cathedrals | howling

 
San Fransisco based indie dream pop rock duo Cathedrals release new material with their latest track Howling. The track wafts into your ear space with a low thrumming bass line intertwined with atypical fingered guitar work. But it is the “get to me every time” vocals of Ms. Brodie Jenkins that is the hook in the fishes mouth. The band is finishing up work on their yet untitled album, and hopefully it will be another reason 2016 will be the best 2016 ever! Oh wait! Before you go make sure you head on over to the Hype Machine and give the Howling track all of your ❤. Peace. Continue reading “cathedrals | howling”

rachel thomasin // the gravitate ep


 
The singer/songwriter Rachel Thomasin reached out to me through Twitter and boy I’m glad she did. How else would I have come to know the honest beauty of her songcraft? The Gravitate EP was released back in October, but nonetheless the songs have a timeless feel to them as they cascade over your eardrums like ancient waters washing over primordial stone. But, the songs have the opposite effect, instead of wearing you down like the ideal particle they enliven and rejuvenate. All in all, these are seven songs you’ll welcome into your head and heart, and eventually cherish. Also, in case you missed her March release, R. Thomasin, reach back and get yourself another earful of joyful noise. Peace. Continue reading “rachel thomasin // the gravitate ep”

dominique lejeune // wake ep

Some voices taste of a sugary delight, but this one is spiked with a dollop of absinthe.

 

dominique lejeune  //  wake ep

 
Dominique LeJeune has the kind of voice which sounds like it recently escaped from a candy wrapper, dripping sticky sweet footprints all the ways to your ears. And although its a voice of spilling all the colors of the entire Now & Laters lineup there is also fragility and honesty there too. Her debut WAKE EP courtesy of Community Records is a collection of 7-songs putting her heart and comparable songwriting skills on full display. Ms. LeJeune hails from New Orleans and has been kickin’ around the local music scene for a while now. I like her and I hope you do too. Peace. Continue reading “dominique lejeune // wake ep”

Trans- Records artist and Minneapolis, MN resident Sombear (electro-pop artist Brad Hale) just dropped his latest single, “Love You In The Dark”. It’s a sultry number with a hypnotic appeal and sensual vibe. The track is taken from his soon to be released Love You In The Dark LP, out July 23rd. Hey, I’m still recovering from his earlier release Incredibly Still. Peace. Continue reading “sombear // love you in the dark”

saskatchewan // spellbound

The skinny is Saksatchewan began as the project of Orlando, Florida based multi-instrumentalist Chandler Strang. Later on Gery, Dave & Austin joined the fray. Long story (or at least convoluted) short they’ve named themselves after a Canadian province. The makers of a beautifully unique blend of dream-pop have released their debut LP Occasion via Father / Daughter Records. The album is a mix of Pretzel-shaped melancholy, 80 British pop and 90’s white boy soul. I like it. Check out the tracks Spellbound and Possession after the jump. And, you can cop yours at iTunes. Peace. Continue reading “saskatchewan // spellbound”
