Embeds allowing bloggers to easily embed videos from Distrify. Just go to any Distrify film page or player and copy the URL. Paste that URL in any WordPress blog and it will automatically be converted to an embedded Distrify player. If you are logged in to distrify.com it will automatically add your affiliate tracking code to your embeds. Make sure you turn on Auto-embeds in your WP settings and also make sure that the URL is on its own line and not hyperlinked (clickable when viewing the post). The plugin also extracts the still image from the film and saves it as the Featured Image for the post. This actually works for any Embed (not just Distrify) that you embed into your WordPress blog.

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.

Cathedrals’ Howling: Lyrics
 
Hot night coming
Keep the car running
Lavender fingers
Swallow my pollen

God, I fell into your spell
On the rite of god we fell
You would flash an eyelid babe
You had me howling

Caught, I swam into your skin
On a night you let me under your sin
You had me howling
You had me howling

Who oh oh, blush
Who oh oh, blush

Golden siren
Under exposing
Come lay your weakness down
On the floor in the backseat

God, I fell into your spell
On the rite of god we fell
You would flash an eyelid babe
You had me howling

Caught, I swam into your skin
On the night you led me under your sin
You had me howling
You had me howling

Who oh oh, blush
Who oh oh, blush
Who oh oh, blush

Under your spell.

Scott Hansen, Zac Brown, Rory O’Connor are Tycho and joyfully not the other way around. Often bands get identified by their stage name and the therefore the all important aspects of the contributing individuals gets lost in the mix. All instrumental songs are special to me, because they rely on the lyric of the music to add dept of character and gracious color ridden radiance translated to a listener without uttering a single word. The music of Tycho speaks to you and the timbre of your soul shivers from it’s sheer honesty and tonal sincerity.

Oh, and if you haven’t please give a listen to Tycho’s crazy sin-insatiable Dive LP it’ll give your goosebumps goosebumps too.
 

 

Tycho is set to release the beautifully structured AWAKE LP April 8th 2014 courtesy of Ghostly International. This album is great for anything you need it to be, and naturally you can of course Pre-order it via Amazon ISO50 and iTunes. Peace.

Sonny & The Sunsets return to not only thrill fans with just another album. This time out the subject matter will put listeners in touch with their last breath, and just maybe upon listening to this LP one’s life will unfurl before your eyes. Hopefully as an harbinger to entertainment and not the conclusion of ones’ lifeline..  Lead singer/songwriter Sonny Smith experienced the death of a close friend (our condolences) and this life event had a profound effect on his relationship and understanding of what it means to pass on the other side so to speak. The songs on the new LP Antenna To The Afterworld are quirky, introspective and yet still maintain a high degree of listenability. The songs take on various influences, at times sounding like new wave rockabilly and other times, they sound like something else entirely. The album hits the streets June  11th, 2013. Peace.

The band Cool Ghouls hail from San Francisco, CA and even though I’m not sure what it means in terms of their ability to rock out, I can tell you this, they’re cool beans! Listen and be impressed as band members Pat Thomas, Ryan Wong, Pat McDonald, and Alex Fleshman make their own brand of Beach Boys-esque meets rockabilly folkish rock and funnel it through a futuristic shaggy-haired aesthetic. The C to the G dropped their beer-stained official self-named debut LP Cool Ghouls recently (April 23rd) and I highly recommend it on vinyl, which you can cop via Empty Cellar Records. Also, you can get a three-song preview of the songs Ballin’, Things I Seen and Natural Life by visiting Bandcamp. Peace.

The track is “Here We Go Again,” and you can hear as much as you please on his debut solo album ‘Lysandre‘, no release date as of yet, but when I know you’ll know. Peace.

From San Francisco with a satchel full of songs.

After the release of their 2010 release ‘Wind Up Wooden Heart‘ via Antenna Farm Records, the San Franciscan 5-piece band Social Studies spent a great deal of time touring and writing new material in preparation for their next album. After a short break in 2011 their latest album ‘Developer‘ was released late last year (2012). The song “Away For The Weekend,” is a tumbling rock-infused bossa nova track, and like every SS tune it is carried wonderfully by lead singer Natalia Rogovin‘s warm vocals. After the jump you can also take a peek at the band’s “Terracur,” video. You’re welcome. Peace.

Tracklisting:

1) Delicate Hands
2) Away For The Weekend
3) Terracur
4) Still Life
5) Think Of The Sea
6) Western Addition
7) You Still Laughing
8) Developer
9) Sans
10) Paint
