MP3 Roundup – Download some great songs


-

Don’t know about you, but a long weekend sounds like just what the doctor ordered.  Grab these MP3s and head out into the sun.

Adam Franklin & the Bolts of Melody
I’ve been a huge Adam Franklin and Swervedriver fan for quite some time. Adam’s third solo release and their first release recorded as a full-on proper band.  I Could Sleep For A Thousand Years will be out later this summer and the first single, “Yesterday Has Gone Forever” is just gorgeous.  Give a listen HERE.
-
Emily Jane White
Emily Jane White’s Victorian America is a smoky, rich and (dare I say) luxurious LP full of hauntingly gorgeous tracks.  This week we shared an unreleased B-side, “Red Serpent.”  Grab the exclusive track HERE.
-
Miniature Tigers
These charming fellows hit the studio with Neon Indian and the Morning Benders to produce quite the sophomore LP.  Fortress is out later this summer and the band is currently on the road with Free Energy.  Check out the lead single of the new LP, “Gold Skull” HERE.
-
Admiral Radley
This week Admiral Radley (Grandaddy + Earlimart) announced a string of extraordinarily unique shows – from a good, old-fashioned barn show to a performance in one of the most cutting edge LA art institutions – truly embodying the title of their debut LP I Heart California.  For full tour dates, check HERE and to check out the title track, grab “I Heart California” HERE.

Animal Names – Oh Yes You Better Do – EP free download


-

Animal Names is the newest addition to SAL Media. The band’s new album, Let It Been, is out now but before that, Animal Names put out a great EP in 2009, entitled Oh Yes You Better Do. For fans of The Get Up Kids, Nada Surf, Maritime, Promise Ring and Superchunk definitely check this out!

Who? Animal Names

What? Oh Yes You Better Do EP

Where are they from? Vancouver, British Columbia

What do they sound like? In a recent review of Animal Names’ final album, Let It Been, the band is described as “indie pop for punks”. That’s about as money as someone could describe Animal Names in my opinion. Let It Been is one of my favorite albums of 2010 but 2009’s Oh Yes You Better Do was my first introduction to the band. Combining soulful indie pop with power pop and pop punk, Animal Names blend together punky, intertwining guitars with quirky lyrics. The band broke up shortly after Let It Been’s recording but 4/5 of Animal Names have formed a new band so stay tuned!

Matt Marks – I Don’t Have Any Fun – MP3 Download Premiere


-

Matt Marks’ The Little Death: Vol. 1 (May 25th, New Amsterdam), began in Marks’ quiet Brooklyn bedroom with a catchy beat and no intention of becoming the nihilist post-Christian pop opera that it is. Experimenting with just a laptop, a collection of dusty Christian pop records and deep love of hip-hop, Marks chose DIY over classical notation to make the first-ever self-produced, sample-based opera. Marks uses hypnotic lyrics, catchy hooks and classic breakbeats to tell the story of two characters, Boy (Marks) and Girl (vocalist Mellissa Hughes), and their exploration of Fundamentalist Evangelism in an attempt to keep their relationship pure in the eyes of the Lord. The Little Death, although at times silly and droll, is ultimately a sympathetic portrait of two lovesick teenagers and their religious certainty set to splices of 1970s gospel, classic hip-hop and soul. Marks is also known for his recent performance and arrangement of the Dirty Projectors’ live realization of “The Getty Address”.

Peter Wolf Crier – Hard As Nails – MP3 Download & Song Review


-

Peter Wolf Crier – Hard As Nails

(click to listen – right click to download)

Something wicked this way comes a song quickened by electricity of nature, not to be undone by any magic man can make and with the purpose of mind to drive home to you, a tune culled by hands something solid in nature but other-wordly in feeling. Ok, it’s just a rock song. But one hell of a rock song at that. Yet perhaps after you have heard Peter Wolf Crier’s second single “Hard As Nails” you will come to understand what I wrote above. Or maybe it’s just nonsense meant for feelings and descriptions. This is my conclusion…. music is meant for all of us, from lonely bedroom rooms to packed concert halls the energy to get lost in it’s depths is inherent in our every day lives.

Spirituals – Wanderings – MP3 Download & Song Review


-

Spirituals – Wanderings

(Click to listen, right click to save)

The name given by Spirituals for their new song “Wanderings” is a great portrayal for the sound of the song. It’s dynamic movements are easily intoxicating, sliding consciousness from the surface of thoughts into created rhythms. Above all of this there lies a plethora of musical gizmos to get wide eyed with wanderlust. The track comes from their upcoming full length album out June 22nd on Waaga Records.

Glitch Mob – Drive It Like You Stole It – Song Review


-
Written by Lancifer

“Drive It Like You Stole” it is the first taste of Glitch Mob’s highly anticipated upcoming album, Drink The Sea. Not only are they headed down a path that has yet to be paved, they’re moving along full speed. Drink The Sea has the potential to be something groundbreaking, drawing comparisons to an atmospheric soundscape journey like Dark Side Of The Moon, and the symphonic and haunting likeness of Portishead. The expectations are high for this soon to be released album, though I’m certain Glitch Mob has what it takes to be able to exceed such expectations. Catch the boys live when they come through on their tour in support of Drink The Sea this spring/summer.
