Recent Releases We Almost Missed, VIII: Vita Ruins, Lou Barlow, Communist Daughter, Cary Ann Hearst, Apollo Ghosts, Holy Ghost

Posted on 06/13/201001/09/2020 by Max Hammer

The Vita Ruins, an indie band from Washington D.C, was founded by Tim Kratzer and Greg Balleza in 2005. The band’s debut album, A Day Without A Name, features an unique and intriguing mix of dark, layered rock blended with romping electronica beats.

Following the release of their debut EP last year, the band attracted a following of fans, and soon were opening for artists like KENNA, VHS or Beta, Snowden and Malajube. We’ve listened to this song over and over – it’s terrific.

“Seven Sons” – The Vita Ruins from A Day Without A Name – March 2rd

There is no excuse for us missing this awesome new EP from Lou Barlow (Dinosaur Jr., Sebadoh), but we did, so if you’re a Lou Barlow fan, apologies. Barlow’s solo EP, Sentridoh III, was released last week, and it sounds so good. The track here, “Loserscore” is really a terrific rock song. Not long ago the legendary rocker told NME that indie rock is so interesting because it incorporates every possible genre and era of music, and that musicians nowadays have so much source material to work with. And they know that, and are drawing from everything – punk, classic rokc, disco, grunge, folk and so on.

“Losercore” – Low Barlow from Sentridoh III EP – June 8th

Minneapolis folk rock band Communist Daughter, led by the bearded (beards seem to be ‘the thing’ of indie rockers nowadays) singer and guitarist Johnny Solomon, released their debut album in April; it’s a feast of upbeat, Beach Boys era harmonies, lo-fi, folky rock with contrasting lyrics about the pitfalls of life – loss, daily struggles and a ripe bit of cynicism.

“Not The Kid” – Communist Daughter from Soundtrack to the End – April 6th

Apollo Ghosts are a Vancouver based three-piece indie rock band whose journey began with renting out a small recording studio in 2008, where they embraced a ritual of practice, record, go to a show, eat, sleep, and repeat for months. Their dedicated lead to two widely praised EPs released in 2009, Hasting Sunrise and Forgotten Triangle. Influential blogger Ryan Catbird hailed the EPs as his “favorite thing to listen to all throughout the year” and Exclaim Magazine said the band’s music was “criminally under-hyped.”

In March, the band released their debut LP, Mount Benson. The lead single “Things You Go Through” is catchy and laden with choruses of the title again and again – very much sounds like a 1990’s indie rock pop song – and it’s a song that’ll be hard to get out of your head, so beware.

“Things You Go Through” – Apollo Ghosts from Mount Benson – March 30th

Cary Ann Heart‘s track “Hell’s Bells” romps forward out of the gates of hell straight for the jugular in
the first seconds of the song, with it’s stomp-like percussions, reminiscent of the beast slowly walking towards you – and Dead Weather-like biker bar bravado, plus lyrics as gritty as the song itself: “Cocaine makes you grind your teeth out” and “You were leaning on me/I heard you asking for it.”

“Hell’s Bells” is a vicious, in-your-face and totally awesome cut; production-wise it sounds like it was recorded in a big empty kitchen, and although they are drumsticks smashing together, it sounds like those wooden cooking spoons banging on an overturned crock pot – all very lo-fi and raw. “Hell’s Bells” – obviously not the classic AC/DC song by the same name – reminds us a lot of another track that came out recently (not by Dead Weather) – but we still can’t think of the name of the mystery song or the artist. It’s a new artist that are on blogger radars; it’s driving us nuts not being able to spit up the artist or song name. Damn you info-overloaded brain matter! Can anyone help?

“Hell’s Bells” – Cary Ann Hearst from Are You Ready to Die – March 9th

Recent Releases We Almost Missed, VII: Sam Billen, The Press, Markaras Pen, Boy Without God, Peasant, Chromatic Flights

Posted on 04/29/201001/09/2020 by Max Hammer

With so much new music coming at us from all directions all the time, there are going to be those that slip through the cracks. The fact that these tracks are part of an ‘almost missed’ mix does not in anyway diminish what we think about the songs themselves (thus the reason for this series). So, without reviewing the tracks individually – which we’d love to do but there simply isn’t time – we hope the music speaks for itself.

Not many people, even those who follow “indie” music, know who Sam Billen is. And for those that do, they might say you’ve been missing out. Irregardless, we have been really digging Billen’s cover songs and remixes lately, including his repurposing of songs from – Removers – Sufjan Stevens, Postal Service, Deastro, and Capybara. We’ve included two of our favorites here. Enjoy.

“Spirtle” (Deastro) – Sam Billen from Removers – March 9th

“Borderline” (Sufjan Stevens) – Sam Billen from Removers – March 9th

Sam Billen’s Removers EP is available as a free download.
Sam Billen on MySpaceIf you haven’t already heard of the band The Press (making it hard to Google their name), now is your chance. The Brooklyn band brilliantly produces songs that are melodic and dreamy, “Jellyfish Wrangler,” as well as raw and in-your-face guitar rock, “Master,” as well as other styles. Put them down as a Band to Watch. Following The Press is Makaras Pen, whose songs hover somewhere between shoegaze, pop and indie rock.

“Master” – The Press from INTEOTWIJTEOAE – April 6th

“Jellyfish Wrangler” – The Press from INTEOTWIJTEOAE – April 6th

“Falling Deeper” – Makaras Pen from Makaras Pen – April 1st

Blind Man Colour’s Other Half Releases More Solo Work

Kyle Wess of Blind Man’s Colour, a band that received a lot of attention in the second half of 2009, just released his second DIY EP under his moniker Chromatic Flights. The EP is pretty much an extension of the type of the electronic experimental ‘surf’ sounds and styles he’s recorded in the past, and with BMC; so there are no real standout tracks, except for the title track, which will quite possibly make it on to one of our summer playlist mixtapes.

“Too Beautiful for Smiles” – Chromatic Flights from Too Beautiful for Smiles – April 19th

Artist on the Radar: New York’s Boy Without God

Ridgewood, New York’s Boy Without God has proven to be a promising one man band who has collaborated with dozens of artists, including members of Slaraffenland. BWG is recommended if you like Beirut, Neutral Milk Hotel, Stephin Merritt, and Sufjan Stevens. The album art above is from the first BWG LP released last summer.

“City Kids” – Boy Without God – single – Jan. 18th

On The Rise: New Orlean’s Sun Hotel

Sun Hotel started as a two-piece folk act when Tyler Scurlock and Alex Hertz moved to New Orleans for college. After writing and recording “spooky” songs in their college dorm room, the duo released the lo-fi EP, Oh N.O! to great fan and critic response. Since then, the six-piece post-gospel family band has released their 2009 debut LP, Halloween Mean, and their follow-up LP, Team Spirit, in January 2010.

“Plantation Land” – Sun Hotel from Team Spirit – Jan. 15th

Lastest Release from Peasant Reaffirms Remarkable Talent

When Damien DeRose turned 18, he dropped out of school, packed up his guitar, and bought a sailboat in California with a friend. A few years later, DeRose released his home recorded debut, Fear Not Distant Lover, and penned the moniker Peasant. The DIY release is full of lo-fi folk pop songs that caught the attention of some influential bloggers. In 2008, Peasant signed with Paper Garden Records, which released Peasant’s first studio LP, On The Gound.

Last year, one of the songs from the album was included on the season premier of the TV show, Bones. During his tour of 2008-09, Peasant recorded live sessions for Daytrotter and WOXY radio (RIP), and shared the stage with Cursive, Delta Spirit and Deer Tick, including shows at South By Southwest and the Montreal Pop Fest. His newest album, Shady Retreat, was recorded in the attic of a 200-year-old farmhouse.

“Well Alright” – Peasant from Shady Retreat – March 2nd

…And So We Listened Really Closely

We don’t usually publish instrumentals here – mainly because there are already so many great songs with vocals(gotta draw the line somewhere). Plus, most people find instrumentals boring. But …And So I Watched You From Afar instrumental “The Voiceless” lights up with ambient guitar licks, chord progressions and a calm to climatic interludes, making it well worth a listen.

“The Voiceless” – …And So I Watched You From Afar from s/t debut – April 6th

VoicesVoices Make Their Voices Heard

The final song in this mix straddles the line between instrumental and vocal, layering smooth sounds with choruses to create a truly inspirational, relaxing and memorable track from a band no one has heard of – Voicesvoices. Check ’em out.

“Out From Under” – Voicesvoices from Origin – Jan. 25th

Recent Releases We Almost Missed VI: Owen Pallett, ARMS, Gareth Dickson, Monster Movie, Silver Seas

Posted on 04/21/201012/18/2019 by Max Hammer

The prolific and eccentric songwriter, multi-instrumentalist and musical collaborator, Owen Pallett – who’s something of a super star in the world of indie pop – released his third, and last, album as Final Fantasy. The brilliant LP, Heartland, is wonderfully arranged, featuring one finely crafted song after another, his magificent songwriting, and orchestration, including the regular employment of looped violin and vocals have spurred comparisons ranging from Andrew Bird to Brian Eno.

With the release of Heartland, an album that is meant to be played from beginning to end, Pallett has put the Final Fantasy project to behind him, and thankfully left us with a trio of terrific albums.

In February, Pallett reportedly entered the studio to collaborate on the long-awaited third album from Arcade Fire, which is expected to drop this summer. Pallett previously co-wrote the string arrangements on Arcade Fire’s celebrated albums, Funeral and Neon Bible. Pallett has also worked with Pet Shop Boys, The Mountain Goats and Fu*cked Up, among others.

Make sure not to miss out on the Best New Releases mix for this week published on Monday.

“Keep The Dog Quiet” – Owen Pallett/Final Fantasy from Heartland

“Tryst With Mephistopheles” – Owen Pallett/Final Fantasy from Heartland

“Lewis Takes His Shirt Off” – Owen Pallett/Final Fantasy from Lewis Takes His Shirt Off EP

Glasgow, Scotland musician Gareth Dickson, who has been increasingly garnering favor for this music in recent years, is definitely channeling Nick Drake – intentionally or not – in this lazy, stoner melody, “Noon”. Dickson once worked on a Nick Drake tribute album – not a big surprise.

“Noon” – Gareth Dickson, single – April 18th

Recent Releases We Almost Missed, Vol. V: The Library Is On Fire, Son Lux, The Ambience Affair, Japanther, Yawn, Kikipau

Posted on 04/14/201012/18/2019 by Max Hammer

When we first heard the track below, who do you think we thought of right away?

“Vanessa’s Theater of Peace” – The Library is on Fire from Magic Windows, Magic Nights

Yes! And so we Google’d and everything else to see if it was possible that Doug Martsch had formed a new band project, or perhaps was singing lead vocals on The Library Is On Fire‘s track, “Vanessa’s Theater of Peace.” But, it’s not him.

The Martsch and BTS aspects of The Library Is On Fire do crop up from time to time on Magic Windows, Magic Nights. The 15-track album, produced by Todd Tobias, the producer for Guided By Voices, has a good handful of strong tracks, including the songs featured here, but the LP’s high points are somewhat dragged down by the number of so-so and not-so-good tracks. They could have easily cut out more than a few of the 15 songs to make the album more streamlined and stronger. At least that’s how we would have done it – nevertheless, promising band; good album.

Recent Releases We Almost Missed, Vol. IV: Holly Golightly, Motion Turns It On, Ruby Suns, Josiah Wolf, Happy Birthday and More

Posted on 04/08/201012/18/2019 by Max Hammer

Audrey Hepburn as Holly Golightly in “Breakfast at Tiffany’s” (NYTimes)

Every week, via the regular Best New Releases series, we do our best to make it easy, reliable and convenient to listen to, and download, songs from the best new releases. That’s why we thought it would be cool to also launch a regular playlist mix series that features great music that was – for one reason or another – not included in the regular best new releases playlist series.

Today’s installment starts with Holly Golightly and the Brokeoffs‘ new album, Medicine County, and the track, “Forget It,” which sounds like a perfect lead song for a Quentin Tarantino movie soundtrack. The album cover doesn’t match the song’s (nevermind the album’s) haunting, bluesy sound. Also, Motion Turns It On‘s new album, Kaleidoscopic Equinox, available via Chocolate Lab Records in late 2009, was officially released in February. Plus, check out songs you might have missed from The Ruby Suns, Josiah Wolf, Dinosaur Feathers, Giant Cloud, Happy Birthday, Bradley, and Saintseneca.

So Much Great Music in the Pipeline: Stay Tuned to IRC

Stay tuned, we still have bunches and bunches of new songs and mixes coming soon, including amazing tracks from artists and bands most people have never heard of – but we promise, that is not a reflection of the music itself. In fact, a lot of the best music that comes out every year is rarely heard by ‘the public at-large,’ if you will. We’ll never know why that’s the case, but we know we’d like to keep it that way. Why? Because once “everyone” else knows about a band – i.e., Arcade Fire, Vampire Weekend, etc. – it somehow makes the music itself less special.

Coming up: Bands to Watch, One Man Bands, Best New Releases (week of April 12), In Dee Mail songs, Guide to Music Festivals of 2010, Coachella 2010 Preview, Singer and Songwriter Spotlight Series, Record Store Day mix, and a new installment of Ears To The Music (one of 2009’s most popular playlist series on IRC). You can view any of the regular series – containing hundreds of awesome MP3s, by clicking on the highlighted playlist mixes above.

Recent Releases We Almost Missed, Vol. III: Archeology, Rocky Votolato, The White White Lights, Schooner, Thruses, Ghostly

Posted on 04/03/201012/18/2019 by Max Hammer

For a couple of years now, and especially since the release of three EPs last year, Portland, Oregon’s indie rock folk band Archeology has become one of the city’s most popular bands, and that’s saying a lot in a city brimming with talented artists and bands. Archeology, which includes two band members that met at an archeological dig, has previously opened for Frightened Rabbit and Ruth. Their debut album, Memorial, was released on March 13 via River Seine Records.

“White Walls” – Archeology from Memorial – March 16th

Born in Frost, Texas and relocated to the Seattle area as a teen, folk/alt. country rocker Rocky Votolato, and former member of Waxwing (a hard-core band), has become one of Seattle‘s most well-known and admired singer and songwriters over the past decade. Votolato broke out nationally when his song, “White Daisy Passing” (see above) was featured on the TV series, OC. That song was a single from his fantastic 2006 record, Makers. In February, he released the terrific LP, True Devotion, his second release on Barsuk Records, and his tenth studio album since his 1999 self-titled debut.

“Red River” – Rocky Votolato from True Devotion – February 23rd
Rocky Votolato official website

The next song is a kick-back to the B52’s in a tumbler with shots of Sonic Youth and Yeah Yeah Yeahs. The White White Lights’ new single, “Space Invaders,” is a rocking and thumbing rip complete with sci-fi guitar licks of Deluxe Peroux and the raw lead vocals of Jenny Gacy. Last month, the band put packed in shows at SXSW and were recently named “Best New Austin Band” by The Austin Chronicle. The band’s debut EP, Medium Head Boy, is out now on Indierect Records.

“Space Invaders” – The White White Lights from Medium Head Boy – February 27th

Another release that came out in February that you might want to check out is North Carolina folk minimalist band Schooner‘s new EP, Duck Kee Sessions. The song featured here, the EP’s opening track, “Feel Better,” is like a mix of surfer rock and candy pop with a twist of country stomp, complete with catchy chord progressions, dynamic harmonies and perfect backing vocals. All of the proceeds from the sales of the EP are going to fight cancer, according to the band’s MySpace page.

“Feel Better” – Schooner from Duck Kee Sessions EP – February 9th

The following two songs include the shoegaze rock of the Thrushes and the harmony pop of Ghosty. We really hope you enjoyed this playlist mix and we don’t mind if you spread it around for others to enjoy.

Recent Releases We Almost Missed, Vol. II: Screaming Females, Prizzy Prizzy Please, Fictionist, Fresh and Onlys, Adam Green, Roadside Graves

Posted on 03/27/201001/09/2020 by Max Hammer

With the never-ending flow of new music coming from all directions, there are always going to be artists and bands, songs and albums, that we did not get to share with you before or upon the official release. In this case, these are all 2010 songs we really like so much to re-play them more than a few times. If anyone wants to make a zip of this mix and send it to us, we’ll post it and give you credit.

First up. Within a relatively short amount of time, the Minneapolis raw rock band Screaming Females have advanced from near obscurity to their current day name recognition in the world of alternative, underground, whatever you want to call it, rock music.

Screaming Females released their first two LPs DIY style, and apparently still had a lot of DIY spirit in the recording of their 2009 label debut LP (and third album), Power Move, released on Don Giovanni Records. The Village Voice called band member Marissa Paternoster the “Best Shredder in New York City 2009.”

In addition to that, bands like Dinosaur Jr., Throwing Muses, Dead Weather and Arctic Monkeys have personally asked Screaming Females to tour with them. After listening to the band’s music, it’s no wonder such huge bands like Dino Jr. and Jack White‘s Dead Weather want to be on the road with Screaming Females. Currently, Screaming Females are touring with Ted Leo and The Pharmacists until April 10th.

Following Screaming Females are some terrific ‘new to us’ bands like Chicago’s Prizzy Prizzy Please, Salt Lake City’s Fictionist and Sweden’s Moneybrothers, plus recently released tracks from familiar artists and bands like The Fresh & Only’s, Adam Green, The Octagon, and Roadside Graves. We wanted to close out this special playlist mix in a big way. The fresh track from Roadside Graves, “Liv Tyler,” is a sprawling and epic, near-seven minute composition full of interesting lyrics, sweet beats, alt country rockish vocals and a bombastic climax and chorus.

“Arm Over Arm” – Screaming Females from Power Move (March 23rd)
