blackbird blackbird // summer’s almost here

The latest track from Blackbird Blackbird is titled Summer’s Almost Here is out and about making friends with ears everywhere. And, according to the band, “This track is about dancing under moonlight with friends and loved ones, embracing the seasons, and transitioning into a period of irreversible change.” Also, the band  is hard at work putting the finishing touches on their forthcoming LP.

poliça // tiff + justin vernon = official music video

A sonic homage to radical feminism never sounded so darn good!

My favorite Minnesota band (Sorry, Now, Now) Poliça has a new song (and video) wherein lead vocalist Channy Leaneagh interrogates her doppelgänger to a literal bloody mess. Let’s see, there’s punching, choking and bit of water boarding for good measure. Sounds like a recipe for throwing a “Tiff,” if I ever saw one. But violence aside, the song also features Mr. Justin Vernon and is taken from the band’s forthcoming sophomore release Shulamith out later this year.

grouplove // ways to go

 

The band Grouplove is a favorite here at The Earolology Dept. and for good reason. The band makes infectious (really no other way to describe it) music that quickly gets stuck in your frontal cortex and takes up residence. Check out the bands spanking new video for Ways To Go from the bands forthcoming Spreading Rumors LP (via Canvasback / Atlantic). You can pre-order Spreading Rumors (Deluxe) on iTunes like I just did. Peace. Continue reading “grouplove // ways to go”

laura welsh // cold front

This salacious bit of soulful Pop, from up and coming femme fatale Laura Welsh. The track is Cold Front, and as good as the song is the video upstages it by a country mile. No release date for an official debut offering, but rest assure it’s coming, but I’ll keep you posted. Also, check out her song Hollow Drum it’ll send shivers down you back. This young lady has a voice like a left hook jab ala Manny Pacquiao. Peace. Continue reading “laura welsh // cold front”

cece // framework ep

In life there is both light and darkness. Where you chose to dwell is up to you. But admittedly at times we lose our way trying to make it through the labyrinth of our existence. The music of CeCe, a mere 19-year old, can help light your way. Check out her Framework EP via Quatre Femmes Records and find comfort and security (at least whilst the music plays) in this quadlection (made up word) of intimate songs. Peace. Continue reading “cece // framework ep”

kilo kish // give it 2 u = jordan knight cover

Kilo Kish is potent as is, a testament to her tendency to seduce a track right out of it’s aural confines is her latest rendition. On this one she take Jordan Knight‘s Give It 2 U and strips it bare, then adds her own special homegrown blend of spacey and hypnotic. It works. Peace.
