NOW STREAM THIS! Pond – Beard, Wives, Denim

May 15, 2012 in New Artist Intros, Now Stream This!

Take a dash of Unknown Mortal Orchestra, a pinch of White Denim, a smidge of Flaming Lips and sprinkle in some members from Tame Impala, and you get psychedelic Australian rockers, Pond. This band that hails from the Land Down Under has slipped under our radar for entirely way too long. While we have been exposed to them before, it just took a little nudge for us to share their latest release, Bear, Wives, Denim with you. Pond was formed in Perth, Western Australia in 2008 with members Nick Allbrook, Jay Watson and Joseph Ryan. After the success of Tame Impala’s 2010 breakthrough album, Innerspeaker, which shares three members with Pond, the album Beard, Wives, Denim was recorded and later released on March 2nd.  Get a listen to the album in its entirety below, and if you like it as much as we do, buy a copy for yourself here.

NEW ARTIST INTRO! Space Between Words – Valley of the Lizard King EP

May 11, 2012 in New Artist Intros, News You Can Use, Now Stream This!

Space Between Words, don’t we all wish for that when the lines of communication begin to break down? Formed in January of 2010, Space Between Words is a soulful southern rock band, with an alternative twist and an edgy 70’s garage bite. Imagine the Doors morphed with The Pixies and that might be what you get with Space Between Words. If you are in South Florida, you can catch these Native Floridians at the Green Room Nightclub with Deaf Poets, The Mirrors & Magic Hat Art Battle, tomorrow, Saturday, May 12th.  Click here for more information about the event and stream the EP, Valley of the Lizard King, below. If you like it, support the band and buy the EP!

 

 

NEW ARTIST INTRO! Natives – ‘Loose Secrets’

May 9, 2012 in New Artist Intros

In addition to a few bands we have presented on our site from the 10 in 20: A Lexington Recording Project, we were just introduced to this band, Natives, that was also featured on Paste’s 10 Kentucky Bands You Should Listen to Now . Straight out of Louisville, Natives, a five-piece band comprised of Matt Filip, McKinley Moore, Drew English, Matt Brown and Jason Sparks, bring us noisy, psychedelic garage rock. The band released the five-track album, Loose Secrets, last August via Rad Tantrum Records. The album infuses sounds from ’60s garage rock that is reminiscent of The Stooges and The Velvet Underground. If you like Deer Tick and such, you will love, love, love this band. Check out the title track from the album, Loose Secrets, below.

LATE NIGHT APPEARANCES & NEW VIDEO RELEASE! Dr. Dog on Last Call w/ Carson Daly & ‘Warrior Man’

February 24, 2012 in late night appearances, New Video Release, Now Stream This!, Performances

Check out psychedelic alt rock band, Dr. Dog’s latest appearance on Last Call with Carson Daly the other night. They are still in “promo mode” for their latest release of Be the Void. Get a gander at our review of the album over here.

Then, get a look and listen to a video for ‘That Old Black Hole,’ which isn’t that new, but we felt compelled to share it with you today because it really does showcase the band’s lyrical talents so well. If you listen carefully to ‘That Old Black Hole’ you will hear the fabulous poetry and grow a greater appreciation for the tune and possibly the band.

Finally, there is a new release of the video for ‘Warrior Man’ below:

NEW RELEASE TUESDAY! Dr. Dog – Be the Void

February 7, 2012 in New Release Tuesday, Now Stream This!

2010’s Shame, Shame, catapulted Dr. Dog into the national spotlight despite the fact that the band had already put out six albums before that. We saw them in their infancy as a band at Bonnaroo 2007 and it was then we had the highest of hopes for this little band from Philly that could. This psychedelic indie-influenced rock band weaves through folk and Americana in their music. Be the Void, their seventh effort, is released today on Anti-Records and no doubt, Dr. Dog delivers. We were lucky to hear a preview of a few of the new tunes at Orlando Calling 2011 in November. And after listening to the entire album (a few times!), we really believe that Be the Void could be the album that takes them to the next level. So far, every song has fully captured our attention and certainly, our interest. Truly, there is no one song on the album that we can say is quite better than another, but we must point out ‘Lonesome’, ‘How Long Must I Wait’, ‘Vampire’ and ‘Over Here, Over There’ as a few of our favorites.

A few weeks ago, Dr. Dog provided a pre-release streaming of Be the Void exclusively on Team Coco. In our post about the pre-release stream, we also provided a stream of ‘Lonesome’. You can stream the entire album at American Songwriter. Below is a stream that ‘Lonesome’ and ‘That Old Black Hole’ from Be the Void and a few oldies, but goodies.

NOW STREAM THIS! A Place to Bury Strangers – Onwards Toward the Wall EP

February 2, 2012 in Now Stream This!

A Place to Bury Strangers delivers the nostalgic alternative goth to those in need and those desirous of the sound. We hate to make comparisons of this band, as they simply are unique, but you get the idea. They are a psychedelic, experimental rock band with guitars, thick bass and clean, but hyper-fast, percussion that truly drive us to enjoy this EP. Stream their latest EP below, courtesy of The Hype Machine, before it’s release next Tuesday, February 7th. You can pre-order the album here.

NOW STREAM THIS! Warpaint – Exquisite Corpse EP

January 23, 2012 in Now Stream This!

It seems like it’s been forever since we heard anything from Los Angeles-based, Warpaint. We had the honor of seeing them live at Coachella 2011. Exquisite Corpse is the debut EP and the songs were recorded back in 2007. Some of the songs have been in the group’s repertoire for over five years. The most interesting factoid we just found out was that the EP is mixed by former Red Hot Chili Peppers guitarist, John Frusciante, and also features current Red Hot Chili Peppers guitarist, Josh Klinghoffer performing drums on “Billie Holiday”. The EP will definitely make you feel more alive then dead.

You can also check out the video by Athens Soundies for ‘Billie Holiday,’ one of our favorites, below:

NEW ARTIST INTRO! The Cult of Dom Keller EP3

December 12, 2011 in New Artist Intros, Now Stream This!

We are kicking ourselves for not bringing this EP to your attention sooner, but time, as always, ran away from us. We are pleased to introduce you to, The Cult of Dom Keller. We previously mentioned them in our Halloween post, but let us give you a proper introduction and tell you all about them. They are four guys from Nottingham, England that take you on a psychedelic journey to the depths of garage rock, blues & perhaps, gospel. We have been fans of theirs for over a year now and are excited to share their EP3 with you today. They most recently played in the States at the Austin Psych Fest 2011. If you like The Black Angels, you will adore The Cult of Dom Keller. Please support this band by donating on their bandcamp page so they can make their way back to the States sooner, rather than later!
