paperhead // pictures of her demise


 
For many reasons the Nashville, Tennessee quartet Paperhead are the embodiment of the throwback band. With songs interwoven with classic rock, with The Beatles being the strongest thread of familiarity, you get songs which seem to float just out of reach. Listen to the band’s latest, “Pictures Of Her Demise” and last year spacey offering “Rain”. You’ll get the feeling you not on familiar ground anymore. Peace.

casa del mirto // the haste

I have a question, how many electro/chillwave/dream pop bands do you know from the The Boot or more commonly known as Italia? Well, the Italian band Casa del Mirto is perhaps the premiere electro export from the land of fashion and pizza. I’ve been digging around the internet and found their latest release Taxus Baccata EP on Bandcamp. Also, via iTunes more of their unique style of music can be had. I really enjoy the sinuous and sexy track, “Haste” which was a single release circa 2010. But, this band has a truck load of additional lovely songs, from the romantically somber to more than a few that’ll make you wanna dance. Peace. Continue reading “casa del mirto // the haste”

mothlight // american spirit ep

The San Diego electro collective known as Mothlight and helmed by music mastermind Matt Billings released their American Spirit EP a few months ago (May 17th), and frankly speaking you deserve nothing less than to be washed beneath this luscious wave of euphoria over and over again. It’s hard to categorize Mothlight’s sound, because its more an amalgamation of genres, ranging from ambient, chillwave, psychedelica and the seemingly all-encompassing scatter-shot umbrella known as contemporary Pop music. Whatever you deign to label it, it works. Peace. Continue reading “mothlight // american spirit ep”

laura marling // i was just a card (video)

Laura Marling is an incredibly gifted singer/songwriter whose talent is ever-expanding. I have been meaning to post more of her music and alas I have. I especially love the “I Was Just A Card” video for its beautiful display of the human form in motion just as much as I adore Ms. Marling’s wonderful voice unspooled into song. You can find this song, along with nine others on her A Creature I Do No Know (2011) release. Peace. Continue reading “laura marling // i was just a card (video)”
