Amo” by Atlas Sound // Terra Incognito (2011)

Over the past few years, Bradford Cox has become such a reliable musical force in my collection of favorites. He releases damn near more music than one could possibly find time for, but it doesn’t matter if they’re all gems. They’re the output of a man who never seems content to stop (like Spencer Krug used to be) and more often than not, what he releases is damn good - and in that collection of “damn good”, you’ll quite often find some pretty amazing material. His last release as Atlas Sound, the single title track to “Terra Incognito” was one of those mesmerizing tracks showing Cox at his finest, this one is right up there with that, making the upcoming full length something that i’m very much looking forward to before the end of the year.

“Easy” by Real Estate // Days (2011)

Most of my most anticipated albums of the year have come and gone, but Real Estate’s October 18th release of Days is still on the horizon and every new taste makes me more and more excited. The breezy jangle pop feel has a melancholic edge that makes it prime material for this time of year. I’m pretty much hooked on this jam today. Highest Recommendation.

High Places - “Altos Lugares”

LA’s High Places (aka Rob Barber and Mary Pearson) is set to release their third album Original Colors, and their playful pop gem “Altos Lugares” is paired visually here with ghost trails and the great outdoors. You can find this superb track on Original Colors set to drop October 11th via Thrill Jockey.
