Polyphonic Spree - Holiday Dream
Monday, April 4, 2011 at 03:26PM Black Joe Lewis and the Honey Bears' second full-length record, "Scandalous", has finally been released this past March 15th. It's a very great album reminescent of rock-y old school blues that can really make you feel gritty and powerful. Hope ya dig.

Monday, March 28, 2011 at 03:45PM Local band from Kansas City, MO. finally released their debut S/T LP this past 24th. And yup, She's a Keeper is a keeper. This album evokes a sense of both teenage blissful ignorance and teenage wise skepticism. Carefully crafted in a soothing rhythmic folk, it's a great album to listen to either in the (not so great) midwest or the great west, simply basking in youthful apathy.
You can buy the album on the band's bandcamp, here for only TEN DOLLARS!
Buy the album, Support local artists, and enjoy!

Monday, March 21, 2011 at 03:14PM Brooklyn's lo-fi, beachy groove band (though with no beach but the Atlantic) Beach Fossils have successfully followed up their self-titled debut album with yet another calm, carefree sounding EP. Though the lyrical material may have shifted to a more gloomy pole than the first album, the two at least SOUND equally carefree. Buy the album, dance it off, and go swimming.

Monday, March 14, 2011 at 03:51PM Hope everyone had a great Spring Break, now I'm back, here to give you this week's album spotlight.
After going home to Texas for a bit of Spring Break, I kinda realized (again) how much I really dig this local band Deer Vibes, which deserve much more press and marketing than they actually receive. This past New Years Day, Deer Vibes played a killer EP release show at Sam's Burger Joint in San Antonio, TX, and still have yet to receive much credit, it seems.
You can read more about the band here, or visit their facebook page. You can also download their first studio EP at their bandcamp page here, for ONLY FIVE DOLLARS. (!!!!!)

Monday, February 21, 2011 at 04:31PM 24-year-old Columbia, South Carolina native and resident, Chazwick Bundick, formally and artistically known as Toro y Moi has released his new 2011 full-length "Underneath the Pine." The album includes eleven super 
groovy chill wave tracks in which Bundick has experimented and progressed quite well. Though this album does exemplify many of the same sounds as his previous album, "Causers of this," this album does have new vibin' elements, including an "Intro/Chi Chi," in which Bundick experiments with psychedelic, atonal, washed out sounds and then progresses into more chill-wave groovy tunes.
