Paris Is Burning have a sound subterfuged from musical DNA of 80’s alternative rock, namely The Smiths and Big Country, etc.? Yet, the band adds the nuance of beefier guitar rattle and hum with a more contemporary post-punk pop-ish attitude. The band came together in 2012 and released some fairly respectable music. In January they gave us the two-track release featuring Wild and This City. Then, in the month of Juno they rang out with three more song contained in the shining glittery pill of the Basement Sessions. I am thinking a full length release in 2014. I hope so. Peace.

typhoon // young fathers + video
I am always a gluten for new music from the band Typhoon and when they deliver a song (and a video) like Young Fathers it is easy to hear, and see why. If you like what you hear then check out the band’s August release White Lighter via Tender Loving Empire. Peace.
P.S. Isn’t Kyle Morton’s voice much like a shot of raw whiskey with a slow motion splash of sugar sweet? GAWD!

chvrches // lies (lxury remix) + video
Chvrches make good music (perhaps the kind of music music listens to when it needs to unwind), and with each song, and each release they only get better, or so I think. Therefore, may I suggest The Bones of What You Believe LP, it was released courtesy of Glassnote Records in September. Which brings us to the issue at hand, the Lies track and video. The Lxury Remix is tantalizingly, um … robust. Let me know what you think. Peace. Continue reading “chvrches // lies (lxury remix) + video”
